 Where an exceedingly rich show of color is desired, nothing equals the Rudbeckia or golden glow" Great clumps of it will be a solid mass of the richest golden yellow for weeks. For cutting, we have few better flowers.
 This plant is so aggressive in char acter that it should have a place in the background where it can be al- lowed to spread itself.
 Dicentra is a most lovely flower, and has the special merit of being an early boomer The foliage of this plant is almost as fine as it's flowers. and the two combined make it one of the most desirable plants.
 l often wonder why the herbaceous Spireas are not more extensively grown. Certainly it is difficult to find a more exquisitively lovely flower than Spirea with it's great plumelike panieles and airy pink bloom.
 The Peony need not be given spe- cial commendation here, because only want to say that garden with out this flower is not living up to it's privileges"
 If the Iris can be given some what moist location, 1t should find place in the amateur gardeners col lection always. The German and Jap anese varieties are simply magnificent in coloring and remarkably stately in general effect when grown in large groups.
 Every collection ought to include at least a dozen of the most distinct va rieties of perennial phlox. This plant is to the outdoor garden what the geranium is to the window garden. Anyone can grow it.. It is a profuse bloomer. It comes in a wide range of colors. Group it in order to secure magenta varieties away from the pink and scarlet sorts unless you want a color discord of the most aggressive sort.
 Then there are hardy pinks, the perennial Pea, Coreopsis Lanceolata, Pyrethrum, Dairy, Achillea, all good, easily grown and readily obtainable.
 If immediate effect is desired, it will be necessary to purchase plants, but nearly all the kinds I have mentioned will bloom the second season from seeding plants.

Broad stripes in her blouses, pockets on her skirts, dashing belts in black patent leather and white kid, and novel bracelets made by strands of friendship" slides, strung on narrow velvet ribbon, are among the fads of this summers Summer girl" Added to these are her shoes in black and white or black with other colors than white, her garden dresses" of ere tonne, her odd-shaped and gayly-fow- cred sunshades and bewitching sun bonnets, or sun hats, made of cretonne and other fabrics.
 Belts are made both wide and mar TOW, and one of numberless different patterns is shown in the picture. It is made of thin black patent leather bound with white kid. Slashes cut in allow narrow bands of the kid to be slipped through them, forming white stripes on the black ground. By sim liar means many styles are created.
 The belt, in this particular instance, is worn with blouse of white wash silk made up into broad tan and white stripe. It has long sleeves witt striped cuffs and collar which turns

Fortunate the bride whose wedding equipment includes one of these lovely veils of net with widely scattered small dots and rich border of princess lace. Many of the new veils extend about to the knees, and their length is governed more by the brides taste than by a mandate of fashion. In truth, much independence is allowed the bride this year, or she has as serted her own ideas and arrayed herself and her maids in gowns long or short and cut in the styles she likes the best
 Many wedding gowns have been made this season of sheer voiles or of net trimmed with lace. One thin and lacy fabric draped over another al- most equally thin makes an airy eff feet which is liked for the brides and bridesmaids costumes. For the latter, wide net-top laces or shadow laces used for the gowns, and -brimmed picture hats with transparent brims and flower trimming appear to have compelled the choice in their favor by

ABOUT ORNAMENTAL TREES

Ornamental trees and shrubs may be pruned any time during the winter if they need it. Bear in mind that pruning should not destroy the char acteristics of growth peculiar to tree or shrub Cut back the too promi- nent branches, remove those that grow too closely together.
 If blooming shrubs are continually cut at the ends of the branches they will, in time, cease to produce flow CTS.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A
 BUREAU OF INFORMATION

