story botanical notes for september the arrival of september suggests to many people the endt suntmer- and consequently a season of dirge and lamentation others would sing paeans to the relief of cooler nights of sweet repose which the turn of the year brings with that soft sausy wist- fulness of the countryside so redol ent of the evanescent enchantment of spring the fall of dewspangled gossamer is one of the many charms of sweet september- numberless threads of the very finest silk made by tiny spiders supposed in simpler times to supply the looms with which fairies wove the material for their dainty little dresses then there is the mystic fascination of the huge orange harvest moon by night while by day the september son touches the blushing taees gently as with a benison towas the end of the month many of these trees will turn into a blaze of glory the sumacs are among the first to change not onljl their beautiful femllke leaves shade into purple crimson and orange but the erect tight velvety clusters of fruit be come red and persist after the leaves have fallen the berries are clothed with a hairy stickiness that is pleas antly acid these trees and shrubs are often found growing on hot dry hillsides when their iruitjt is said- offers a grateful refreshment to the thirsty traveller whether sucked la the mouth until bared of their acid coating or

history of each little trinket occasionally she would hold up a bit of especially colorful jade to her ears and smile at the reflec tion of the tawny hair fringing the amazing green of the ornament

her merry hazel eyes at such tunes the professor would stamp to his room today the professor had strug gled all the morning attempting to achieve a darkly saturnine smile he hoped to annihilate his jibers with that look he had read of it in a current magazine of worth and he hoped to get practiced up on it so that he might squelch that friv olous miss bascomb who taught french to the junior high students and the result had been ridicula it was too much it was more that mortal man could stand he would leave he would return to the hills of his native new hamp shire and spend the rest of his

large and complicated group of plants and are in many cases hard to tell apart but a few can be named at sight such as the largeleaved aster aster macrophyl- lus socalled be o its threi or four conspicuous leaves on long stems in a clump near the ground it grows in shady places as does the heartleaved aster a cordifollus with its masses of palelavender sowerheads but the beat of them all is the new england aster a novae- angllae with its huge branching clusters of large violet or magenta- purple flowerheads and so dressed in gold and royal purple september as with a fanfare of trumpets hails the harvest it is all very wonderful this march of floras year which starts with the primitive catkinbearing families and ends triumphantly with the new est and most complex thej2omposlte to which the goldenrods and asters belong at this time the goldenrods flood the world with gold in their over eighty different kinds of all shapes and sizes they may be seen growing everywhere from the tops of moun tains to the seaside there are also those which live in the woods and others which prefer to dwell in the all the canadian goldenrods have yellow flowers except one and that is known as sliver rod soudago bi- color because its flowers are cream white only an expert can name most ol the species there are however some outstanding kinds which are recognizable by the average botanist such as the bluestemmed or wreath goldenrod s caesla whose un branched stem is studied for nearly its entire length with pale yellow clusters of flowers in the axils of its featherveined leaves it favours moist woods and thickets another woodland species is the zlg xag 8 flexicaulis socalled on account of its prolonged angled stem adorned with small clusters of flowers in much the same manner as s caesla but its saw edged leaves are oval in the swamps and peat bogs the bog ool denrod s uliglnosa sends up two to four feet high a densely flowered ob long terminal spire of flowers its short branches are so appressed that it has a wandllke effect the leaves are long and narrow the 16weft often measuring nine inches long but per haps the best known of all are the canada goldenrod s canadensis and the tall goldenrod s altlsslma which transform whole acres into lakes of gold with their waving plumes of pyramidshaped clusters of flowers one much resembles the other but the tall goldenrod is laller anci has larger flowerheads while canada goldenrod has nearly the smallest flowerheads of them all the asters or michaelmas daisies socalled because the feast o st michael falls on

ottawa journals editorial columns that the fifty or sixty millions of dollars we pay into the treasury every year to take care of that lame duck the government owned railway is not lost the fol lowing by the journal s writer should show how to do it the fallacy that money which we pay to the government for a service such as our canadian national rail ways is lost how is it lost this money lsn t thrown into the ocean doesnt dlssappear it is paid to proj ducers of materials who employ work- ers paid to bond holders who in turn use it to by goods ana services from other canadians to employ other canadians thus apart altogether from the value that we get in national service the money we put up for can adian national railways deficit finds its way into the pockets of our cap adlan people
