when / was in Grand Rapids that
Cummins sentiment was strong in
Michigan" declared Mr.. Atkinson.
This man, who is in close touch with
Michigan politics. expressed 1t as his
judgment that Senator Cummins, Of
Iowa, has as good a chance If not bet
ter to secure the Republican nomina-
ton for president as any man who has
been mentioned thus far He said that
Senator Smith. of Michigan. was being
mentioned and clubs are being formed
IN that state to support him. At the
same time the Michigan man personally
thought Senator Cummins would re-
ceive a great deal of Michigan support.
Il have recently received a letter
from North Dakota which assures me
that Senator Cummins will undoubt-
eddy receive the North Dakota vote
Senator Cummins is also strong in
indiana is the statement of George Gal
iarno. chief clerk of the municipal ac-
counting department in the state audi
tors office, who recently attended a
convention of municipal officers in

Turnout the state the estimate OF

Mandelbaum. "AlI of this money is yet

 It is one of the hardest things l know of to make an enthusiastic anna teur plant grower satisfied to let well enough alone" She is constantly wanting to urge her pets on little faster, and in her efforts to do this she gives them more food than they can digest. and the consequence is a breakdown from overstimulation nine times out of ten.
 A plant that does not get as much food as it can make good use of, will give vastly greater satisfaction in the long run, than the plant that gets so much food that it doesn't know what to do with it.
 Some persons are under the impress sion that all plants for winter use must be young ones. Such is not the case, however. Year-old plants, as a gen eral thing. are much preferable to the young ones.
 There are exceptions as in the case of Chinese primroses, Primula obconi- ca and others of a habit similar. in some respects to our annuals: but for the majority of plants adapted to house culture like geraniums, helio- tropes. begonias. abutilons, asparagus in variety and carnations, older plants should always be chosen.
 This summer I start the geraniums which intend to depend upon for win winter. These will bloom some this winter if l let them, but I shall hold them in check to a great extent for future service.
 The person who breaches young plants for winter Towering" to you does not take into consideration the fact that plant started this season from cutting will have but few branches by winter, and a plant that has but few branches cannot give many flowers because ample towering surface means many branches.
 Therefore, instead of letting the ge- raniums you start this summer blos- som in the winter, keep pinehing them back to produce sufficient number of branches to give the desired amount of towering surface.
 The more branches there are the more flowers you may expect.
