WHEN the exhibition of Japanese
prints in the gallery of the
Portland Art Museum closes in
the latter part of next week, there will
open an exhibit that will be of excep
tional interest to lovers of the fine arts.
The painting's are on their way from
New York, where they hare been shown
in one of that city's largest galleries.
Among them will be a large canvas by
George Bellows, "Snow Dumpers." Mr.
Bellows is one of the young Independ
ents and he tells his aims in the fol
lowing words:
"I strivo for frankness, manliness,
the particular quality of a subject
which makes it dramatic, causing ua to
bait and womKr."
"From the Bridge." by Jonas Lie,
Iso is a large and iowerful work of
this collection. The reproductions
show this ail Robert Spencer's "Silk
Hill. Among the figure pieces to be
shown are important pictures by
Charles AW Hawthorne and Robert
Henri.
The exhibition will be in Portland
nly a short time. The Museum hours
will be as usual.

Feb. . (Special.) "Short Talks
for Busy Officials" Is the title given a
aeries of -articles written by Uon 'C.
Sowers, of the State University's de
partment of commerce.
Professor Sowers, who received his
arly training while with the Bureau
of Municipal Research In New York
City, is conducting the majority of
commerce courses, under the direction
of H. B. Millur. at the university.
To dato more than 40 city officials
throuRhout the State of Oregon have
requested copies of the "Short Talks."'

needed for the ensuing year has be
come a common practice among Oregon
cities, towns and villages, with the re
sult that the guess became the tax
levy for the year, was the popular
theme running through Professor Sow
ers' first article.
This same guessing has been true of
the County Courts, according to the
professor, whose principal object Is to
help Oregon municipalities to get on

