EEU4ERVI4E STORE CHANGES HANDS

Paul Burgund, the Keuterville
merchant and postmaster, has
sold his stock of goods, store
building and residence to Fred
Roman, of that place, and ex-
poets to leave with his family in
about six week for California
where he will probably locate at
some point near Los Angeles.
Mrs. Burgund's failing health is
responsible for the change of
location and their many friends
hope the lady will regain her
health in the 'land of perpetual
summer.
Mr.. Roman has also applied
for the position of postmaster
and will no doubt soon receive
his appointment. With the store
and postofice together he will
probably succeed in building up
a good trade.
We understand Fred is also
contemplating matrimony in the
Lear future and will then have
someone to assist him in clerk
ing and attending to the post
office.

Goods Have Been Given Preference

Washington. -. G., July 8.-secre.
tary Of War Wright has received from
Connecticut oners Of khaki cloth to.
gether with q protest against the use
Of English made khaki cloth for uni
forms. @
The protest recited that uniforms
we're not only Of British material, but
were made up in Manila by Chinese
labor, thus excluding not only manu-
f%acturers OF khaki but American labor
in the production Of uniforms. The
protest vas made through President
Roosevelt, who referred it to Score
tary Wright with the request that he
inquire into the subject, with a view
to giving all possible work Of this
kind to American manufacturers, and
artisans.
British Contracts.
The inquiry BY Secretary Wright de-
veloped the fact that the army quart
ermaster at Manila had let some con-
tracts recently for khaki Of British
make which was to be made into uni
forms in Manila for Philippine cor
stabulary and the soldiers stationed
in the islands. The contracts were
made In the usual way through the
office Of the quartermaster general on
recommendation OF the board Of Of
f1cers appointed for that purpose.
Such contracts as have been let could.
not be, interferred with, but Secretary
Wright directed that the minimum
amount only Of khaki should be taken
under contracts and that he restore
whenever possible preference to
American manufacturers.
Taft Was Ignorant.
Secretary Wright made it clear that
his predecessor in ONCE, Judge Taft,
was not aware Of the protest, as it was
not received until after he had re-
linquished the portfolio Of secretary of
war. s
It was pointed out at the waredepart-
that much of the khaki used in
this country, especially BY officers Of
the army, Is OF British manufacture.
