By a decision OF the Comptroller
of Che Treasury today, the State OF
Missouri receives $50, 500 upon a Span

If the United States wishes TO main
tain credit balance in export as
above imports it must increase its
foreign trade in manufactured goods.
This is the warning sounded in the
annual report of the Bureau OF Manu-

mounts for the army officers who are TO

ed at the remount depots at Fort Reno,
and other places. The horses so Sc

their mounts were not up to the
thoroughbred standard.
