Fish and Oyster Shortage for Lent.

The supply of oysters at the wharf
market. which is still being received
by express from Chesapeake bay points,
is not heavy. With the increased
demand that will come with the open
ing of the Lenten season Wednesday
next it. is figured the supply will be
short. Usually at this time the dealers,
in preparation for the heavy Lenten de-
mand, have good supplies of oysters on
hand, but the long continued freeze has
prevented the dealers from obtaining
them and there is no immediate pros
pect of anyfrelief Fish also are scarce
and are selling at prices from 100 to $50
per cent above those usual at this sea-
son of the year.

PROJECT NOT MUCH FAVORED.
Mount Vernon Road to Reply This
Week to Proposed Extension.

The Washington-Virgin Railroad
Company. which operates the electric
line to Alexandria and Mount Vernon,
this week will reply to the request of
the United States Army engineer serv-
ice to extend it's line from the present
terminus at Mount Vernon to the big
Army engineer training camp at Bel
voir.
While the camp in an air line is but
about three miles from the present
end of the line, the route that will
have to be followed will require the
building of about seven miles of track
While nothing has been given out as
to the intentions of the railroad COM
pany. it is understood the managers
of the line are not very much in favor
of the project. owing to the high cost
of labor and material at this time.

ask me if III buy some Y. S.
bonds of freedom-I'd rather

cherish, I'm ready now to go to
some red field and perish, if that
will beat the foe. But when you
ask for money, that is another
tale; ask me for lifeblood, sonny,
but do not ask for kale. Id brave
ly face the foeman, and swat him
till he fell, or stop with my abdo-
men the deadly bomb or she'll: I'd
crouch in Redeemed water a fort
night at a time, or wade neck
deep in slaughter, in carnage and
in crime. My country cannot
mention heavy sacrifice but l
will give attention and gladly pay
the price. I'd lose a leg or ten
