led the bird. y
About three years ago the parrot
gained its liberty and escaped. Since
then Mrs. Goldsborough has been adj
vertising for it's return, and had heard
nothing of the missing bird until last
week, when neighbors reported seeing
the bird on several occasions in the
neighborhood of its former home.
Owing to the social connections
with the bird Mrs. Goldsborough Of
fers a reward of fifty dollars for it's
return. She has been told that the
bird has been seen and heard in the
trees near her home, and the way it
can be captured is to find out where
it roosts and with the aid of a flash
light it could be easily caught and re-
turned.
Just where the parrot has been for
the last three years is mystery to
Mrs. Goldsborough. Possibly, she
says, some one has had it confined and
it has recently made its escape and
tried to find it's way back home. 1t
talks freely and was a great pet of
the family.

Absolute secrecy prevails regarding
the date set for the beginning of the

There has not been any reports cir

some such appropriate name.
Among the promoters for the

others. Ocean City business men are
reported to be making bid for inter-

"They admired the way the sun

COOLIDGE GIVEN
SIMPLE BURIAL
Only Episcopal Ritual, Reading of
Scriptures and Prayer Mark
Ceremony.

: Plymouth, Where in the somber
Vermont hills a group of rugged coun-
try folk and the President of the Uni
ted States met and buried Colonel
John c. Coolidge, the Presidents
father.
A country minister read the Episco-
pal burial service. The choir sang.
Only the ritual, the reading of the
Scriptures and the prayer marked the
last rites for the man who was the
patriarch Of Plymouth and romantic
figure in the nation.
Then the casket, banked high with
the choicest flowers of the White
House gardens, was placed on sleigh
with six National Guardsmen-the
pallbearers-and drawn by two bay
horses over frozen roads a few hun
dred yards to the Plymouth cemetery.
There, in the shadow of a granite shaft
which Coolidge himself had had erect
ed two years ago, it was committed
to the ground. The President and the
rugged mountain people walked ST.
1ently away.

SENATE ORDERS
PUBLIC HEARING
Senate Vets and Drys to Get Six
Days Each to Present Cases
on Law Revision.

Washington-The prohibition issue,
which has agitated both houses of con-
gress at this session as has no other
question, Is to be given public airing
before senate committee during the
two weeks beginning April 5.
This was determined upon by the
senate judiciary committee, which ap-
proved, with but single dissenting
vote, the program recommended by
it's subcommittee Of five for hearings
on the pending measures for modifi-
cation of the dry laws.
Senator Means, Republican, Colo
RADIO, will have charge of the hearings
and he will attempt to hold both the
vets and drys strictly to the subject
of the bills at issue. Each side will
have six days forsthe presentation of
its case with the vets taking the stand
first.
Besides approving the program for
the hearings, the committee Endorsed
the action of the subcommittee in in
definitely postponing consideration of
bill by Senator Edwards, Democrat,
New Jersey, for repeal of the Volstead
act. This measure was pigeonholed,
it was explained, because it's passage
would leave the government without
authority to enforce the dry constitu-
tional amendment. y

Income Tax Receipts Make Gain

st. Pau1-Improved business condi-
lions in the northwest have resulted
In an increase of more than a half
million dollars in income taxes paid
in Minnesota during the first 16 days
of March, as compared with taxes
paid during the corresponding period
q year ago, L. M. Willcuts, collector
of internal revenue, st. Paul, says.
This increase, Mr.. Willcuts pointed
out, is in the face of substantial re-
duction in the number of taxable re-
turns filed with the internal revenue
department this year. The number Of
persons paying income taxes in the
state has been cut almost in half.
