SWATCH WEATHER FORECAST,

Shippers Of food and other products
urged TO watch the daily forecasts, is
sued by Weather Bureau station dur
ing the winter in cities and towns of
considerable size, of minimum tenn
peratures expected to occur within
shipping radius Of one day or two
days of the station. These forecasts
may be had by telephoning or tele-
graphing the Weather Bureau Office,
or arrangements may be made in ad-
vance to have them sent as desired.
When freezing temperatures are for
cast, shipments may be given ade-
quate protection or delayed until con-
ditions change, or if they are enroute
orders may be telegraphed to have
them placed in shelter. Experience of
large produce-shipping firms, as given
in their voluntary testimony, is that
as a result of careful attention to
these forecasts their losses from
freezing of goods in transit have been
negligible. The importance of this
service is thought to be especially
great during the war, with its food
necessity.

OTHER GRIDIRON GAMES
INTEREST ANNAPOLITANS
Marines. Next Weeks Opponents, De-
feated Pennsylvania, While
Great Lakes Tie

Many of the football games played
on Saturday had special interest for
Annapolitans, particularly those in
close touch with Naval Academy
sports. The 1-to-0 victory of the
League Island Marines over the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania meant most
here as the Marines will be the op-
ponents of the Midshipmen next Sat
urday. There is every reason to be-
lieve, from the showing they made
against the Quakers, that they will be
sitter proposition than the Newport
Training Station eleven, which the
Midshipmen overwhelmed here Satur-
day. A victory over the Marines
would be of special interest, as it
would probably make the game of the
Academy against the Great Lakes
Training Station eleven, a real test
of the Naval supremacy.
The game in Philadelphia was not
open to the general public. the in
fiuenza ban being still in force. On
the whole, the Marines had the bet
ter of the general play, but it was
not until the last half that they
scored The opportunity was given
by a tumble in midfeld by Penn, and
the ball was carried on chiefly SER
les of forward passes. The last one
from Simmer to Wilson. was for a
touchdown. Incidentally, in the end,
Mike Wilson will be the man for the
Navy to watch next Saturday. He
played football on a number of school
and college teams, and was a tower
of strength for the Marines. Another
bulwark for the devil-hounds is Gar
low, the Carlisle Indian, who plays
center. He was in the game when
most of the Midshipmen were in the
first reader.

SPECIAL SERMON MARKS
RESUMPTION OF SERVICE
Dr. Burgan, at First VI. L. Church.
Offers Thanks and breaches On
Gods Plan

The resumption of services at the
First Methodist Episcopal Church was
marked by the attendance OF large
congregation Sunday morning. The
midshipmen, students of st. Johns
Reserve Officers and candidates were
all represented by substantial de-
tachments. The pastor, DR.. H Will
son Burgan, mentioned as a reason
for thanksgiving, that no member of
the church had died during the cpl
demic, and that there had been but
one death among the families of those
who attended the church.
The text OF the sermon was taken
from the fourth verse of the second
chapter of Haggai: "Yet now be
strong, o Zerubbabel, saith the Lord,
and be strong o Joshua, son of Jose
dech the high priest; and be strong
all ye people of the land; saith the
Lord, and work; for l am with you,
saith the Lord of Hosts"
The preacher gave the historical
seating of the text, showing how the
Jews had been allowed to return
home after the Babylonish captivity
and the difficulties which beset them
in the reestablishing of the kingdom
and the rebuilding of the temple. He
showed that God would accomplish
his purpose in spite of the fact that
His work was sometimes hindered by
the sins and shortcomings of human
beings. He made the application TO
the present war and expressed his
confidence that God would yet reveal
His will to His people when he found
the nation which was ready to per-
form it and to interpret it to the
world.
