The plant, tthe b'ttves of which appear in cluHtcrs of three, may well give) pause to all those who arc tramp-j lug In' the country, says a recent ! bulletin. It Is wort h while for j every out-of-doors person to know how to recognize this plant ho thatJ lie may ue aoie to jmtumguisii oe tween vegetation that is friendly and thoKp plants and vines and other growing things that should be avoided. Poison oak is one of the worst offenders, as the growth uf. this creeping, i-liiming and climbing vine is particularly abundant. Hut you can avoid it if you will re member that poison oak is readily distinguishable, from other vines by Its three leaflets. The plant a a shrub which grows wild in this state. It may lay prostrate upon (he ground, though it will climb shrubbery or trees- in sunny loca tions. It niuy grow erect with a : sAlf-supporting stem. Tim leaves ' have a peculiar satiny appearance.! The flowers are greenish yellow ' and are followed by small drupa ceous pule green smooth fruits,! t mr ne iji loose bunches. j The dermatltic-skln poisoning ! that is caused by poison oak. j which is not an oak at all, is due to an irriiative resin ou substance, in the sap of the plants. Some of! the conditions under which puis-1 oning can occur from this plant! are in dispute. While cases of poison imk can be usually traced to ill recti contact j with the plant Itself, It. Is u.uito ! possible to be affected indirectly foi- the sap can be carried on fur or bodies of animals, on farm im plements, golf sticks or balls, on clothing, shoes and even in smoke j coming from the burning branches: of this plant.

P) A horse with the high fainting name of Minerva t'heevy fell in a well yesterday, being rescued ' aft-r much to-do and with great diffi culty. t Minerva Cheevy, who pulls n mean plough on John Nehore's farm near Laber'tyvllle, was stand ing in deep thought on sonu hoards covering the well. The boards had seen their best days. They broke dropping Minerva L'heevy 1 Ti feet into a hit of water. The water was over Minerva's head and tho nag was in imminent danger of drowning. A man Jumped In to tho rescue. In the excitement tils .niimo was not learned, AVhoover .ho was, ho jumped In. , '' The man and horse floundored around fbrji while until finally the man made, connections with tho halter tho animal wore. A ropo Svas dropped down and tho halter strap was made, fast to It. After which tho ropo was pulled taut so that Minerva's head was held above water. In this unnatural, but necessary posture, the horse remained until the IJhertyvillo flro department got there. It was decided to pump Hi wt?II dry. and this was don. A belt was then placed around Minerva, a era no was brought for ward, and-the horse was hoisted to safety. Minerva Cheevy todav was back on tho front 'jf a cultivator. fires fed by heavy tenacious branches of this plant. When one is known to have come in contact with poison oak. es pecially one who is known to be susceptible, washing the ban tin as soon as possible with a good lather of an alkaline soap is of some benefit since the poisonous resin is not soluble In water anil can not ho removed by that alone. Itch ing and redness arc the first symp toms of the dermattitis which may be delayed for a day or several days. If you have these symp toms you should consult your doc tor in order that he may be able to tell you what to do next.
