chairman of the committee on the
library, was given new impetus to-
day through the support of George
w. Hess, director of the Botanic
Garden.
II am heartily in favor Of this
legislation and will do all I can to
have it passed and to help in the
creation of a great national arbore-
tum," said Mr.. Hess. II believe this
Government has been recreant in not
having done this long ago. We
should have national arboretum

world and IT should be established

conditions are more favorable than
anywhere else for growing the wide
range of trees and shrubs that such
an institution should include.

TAKOMA CITIZENS
TO WORK IN UNITY
Officials of Two Associations
Exchange Greetings-0f-

Greetings were exchanged between
newly elected presidents Of the two
citizens associations in Takoma Park,

old association. chairmen Of standing

Park Citizens Association last night
in the Takoma Park public library.
Harmony prevailed. Some discus
sion followed the presentation of a
motion by Homer Skells that it is
the sentiment of this meeting that
membership be limited to residents
OF the District of Columbia" The
motion, which it was ruled could not
be construed as being an amendment
to the constitution, but could be
voted on as expressing sentiment, was
voted down.
. The meeting was called to order at
o'clock by the retiring president,
Walter Trey, who made his farewell
address.

and would be one of the best pos
sible developments in connection
with the park system designed to
entirely surround the Nations Cap
ital."
This pledge OF support is espe-
ciaiiy significant. as 1t was feared by
some or the legislators, Government
omcials and civic leaders who are
supporting the arboretum project that
the directors of the Botanic Garden
might oppose 1T as an infringement
on the Botanic Garden, since early
plans had provided for moving the
Botanic Garden to the Mount HamiI-
ton tract.
The action of Congress, however, in
providing funds for development of
the Botanic Garden in it's present
location and in making available
certain tracts Of land for extension
Of the garden south of the Capitol
to the river has definitely determined

that the, Botanic Garden will be un-
disturbed.
Extension Will Add Beauty.
The extension of the Botanic
Garden to occupy the large vacant
area south of the Capitol will
beautify section of the city that
is now an eyesore. It links in with
the parkway system and provides an
arterial highway from, the river on
the south to the Soldiers Home
grounds on the north.
The support Of Mr.. Hess Is well
coined by advocates of the arbore-
tum legislation, because 1t is recog-
nized that many members Of Congress
depend upon his expert advice for
guidance in voting upon such mat
ters. and that, therefore, he will have
strong influence in helping to put
through this proposal.
Probably no man In the entire Fed
eral service has made closer study

lndorse Original Budget.

AS climax to the conference the
representatives adopted unanimously
a. resolution introduced by Ernest H.
Pullman, president of the Manor Park
G1tizens' Association, indorsing the
boards original budget for $12,500,-
900. As 1t was sent to Congress by
the budget bureau, the school esti-
mates call for an appropriation of
~, 250,OO0-a reduction of s3,250, 900.
At the outset of the conference, DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent of
schools, outlined in detail the various
Items included in the boards original
estimates, indicating the reductions
made by the Commissioners and the
Budget Bureau. The superintendent
showed that the greatest cut had
been made in the school building pro-
gram, and that the appropriation for
beginning the construction of the
proposed new Mckinley Technical
High School had been eliminated en-
tirely although the site has been ac-
quired and the plans drawn.
Ninety-four additional teachers
were asked for in the original budget,
DR.. Ballou said, and the Budget Bu-
reau allowed 60. OF the 10 additional
clerks requested, six were allowed.

SLASHES IN SCHOOL

District Leaders Say Treat.
ment of D. c. Education
Borders on Criminal.

Consistent slashing of the school
budget in the face of ever-accumu-
lating needs was scored as false econ
omy by representatives of. the Dis
trict's civic and trade organizations
a their annual joint conference with
the Board of Education last night in
the Franklin School. Conditions in
the schools as a direct result of the
retrenchment policy were described
as bordering on criminal negli-
gence."
Ernest Greenwood, vice president Of
the school board; Arthur f. Seymour,
secretary of the Washington Cham
Der of Commerce, and A. NJ. Holcombe
OF the Columbia Heights Citizens AS
ISOLATION were the most bitter in their
denunciation of those responsible for
the insufficient appropriations grant
ed each year for the maintenance and
operation of the public educational
system.
Mr.. Greenwood pointed out that the
school plant is deteriorating very
rapidly" on the niggardly appropria-
tons provided for its upkeep. The
original school budget carried an
item of 100000 for the repair of
buildings and grounds. he said, and
the Bureau of the Budget saw fit to
lop off S125,000. AS the school plant
IS valued at 100000 he explained
that depreciation OF per cent a
year would call for an APPROXIMATION
OF 100000. Mr.. Holcombe added that
the most conservative real estate as
SCISSOR would allow 5 per cent for de-
probation, and urged the civic bodies
10 unite in fighting for a larger ap-
preparation for the repair of buildings
and grounds.
Various ways and means for Sc
curing adequate appropriations for
the school system were discussed. and
some Of the representatives took adj
vantage of the opportunity to de-
plore conditions in the schools in
the communities represented by their
organizations. Others asked the
board when Improvements would be
made at certain schools and were
answered with a bewildered facial
expression.

