PANTRY SALE FRIDAY
FOR CEMETERY ASSO

A pantry sale will be held on Fri
day afternoon next in st. Anne's
Parish House from 4 to for the
benefit OF st Anne's Cemetery Asso-
citation.
This organization is in heavy need
OF funds, as great deal OF work has
to be done in the cemetery, and it will
be necessary to employ extra labor
there for the coming month to clear
away underground in the unpaid lots
The Cemetery Association does not
receive adequate support, as out of the
900 lot-holders in the cemetery only
300 are regular subscribers to the as
sociation, which does not provide a
sufficient income to pay the keeper
and the extra expenses that arise
through the year.

Dash Around Horn Memorable


Rear-Admiral. then Captain Clark
was the hero of the most exciting cpl
sode of the period Immediately pre-
ceding the declaration of war on
Spain in 1898. 81
In March, of that year, he took
command OF the battleship Oregon al
San Francisco, when war was con-
sidered inevitable and was ordered to
proceed to Key West, Fla, at all pos
sible speed. The Oregon quickly took
on coal and made the memorable dash
down the South American coast and
around Cape Horn to join the Amer
lean fleet in Cuban waters on Nav
70. Captain Clark commanded the
Oregon in the battle OF Santiago Bay,
July 3, when Cervera's fleet was de-
stroyed.
He was assigned to duty at the
League Island Navy Yard in 1899 and
promoted to Rear-Admiral June 16
1902. He went on the retired list
August 9, 1905, and thereafter spent
his time writing a book, "My Fifty
Years in the Navy" which was pub
lished in 1917.
Admiral Clark was born at Brad
ford. VT, August 10, 1S43. He enter
ed the navy in 1860, took part in the
battle of Mobile Bay and in the bonn
oardment of Fort Morgan and was

Distribution Committee for Maryland
has determined Information to this
effect is contained In a letter from
he committee to Bernard ]. Wiegard,
hel distributor for Annapolis. Ex-
pecied shipments for Annapolis and
rural communities are listed below.
It is stated in the letter to Mr..
Wegard that these figures have been
compiled by the anthracite operators
Of Pennsylvania and are based on
satisfies kept by them showing the
smount OF hard coal shipped by every
anthracite burning community in the
country The letter, in part, reads:
Based On Estimated Production
The figures on the expected ship
nents are based on an estimated pro-
tuCtion between now and March 81,
next, OF approximately so percent of
ne total tonnage produced in the
anthracite field during the last coal
year, II being the plan to give each
community in the country its fair
proportion OF the total amount OF hard
coal produced
You will notice that there are no
tonnage figures for some of the COM
nunities in the list This is because
during the last coal year no coal was
shipped direct to such communities
nom the anthracite fields, but the
needs of such communities were fur
hished by dealers in nearby and larg-
q towns.

BURLEY WAREHOUSES; OPEN.
Farmers Get More i'm Advance Than
For Whole Crops Last Season.

Lexington, KY, Jan. 30.-Four
million pounds of tobacco were deliv-
cred to the warehouses of the Burley
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Mar
keting Association when those outside
Lexington were opened today for the
first time this season, it was announc-
ed at headquarters tonight. AS was
the case when the houses were open
ed last week, it was said that grow
ers received more money in advance
for their crops this year than they
sold them for last season. No reports
of dissatisfied growers were received.
Tobacco buyers tonight contrasted
conditions as they existed today with
those of the opening day for market
ing the 1920 crop. Low prices paid
for the weed then caused so much
dissatisfaction that in several cases
the warehouses were closed for a
time.

Jimmy Says Economy
Gossip is All BunR

Washington, Feb. 6.-Declaration
that the economies which President
Harding and Director Dawes of the
budget announced yesterday at the
second business meeting Of the gov
ernment were largely of paper" va
riety was made by Representative
Byrnes, of South Carolina, Demo-
cratic member of the house appropria-
tions committee, who, in a formal
statement voiced the fear that Mr..
Harding had been so absorbed in
other matters that he was not con-
versant with the existing situation
in government finances.
fAccording to the PRESS" Mr..
Byrnes's statement said, "a direct siv-
ing of more than $104,000,000 had
been accomplished in less than six
mbonths. The fact is that against
this alleged saving the president at
the instance Of the budget bureau,
has recently submitted requests for
additional appropriations as deicien-
cies amounting to s10S,704,2S6 and
within a few days the congress will
commence consideration Of another
deficiency bill to take care Of this
shortage in funds. This amount is
in addition to the urgent efficiency
bill appropriating s50,556222 and
the first deficiency bill appropriating
s105,277,443 If the $180,704,286
now asked by the president is grant
ed, it will make the total deficiencies
to date s336,537,9553.
"I rejoice that the president reiter-
ated his opposition to Deficiencies be-
cause hesitate to think what amount
would be requested Of he were not
opposed to deficiencies"
Representative Byrnes said that If
the amounts mentioned had been saw
ed the treasury ShOuld snow IL. he
declared that no such showing, how
ever, had been made, and added:
"I fear the reasons why it is not
done is that the alleged savings in
most instances consist only in the
postponement of actual expenditures
until the next fiscal year"
Mr.. Byrnes declared that the sup
elemental estimates for the next fis-
cal year, amounting: to sS0,0S3, 22O,
added to the total amount requested
for the fiscal year 1928, would make
that total s1O9,296,365 more than
the amount appropriated for the cur
rent fiscal year.
