The following article was read at
a recent Garden club meeting:

New 1887 ANIMALS.
Every year new ANIMALS are de-
veloped, but all these new varieties
of plants do not always come up to
expectations Some are not suffi-
GENTLY fixed; that is, after blossom
ing for a season they may change,
or even revert to the original type.
To guard against these unstable va
rieties being sold, group of seeds
men has been selected to test and
rate the new plants This is the All
American Sele ion Committee
which each year conducts trials of
the new ANIMALS.
The Marigolds are probably the
most outstanding new group this
year. Crown of Gold scored first
place by the Selection committee.
This new Marigold is absolutely odor-
less, as the oil sacs which produce
the characteristic Marigold odor do
not exist in the new variety. In form
it is the "collarette," with a chry-
santhemum type center surrounded

duces medium size flowers on long
stems from plants about 21a feet
high It flowers unusually early.
Another new variety is Yellow Su-
preme, which also has no odor. The
flowers are large, fluffy and lemon
yellow. However, the plant has a
tendency to become top-heavy, and
must be staked. Mrs. Lippincott is

Garden Thoughts.

It's not the gardens golden-glows,
It's not the fragrance of the flowers,
Nor nested birdling's muted song
Which bring me gifts of happy hours.
It's the feeling that the soil,
The touch of leaf and pleasant toll
Within a garden always bring
A friendliness toward growing things.

Several memorials to the late Gov
ernor Floyd B. Olson are pending
in the Legislature. A bill introduced
this week would rename State High
way No. SIS, running out of Mime
apolis, Floyd B. Olson Memorial
Highway. Others, introduced ear
lier in the session, would make the
late Governors birthday-November
ia state holiday and would re-
name certain streets in the Twin
Cities in his honor.
The eyes of the nation are on Min
nesota, watching its experiments in
such movements as labor, cooper
atives, peace and farm groups all
working together, instead of in isola-
ton as in other parts of the country,
according to DR.. Harry w. Ladder,
noted economist and author who is in
the Twin Cities this month lecturing
and studying the Farmer-Labor
movement. He predicts that the c.
l. o. growth in auto and steel may
provide a basis for the formation
of a national Farmer-LabOr party
in 1910.
The cause of liberalism in the
northwest was dealt severe blow
last week when c. c. Talbot, state
president of the North Dakota Farm
ers Union, died as result of auto
injuries. Talbot had been active
in farmers movements for many
years, and to many progressives in
the state of Minnesota, as elsewhere,
his death will be personal loss.

Farmers in the drouth area may
have no more money in their over
all pockets than year ago, but, ac-
cording to figures released by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, there was a rise of 20 per
cent in farmers income over the en-
tire Northwest during January and
February of this year as compared
with the first two months of 1886.
Most of the gain in Minnesota went
to farmers in the southeastern part
of the state and in areas where crops
were good.

A definite move is on foot on the
part of the reactionaries in the state
Senate to boost the 1887 real estate
taxes payable in 1888 as much as
possible in order to blame the Farm
er-Labor administration for a high
real estate tax rate.
This scheme was obvious in in
sistence on the part of the Senate
majority that ST. 100000 of the emer-
gency relief appropriation be paid
out of the 1887 taxes and 100000
out of the 1888 taxes.
The strategy is simple: The high
er the taxes on real property in 1888
the more likely the people will be
to listen to the economy" nostrums
of the Republican party The, fact
that they themselves will be respon-
sible for this tax rate, they figure
will be lost sight of.
In the meantime, it will be in
teresting to see how the Senate con-
servatives will react to the bill passed
by the House giving exemption on
the $4,000 valuation on all city homes
and farms. Already, opposition to
this tax relief measure for home
owners and farmers is observable

Appointment of four regents of

hangs in the balance, as the Senate
has thus far ignored the request of

choose the regents. 1t may be left
up to Governor Benson to make the
appointments after the close of the
session, if the Legislature fails to
act.

