That midshipmen may be fully
prepared for occasions when. as Off
GERS of the navy of the United States,
they will be called upon to speak upon
public Or semi-public occasions, men,
bers of the first class will have
practice in the post-prandial art, be-
ginning next week and continuing

The feature is designed that no
officer of the service will be at a
loss for a few well-chosen words,
forcibly delivered, when the ship
that he commands is presented with
a silver service or when officers of
a foreign service extend courtesies to
the Navy of the United States.
The members of the first class will
have dinner served to them in the
smoking-room Of Bancroft Hall each
Wednesday and will be called upon to
respond to a toast proposed by a
member of the English department.
Each party will be given four subjects
in advance, but no one will know just
what subject will be assigned to him.
The party from each company will
have its private dinner, with the

GROUND HOG HAS STAGE.
If He Sees His Shadow When He Emer-
ges Tomorrow Then Lock Out
for Bad Weather.

Tomorrow will be ground hog day. "
The Office boy says the ground hog is
a four legged animal which considers
himself particularly good company in
the dark. The dictionery we'll, the
dictionary mentions him in its custo-
mary prosaic style.
However, the ground hog occupies
the spotlight once a year-on Candle
mas Day and no one sees him. so he
crawls back into his dressing room
and cusses the audience or mutters
over their heads" or words to that
effect Then everyone tells every one
else what the ground hog has seen
when he came out of the hole and
what it portends, and every one be-
lieves it.
The point is, if you believe it, that
if Mr. Ground Hog sees his shadow
when he emerges from his subterran-
can abode tomorrow we will have a
hard winter from then on and late
spring. He cannot see his shadow
unless the sun is shining, so if the
sun is shining tomorrow when Mr..
Ground Hog walks forth at noon. we
are going to have a bad winter
There the cat is out of the bag
that's the whole story, if you believe
it. Tomorrow will be ground hog
day.

SERVICES CONCLUDED.
Remarkable Series Of Union Services
in Churches-Resulis Gratifying.

The series of services in which a
large group Of the churches of the
community have been engaged
through jut the month of January, was
brought to a close last evening in
the First Methodist Church. In many
particulars it was remarkable cam
paign among the churches.
For a number of years the com
munity has been accustomed to see
ing these churches unite for the cb-
servanoe of the week OF prayer. for
which purpose the first week of the
new year is set apart through the en-
tire country. But it was a new thing
for the tse churche to carry on a union
evangelistic campaign. such as they
have conducted for the last three
weeks.
For these three weeks the pastors
and the people of the five churches
which were engaged in the under
taking have been meeting together
in perfect accord and with one mind.
Denominational differences have been
altogether lost to sight. The one aim
and purpose of all those who have
co-operated in the work has been to
declare the gospel of the Son of
God as the only hope Of the sinful
world. The meetings have demon
strated that back of the differences
in method of administration and gov
ernment the churches stand together
upon the same fundamentals of truth
The pastors have preached the
sermons with faithfulness, as in turn
they have occupied the pulpits of the
several churches, in rotation. One
OF the most marked features of the
meetings has been the fact that
when each of the pastors stood up to
preach he faced more CT the member
of his own congregation than might
have been found in the service any
other night. This fact has demon
strated the loyalty of the people to
their pastors in a way that must
have been gratifying to the pastor;
Themselves.
The result of such a series of meet
ings must prove beneficial to the
churches. To bring out the fact that
the aim of all the branches of the
universal church is at the bottom
the same. and that for the fundamen-
tails of belief they must all seek the
same sources, must have its effect in
broadening and deepening the life of
the churches themselves
The meetings have not been with
)ut result in reaching people outside
the membership of the churches. As
the gospel message has been pro-
claimed there have been some who
have declared their purpose to accept
it. In all particulars the union SER
vices have accomplished much good
for the com nunity.
Ii is to be hoped that this group
of churches, including as it does the
Presbyte rian, Lutheran, Maryland
Avenue and First Methodist and the
Baptist churches, may continue for
long time to feel the impulse which
these services have generated for
faithful work in the comm unity.

TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS
THAT CONFRONT FARMER
Country Life Commission COnfers
With Governor Today.
COMMITTEES TO BE NAMED.
Business Methods, Social Conditions
and Other Things to be Looked In
to With View Of BelteTment.

Four of the s.ven members Of the
Country Life Commission recently
appointed by Governor Goldsborough
to investigate conditions surrounding
country life in general with the view
of catering to the interests of the
former along various lines, conferred
with the Governor today.
Mr.. William Nj. Hays, of Mont
gomery county, assistant secretary
of the Department of Agriculture,
who was designated chairman of the
commission, was among those at the
conference. A tentative organiza-
tion was effected and plans to further
the work discussed.
AS a means of sub-dividiDg tn
work of the commission ii was decided
to appoint four separate committees.
viz business me thOds, the farme rs
no ne-making, country social life and
finance. These committees will not
be named until the next meeting Of
the commission, to be called at the
pleasure Of the chairman
Mr. Hays explained that the com
mission is not an investigating body
in the sense of the word, but the main
idea is to consider the problems tend
ing to the upbuilding of country life
Of the future, ,and to make recommen-
dations or suggestions to the Legisla-
ture in the premises
The question Of finances will be
considered later. but it is expected
that probably the Secretary of State
will appeal for subscription funds.
and with enough money secured,
permanent secretary TO the commits
sion. one thoroughly in touch with
the questions involved will be ap-
pointed.
1t is planned that the committees
go into every section of the State and
report thB progress of work from
time to time. The good roads lues-
ton, in which all farmers and country
residents are interested, will be among
the subjects for consideration.
There were present at the confer
ence, in addition to Chairman Hayes
Messrs. e. E. Osborne, Of Frederick ;
w. Irving Walker, of Queen Anne 8
county, and Edwin E. Reinollar, Of
Carroll county; Messrs. Robert Grain,
of Baltimore city, and Jerome Davis,

Messrs Adrian Posey and John A.
Mudd and f. Stone Posey, members
of the House of Delegates and several
other prominent citizens Of Charles
county, comprised a committee that
waited on Governor Goljsborough
here today to ascertain what steps
might be taken to secure a continua-
tion of the work on the State road that
runs through Charles county.
1t was pointed out by the committee
that the work was ohly shut down
last week and that the situation works
a great hardship on the people down
there, largely through the fact that
during the rest of the winter, labor
is plentiful whereas with the COM
ing of spring, most of the men will
start tc work on the farms.

OYSTER PACKERS HARD HIT.
Continued Mild Weather Causes GIut
Of Bivalves on Market and Shuck-
ers Also Lose Out.

Because Of the remarkably mild
weather conditions Of the present
winter. the local oyster industry has
been hard hit, and unless things
better TO marked degree during the
present month, the seasons results
TO the local packers will be far be-
low normal. Like conditions, 1T il
said, prevail in other sections of the
State
Reports Indicate that there has been
very little demand for the bivalves
10 every secion. In fact the market
has been glutted for weeks. Annap-
oils packers have had hundreds of
bushels of the mollusks stored away
in their packing houses throughout
the ason and while many shipments
have been made to points in tn Mid
die West, the demand in other re-
spects has not been anything like as
heavy IS in previous years.
Likewise the oyster shuckers also
are hard it. There are many men in
Annapolis, principally among the col
ored population, who depend almost
entirely upon this form of occupation
to carry them through the winter.
But the situation for the past few
weeks has been such that they have
been fortunate even in getting a few
hours work a day.
Prevailing conditions are in strange
contrast TO last winter. There was
a good yield last season and a heavy
demand particularly during the cold
er weather, but at tim IS the ice en-
barge and continued biting cold
weather, prevented the tongers from
getting out to the bars. and the result
was that local packers RAJ short for
