PAPER ENDS 2007H YEAR Maryland Gazette {o Mark Historic Career With Souvenir Edition. America's . oldest newspaper, the Maryland Gazette, published at An- napolis Md., will close ks 200th volume on September 15, and the pres. ent owners are preparing an elaborate 150-page souvenir historical book to properly observe a memorable occa- sion in journalism in the United States. “Two Hundred Years With the Maryland Gazette” is the title of the souvenir, which will be supplied all subscribers to the paper, which circu- lates largely in Anne Arundel County, and it is dedicated to Wil who established on Sep- . 1727, the Maryland Gazette. % Wood Cuts Used in 1728. A feature of the book, which is profugely illustrated and contains many reproductions from early copies of the Maryland Gazette, is a fac. simile of the front page of the issue of Tueeday, December 17, 1728. Wood cuts of Neptune and: Mercury flank the masthead of this issue, which, as was characteristic of the early news- papers, contains no headlines what- ever. It is intéresting to note that the issue in July, 1776, carrying the text of the Declaration of Independence, has this “front page story” buried on the second page. In defense of the editorial judgment of the Gazette it is pointed out that the Declaration had in substance several times heen adopted by the States individually and its adoption by the Continental Congress was regarded more or less ofpn r‘:\atterhof form. ‘erhaps the most Interesting issues of the Maryland Gazette, four of which are reproduced in the souvenir book, are those known as “The Famous Stamp Tax Series.” Paper Dressed in Mourning. Dressed in mourning the Thursday, October 10, 1765, issue of the Gazette states in its heading: “Expiring: In Uncertain Hopes of a Resurrection of Life Again.” Explaining that the publisher of-the paper preferred to suspend publication rather than pay the despised stamp tribute to England, the issue boldly prints a prominent black hordered skull and crosshones where the stamp was supposed to be affixed. The fol- lowing quaint language is employed to advise the subscribers of the Ga- zette of the situation. “We are sorry, heartily sorry, to acquaint the public in general and our good customers in particular that this Gazette will not any longar be published (for some time) for reasons already given, which cannot but be known. It is true, it might have lived Three more Weeks, before that Dooms-Day, the dreadful First of November; but as this Week's Paper compleats the Year with all our old customers, as well as finishes the seven years partnership in it, hetween the printe, and that Dismal Day being near at Hand, it ceases Now.

K. (Continued from First Page,) many vyears, in the opinion of those who watch the farm situation. There has been plenty of rain coming at the right time and the damage from wheat rust, storms and hail has been slight. But the talk for farm relief, while not on an argumentative basis, continues in some of the State’s pub- lications, which take the attitude that agriculture is entitled to legislation designed to give it a permanent pol- fey such as has been established toward industry, capital and labor. The suggestions advanced are gen- eral rather tl specific. Most of the President’s visitors have told him that a farm relief bill ought to be passed in the next Congress. At least onc—Senator Capper of Kansas—has told him the equilization fee principle would have to be in: cluded in the bill. Others have had e opposite opinion. 4 ‘hAm})Lg the proposals to Mr. Coolidge for farm relief was that of Represent ative W. E. Hull (Republican), Illinol who suggested the building of eleva- tors by the Government for the pur- pore of housing surplus grain. “Providing the means for the far- mer to deposit in the elevators the surplus of all grains until it can be disposed of through a co-operative marketing medium,” he said, “would naturally take the surplus off the mar- ket. The co-operatives would be regu- lated by the Government. Loans on Grain, Warehouse receipts should be ued to the farmer for the 'surplus grain stored by him in the Govern- ment eclevator and a loan of 80 per cent of the value of the grain on the market the day it was stored should be loaned the farmer through the medium of the Federal banking sys- tem at a rate of interest not to exceed 4 per cent and carried for the farmer until the grain finally was marketed.” To many here it seems assured that Mr. Coolidge will support some sort of wm-relief proposal in the next Con- B He has been listening atten- tively to the reports of those who have come here this Summer.

Gen. Herbert M. Lord, director budget, when a preliminary of tho budget to be submitted to the next Congress was agreed upon. Aceording to the officlal announce- ment, the President has agreed to a total estimate of $3,561,000,000 for the runnirg of the Federal Government next vear. This total is exclusive of the operation of the pestal service, but includes $140,000,008" for tax re- funds, and all permanent and definite annual expe whicl re estimated at approximately $75,000,- 000. Estimates Pared $19,000,000. Exclusive of the estimate for refunds and the definite and per manent expenses the estimates call for a total of $3,816,000,000, which is $16,000,000 fn excess above the limit get by the President when he address- ed the June meeting of the business organizations of the Government. It as admitted that the President and Gen. Lord during their study of thes preliminary estimates struggled hard cut the total amount down to the 300,000,000 originally set by the President as the limit. 1t is known, however, thnt during their consideration of the figures to- | day the President and Gen. Lord did su ed in paring the prelimin: timates submitted by the 43 de ments and independent bureaus to the tune of $19,000,000. In explanation of their prune deeper and cl r, that they ran acro nection with the Veter which is to cost $13,000,000 more than was expected. Also it was absolutely necessary to allow about $10,000,000 to the Treasury Department for con- struction of a new appraisers’ build- ing in New York, which expense was not anticipated at this time. Be, sides these there were a number of additional unexpected but absolutely necessary items of expense amounting to about $4,000,000 which had to be included. ; Considering these unexpected items and the fact that the preliminary esti- mates called for a total of §3,835,000, 000 before the paring process began, the President and Gen. Lord were in- clined to think they had not done such a bad job, even though they did run $16,000,000 over their anticipated total. In making known the fiscal pro- gram as agreed upon today the White House authorized the announcement t the receipts for the next fischl ar are estimated at $3,776,000,000. By deducting the total expense, as estimated now at $8,561,000,000, the surplus will be only $214,000,000. Tax Cut Considered. It was plain to be sesn that the president and Gen. Lord were con- erned about the possibility of another tax cut, as has been virtually prom- sed by the administration.

