of Leopolds wealth will probably
never be revealed.
Senator Winer, the kings friend
and confidential adviser, told the
Associated Press that Leopold had
turned over a large portion of his
wealth to the Baroness Vaughn and
her children, and had created a
stock company of his estate to fore
stall any possible raid upon it by
the Princeses Louise or Stephanie,
or their creditors. Senator Winer
said later that perhaps large por-
tion of the property would be given
the Princess Clementine, aside from
the bequest, which had been provid-
ed for by special income from
Congo property.
Investigation shows that the right
of succession to the throne by the
child of the king, by the Baroness
Vaughn, isn't worthy of serious con-
sideration. It is pointed out that
if there was only a religious cere-
mony, the laws of the kingdom will
prevent the accession of the child
of such a union.

mill burned and other property de-
stroyed by fire, has determined that

be covered with corrugated iron.
The floor will be of cement and

Artificial cold is a new comfort and
has produced the cold house as an eff
fectiVe auxiliary to the hot house in the
supply of flowers. The horticulturist
now retards the blooming of flowers
as nature does in the northern regions,
by means OF cold. The process, ap-
piled wholesale, in England especially,
and in Germany and Holland, has
given birth to a new horticultural
method.
In February and March spiraeas,
azaleas, Chinese plum trees, tufts OF
deutzia, shoots Of lilies of the valley,
lilies n roses are torn from the
ground and placed in a cold, dark

joyed an auto trip across Iowa. IL was

the city executive gesticulating vigor-

TO gaze at the caller.
But as before, he ignored the com

into the field after the obstinate reap

the chauffeur pointing toward his
party.
Yes was the calm reply.