STRAUS PLEDGES
Best Effort to Get Decent
Homes Built

Washington, d. C. ILNS) my
own job is to get the slums raised
and get decent homes built. It's a
job that calls for action and very lit
tie talk"
In those two sentences, Nathan
Straus, beginning his new job as ad-
ministrator of the federal housing
authority, reused high hopes that in
spite of the handieaps of the bill as
passed, he will get results. He added
to this hope by a few words which
are more than 1000 years old:
'Let not him that girdeth on his
harness boast himself, but he that
putteth it off," (I Kings, 20:l1.)
In other words, do your Dragging
after you've done your work, not be-
fore.
Praises President and Wagner
II am happy" he said, ito be en-
| listed for service under President
Roosevelt and Senator Wagner, who
are leading America to better way
of life.
Long familiarity with injustice or
human misery breeds callous indiffer-
once to it. We come to tolerate condi-
tions that should arouse our indigna-
tion and shock us into action. That is
the case with the slums.
1T is to the eternal credit of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Senator Wagner
that they have awakened the Ameri-
can people from complacenta acceptance
of the blight of the slums."
To Lay Out Policy Plan
His first task, he said is to lay out
a broad plan of policy to be followed
He will consult with Senator Wag-
ner, Secretary Ickes, Howard A. Gray
director of the PWA housing division
and also and especially with loca
housing authorities. He made it cleai
that he will work with the PWA
staff, which avoids both persona
!, quarrels and the period of breaking
in another staff
Mr.. Straus is confident that ade
quate housing projects can be bull
under the limitation of the presen
act, 81 $50 a room. His own Hillsid
project in the Bronx was built at
cost Of $1,045 room.

THE RANK AND FILE OUGHT
TO TELL THE LEADERS WHAT
RANK AND FILERS THINK.

The leaders think they know-and
they are sincere about that, too.
Maybe they do know But make
sure they know. Tell them. Plainly.
If the membership wants war the
leaders will give them plenty.
If the membership wants peace they
stand a better chance to get it,
if they say they want peace.
Leaders aren't mind readers. News
sifts UP to them-not always accur-
rately. Be sure.
Watching the maneuvers you car
see that there's a certain amount OF
face saving going on. That's working
out as predicted. 1t has to be.
That's all well enough, as long as
face saving doesn't cloud the rea
issue
When it starts clouding the issue
that's time to talk up and get tht
issue straight.
So, va want peace, do va? Well
come and get it.
Meanwhile union membership i
growing, by some miracle.
And a special session of congress
has been called and one of the mail
things on the calendar is a wages an
hours bill, upon which labor is any
thing but agreed.
The queer thing about that is
that while labor tries to find out
where it stands, someone else
may slip in and fix the whole
thing up into a nice little sur
prize package. 1t has been done
before.
The brain trusters aren't going
run away and hide just because they
We been cuffed around bit Nc
that breed of cats.
It's no breach of discipline to res
ister your opinion. It's just darne
good democracy. Help your leat
ers to know what you want.
The best way to promote autocrac
-one man rule-is to keep still ar
never say what you think or what yc
, are going to do and you'll do it-ar
like it.
1t all gets back to the old Shake
E pearean adage-put up or shut VI
Or, speak up or shut up.

" Where with our

Wasn't there just little of that

There's so much hush-hush about

Nathan Straus Heads
Housing Authority

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Presi-
dent Roosevelt has appointed Nathan
Straus, of New York, to be admins
traitor of the United States Housing
Authority, and direct the expenditure
of the $526,o00,000 set aside for a
low cost housing program, new on
this side of the water; but old and
considered indispensable in many Eu-
ropean countries.
Mr.. Straus is 38 years old, son of
one of the best known philanthropists
also Nathan Straus. Straus the
younger enlisted in the u. S. Navy in
1917, and saw some war service. He