HUGE SHARK TAKEN BY DISTRIGT CITIZEN George A. Coulon Captures Man-Eater on Eastern Shore of Virginia. | | George Catching sharks, according to A. Coulon, Washington real estate man, is better sport than tar. pon fishing and has the added ad- vantage of being accessible to Wash- ingtonlans, Mr. Coulon has just re. turned from a 10-day trip to Wacha preague. on the Eastern Shore, about 40 mile: ‘th of Cape Charles, where he has spent many vacations ingling for big sharks. ‘This Summer he caught the biggest fish ever brought ashore at Wacha- preague, he says. and that is an honor of which no man need be ashamed. His greatest catch this year was a s| k which measured something more than 14 feet and weighed about 1,100 pounds. It took him two hours to get the big fellow within shooting distance of the boat, and then it re- caliber revolver to kill him. The rk is known by the natives at achapreague as a “tiger,” or man- eater. In addition to his prize catch, Mr. Coulon brought ashore 10 or more sharks, each measuring more than 8§ et in length. He does not bother with those under that length. Using 175 feet of half-inch Manila {rope, an 18-inch case hardened steel hook attached of of a cubic foot of cork, Mr. Coulon baits his hook with 10 pounds or so of fish and waits for a strike. A strike menns a battle lasting any- where from one to two hours befor the shark can be hauled cloge enough to the boat to shogt. Shots must be fired o that they strike the shark at a right angle, or else they will glance harmlessly off the tough hide. Mr, Coulon says that the flesh of the shark is good to eat if properly prepared, but few know how to cook it. He fs having the jaws of his biggest catch prepared by the Smith. sonian, and the hide, weighing for shipment 150 pounds after it had been dressed, will be tanned.

The fact that the receipts, as esti- mated for the next year, are nearly $150.000,000 less than those for the present year was explained as being due to large payments made to the Government by the railroads, which boosted the current recelpts and which will be considerably less next year. In discussing the preliminary esti- mates, as agreed upon today, Gen. Lord declined to divulge how the va- rious expenses were allocated, or re- veal just which activities are to stand the brunt of the slashing. He did state, however, that the greatest expense allowed is for na- tional defense, which includes all the activities of the War and Navy De- partments. Without mentloning fig- ures, he sald that these departments were granted a material Increase over the estimates for the present year. Yvidence of President Coolidge's in- terest in air development not only as a matter of national defense but in a commercial way Is shown in his ap- proval of a substantial sum inchtled in the next year's estimates for the aviation section of the Department of Commerce. Gen. Lord said the esti- mate. for this activity is considerably larger than the estimate for the pres- ent year. In the item of expense referred to in the estimates as permanent and definite is included $19,000,000 to be paid by the Federal Government into the Civil Service retirement fund. This 18 a new expense, it being ex- plained that heretofore the annuities to employes have been paid out of funds created by employes' assess- ments, but now that the Government's board of actuaries have arrived at a definite scale, the Government can de- termine cach year what it will be called upon to pay into this fund. President Coolidge was represented as feeling that the utmost pains had been taken in arriving at this total of estimates and as being Inclined to feel sthat they could not be reduced much lower without serlously affect- ing certain departments. There is no mistaking the concern of the administration, however, over the lessening prospects for a tax re- duction next year due to the small- ness of the estimated surplus. It has been generally supposed that the administration might be able to bring about a tax cut of appr mately $300,000,000 for next year, but associates ot the President said here tonight after the hudget figures were made public that this will be impos- sible unless the revenues of the Gov- ernment during the period in ques- tion are underestimated or unless the expenses of the Government are trimmed down still further. Expect Budget Gains. Moreover, it is felt fairly certain that Congrees will appropriate con- siderable in excess of the budget as presented by the President because of the urgent projects such as flootl relief and control, farm relief, the building of Boulder Dam and the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence waterway system. In making known the estimated ex- pense for next year, Gen. Lord point- ed with considerable pride to the fact that the !nterest being paid on the national debt is $67,000,000 less this year than what it was last year, and cut, saying that i3 & matter for Con. 3ress to determine. By way of comparison it was polnted that during the next fiscal year the interest will be §10,000,000 less than this year. g A t|:|siu‘d five point-blank shots from a 15 e chain and a float consisting | shark weighing one b of Wacha- | The memorial stande near the fa- | a ton. shots from a .45 to kill.
