Planting Growing Bulbs
for Easter Season

Get your bulbs now for Easter grow
~ ing. First of all, have six-inch flower
pots for small bulbs and two or three
hyacinths may be placed in ten-inch
crock. Only the very best bulbs should
be purchased. A good collection should
consist of hyacinths, tulips, narcissis and
jonquis. There is no secret about this
work, but one must have each plant
produce a good network Of roots or the
blossoms will be failures.
Plant the bulbs low In the crooks. Cover
to within about one inch Of the top.
Place each crock in a saucer or one large
roots by absorption-that is, by placing
water in the saucers or sand. Never
pour water over the crowns. Place In a
COOL shaded room, where the bulbs will
not be too cold. 1t will be several weeks
before they sprout. In the meantime they
will be forming roots. Dampen the earth
only as 1t needs moisture.
Slow growth insures strong plants.
When they begin throwing forth leaves
plants too freely. and always take the
chill off the water first Boiling water
can be poured into pans holding the
bulbs, and the heat will assist all tardy
plants. After blossoms appear plant
food can be given. Ammonia water
strengthens flowers. AS these are spring

then, however. no Secretary of State has
become President except James Buchan-

did not succeed directly-not until after
three others had been elected President.
Webster and Blaine, however, came near
realizing this promotion.
Mr.. Taft is the only cabinet officer be-

has lived to be President save Gram,
who served a brief term as Secretary or
War in Johnson's cabinet. which ex-
perience, however, was no factor in his
choice as chief executive.
Two hundred and ninety-siy men have
sat in our cabinets since the government
was established. and the average cabinet
officer has served less than three years,
excepting Secretaries of State and Agri
culture. The only cabinet which remained
intact throughout, without any change

AS soon as Mr.. Wilson is inaugurated
the Senate will meet to confirm his cabi-

cred more of personal aHair or the
President than the choice Of other nigh
federal officials. his selections Will proba-
bly, be confirmed without protest Or con-
test. Senators will not feel that they
should have been consulted in the mat
ter in advance. During Jackson's trou-
bled administration, however, the Senate
refused to confirm fancy, who had been
appointed as Secretary of the Treasury
during recess of Congress and who had
meanwhile transferred the deposits of the
public revenues from the national banks
to various pet banks" as they were then
derisively called. So Jackson had to
withdraw fancy and appoint Woodbury.

The Constitution makes no mention of
the cabinet, and there are no special
qualifications for its officers prescribed
by statute. except in the case of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, who according to
law, must not be an importer There Is
also an unwritten law against the heads
of great corporations seeking government
contracts, as for armor plate. etc. A
general statute also forbids cabinet off,
GERS prosecuting claims against the
United States while in Office or for a year
after leaving office.
The portfolio of Secretary OF State is
the highest honor which Mr.. Wilson can
confer upon brother democrat, and il
this is given to Mr.. Bryan. the signifi-
canoe will be that the new President re-
CARDS himself as indebted more to the
Nebraskan than to any other party lead
err. Such an appointment in the early
days of the republic would have meant
Mr.. Wilson had selected Mr.. Bryan for
his understudy and successor. Thus when
the election of Monroe's successor was
thrown into the House, where Clay used
his influence to throw it to Quincy Ad-
ans the latter rewarded Clay by APP
pointing him his Secretary OF State.
