The Government Balances Its
Budget For Fiscal Year 1 922
Some Job, Says Under Secre
tary of the Treasury
Gilbert.
DEFICIT FOR YEAR 1923
Expenditures , "" for the Year
Will Be Five Hundred Mil-
lion Less Than Estimate.
WASHINGTON, June 30. TLe gov
ernment balanced its budget for the
fiscal year 1922 ending today. To
achieve this result of tho ' federal fiuan-
; cial operations for the year -was de
scribed by tinder Secretary of the
Treasury Gilbert as "no mean accom
plishment, ". but for the fiscal year
1923 opening tomorrow he declared the
prospects- "aro not good," with a
budget deficit estimated as high as
485,000,000.
. Final treasury report for the clos
ing fiscal year will not be available for
a day or two, but Mr. Gilbert, who has
charge of the government finances, de
clared 'that expenditures for the year
would be less than $$3,9000,000,000 or
. $500,000,000 less than was estimated as
necessary by the spending departments
at the outset of the year, and that
-there would be a small surplus of re
ceipts. "That this has been accomplished,"
he said, "in the face of tlio unfavor
able prospects that eonf routed us at the
beginning of tho year is' due to tiie
unremitting efforts of ti.c government
departments and establishments under
the firm leadership of the president to
reduce eurrent expenditure to the ut
most limits consistent with proper ad
ministration." Asto the coming year the Under
Secretary pointed to the possibility of
a deficit greater than already estimated
' as,' ho contended, appropriations for the
next year have not yet baen passed by
Congress. However, he maintained, the
"government owes it to itself and the
rest of the world to keep its finances
clean and balance its, budget for , 1923
iis in tho three previous years, and the
ilyt way 'to accomplish tliis is 'to re-
cm

'Discussing the handling the pub- weakened in tho sixth and was relieved

clared that with -tho' approach of the fening Lutherans to a double. ; la the
fend of the year the total gross debt of , sixth, Wh walked two men, and ho
the United States was about $22,950,- was touched for a single and a double,

plained, by the application of $1,-

and outstanding maturities; application
of about $200,000,000 of repayments by

1922. . ,. ..
1'or tho future, he asserted, liquida
tion of the public debt will have to be
accomplished chiefly from surplus reve
nue receipts, and particularly through
sinking fund and other accounts as tho

BAPTISTS WIN FROM THE
LUTHERANS IN FIRST GAME

Two Newest Arrivals In Inter
Church League Put Up
Great Game and Will Give
Other Teams Trouble.
The Inter-Church League's new en
tries, the Baptist and Lutheran teams,
crossed bats Thursday afternoon, With
the foritoer winning the rubber by a tally
of 10 to 6. With a good sized crowd on
hand the innlugg came and went witll
the game proving to grow better as it
grew older. The late arrival of two oi
three players of the Lutherans enabled
the winners to pile up no less than six
units in the initial frame. Two errors,
two bases on 'balls, and a base hit gave
tho Baptist six tallies to begin with. The
late arrivals reported for work in the Bec
loud scene and the game was very well
played from that time on.
The 6uggs brothers who came late to
play for the losers proved to be a great'
aid to them and the contest tightened up
considerably when they Ibegan playing.
H. fcSuggs took tho back-stop job and he
and Holland did their part as the batter,
ies. The former also faced the Baptist
moundsman four times and each time his
stick work was around the thousand
j mark. Of the seven hits gotten off

- Fighting or Disorders
Among Miners.
CHARLESTON, W. VA., Jun 30.
Two companies of the national guards

camp. Lieutenant Mack B. Lillcy, of the
tate police, with about fifty men, wenl
into the hills to meet them. No firing
or other indications of fihting had been

Branch Coal Company, the WV't. Branch
Mining Company and the Coalburg Coe
libry Company at Rohdn, nearby. J

Rotarians Thursday heard two inter
esting talks from two farmers of the
county, Thomas Sparrow, dairyman ana
W. Ti.wnkin, cotton grower. Mr.
Sparrow spoke on the dairy industry in
Gaston county and (Mr. Rankin on tho
boll weevil menace. Both talks were
keenly enjoyed by the memibers. Tli
tWo topics discussed are of great inter.
st in tho county now, particularly to tho
farming interests. ,
.Mr. tiparrow, traced the history of tha
dairy business in tho county, and gave a
short outline of the progress it had made.
His main point was that there ought to
bo a co-operative creamery established in
Gastonia which would afford dniryimtn a
ready market for their product. Under
present conditions, Mr. Sparrow snid,
tho small dairyman is in danger of be
ing pressed out of business. There
ought lo be some provision 9y which h
ran be kept in business nnd encouraged
to enlarge and snre.vl out. He cited the
success of the Charlotte creamery.

would show signs of mirth. Many
preachers were present at this service.

laymen from all over this section. Tho
singing was better than it has been.
Two pianos have added much to the
choir. By Sunday, wo are going to have
one of the finest choirs ever organized

dred and fifty singers now, by )undny
we hope to have five hundred voices.' This
is one of the most interesting phases of
tho meeting.

would agree to abolish the' system 'of
farming out work- to contractors, ono of
the issues in the strike referendum and

victory for the unions, their leaders were
said to be manifesting a disposition to '
cancel tomorrow's strike, order and ac- '
