Therein lies the story of how Messrs.
Lorimer and Weeks were allowed to
participate in the good thing out in
Colorado. The most important house
committee on which Mr. Brooks
served while in congress was the COM
mittee on agriculture. Mr.. Lorimer
and Mr.. Weeks were fellow members.
They sat side by side in many i'm
portant meetings of the committee
during the packing house inquiry and
the discussion of the pure food bill.
Naturally they all became fast friends,
and accordingly when Mr. Brooks re-
turned to private life and visited the
east in search of capital for his new
projects he sought them out and won
their approval and financial support
Thus it was through his member
ship on the committee on agriculture
that Mr.. Lorimer has been afforded

WAsHINGTON. = President Taft,
w the summer "bachelor" of the
White House, is sharing the fate of
many other government officials and
Washington residents whose families

shore. The president is taking the
situation philosophically, doesn't seem
to mind the hot weather and is read
ing daily with great delight letters
from Beverly which tell of the rapid
improvement in Mrs. Taft's health.
Living bachelor fashion at the
White House is not fraught with the
same discomforts that beset the mere
man who has his home "closed up on
him. when his wife goes away and is
compelled to seek food and lodging as
best he may. The president and Mrs.
Taft divided the White House help"
when the occupancy of the Beverly
cottage was begun, so the president
is we'll taken care of and domestic
affairs at the White House run on
much the same.

Mrs. Taft to take the first cook to

second cook" who is a legacy from
the Roosevelt administration. She is
negro girl named Mary, who halls
from Old Virginia and whose sway
over the White House kitchens now is
complete.

What are called Marden and Dere.
The country where the best Turkish
tobacco is grown is a low mountain
GUS region bordering the south shore
OF the Black sea. The tobacco is
grown, like the grapes, on the slopes
OF the hills, and the climate is always
humid. A clear sky and bright sun
are extremely rare. The methods of
tobacco culture are primitive, and
much is left to chance and nature;
no systematic rotation of crops is
practiced, no scientific fertilizing and
there is little cultivation.
In Trebizond the average yield is
about. 800 pounds of tobacco per acre.
The leaves are put on strings, each
quality by itself, and hung on poles in
the open air. Then, when dry, they are
put into a sweathouse. A good deal of
the Turkish tobacco is made up in
Hungary for the American cigarette
trade. In one factory in Fiune, Hun.
gary, in the last year, 371 ,OOO, 900 Gig
arettes were manufactured. Some of
the tobacco came from Brazil, Java
and Sumatra.

Taft as Bachelor in the White House

The president has happily solved
the problem of disposing of the long
evenings by taking long autmobile
rides about the city and suburbs. He
usually starts out on these trips about
$3.50 o'clock, returning to the White
House at II or afterward. Capt. Arch
ibald Butt, the presidents aide, is al
ways his companion on these Jour
neys and usually the president tele-
phones an invitation to some cabinet
officer, senator or representative, and
stops at the guests house or club to
pick him up. The evening rides often
extend out into the beautiful Rock
Creek park, which stretches for miles
along the little waterway whose name
it bears. At other times Mr.. Taft has
his chauffeur drive about the city or
on the Potomac park driveways,
which skirt the river back of the White
House and the monument grounds.
Arising at about seven o'clock the
president gives nearly an hour to
dumb-bells, pulley weights and other
forms of exercise prescribed for him.
He breakfasts slowly and usually
alone. During his morning meal and
for half an hour or so afterward, the
president reads the newspapers. Be-
tween $3.50 and 10 he begins his busy
day in the executiva offices. At 1870
