SPENDING THE
PEOPLES MONEY

President Taft instead of staying
at home and attending to the buiness
for which the people elected him,
has developed into a great traveller
at the expense of the taxpayers
almost as much as a great butcher
who has forsook his slaughter house
for short time and is now talking
to the people of Europe on uni
versal peace" (spare the word) and
doing all this as he conducted his
African butcher shop at the expense
of the people of the United States.
That Taft would keep up his record
as a great traveller is shown from
the fact that his travelling expenses
for the fisca year will be far in
excess of the $4,000 which con-
gress placed at his disposal for that
purpose. This somewhat interest
ing fact is disclosed in the sundry
civil appropriation bill, which car
res appropriations for the executive
mansion and the other expenses of
the president.
In submitting estimates for the
White house for the fiscal year 1911
the presidents office included the
$4,000 for travelling expenses and
added the request that the ap-
preparation be made Immediately
available. Ordinarily the appropri-
alton could not be touched until
the first of July and the fact that
the president desires authority to
draw upon another $25, 200 before
this fiscal year is brought to close
is regarded by members of the ap-
preparation committee as evidence
that the fund which was supposed
to last until July / has been ex-
hausted. When the presidents
salary was increased to SIS, 900 a
year at the special session of Con-
gress determined effort was made
to wipe out the $3.50 a year for
travelling expenses which was made
available during the last year
President Roosevelt was in office.
This effort failed however. The
current appropriation was not
made available until considerably
less than a year ago. For that
reason Democratic members of the
house are planning to attack the
provision in the sundry civil bill
making the appropriation for the
fiscal year 1911 Immediately avail
able. 1t will be pointed out that
the clear intention Of Congress was
to appropriate only $25, 900 year
for the presidents travelling ex-
penses and to make the new ap-
preparation Immediately available
would be an evasion of the law.
President Taft's fondness for
travelling is proving expensive in
another direction. Chief Wilkie
of the secret service testified before

PREPARING A GAMMA BED

AS the Gamma is a deep rooted plant,
the bed should be dug deep. 1t is also
important to provide plenty of plant
food. Three inches of well rotted ma
nure spaded into the soil is not too
much. Do not elevate the center of
the bed but leave it level so water
will not run OFF,
If the bed is to contain several vari-
cites of cannas much care should be
given to the selection of varieties. If
the bed is to be viewed from an sides,
put the taller varities in the center
and use the shorter kinds for the bor-
der rows. Your florist can give ad-
vice about varieties best suited for
your purpose.
Do not plant too many varieties.
Unless it is an exceptionally large bed
two or three will be better than more.
For small beds of dozen to IS plant
it is good taste to use some other plant
for a border. If tall growing cannas
are used, the fountain grass is unsur-
passed, and for dwarf kinds such plants
as coleus dwarf salvias and Dusty Mil
Ter are serviceable.
AS cannas are subtropical they
thrive only in the warm months and
should be planted only when the sea

New Home for Club.-At the annual
meeting of the Moline club member
ship the president of the club was in
structed by motion which was passed
unanimously to name a committee of
seven members with power to act in
the matter of purchasing a suitable
property for club home. No definite
plan has been adopted in regard to
financing the proposition, but in view
OF the present excellent financial con-
ditlon OF the organization and bright
future, this will not prove a hard prob
lem. If a suitable property can be Sc
cured, the committee will probably
purchase the same and a holding COM
pany will be organized within the club
to take over the property. Several
sites are available which have been
placed on the market from $4,000 up
to $4,000. The following are the new
officers of the club: President, A. T.
