In order that the development of
K street be not impeded, Right Rev.
Bishop keane has consented to the
sale OF the episcopal residence, locat-
ed ON the northwest corner of 18th
street, in Sacramento, Calf. 1t is also
said that the site of the Christian
Brothers school, on the opposite cor

Bishop Keane feels that it should
not be the part of the Church to i'm
pede advancement in this way, and
his consent was readily granted for
the sale of both pieces when it was
placed before him in the proper light.

 But here was one he had not read about. Somehow it must have escaped him.
 Its not out yet, is it7" he asked. "Yes," the little old lady answered.
 Well, it couldn't have been out very long, don't believe" he added. Tt all depends upon what you call long," she had answered amusedly. 1t has been out about thousand or two thousand years, that's all," she added.
 She had told me this story with genuine relish, but afterward she had been glad she had not been able to buy the Apocrypha then. She found she really could not afford it; she could afford nothing to speak of, at the present time. And Easter was coming along, too, the time when she wanted always to make some special contribution-some little act of de- nial.
 She was very frail little old lady, and very obviously of that strata of society known as the "genteel poor.'
 Always l had been fascinated by little gold chain she wore. From 1t dangled quaint charm. There was little chair made out of coral, and gold water jug, the top of which could be taken off. and locket made like little purse, and an American gold dollar.

You know my gold dollar on this chain? I've had 1t since I was a little girl" She went over that time again, told me how her father had given 1t to her. just small homely kind of story Then she went on:

It would take two or three columns of this newspaper merely to print a list of the organizations and associations that are here to keep congress mindful of their interests.
 In this great clamor the common public interest is likely to be sub merged. In fact, too often it has been submerged This matter of economies and reorganizing the business of the government and taking up the tedious details of administration is dull busi. ness. It has been neglected and put off time after time because of lack of public interest and driving force behind 1t.
 If you will supply this driving force now and display sustained interest. you can at least put the business of government of the United States on an efficient basis. Congress has been negligent because you have been negli- gent. but now at last the thing has run along so far that something must be done about it.

XY. BUDGET SYSTEM A START

The remedy is already being applied to remove some ot the conditions I have described A budget plan has been put into effect. 4 director of the budget, in the person of Gen. Charles G. Dawes, has been appointed to of- i flee. General Dawes is at work now 1 trying to find out in detail where the money comes from which you pay to run the government and where 1t goes and how properly to apportion 1t among the spending agencies of the l government. He is just at the begin ming of his big task, but the work has begun. That is the important thing.
 The budget and accounting act pro- vides for the presentation by the President of a regular and alternative budget of the United States to congress on the first Monday in December, 1921, covering the fiscal year ending June i 29. 1923.
 Recognizing in the budget machinery created by this law an agency through which executive policy and pressure i involving better business administra- tion could be exerted, Mir Harding assembled on June %, 1921, for the first time, the heads of departments and independent organizations and bu- reau chiefs, and after announcing a government policy of economy and ef- ficiency, directed that an immediate attempt with the budget machinery be made to reduce expenditures under the appropriations of the current year end ing June 30, 1922

HOMEGROWN EASTER LILIES
States Department of Agriculture Have Been Successful.

When 1t first became known that ex- periments in raising Easter lilies from seed were being carried on by the De partment of Agriculture few florists were prepared to believe that the undertaking possessed any commercial value beyond the possibilities of pro- ducing new hybrids. The results of these experiments, which have now been carried on for four years, indi- cate, the department specialists be lieve, that this country can develop an important industry.
 On the Arlington experimental farm, which is just across the Potomac river from Washington, department special ists produce the lily seeds in green houses by artificial pollination. These seed are planted about January l. pricked out into small pots, and in May the young plants are set in the open ground. They develop rapidly, and by July or August some of the plants reach sufficient size to bear blooms. In October or November the

various reasons, including possible new legislation, the operations of the shipping board, the railroad adminis- tration, and fiuetuation in current re- cejpts of the postoftice department, cannot be predicated at this time, the above amount is that much of con tribution to q more favorable relation.
 "This fine response to your request from the heads of the departments and independent organizations and bu- reau chiefs, incidental to your assump- tion of responsibility as the business head of governmental administration, infers the existence in their minds of three principles involving improve ment in governmental business which should not be overlooked.
 First, that the business organiza- ton of government hereafter assumes that the minimum amount of money to be expended in any fiscal year Is not, of necessity, the sum appropri- ated in advance by congress, but the smallest amount upon which the busi- ness of the government can be eff ciently administered under the pro-
 gram outlined by congress.
 Second, that the minds of the busi-
 ness administrators of government have been diverted from a too easy
 reliance upon the custom of deficiency appropriations.
 Third, that where congress has di- rected the expenditure of certain sums | for specific purposes, an executive
 pressure will now be exerted for moro l efficient and economical administration l in order to produce greater result from 1 the given expenditure. and also wher- l ever possible, to complete the given project for less amount than the
 total appropriated for the purpose"
 The budget system was established | because of an acute public interest in | the expenditures of government, ac- lively and continuously displayed by
 the tax payers. It was established in response to public demand. The house of representatives has changed
 its way of appropriating money to con-
 form to the budget system. It has
 only one great appropriation commit
 tee which authorizes all the expendi- | lures for the house. The senate has
 not followed suit. If this newly in-
 stalled budget system is to be & sue
 cess it must have your active support
 and understanding and derive an added
 authority from your approval and sup port.

Since her husband had died and had left her very poorly of the cynical relations had wondered what had made her ever marry him in the first place. And some of them had said that doubt less she had had her eyes shut when she took him.
 But such was not the case. She had always been very happy despite her poverty. They had been generous even with their little, and the relatives who were hopeful that the jewels she possessed would later realize them something had said that fools and their money were soon spotted.

The stems are of good length, carrying the orange and crimson flow CTS well, while the cut flowers keep fresh for a long time when placed in water. The perennial types are often preferred.
 Plants Need Sun and Air.
 The annual gaillardias are all propa- gated readily from seeds sown where they are to grow soon after freezing weather is past. although they can be started under glass and be transplant ed to their permanent location as soon as killing frosts have passed. In eithex case, the blooming plants should not stand closer together than 10 to 12 inches. They grow and bloom best when fully exposed to sun and air and when planted on q fertile but light and well-drained soil.
 Among various pleasing flowers one may choose from stock, calendula. candytuft, alyssum, phlox drum mondii, petunias, ageratum, verbena, dahlias and gladiolus. Each gardener will have personal preferences easy to satisfy with the long list suitable for cutting when iu bloom.

When placed in wa ter after cutting, the flowers increase in size The seeds of these annuals should he sown in the fall or in the spring from the time the ground is fit to work until the last of May in the North and the last of June tn the South.

The flowers, which vary from white through rose, crimson and blue to al most black, are borne on long stems ard keep long time either on the plant or when cut. The seed should be sown in the open ground after dan ger from hard frost is past and the plants will bloom in about P weeks. There are also hardy perennial kinds.
 The Popular Zinnia.
 The home garden is not complete without zinnias, sometimes called s'youth-aud-old-age." They are easily grown from seed sown in the open ground. When sown as soon as the ground is fit to work, the plants will bloom abundantly and continuously through the entire season. Of late great improvements have been wrought both in the color and form of the flower. Their colors are white, yellow, orspge. pink, rose and scarlet. During fhe Month of August zinnias are at their be4 4t.
