Hundreds Of People Summering
Along River Shores Of County

Hundreds of residents of Baltimore,
Washington and other cities are
summering along the river shores of
the county near Annapolis. This is
amply evidenced by the many au-
tomoblie parties and others who come
to the city in teams on Friday and
Saturday to make their weekend
purchases of edibles for the Sunday
dinner and to carry them over the
following week The city was crowd
ed with strangers today and the mer-
chants, particularly the grocery
stores and meat stalls at the market,
did big business Many Of the visi-
tors are spending their vacations at
the little resort known as Sherwood
Forest on the Severn River; others
have cottages along that river, and
still others come from South, West
and Rhode rivers. most of the latter
making the trip to the city on the
steamer that plies between Annapo-
lis and the lower river landings.

FINANCES OF CITY
In EXCELLENT SHAPE
Fiscal Year Ends With Balance Of Over
$4,000 In Treasury Officials
Pleased

As published elsewhere in the
Capital in connection with the pro-
cedings of the City Council which
held special meeting last night,
the city tax rate for the fiscal year
has been fixed at cents on the $100,
the same rate as applied for the past
year.
The levy is upon an assessable
basis of nearly five million dollars.
And incidentally, the city officials
made it known ahat the financial
condition of the municipality at the
present time is better than it has
ben for the past so years The city
closed up the year with a balance in
the treasury amounting to more than
$4,000 and in making up the levy it
was found possible TO hold to the old
rate, Notwithstanding the fact that
considerable revenue will be lost
this year from licenses and in other
respects, and besides many improve
ments were provided for in making
up the budget, including the long de-
sired one of dredging the city dock
and bulkheading the north side of the
waterway.
The financial condition of the city
reflects credit upon Mayor Strange
and his colleagues in the City Council
for their able administration of the
city's affairs.

TO POST NAMES OF
DRAFT LIST TUESDAY
Men Subject To Draft 10 Learn OF
CALI J ime.
LOCAL BOARD WORKS HARD
Physical Tests Over, Company N, And
Machine Gunners Have Been
Mustered In.

Every man OF Annapolis and the
county who is subject to the military
draft for Federal service which was
conducted in Washington on Friadv
OF last week will know by Tuesday
Just when he will be called by the
exemption board according to the
plans announced today by Sherin
John r. Sullivan, chairman of thar
body
The Board has practically completed
checking up the names of the oriei
nal list, after verihcation with the
official roll and now ARRANGEMENTS
are being made TO have the lists
printed for posting in public as re-
quired by the Federal regulations
Then notices will be sent out To all
OF the men, notifying them of the
time that they will be called for ex-
animation or to state their claims of
exemption.
In spite of the intense heat the
members of the Board worked until
late last night. in shaping up the de-
tails i'm connection with the work.and
owing to the number of tedious
points involved, il is hardly likely
that the draft list will be ready for
posting before Tuesday. In the
meanwhile, those men subject to tho
draft who are not already enlisted
or presented themselves for enlist
ment i'm some branch of the military
service of the Nation are anxiousIy
awaiting the publication of the list
and the method by which they will be
called before the exemption board.
The Federal officers who have been
conducting the examinations for mus
tering in the trops of Com M and
the Machine Gun Company. Annapo
lis units of the First Regiment. have
finished their work. II was at first
thought this would be completed yes
terday, but drills OF the recruits and
other things interfered to some ex
tent.
The members Of Company NJ were
disposed of yesterday and the COM
pany was mustered in. This morning
the examiners rounded up the physi-
cal tests of the Machine Gunners and
they were mustered in shortly after
! o'clock. Only one man i'm this COM
pany failed to measure up TO the
standard.

TAX BILL ASKS TWO BILLION
Revised Measure Favorably Reported

RECORD 1917 CROP FOR U. S.
Government Estimates Corn Yield at
3,1e1 100000 Bushels This Year
Wheat Crop Is Reduced.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Corn to relieve
the hunger of the nations at war with
Germany; to furnish the alcohol for
the powder for the shells of America
and it's allies; to feed all American
live stock and bring down the price
of beef and pork, and to make up for
the shortage in wheat which is felt
over the world, is nearing maturity on
American farms, according to the Au-
gust government crop report.
The indicated yield of this king of
American cereals is 3,191 100000 BUSH
elsa larger crop than was ever raised
in a single year before. 1t is $1,000
900 bushels larger than was indicated
in the July report, and 608,000,0O0
bushels larger than was raised last
year.
The winter wheat yield is now har-
vested, and is estimated by the gov
eminent at 417,000,000, a gain of 49,
OOO. 600 bushels over the July forecast.
The promise for the whole nation is
653 100000 bushels, or only 100000
bushels above the short crop of last
wear. indicating that there must be a
large substitution of other foods for
wheat. if the United States is to spare
any large amount of this grain for its
allies.
The oats crop, however, mostly har-
vested now, is a record-breaker. 1t is
estimated at 1,456,0OO,0O0, compared
with a yield of 1850, 100000 last year,
which proved ample for this nations
home and export needs.
The indicated yield of white pota-
toes is for 467,0O0,000, compared with
only 2S5. 100000 bushels last year.
