his disposal for accomplishing matters
that must be settled before congress
convenes in regular session in Decem.
Der is comparatively short. There are
many things requiring attention-frst,
/ preparation Of the first annual mes
sage, which will recommend the legis-
lation with which the new administra-
ton will start its policy program: Sec
ond. study and preparation of the
many important speeches which the
| president is to make in different Sec
tons of the country in September De-
tober and November. 1t is apparent.
therefore, that the summer at Beverly
cannot be one continuous golf game.
but the president has the happy facul-
ty of separating each day into work
time and play time, so that he is able
to get the full benefit and enjoyment
of the exercise necessary to keep him
in trim.
Texans Want to See Taft.
Among recent visitors was Cecil
Lyon, Republican national committee
man from Texas. Colonel Lyon came
to discuss with the president his visit
to Texas in October.
Everybody in Texas wants to see the
president, according to Lyon. Many of
the towns are ready to go to extreme
lengths to get him to stop for visit.
"Out in Temple. Tex" said Lyon,
they wanted Roosevelt when he WIS.,
tied the state. but he sent word that
he would not be able to stop. The
schedule called for the train to run
right through Temple. But out in
Texas we have away. Just as soon
as Temple got word that Teddy could
not stop the town council was called
in extra session. and an ordinance
was rushed through declaring it to be
law that all trains carrying the
president of the United States should
stop in Temple for fifteen minutes.
I. r. stopped there and got the best.
reception in the state.''
Will Visit Brothers. Ranch.
Charles P. Taft. the presidents
brother. who with Mrs. Taft. has
been visiting the Boardmans at Bev-
erly farm. has left for the Lone
Star State. He will go down to his
big ranch near Corpus Christi. Tex.
to prepare for the welcome to be ex-
tended to the president when he visits
there late in October The ranch is
down near the southern tip end of
the state. and it is said there will be
great "doings" in honor of the presi-
dent Mr.. Taft will spend four days
on the ranch the longest stop he will
make at any place during his 1900
mile trip.

party has been completed Besides
the president there will be John Hays
Hammond, Archibald W. Butt, mill
tary aid: Wendell W. Mischief, as
sistant secretary; DR.. j. j. Richard
son of Washington. James Sloan Jr:;

and Major Arthur Brooks, the presi-
dents confidential messenger Six
newspaper men will go along. The

No Boom For Ipswich.
Real estate spectators who are ad-
vertising property at the expense of
the president got setback the other
day when Mr. Taft caused it to be
denied that his brother Charles P.
plans the purchase of house in Ip-
switch. Residents there have an
nounced frequently that the president
is planning to acqSsre place there.
This talk has aroused jealousy in
Beverly. which has fond hopes of con-
tinuing to be the summer capital. 1t
has also developed the fact that the
Taft lease ON the Evans cottage is
for one year only. He has an option
TO renew it from year to year.
Mrs. Taft's Health Improved.
Mrs. Taft's return to health has pro-
crossed so far that her sister, Mrs.
Lewis More of Pittsburg, who had
been her constant companion since the
nervous breakdown in Washington.
has left Beverly TO spend the end of
the summer with her husband. Pro-
fessor More. at Biddeford Pool, Me.
Mrs. More gladly gave up her entire
summer to be with her sister. and the
fact that she has left is the best indi-
cation Of how thoroughly the mistress
of the White House has recovered.
Mrs. Taft probably will remain in
Beverly until Oct or after. Professor
and Mrs. More used the presidents
yacht Sylph for their trip to Maine.
Presidents Motor In Frequent Use.
The president is daily extending his
late afternoon motor trips. The roads
and scenery are attractive, and the
journeys are selected from road maps
of the north shore and Cape Ann coun-
try. One of the presidents trips show
ed total distance covered of ninety
three miles. There is seldom day
that the mileage falls below fifty.

sent to the winners the Taft and Dra-
per cups
