About 4 O'CLOCK this morning two

The men were sent to the local Office OF
the American Express company, where
the agent, W. H. Holsington, took the
money order, which was for Sl2 pay

Non Tax Paying Voters Will Be
Cut Off

That the check list to be used at the
coming NJ arch meeting will be consid-
erably affected by the new election law
which provides that no one can vote
who has not paid his taxes, is very ev-
ident already. just now, however, it
is impossible to tell exactly how many
names will be struck Oft.
The check list will be posted next
week as the law provides, and the
names of the delinqrents will be pub
ished in the papers. If any one
whose name has been erased desires to
vote, he must go before the board OF
civil authority at one of the meetings
held for the purp Sc of correcting the
check list, present the tax receipt, and
swear in the vote. Meetings for this
purpose will be held late in the month.
Those no do not get their names on
will lose their vote.
Deputy Sheriff Godfrey said Friday
that just now 1t was impossible to es-
innate the number Of citizens who will
be unable to cast their ballot at the

pay their taxes. There are quite a
number of these but in all probability
the number will be considerably reduc.

Doctors have been loathe TO endorse q

The popular endorsements that

The Japansse Eating 0uttsr.
In spite Of what has been said about
the Japanese being large buyers Of
American-made oleomargarine. they
are consuming considerable quantities
OF butter and are likely to consume
more. as time goes ON. They would
buy much Of this butter from America
but American consumers are willing
to pay more for the best butter than
the Japanese consumers. And 30 the
butter is being kept and consumed At
home. II American prices fall or those
In Japan advance the time may come
when our butter will be a staple arti-
Gle OF commerce In the Japanese mar.
ket.
At the present time the japanese
are buying their butter from countries
other than America. Australasia
seems to have the advantage of most
countries In this regard, and New
Zealand is especially favored. They
can AFFORD to make butter at a little
less price than the Americans and
have no large market at home. for it.
They are enabled therefore to send q
good share of their exportable butter
to Japan. while other butter is going
around the cape of Goodhope to Eng.
land. During the past winter large
dairy company In New Zealand re-
ceived from Japan a single cable mes,
sage for 10000 cases of butter.
