PRESIDENT TAFT HOME AGAIN
Was Absent From Washington
More Than Three Months.
He Made a Trip Of 10000 Miles
Through The West and South
266 Speeches Delivered.

Washington, D. C-After an alb
ing which he has made trip of 49,
900 miles through the West and
South, President Taft slept in the
White House. He left the capital on
August last, with the cheers of the
crowds ringing in his ears. He re-
turned to the tune of the same cheers,
but he tarried only moment with
the various welcoming parties. His
objective point was the White House
and Mrs. Taft, and as quickly as he
could get awayfrom the brief speeches
of welcome he climbed into his big
automobile. The chauffeur broke all
the speed records of the District on
the last leg of the Presidents record
making journey.
When President Taft spoke at the
City Auditorium in Richmond in the
afternoon he made his 266th speech
OF the long trip, which, according to
the itinerary consisted of 12,759
miles, but with side trips amounted
to more than $4,000 miles.
President Taft told members of his
party that outside of an impatience to
be with Mrs. Taft again he would not
mind If the trip should continue two
or three weeks longer. Physically the
President is in just as good If not bet
ter shape than when he started. He
has been fatigued at the end of some
of the long programs Of entertainment
in a number of cities, but nights
good sleep, and there is no sounder
sleeper in all the world than he is,
always puts the President in the best
of shape for another whirl at ban
quets or entertainments.
The President decided not to SEQ
any callers at the White House, and
if he visits the Executive Offices at all
it will be merely to inspect the inn
provements that have been accom-
plished there during his absence.
Mr.. Taft's stay in Washington was
brief, as he had agreed to go to Mid
dletown and Hartford, Conn, and in
the meantime to deliver an address
in Washington before the Laymen's
missionary Society.

Dahlias From Potatoes

By a curious horticultural irony,
the dahlia, which is the popular idol
of all our early autumn flower shows,
has dreadfully prosaic parentage.
1t has been developed from the Mexi-
can tubers introduced about 120
years ago by the Swedish naturalist,
Dr. Dahl, for the purely commercial
purpose of supplementing the potato.
They did not catch on" and the
dahlia dish soon disappeared from
British dinner tables: but our gar
deners at once perceived the great
potentialities of the flower, and pro-
ceeded to produce the double dahlia,
and other delightful floral fantasies.
The tubers of the dahlia, too acrid
for our insular taste, are still eaten
in some parts of France. Dundee

NEW JERSEY STATE NEVIS
Beavers Flood a Potato silo


BARLEY Schoonmaker, of Three
Bridges, discovered that "a colony of
beavers had damned Lauber's Run,
above his farm, and diverted the wat
er sd that it flooded a part of his corn
field The farmer had no redress
when the animals blocked the, stream
and flooded his cornfield, because the
State game laws prevent the killing
of beavers. The beavers evidently
considered a large potato silo which
Schoonmaker has on, the southeast
section of his land as an admirable
place for a sub-colony. The silo was
a ready-built dam, but there was no
water near it. This difficulty was
overcome by the beavers who dug a
canal from the flooded meadows across
sixty feet of higher land and flooded
the silo. Schoonmaker was amazed
at the industry of the beavers. He
also was pretty much disturbed over
the flooding OF the silo. Under four
feetio water are about forty bushels
of potatoes, which he had intended to
hold for the late rise in prices. He
thinks he can get the State to pay for
the loss of the potatoes. if not for the
damage done his land by the beavers
irrigation canal About ten of the
beavers have taken up their abode in
the new dam, which probably will
yield them desirable winter quarters.
