Harding Orders
Retrenchment
to Avoid Deficit
Bureau Chief Called in Con
ferenceNew Budget Direc
tor SuItmiU Estimates
Keep Within Income.
Wellington, July 12 With con
gratulation on the extraordinary
economic! fftectcd by the budget
ytcm in the lat year Pretident
Harding;, addrcing icveral hun
drcd bureau chief yesterday, called
(or still greater retrenchment to
avoid a prospective $500.IKKUHXI defi
cit during the current fiscal year.
Ocn. .Lord, the now director of the
budget, submitted in detail the pros
pective revenue and expenditure and
the president asserted he would
tand squarely behind Gen. Lord, as
he supported Gen. Dawes, in cur
tailing expenses and introducing
more economical method of adminit
traiion.' The president said he would
not send to congress a budget ex
ceeding the revenue and would slash
estimates if the department failed to
do no.
"The report of the director of the
bureau of the budget for the fiscal
year ending June JO, 1922," said
Mr. Harding, "is a record of " real
achievement, of which you may all
be proud, for without your Intelli
gent co-operation this gratifying re
sult would not have been- possible.
Last August r was estimated, on in
formation furnished by those , speak
ing for the spending agencies of the
government, thatwithdrawa4s from
the treasury for the fiscal year just
terminated jtould be $4,554,000,000.
The. last treasury estimate shows
this figure was reduced to $3,795,
000.000, a reduction of $759,000,000.
"The preparation of estimates for
the fiscal year 1924 is the .next im
mediate duty," the president con
tinued, tor that year, estimated re.
ceiDts are $3,198,000,000. or aooroxi
mately $600,000,000 less than the ap-
propriaiions ror me current year pius
authorizations for expenditures, not
included in the appropriations. We
must all keep constantly in mind
that the probable receipts for 1924
will not permit as liberal appropria
' tions as for 1923. In that connection
I may say frankly to you that I will
not send to congress estimates ex
ceeding the probable receipts of the
government."

Declares He Wishes Miss

-'l7(ihl. "!.
Parts, July 12. Keplying to a
story in the Kotton Post to the ef
fort that HiHie Burke' husband w
jealous of anybody' attention to
tlarilymi Miller, Floreni Ziegfeld
told the Trdiune that he absolutely
diil not believe the report that Mine
Millrr said he was jealous of Jack
Pickford.
1 consented to their marriage and
am closing 'Sally' in six weeks simply
to allow the honeymoon." said Mr.
Ziegfeld. "I am now looking for a
wedding present."
; "Not Jealous."
"Marilynn is silly it she said 1
v. as jealous. My wife,, Miss Hurke,
fascinates me more than ever. She
is the most charming woman I know,
and Patricia is a wonder baby. My
wife would have accompanied me on
my entire trip except for the baby'
food, and both are coming to London
next week to see me.
"I do not think that the least friend
of Miss Miller would have advised
her marrying a man dishonorably
discharged from the navy for taking
bribes and also knowing the unhappy
end to Olive Thomas. His ledger
shows a blank on -the credit side and
black on the debit side. I will leave
it to the American public to judge.
"I wish that. Miss Miller would

Miss Thomas committed suicide. It

Mr. Ziegfeld is occupying an apart

where Miss Thomas took poison. He
has heard the gossip of the employes
concerning the causes of the tragedy.

First Peaches Since 1914
,' v in Southeast Nebraska
Stella. Neb., July .-(Specials-southeastern
Nebraska has a peach
crop this season for. the first time
Since 1914. And .although the old
time big peach orchards are no more,
yet there are many trees in town
and on farms and. every tree is bear
ing abundantly. The cherry crop
has been immense, and has lasted
more than a month, and is notyct
over. Cherries sold at various prices,
the prevailing price being $3 for a
bushel of 32 quarts, though in some
instances they were higher. Most of
the family orchards have died out,
and they are not being replaced extensively.
Heavy Rains in July . A
Setback to Stella Farmers
Stella, Neb., July 12. (Special.)
Nearly six and a naif inches of rain
during the first 10 days in July has
given farm work a big set back, and
four inches of rain last night makes
another delay in threshing. Only
one farmer, James Vannoy, on the
Pritts farm, has done any threshing
in here so far.
Some threshing was done last
week on two .farms in Nemaha coun
ty and the wheat yielded from 36
to 40 bushels , an acre of excellent
quality.
