Mr. Hall to his "wonderheart" on August 8. A more formal tone than is expressed in nearly all his other letters to Mrs. Mills is noticed in the following let ter. This ft is deduced is accounted for by the fact that it evidently was sent from Isle Ford, instead of his secret mailing place. Seal Harbor. 'two and one-half miles from the Hall va cation carpp, and was signed with his own name Instead of. an anoymous love term : 1 VIsles Ford, Sunday afternoon: "Dear Eleanor- Minnie wrote to Mrs. Hall that you nave not been feeling well..

What a revelation of l-ve of character it seems as though 'we have together opened the doors of a wonderful world. It is -here now we live in it. It is spiritual wonder fully? calm peaceful yet full of Infi nite ; music and poetry and beauty. How intangible and yet eternal It is ke know it and it is ours for ever." , The following was .written on tae back of a picture postal card by the Rev. Mr. Hall., the picture being that of St. Columbia's church Goit's Island, ' Maine : "You would love this little chapel on Gott's Island. I stepped In here and had a prayer. There is a window over the altar as you wanted and I hepe we have one In St. Johns some day, (P. O. at Seal Harbor. Have Just received your letter, your dear, good letter.")

(IT.- F.)-I-An effort fs leing made by the federal budget bureau to cuf governmental expenditures for the hext fiscal year down to the $,W!IOJOOO,000 mark. If the . federal expenses can be cut to this figure. It will represent a re duction of about 7SO.00.000 below , the expenditures for the current fiscal year. This saving; with receipts of about $2OO,fOO.S00 ?xpected from In terest on tike foreign debt, 'will make possible a further large reduction in taxes during the next year. ! The budget of the next fiscal year, which begins July 1. 1323, will be sub mitted to congress when It meets In regular session eavrly In Decembetr. ; General ' H. MJ Lord. . successor I o -General Dawes, the first federal bud fret idlrector,- Is forcing heads of many gov ernment bureaus to cut their financial requests. , 1 Some- officials are : predicting that taxes within the next year can ; be slashed as much as they were by the present congress, which was approxi mately $200,000,000 a year. These predictions exclude the possi bility of passing , a soldier bonus bill, which would cause 'expenditures j of hundreds of .millions from the treasury. Eft-en if expenditures are cut next year to $3,000,000,090, the cost of run ning the government still would toe double the amount expended before the war. Much of the increase can be charged to the War. officials declare, pointing tor the fact that the interest on the war debt and the, sinking fund for its retirement amount to more than $1,00(1,600,000 a year. There is certain to be a strong. de mand in congress for further reduction in , army and navy, expenditures.
