TO RESUME TRIPS
The Steamer ldIsr Expected To Run To.
daY- Between Cambridge And
Annapolis.

The steamer Idler, of the CheSa-
peake Navigation Company, that has
been in drydock at Baltimore for the
past nine days, is expected to resume
its trips between Annapolis and
Cambridge after today
The Idler became disabled some
nine or ten days ago, and it was
found necessary to send the boat to
Baltimore to be placed in drydock
for repairs, and there have been no
trips between the Eastern Shore and
Annapolis since that time. The fail
ure to make her trips has been q great
Inconvenience to the patrons of the
Idler.
No official information was given
of the suspension of the boat service,
and on several occasions persons in
town intending to take the trip TO
Cambridge packed their grips. went
to the wharf prepared to take the
steamer trip across the bay, only to
find the boat was not running.
Further than this, the company
did not notify this paper to withdraw
their timetable, and repeated calls
were made over the telephone, charg-
ing this paper with publishing myth.
However, airs well that ends well,
and Captain Mccormick, of the ldler,
who is secretary to the Chesapeake
Navigation Company, has given it out
that the Idler will resume her trips
to Cambridge today or tomorrow.

RAIN NEEDED FOR CROPS
Weather Bureau Still Reports
Deficiency In Precipitation.
PORTIONS OF STATE DRY
Heavy Frost In The Mountain Districts In
The East-Too Cool For Cotton la
Some States.


Favorable weather for corn, plenty
of sunshine, but not enough rain for
cotton, too cold in Pacific Coast states
for fruit and generally not enough
rain on the Great Plains was the re-
port for the week over the crop-grow-
ing area. The Weather Bureau has
issued summary for the week as
| follows:
The weather of the week as a
whole was favorable over the corn
growing states, although it was some
what too cool and cloudy during the
early part of the week over the more
Western portions and too cool during
most of the week over the Eastern
districts. The general lack Of rain
and high percentage of sunshine were
favorable to the maturing of corn,
| but more warm weather is still need
ed in portions of the Middle Missis-
sippi Valley.
"Over the cotton growing states
east of the Mississippi there was an
abundance of sunshine and practically
no rain, except locally near the coast,
but it was generally too cool during
most of the week over the more East
ern portions. West of the Missis-
sippi there were some heavy rains in
Central, Eastern and Southern
Texas, but over the remaining por-
tions of Texas and in Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Oklahoma there was a
general absence of rain, and warm,
sunshiny, favorable weather was the
rule.
cover the Atlantic Coast districts.
from the Caroqinas northward, the
week was generally clear and cool,
with some heavy frosts at exposed
points in the northern and mountain
districts near the end of the week.
But little rain occurred and the
ground is generally in need of mois-
ture. especially in portions of Mary
land and the adjoining states. Along
the northern border from the Upper
Lakes to the Rocky Mountains con-
siderable cloudy weather prevailed,
but generally without rain.
In the Rocky Mountain and Pla-
teau states good rains occurred in
many localities, greatly relieving the
protracted drouth conditions that had
prevailed, especially from Utah north
estward over Idaho, Nevada, Oregon
and Washington. In Northern Cali
fornia the week was generally too
cool and some damage resulted to the
fruit interests on account of unusu-
ally heavy rains, especially in portions
of the San Joaquin Valley.
lover much the greater part of the
country the precipitation for the week
was very light and large areas in the
Great Pains, the Middle Mississippi
Valley and the northern and central
portions of the Gulf States were
without any rain. Precipitation was
above the normal generally over the
Plateau and Pacific Coast states and
in small areas of Texas, Iowa, Illinois
and Indiana, but over the greater
part of the region from the Rocky
Mountains eastward there was in near
ly universal deficiency.
The rainfall for the season, March
/ to date, is still deficient over much
of the country and the water supply
continues low in many sections.

TAKING PRECAUTIONS
Mayor Strange Orders Southgate Foun.
tain Supply Shut Off.