The recognition by citizens gen erally that the. Biological Survey is a bureau of information as we'll as field service has gradually plac- ed upon it large burden of work as we'll as of responsibility. The amount of correspondence involved in performing this public duty may be indicated by the fact that ap- proximately 50,00O letters of in quiry were handled in the differ erent scientific branches of the Sur vey last year. The scope of these inquiries is not less noteworthy, for they range from requests for information concerning the geology of every part of the United States or the water supply, both un- derground and surface, of as wide ly separated regions as Alaska and Florida, or for engineering data on areas in every State in the Union, to inquiries regarding the natural resources of foreign counthies, es- pecially those of Central and South America.
 The changes in the worlds trade in metals and other mineral pro- ducts during the last year brought to the Geological Survey new op- portunity for special service. The inquiries concerning possible sourc es of this or that mineral product began early in August, and the Sec retary of the Interior gave to the public an interview outlining the expected developments in the min eral industry. His statement was followed by special press bulletins issued by the Survey on the more important subjects. In September, 1914, however, the demand for authoritative information had be. come so lively that a bulletin- "Our Mineral Reserves" Bulletin 599)-was quickly prepared and is sued. In this publication the whole subject of the country's ability to meet the emergency demands for minerals was summarized and the Survey offered to serve as an agent in bringing consumer and producer into touch with each other. This new function of acting as "central" to the mineral industry proved pop ular, a large volume of special cor respondence developed and grati- flying use was made of the Geolog- ical Surveys list of mineral pro ducers and of the specific infor nation in the possession of the Fed eral geologists regarding practical ly every type of mineral deposit in the country. It is believel that this correspondence has been of ma terial advantage to consumers and producer alike-the users of min eral products who were formerly dependent upon foreign sources of supply and the mine operators who have learned of new markets for their output.

AND YET THE BOARD OF COST REVIEW HAS ACTED UPON BUT TWO MINOR QUESTIONS; SCHEDULE MAPPED OUT TO SEPTEMBER BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE REAL BIG SUBJECTS; WHERE IS THE FAULT?

even refused to notify Poor Lo of the chairman's ruling, whereupon Chair
 man Fleming performed that duty himself.
 In order to appease the wrath of ''the water users member it was agreed there and then, in open ses sion, that telegram be sent to the Indian department, at Washington, to ascertain whether or not that depart ment understood that the Indian lands were to be reviewed by the board, and, if so, was it also under stood that MT. Teasdale was to ap- pear as the personal representative of the Indians.
 Quite number of telegrams have been received by the board since last Saturday. Just what they contained do not know. But Isdo know that one was delivered Tuesday in open board meeting, and, after being read by Chairman Fleming, he passed it, without comment, to MT. Baldwin and MT. Teasdale, whereupon the latter remarked:
 We will see about that tomorrow (yesterday) morning, in executiv. session"
 In view of the fact that the board locked its doors all yesterday morn ing, and the additional fact that Chair. man Fleming said they were discuss ing serious matters, among which is the question of jurisdiction over the Indian lands" I can very readily see that the Indian department said "No!" in great, big letters-eIse why all this secrecy?
 Mir. Teasdale is not a man of that type who crawls into a hole and pulls the hole in after him when he wins a victory and it would be big one, indeed, for him if he could reverse Chairman Fleming's ruling on this h. dian question. But has he? Of that have my very serious doubts.
 The question now arises-and it's serious, too-If the Indian department has definitely decided that it can ad- just all matters with the U. s. R. S.. in which the Indians are interested, without the aid of board of cost re-

 The board of cost review evidently had a warm time" yesterday, not only because Judge Holgate had gone to Phoenix the night before on U. s. R. s. business and had telegraphed a large sized hunk of Salt River. valley weather back here, but be- cause the board had it's doors locked, discussing serious matters, among which is the question of cur jurisdiction over the Indian lands," as Chairman Fleming terseiy put it.
 Putting two and two to- gether, can readily under stand the significance of Chairman Fleming'S 14-word statement.
 It will be recalled that on last Saturday, MT. Teasdale insisted upon presenting a Yuma Indian to the board of cost review in order that Ga briel (Hammond) might foot his horn to the extent of say ing that he looked upon MT. Teasdale as the personal representative" of the h. diars, and that he wanted MT. Teasdale to represent his tribe in the same capacity in which he represents the BarditeS.
 It will also be recalled that Chair man Fleming very wisely ruled that if the Indians wanted to be heard before the board that they must ap- pear through Indian Agent Odle, be- cause of the legal fact that the Yuma Indians are wards of the nation"
 Likewise it will be recalled that MT. Teasdale became very angry, and

