WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-Cool-
idge economy resulted in the Gov
eminent conducting its business at
lower cost during the last fiscal
year. Director of Budget Lord an
nounced today in his annual report.
The "loyal order of woodpeckers, I"
the term given Federal employees by
Lord because they peck here and
there to cut expenses, saved the
Government sol, 100000 in cash and
many more millions which would
have been spent had not economy
been predicted, the report said.
Urges Further Economy
Ordinary receipts of the Govern
ment for the year ended June 80
totaled $4,129, 394,0 900 as compared
with $8,962, 775, 900 the previous yer.
Expenses amounted to So, 493, 584, 900,
a decrese of more than $91, 403, 900.
General Lord urged further econ
omy this year, pointing out that
the present budget calls for an ex-
penditure of only $3,2o0,o 00.000 The
1929 budget will not exceed $780,
100000, he predicted.
In his report Lord said the COM
munication services of the Govern
ment earned approximately $l,7lO,-
600 in~twelve months by handling
commercial and Federal messages.
One of the major economy pol
icies of the Government was to cut
personnel wherever possible, the re-
port showed. When it was necessary
to replace an employe who resigned,
appointment was made at lower
wage If possible.
Many Small Savings
The Government also got "cut"
from the telephone company at
Washington. The Treasury collected
two cents on every nickel call made
from a pay station located in a
Federal building.
Other economies included expense
accounts, using paper on two sides,
sharpening pencils until they were
only an inch long, returning pay
envelopes so they could be used
twice, turning typewriter ribbons
over so they would last longer, and
long list Of other things the
"woodpeckers" practiced..

DEMOCRATS OF
DAKOTA WORRY
over AL SMITH
Special Pow-Wow Called
by State Chairman to
Discuss Prospects.
sy Urstcd Press

By UNitcd Press
RAPID CITY, s. D., Aug. 49,
Democrats Of this State are so wor-
ried about what is going to be done
about the presidential boom fol
Governor AL Smith of New York
that they are going to get to-
gether in September to attempt to
Determine where their ten votes will
go in the next Democratic conven-
ton.
F.. w. bigger. chairman OF the
Democratic State committee, has
invited every county chairman in
the State and the entire State cen
trail committee, sixty-four in all, to
the pow-wow.
bigger, who is considered an anti
Smith and pro-McAdoo man be-
cause he held this State delegation
for william G.. McAdoo in the bat
tie against Smith at the last Mad
ison Square Garden convention, says
the meeting will merely discuss pros
poets Of Democratic action.
Meeting an Innovation
Democrats here have never before
gotten together in such a meeting
prior to the regular Democratic
state convention which is called to
select candidates for proposal men
at the peculiar primary they hold
here. The convention to select pro-
l3osal men will be held in February
and the primary will be held in May
20 choose national. convention dele
gates.
The real purpose Of summoning
an early unofficial convention is to
decide what will be done about the
Smith movement; to determine how
Democratic leaders throughout the
State feel toward Smith.
Smith Men Active
There has been much Smith talk
out here. In 1924 South Dakota
went for McAdoo and stuck to him
i to the last. North Dakota gave
Smith six votes. 1t is understood
that Smith men have been through
both States sounding out sentiment
and making all possible arrange
ments to swing the State.
But some leaders are reluctant to
go to Smith and they want to fight
out the question among themselves
before the convention or primary.

Speculation as TO the political con-

from the club on the eve OF the

that it was because of disapproval

yesterday by the statement of Nor

committee chairman, that he was re-
turning two tickets to the debate
because he was not interested.
