DESPITE DENIALS
President Cannot Tell What
May Arise in Future, Says
LOeb'S Statement.

Two important announcements were
made at the White House this after
noon; one 10 the erect that the Pre- ST.

President had received an invitation

was wanted. Il is reasonable TO sup
pose that should the President deliver d
set speech upon any Of the issues Of
the day. regardless Of the occasion. that
he might very properly inject certain
questions Of the campaign.
Secretary Loeb, in referring TO the
Bryan letter. said that the President
felt that IL was purely personal attack
upon himself, and for this reason Mr..
Bryan's latest espIstle required no an
swer.
May Stump Anyhow.
The impression is daily growing. de-
spite the announcement that the Presi-
dents present intentions are other
wise, that he will sooner or later take
the stump in the interest of Judge
Taft. That a number Of party leaders
are urging that he throw precedent 70
the winds and urge the election of the
Republican candidate, II conditions do
not assume a more favorabie attitude
in the last stages OF the campaign, is
definitely known.
Heretofore, announcements as 20 the

Starting Plants for
Winter FIolvers

BY EVELYN PRINCE CAHOoN.
Now Is the time for starting
slips for winter plants. A strong,
shallow box is needed for their
roofing. Those in which plug to-
bacco comes are very good.
Fill a box with sand, pinch
about a third of the leaves from
each slip, and sink in the sand be-
low bne joint of the stem.
Keep the sand moist, but not
wet, and leave the box in some
place where 1t will have the sun
shine for part, but not all, of the
day. Slipsk nown to be difficult
to root should be covered with
glass--an inverted glass jar will
do. But this must not be kept
long in the sun, or the slip will be
steamed to death by the heating
of the vapor confined under the
glass.
When the rootlets are about half
an inch long, move each little plant
to a tiny pot (about two inches
across), and sink these pots in
box of moist sand. The contents
of the pot should be about two
thirds sand, one third rich earth.
Small, inverted paper cones,
clipped of their tips, so the water
may reach the plant roots, will an
swer instead of pots. The point is
to have the roots confined in small
space. so they may grow compact.
When the small pots have pretty

certained by tapping the inverted
pot until the root bound earth falls
out. transplant finally to earthen
pots or tin cans about four inches
in diameter, filed with mixture
of less than half sand, and the
rest very rich earth.
This will doubtless be in Octn
Der, and the pots Qugh. by this
