gineers for the next fiscal year called for $62,ooo.ooO but, under orders to cut to the bone,' this was reduced to $42,S15,661. The Budget Bureau ar bitrariy cut this amount to $27,- SS5,260, and this, plus $75,000.OO for surveys, making a total of s27,960,26O is the amount carried in the bill making appropriations for the War Department which has just been sub mitted by the House committee on appropriations.
 Eliminating all known duplca- tions, the water-borne commerce of the United States for the calendar year 1920 amounted to 369,269,O tons, having a value of Sl9,510,4 ,496,- 495. In addition to this there were transported 2S6,19s,S91 passengers.
 11.6 Cents Per Ton.
 "The amount recommended by the Army Engineers for the coming fiscal year can certainly not be called ex- travagant for it is equivalent to only 11.6 cents per ton, and little less than 2.2 mills per dollar of value of the commerce carried in 1920. The amount carried in the Army Appro- priation Bill is equivalent to a little less than 7:6 per ton and to only IA mills per dollar of the value of the 1920 commerce, or in other words, to less than one seventh of one per cent.

 Action Is Sought. Any action taken must be immedi- ate to have any result There seems small probability that any increase in the amount named by the committee on appropriations will be made in the house Requests that they vote and work for an increase should therefore be addressed to members of the sen- ate, and these should be followed up with letters and telegrams to repre- sentatives in the house, so that any increase made by the senate will be sustained by the house conferees.

Such Is Claim of National Con-

The following matter on rivers and harbors appropriations has been sent out by the Rivers and Harbors Con- gress at Washington, D. G.:
 Unless the friends of waterways follow the suggestion of Hon. Jno. II. Small, president of the National Eivers and Harbors Congress, and take the matter up immediately and vigorously with their senators and representatives, the appropriation for the maintenance and the improve ment of rivers and harbors during the coming fiscal year will be grossly inadequate.

Rich Hill Wins the Odd Game

The Rich Hill baseball team
defeated the Butler boys on the
local diamond in Sunday after
noon s game by a scorer OF 4 to
0. 1t was decidedly off day for
the home boys and they could
not get going and neither could
they keep the boys from the Hill
from scoring. In the seventh in
ming Bobby Luscomb received
an injury that will perhaps-keep
him out of the game the remain
der of the season when he was
forced to retire with broken
end lacerated finger. Grimsley,
who had ben pitching good ball,
went behind the bat and Fred
Hupp, '.Old Hickory" did the
tWirling for the remainder of the
game and held his opponents to
one neasley hit. This was Fred's
first appearance in the pitchers
box for several years and he, de-
soeses much credit for the good
eork he did.

Fire Departments Sells Old Hose
Carts.

The old hose carts that the
Butler fire department discarded
several years ago when the horse
drawn equipment was purchased
have been sold to the city of Hig-
ginsville and were last week
shipped to that city for service
in it's fire department.
The carts were bought immedi-
ately after the installation Of
waterworks in this city and in
their day were regarded as about
the most. up to date equipment
obtainable. In those days the
department consisted of two hose
companies and one hook and lad
der company. DR.. Ely, IA veteri-
marian, was the first chief and
he instilled into his men spirit
OF rivalry that at times was diff
ficult to control. All of the
members We're volunteers and
when the alarm. in those days
the big bell now used for called
council meetings. sounded the
boys dropped whatever they
might be doing and made quick
time to fire headquarters where
they grabbed the tow ropes of
their carts and were away to the
fire. The citizens Of the town
were treated to some spirited
races between the different com
panies each one being deter
mined to get to the fire first.
Along with the serious bust
ness of fire fighting there were
many amusing stunts pulled by
the fire fighters. One night af-
ter hard run to fire on South
High street the nozzle men Of one
company accidentally turned
some water OH the members of
the other company who immedi-
ately took offense and turned
their stream on the first com
pany and soon a water fight was
on and the fire forgotten. The
house burned. On another oc-
casion majority of the men,
bers of one of the companies
were attending IA ball when the
alarm sounded. Dancing part
ners were immediately forgotten
and the fire 1addleS. all dressed +
up in evening clothes. rushed to
the fire department headquarters
got their cart and made quick
trip to the fire. which was in the
extreme north part of town. The
other company was already on
the ground and had strung their
hose from the nearest plug as far
MS it would go towards the fire.
The late arrivals commenced at
the fire and laid their hose back
to connect with the hose of the
other company and. of course,
found that every section of their
hose was lalu the wrong way ana
could not be connected. While
they were changing ends with
their hose the binding was COM