PRISONERS ON
STRIKE, REFUSE
TO PEEL SPUDS

Minot, N. D., Oct. s.-Prisoners in
the county Jail who on Saturday
staged "strike," refusing to peel
potatoes which were to be furnished
them at dinner, changed their minds
within few hours after orders had
been given that those men participat-
ing in the strike should not be fur
nished with any of these vegetables.
Deputy Sheriff w. E. Slaubaugh
lined the prisoners up when the din
ner was announced, and those par
ticipating in the strike were not fur
nished with potatoes, while the men,
bers of the jail crew who are work
ing at hard labor were given q gen.
erous quantity.
The same afternoon the strikers"
announced their willingness to again
peel potatoes, providing they would
be given a regular ration.

Burleigh County Independents to-
day took the field with an organiza-
tion for intensive work in the fall
campaign, following a meeting last
night Of rs workers.
1t was decided to support the fu-
sion ticket, including the legisla-

Christ Bertsch Jr., Democrat, for
state senator; J. NJ. Tho<2son, Re-
publican, and Mrs. Robina Moses
and H. p. Asselstine on the Demo-

action is taken by the committee on
state superintendent of public in
struction of supreme court judge.
Declarations were made by speak
ers to the effect that the June prim-
airy was lost by Independents be-
cause of failure of over-confidence
of anti-leaguers who failed to vote,
and it was urged that there has been
q revival of fighting spirit among
Independents which makes possible
the winning Of the November cleo
tion, with good organization.
Among those who addressed the
gathering were George Shafer, cam
didate for Attorney General; D. E.
Shipley, candidate for Secretary Of
State; r. B. Murphy, Democratic
national committeeman, and the
legislative candidates.
J. NJ. Thompson, the first legis-
lative candidate called on, declared
the League program was the same
as it was five or six years ago, and
that extension of state industrialism
as advocated by the League means
high taxes. Others expressed en-
thusiasm and declared the chances
of victory on November are excel
lent. Chairman Sperry asserted the
meeting last night was the largest
organization meeting in three years.
Lynn Sperry was named chairman
and H. S. Dobler secretary of the

THRESHING IS
AGAIN HALTED
Rain Causes Suspension of
Work in County

Rain which fell last night and this
morning in Bismarck will further de-
lay threshing in this section. Per-
sons who have travelled over the
county report that more threshing
has been completed around Bismarck
and south of here, than any other
part of the county.
One local man estimated that
threshing is about 80 percent COM
plete in the northern part of the
county. Because threshing rigs have
been tied up good deal, the labor
situation has been ironed out and
there does not appear to be great
difficulty in obtaining sufficient
workers.
Threshing in many parts of the
state has been greatly impeded with
in the last week.
The downpour in Bismarck today
reached .66 of an inch at 1880 p, m.

NEW ISSUE0F
MAPS GIVEN
Highway Commission to Dis
tribute Tour Maps

North Dakota's official road maps
are proving popular with travellers.
Or at least it would seem so because
of the rapidity with which the sup
ply provided by the State Highway
Commission was exhausted. The
first edition of the map lasted two
months. Then the Commission was
forced to have another edition made
up because of the insistant demands
Of the travelling fraternity.
The new editions, just received by
the Commission were sent from the
printers in a box the capacity Of
which was just one cord, five thou
sand maps filled the box.
Hotels, garages and individuals
who have been unable to get their
supply of maps during the past week
may now secure them by writing the
Highway Commission, at Bismarck.
Only one minor change was made
on the new maps. The border-line
of the Fort Totten Indian Reserva-
tion was changed slightly to con-
form with recent change made by
the Federal government.
The new maps bear the same
route markings as the first edition,
and are printed in the same easily
distinguishable read and white. All
routes are marked in full on the
maps, in the same manner in which
the actual markings are placed on
the road side.
A new map will be prepared for
early delivery showing approximate
ly two thousand miles added to the
system, says Chief Engineer Black,
since the present map was prepared,
maybe a few minor changes in
numbering.