better business basis. The work is
given out by the university free of
charge.
The two facts available as a basis
for determining the levy for the com
ing year have Deen the levies made the
previous year and the balances remain
ing in the various funds," says Profes
sor Sowers. "The Council has not
known:
"(a) Whether last year's appropria
tion had been spent economically or
wisely;
"'(b) How much it cost to maintain
each of the various officials and departments;
"(c) How much of the supplies pur
chased the previous year were still on
hand;
"(d) How, much would be needed to
conduct each office or department for
the following year;
"(e) How much equipment would
have to be purchased for each .id all
departments: how-much would be need
ed for new buildings; how much new
activities would cost;
"(f) What was the total amount
needed to conduct the city's business
efficiently. -
'After the tax levy was guessed at.
the various councils, committees and
officials would authorize expenditures
payable from the various funds, until
the funds were exhausted, and after
that warrants were issued that were
stamped 'Not paid for want of funds!'
By this system annual deficits occurred
and the city debt Increased year by
year. This system has beet.' going on
for many years in Oregon and else
where until now many cities have out
standing' warrants amounting to from
a few dollars to more than $100,000 In
some cases."
A budget system is the remedy advo
cated by Professor Sowers for what he
characterizes as a most unbusinesslike
procedure.
DAHLIAS SAID TO GROW
AS EASILY AS POTATOES
Walter Seaberg, of Ilwaco, Wash, Recommends Coal Ashes to Lighten
Soil for Bulbs Best Cultivation Done Before Planting, Says Expert.
BT WALTER SEABERG. Ilwaco. Wash.
pHILE roses should be planted
and considered first in Port
land, the Kose City, still many
showy and beautiful effects to sup
plement these flowers can be had with
the dahlia.
The dahlia is an easy plant to grow
and will do well practically wherever
potatoes can be raised. To get the
best results, however, the soil should
be made soft and rich. I often find
on my dahlias at Ilwaco, Wash.,
feedinK rattail root three feet lone.
which is soft and has little penetrating
power. Because ot tnis root, aanimo
will not do their Dest in a nary, ciay
soil. To lighten the soil for dahlias
coal ashes are equally as good as sand,
fact which is not generally Known.
Stillman, the dahlia specialist, advises
rh use of coal ashes (not wood) tak
ing two parts of ashes to one part of
soil. Relative to this he says:
Dahlias will do better in a neap or
solid coal ashes than in a heavy 10am.
Wherever you plant them be sure and
use plenty 01 ieruiuzer, nowevei.
Heavy soil witli a clay subsoil will
usually produce an abundance of foli
age and few or inferior flowers."
Sandy Loam la Bent.
Bumee. aUo considered one of the
dahlia authorities of the country, says:
Dahlias do best on a light loam or
sandy loam. The ground should De
well prepared by deep digging ana oy
incorporating a liberal quantity ot
well-rotted manure and bone meal."
Dahlias, owing to the soft roots no
best in ground that has Deen culti
vated in former years. Consequently,
if the ground is to be used in growing
these flowers, it is best to spade It up
in the Fall and again, for tnis cumaie,
in January. At the time of this sec
ond spadins: a liberal supply, say four
inches, of rotted or fresh cow or sheep
manure, or well-rotted horse manure
should be added. The addition of bone
meal will help. To those who cannot
obtain manure, bone meal alone will
enrich r the soil. Bone meal, however,
since it is slower ot action than other
commercial fertilizer, must be put In
the ground earlier. The dahlia bed
should be spaded about two feet deep.
All-Oar San Beneficial.
Plant your llahlias where they will
get the sun at least hair tne aay. jmi-
day sun is better. When planting dig
hole about is incnes aeep yui
nronarmi bed. Then put in a heaping
shovelful of cow fertilizer, either fresh
or' rotted, or a shoveirui or weu-
rotted horse manure. Cover the fer
tilizer with soil until within six inches
of the top of the ground and firm the
soil down lightly. .Place tne rooi 01
the Dlant on its side on top or mo son
and in ease the bulb is a good, strong
one, cover in full with soiL Firm the
ground down moderately around the
plant. ,
if thn root is a weak-looking one,
only cover it three inches and fill in
the remainaer 01 mo m. unca u
sprout comes up. If no statue lertiuz
er is available put a handful or two of
bonemeal In the hole and work it well
into the soil.
When planting do not water ax an.
as the ground Is damp enough. Water
ing often makes the ground so wet
that the root rots. In fact do not
water your dahlias at all .until the
buds have reached the size of small
peas. This course will give you deep
root growth and sturdy plants, while
watering will make surface roots and
tall, scraggly, weak plants.
When planting, if the roots are dry
and shriveled, test in a pail of water.
If they sink they are moist enough to
plant. If they float place them in
pan of water and set the pan in the
sun. However, do not leave them there
longer than a day.
To prevent drying of the roots I al
ways leave my dahlias in the ground
the year round, a course whtcn rs pos
sible in our climate. To obtain the
best results divided, one-root planting
is best. Be sure, however, that a piece
of the stock is left on each root.
Many growers keep their dahlia
roots out of the ground, uncovered,
until the eye shows or sprouts. This
is not wise, as roots1, exposed to the
air lose vitality and strength. Put
them in the ground where they are to
grow. Mother earth is the best nour
isher and will feed the bulband make
root growth for future vigor.
One Shoot Suffices.
If late flowers are wanted pinch the
shoot off when It comes up through the
ground and it will send' up another
later. Bulb nr root, once it has out
shoot through the ground, cannot be
killed by pinching back even several
times. Finally, for the largest flowers,
leave but one shoot to grow.
In planting for a single bed set
the plants two' or three feet apart. If
there is sufficient room three feet Is
better than two. For wide beds four
feet apart, or evfeu more. Is best, as
dahlias thrive with plenty of room.
Do not dig around your dahlias after
they are planted, as they do not like
to have their roots disturbed. Ho your
cultivating before you plant. However,
keep the ton of the soil raked loose
and fine for about two inches deep.
This will keep the ground from baking
hard and will help retain the moisture.
