result of the United States request
for the removal of Captains Boyd

attaches respectively of the kaiser's

French loan may have studied the
Cooke methods. The governments
"fve-twenty" loan was authorized In
February. 1862. 1t remained on the
market nearly year without success,
despite various efforts Of Secretary
Chase to negotiate It, He solicited
offers In New York. but the condition
Of the money market at the time was
such that most Of the bids were at q
considerable discount below par. In
fact, there was not sufficient currency
in New York to absorb the loan rapid
ly enough to supply the wants Of the
government.
It became evident that II the loan
were to be taken 1t would be only
through populsrizing 1t. by seeking
purchasers among the masses OF the
people in all parts Of the country. and
no longer merely upon the capital ac-
cumulated in the money centers.
How was this to be done? The treas
ury department was not adapted to
the management Of business of that
character. There were no officers
who could be charged with the under.
taking. All the bureaus were over
crowded with overworked employees
Besides. the laws regulating the re-
ceipts and disbursements OF public
moneys presented insupereble barriers
to direct negotiation of the loan be.
tween the treasury department and
the people.
When these difficulties became OBJ.

Jay Cooke Of Philadelphia. head Of
the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co.,
as special agent for the treasury de-
partment in disposing OF the bonds.
Mr.. Cooke attacked the work with
vigor and enthusiasm. Under his man.
agement there was organized q vast
machinery that resulted in the enlist
ing Of every bank and banker and al
most every newspaper in the northern
states in advocating the loan. He con-
Quoted a publicity campaign which up
to that time was probably without q
parallel.
The bonds were issued in denomina-
tons Of $50, 500, $500 and 81 900, and
1t was estimated that at least three
million persons subscribed for the
loan in amounts ranging from $50 to
sums in six figures.
The Cooke advertisements were
spirited and confident, rejecting the
vigorous character Of the man who
wrote them. He kept the loan before
the people constantly.
His newspaper "broadsides" were
characterized by both originality and
ingenuity. One Of his most effective
efforts in the line Of publicity ap-
peared as kind of farmers and me-

Usefulness of Gardens.

A writer in the Southern Woman's
Magazine calls gardens the solution
for misspent leisure in childhood"
There is great economic truth" she
says. "at the bottom of the garden
movement, and its value has been rec
ognized long ago in European coun-
tries. which have brought about differ
ent foras of development. Austria es-
tablished experimental gardens in its
rural schools as far back as 1869.
Switzerland, Germany and England
have a garden course in their public
schools. while France goes farther and
maintains not only flower and vege-
table gardens, but includes orchards,
forestry and bee industry. The garden
movement is of special significance in
cities where large numbers of children
are turned out on the streets to loiter,
tease and maraud. When the welfare
workers and educators fully realize the
far-reaching value of this movement it
will spread like wildfre over the eoun-
try.
Il is remarked that the school gar
den movement in this country had its
beginning in Boston. but that Cleve-
lands school board has given it per.
haps the greatest impetus. AS the re-
suit of it there are said to be $4,000

reeted to name a city man:ger, who
is to serve for an indefinite time,
and canno. be removed except upon
written charges. and must be given
a chance to defend himself All city

The commission Is to have nothing
to do but pass ordinances for the gov
eminent ef the city. and the city man.