I full week over the 30 days set by Sec retary Lane.
 I'll bet a good watermelon against pumpkin that practically all of these questions will be settled-NOT BY THE PRESENT BOARD OF COST REVIEW for the white lands of the Reservation unit California side, of the Yuma project" but by the NEW BOARD OF COST REVIEW, to be ap- pointed, and which will have full au- thority to review ALL THE LANDS OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT,
 I'll bet another watermelon that the new board wont talk itself out of ex- istence, either; but, that twill rec ommend that OVER FOUR AND A HALF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BE SAVED TO SETTLERS ON YUMA PROJECT!
 And to make it real interesting, while the gambling mania now pos sesses me, I'll bet that S0-acre orange grape fruit and date farm on the mesa against teaspoonful of silt that MT. Everett Pat Teasdale isn't on the Gew board!.
 Who'll take the bet? I play no ia vorites. Come on boys! Watermelons and silt are the real "hot stuff"l
 Gee, but what a turning over" my good friend ? the 'extinguished" maa- ager got at the hands of MT. TeasdaIe yesterday afternoon I'll ventura the assertion that his ears burned so bad. ly that he didn't sleep wink last night. It all came about thusly: Chief Clerk Stilson was instructed at MT. Teasdale's request, to produce the letter files in "the Cook case" He did so very promptly, for both he and Acting Manager Priest have reached a point in their wild and reck- less career when they have formed a real sweetheart-like fondness for the water users member. The cores pondence consisted of a dozen or more letters, beginning with a con- plaint, filed by Mr. Cook (now dead, poor fellow) to the effect that his place had been ruined by seepage- He finally filed a petition containing. the names of g unit holders bearing on the subject. The petition got to Washington, and after considerable correspondence, reached the "extin- guished manager, with direct orders for him to cause an investigation. He at once detailed Mr. Kelly, the present irrigation manager, to start the ball rolling. The first thing Kelly with the green necktie'' did was to call on these whose names were attached to the petition, and to his surprise he found good many of them were spuricIs-had not bee.s authorized. Then more letters to Washington by MT. Cook. He was persistent and prolific. Further in- vestigation developed the information that he was ''bug-house." Just about that time three of the real s'big guns"

view, WILL THE INDIANS BE TAXED ANYTHING TO COVER THE COSTS OF THE PRESENT INVESTIGATIONS?
 If not, then ALL THE COSTS WILL FALL ON THE WHITE LANDS"
 In that event, can imagine how the Bardites will feel when they learn the truth! And then when they begin tc figure that each man on the white lands" is paying one dollar per day or more as long as the board lasts. apprehend some of them, at least, will "go straight up in the air." and let out very just yell that can be heard all the way to Washington. Possibly that's the reason Secretary Lane tee graphed that he wanted the board to conclude it's laborS 30 days from July 2S, at which time MT. Teasdale re- marked that he didn't propose to be circumscribed as to time by Secretary Lane or anybody else" or words to that exact effect
 Half of Secretary Lanes "tinie limit has already passed, and what has been done? Out of all the questions that were submitted for consideration by Secretary Lane, BUT TWO have been acted upon-the placing of all Barr units on the $55 basis, instead of $66 and the S1.00 per acre per year for water, up to the time of accepting the 20-year extension act-and these two questions settled in favor of the Bard ties UPON THE ADVICE OF JUDGE HOLGATE eff the board took his ad vice), the very man Mr. Teasdale sc strenuously objects to. Funny, isn'i it?
 All the real, big questions still hang fire, because of MT. Teasdale's objec tion to the plan of procedure" out lined by Chairman Fleming a few days after the board was first organ ized. Indeed the 'plan" had to go to Washington before MT. Teasdale would touch it with forty-foot pole, " just for why have never been able to find out
 Late yesterday afternoon, however, upon the urgent recommendations of MT. Teasdale, the board adopted par tial schedule, as follows:
 Aug. 1914, seepage and drainage.

 Aug. 23-24, executive session.
