Since the 30th o! last June, the deficit ot the United States treas ury has grown at the rate of about $5,500^00 per day. Uncle Sam is very rich but he cannot stand a drain like that for long. Mr. Hoover's economy program ought to begin functioning. Alfred A. Taylor, 83, far-famed Tennessecan, died yesterday, ile had been Governor of his State and a Representative in Congress. More than forty years ago he was de feated for Governor by his brother, Robert L. Taylor, Democrat but lat er became chief executive of his State. Robert later became Unhed States Senator and died a number of years ago. Both were distingu ished citizens and attracted nation al attention, much on account of dif fering in political affiliations and being nominated by tliir parties as ; opposing candidates for the same office. I The result of an election held in the lfth Congressional District, Texas, Tuesday, makes sure that the Democrats will organize Con gress when it convenes on Decem ber 7th. The only Republican Con gressman from Texas. Henry M. Wurzbach, who was serving his six th term, died a few weeks ago and this was a special election to fill the vacancy. Richard M.

RED CROSS RELIEF IN 79 DISASTERS IN YEAR Forest Fires, Plaques, Storms, | Earthquakes, as Well as Drought, Call for Help. ! The forest fires which have rafted In Idaho and other western sections this year have presented s serious dis aster?one of a number. In addition to the enormous drought relief problem, which have been met by the American Had Cross relief forces. Suffering, faith and courage art contained In e story coming from the Priest River section In Idaho, told by a Volunteer Red Cross irorker as fol lows: "Picture a happy little homestead near the banks of Priest river In northern Idaho. While father, with a little son tagging at his heels. Is out tending crops and adding to the clear ing, mother la at borne making prepa rations for another arrival. Then comes the fire demon, sweeping all In Its path. While father fights to pro tect his little home, the stork an nounces Its arrival. "Uother and baby are bundled In a quilt and loaded on a truck for the race through the flaming forest. Father drives the truck and the little boy sits at his mother's side, brushing away the sparks which fall like rain upon the Improvised litter." To the Red Cross worker, the mother expressed her anxiety to return to the hills to rehabilitate the little home stead. All they possessed was lost In the forest fires. The Red Cross aided all of the families and Is working to help them rebuild their homes. Altogether seventy-nine disasters called for Red Cross help and money during the year just closed. Aside from the drought, which required ser vices of volunteer workers numbering more than 60,000, and a drought relief fu..d of more than 115.000.000 of which $6,000,000 came from the national Red Cross treasury, help was given to K fires, It tornadoes, eight storms and eight floods, six forest fires, four earthquakes and four mine explosions, three typhoons and three epidemics, two cloudbursts, and one each hurri cane, mine cave-In and railroad acci dent Aside from a major catastrophe, such as ths drought when the whole public was asked to contribute funds for relief. Red Cross relief In these disasters was met from the organise tlon'a funds sad from special local eon tribe tloas.

A paper read before Graham Garden Club by Mrs. M. E. Yount. God created a world of potential beauty. Growing plants need sun shine, ajr, moisture, and cultivation. God supplies throe-fourths of thes needs, man must furnish the one fourth Last Spring when Nature began her Annual unfoldment and our Gar dens were so far behind in the dis play of the beauties of Spring, we faithfully vowed that next year our gardens would be a mass of early beauty. We remember the glorious billows of Daffodils we pictured in the border and the gay splashes of color next spring that we planned for the Tulip bed. If we are to have all the color next spring that we planned there is a busy time just ahead of us. The world is full of color today as perhaps never before. Artists splash It recklessly upon their can vases, workers in applied design use it lavishly. We are color thirs ty and may be in danger of becom ing a little drunk with our new lib erty, out gardens are going to be distinctly the yatners. We Shall have contrast as well as harmony, richness and brilliance as well as delicacy and refinement, and all used .with a light touch of freedom from rule of thumb method tha,t should make our gardens more liv able and interesting than they have ever been before. Colors seem stronger and more vivid after winter's snow and mud. The fall is the time to mix the pig ments that are to Bplash color into the garden next Spring There is no temporizing with the question of planting for Spring bloom. Whatever [bursts into color In April must be packed into the ground in September or October. Color is accent. The spring gar den ablaze with blossoms can be one of the most beautiful garden pictures of the year. One of the most welcome for it is the first in the seasonal cycle, and here is a interesting thought: because the spring bulbs will come up, bloom., gift out of the way for the later blooming perennials, you can have an entirely different set of accents in the color plan of your spring garden than you will have when the Peonies, Phlox, and later Iris are blooming. In other words, if you will plan your color accent j figure out whrro you want the ac cents in this spring display, you may so vary your garden color splashes from what will come later in the season that you will have different rhythm in your garden, almost another expression of the design idea Pall planting time Is here. With in a short time all plants will be | come practically dormant and plant i ing should go forward immediately, i There are many things to br plant ed at once that they may become established before cold weather ar rive* I | "In autumn I tuck all my bulba to bed. Little brown aleepy bulbs; In spring each thrusts up A gay greeting head | Prom beneath the white counter pane winter has spread over their tiny toes. Tell me, who was it that said Magic is dead?" Magic will come when the buds swell. Spring spirit will (come rac ing into your garden, will dance through the Daffodils, and wtll swoop and swirl In mad spring | quadrille through the stately maBS iw of Tulips. Narcissus so important in every spring garden, should go In as soon as possible but Tulips can wait a few weeks. Dutch Crocus will do much better if planted early and Madonna Lillles should be put in at once. At this time, too, practically all perennials which have finished blooming may be transplanted and that means this is an ideal time to make over perennial borders or ?tart new ones. It is a mistaken idea that a perennial border is a really permanent planting. Com paratively few kinds can be left undisturbed more than a few years. Peoniss, Ovpsophila, and Dictamnua are among the most permanent and once properly planted are generallj best left alone, but practically everything else in our borders will benefit by occasional taking up, di viding, and resetting. % Phlox, Iri% Valeriana, Helianthus. Lobelia, and Astllhe will give the best results if divided and reset at least e >ry third year and fall is the beet time to do this. They wdl |then be st|e to start growth vig ? N ' ;? ?>' > i' - <?'

Peonies are among the most im portant perennials to plant now, and thia is. Indeed, the only safe time to plant them. Spring planting, un less under exceptional circumstune ee, la never to be recommended. The moat important consideration in Peony planting is that they ahall have perfect drainage and sunlijhl a,t (east a good portion of the day; that the roots be planted at the proper depth with the eyes or buds two and1 a half to three inches >e low the surface and that no manure ue in the soil adjacent to the roots Delphinium pnay be planted now / and in revamping your borders the old clumps can be taken up and di vided. Delphiniums are vigorous growers and rank feeders. If not dujf and reset occasionally the qual ity of bloom deteriorates. This may be done cither in the fall or spring belt it done now the plants will be able torproduce a better quality of bloom. Make the soil quite rich where you plant Delphinium, and well drained.