As a measure of precaution, Mayor
James F. Strange today had the
water supply of the Southgate Me-
mortal Fountain, Church Circle and
College avenue, shut off.
The fountain is furnished water
from the reservoir that supplies the
city, and as the water in the reser-
voir is diminishing daily the Mayor
thought it best to exercise economy
and to save this amount at least.
The Southgate fountain is great
source of relief to famishing dogs
and thirsty horses, but these will
now have to quench their thirst at
the fountain on Market square. This
fountain erected as base of a me-
mortal of the 225th anniversary of
granting the Annapolis Charter, is
an artesian well.
Water here is discharged in gall
Ions and gallons every minute, and
goes to waste. 1t is delicious water
and the horses and dogs love it.
Residents of lower Main street and
Market Square would do we'll to
use the artesian well water as
much as possible, rather than waste
the eity's water supply from the
reservoir.

OLD MEN ARE BACK
Many OF The Veteran Football Men Out
Yesterday But More Are Expected To
Be On Hand For TOday's Prac-
lice.

With numbers of the veterans of
last years squad on the field in grid
iron togs for the first time, football
work at the Naval Academy took on
a really serious aspect yesterday af-
ternoon when Coaches Berrien,.
Wheaton and Howard got hold of
their charges for an hour or more in
midafternoon.
While the coaches were on the job,
"Scotty" McMasters, the veteran
trainer, formerly of Harvard, who has
just returned from summer spent in
the South of Scotland, looked over
his charges and supervised the laying
off Of the field, which this year will
be less like a checkerboard than last
season because the new rules elimi-
nate the necessity for any marking
other than those across the gridiron.
Among those of last years veterans
who returned for yesterdays prac-
tice were RED" Irwin, who is the
Navy's best possibility for quarter
back; Cummins Carey, the feet Mary
land lad who is looked to shine in
the open game created by the new
rules, and "Cit" Loftin, captain of
next years crew and one of the
speediest of the tackles last season.
The coaches are looking forward,
however, to a big increase in the
number of last year men this after
noon, when yet more serious earnest
ness will.be manifested. The work
yesterday consisted in breaking some
of the new men of the Plebe class in
with the rudiments of the game and
later in practicing long forward passes
straight over the middle of the line
as allowed by the new rules.
Among the promising candidates
for place in the back field from

The Circus

Frank A. Robbins all-feature
shows were in our city on Wednesday.
1t was truly an old-fashioned circus.
and they drew large crowds to the va
rious entertainments. This show was
a clean and good production. The
men who were connected with it, so
far as we met them, were gentlemen.
The show in itself was beyond the
average circus. We heard many
people say, who had visited the
larger shows. that this was the best
for the money that they had ever at
tended
The parade in the forenoon was the
best show parade we have ever had
in town. 1t was about a. half mile
long and was filled with variety.
There were three bands in the process
sion. The acrobatic performances, the
clowns, the trained animals and the
musicswere features of the entertain
ment.-Mt. Union Times.

afternoon and night.

DIMINISHING DAILY
Water Supply In The Reservoir
Growing Less And Less.
ECONOMY URGED
Consumers Begged Not To Waste Water
Must Not Use Sprinklers Or
Garden Hose.

While Annapolis is not threatened
Immediately with a water famine, all
consumers are urged to be economi-
cal with the use of water, as the sup
ply in the reservoir is diminishing
daily, and the Weather Bureau SAYS no
rain is in sight. and promises no relief
from the dought.
Despite the warning issued officially
by the Water Company over a week
ago, through its president, Mr.. Harry
j. Hopkins, citizens continue to use
garden hose and spinklers. This is q
waste of water at this time. when
a water famine is imminent, if heavy
rains do not come soon. Annapolis
cannot afford to waste water at such
crisis as the present.
President Hopkins today, through
the Capital. issues another warning
in which he urges the patrons of tho
Water Company TO use their best
efforts to conserve the supply. He de
plores the use of street sprinklers and
garden hose. and pleads for their dis
continuance at once. This, he says,
is imperative.
Today the water from the Southgate
Fountain was shut Off. The reservoir
supply is growing less and less and it
may become necessary to shut Off the
water at night to prevent the willful
waste of thoughtless consumers. At
tention is called TO the Water Com
pany s notice in another column.

/ tion of Prof. Royal ]. Davis. has been
/ filled by the election of Prof. Edwin
5. Armstrong, A. M, of German
