NO POLO PONIES FOR CADETS
Washington Officials Won't Pay Cost
Of the Game at West Point
Major Out s1,e75.

Mai. ]. M. Carson. Jr.. quartermas-
ter in the United States army. would
be glad to dispose of s1.795 worth OF
polo ponies. The ponies have been
used by the West Point cadets In play
ing the game.
Mai. Carson, who has kind heart
but is not versed in the law, paid the
$1,975 for the ponies in April, 1903.
Then he presented the bill In the reg
ular way with his other accounts to
the war department. The auditor or
the war department squinted at the
item and finally refused to reimburse
the major.
BY this time the major was getting
a little anxious and appealed to the
comptroller of the currency to re-
verse the auditors decision. The
comptroller of the, currency seems to
be as hard hearted as the auditor OF
the war department, for Re has just
handed down a decision leaving the
major with his batch OF polo ponies
on his hands and no money to reim-
burse him.
The comptroller says that the ap
priation for horses. cavalry, artil-
lery and engineers" under which the
major thought he was authorized to
buy the polo ponies, is not properly
chargeable with such expenditure. The
comptroller adds that he does not
know of any other appropriation to
which the amount can be charged.
The action of the comptrolled Will
be almost as sad blow to the ca
diets as it is to Maj. Carson, for II
will mean that they will have to
give up polo undess they play with
cavalry horses or mules. 1t looks as
If the major would have to give uI
about s1,975 until he can dispose oi
the ponies.

COTTON LEADS OUR EXPORTS
Shipments of Natural Products FAN
of, While Manufactures Set
New High Record.

Cotton, copper, Illuminating oil,
wheat-these articles, In the order
named, formed the most important
articles exported from the United
States during the fiscal year just
closed. The value of the cotton ex-
ported was $3.50, 100000; of the cop
per, ss3,50o,o0o: of the Illuminating
oil. s62, 500, 900, and of the wheat. $47.-

Other articles of export ranked In
value as follows: Flour. lard. tobacco.
lumber, upper leather, corn. bitumi'
nous coal and lubricating oil.
In nearly all the articles of natural
production there was a marked de-
cline in the exports of 1910, as COM
pared with previous years, while IN
certain manufactures the figures for
the year are larger than for any pre-
yious year, and the total for all man
ufacturers probably will exceed thai
of any earlier year. The bureau oi
statistics, which has given out these
figures, has not yet completed the to
tai value of the manufactures ex
ported.
The falling off Is most marked IN

falling from s161. 100000 in 1892. the

JUST A NATURAL MISTAKE
Gussie, in Fancy Costume, Astonished

Moment.

Gussie was knock-kneed, angular
and round-shouldered. He had ter

making something of a hit at the

as elegant as his figure was un'
lovely.
With fast beating heart he stepped
jauntily from his automobile outside

OUR CIGARETTES IN CHINA
Consul General Charles DENLY Says
America Has Taught the Chinese
to Smoke Them.

America has taught the people OF
the Chinese empire to smoke ciga-
rettes. In a report to this govern
ment on foreign trade by Consul Gen
eral Charles DENLY or Vienna In
which he described the class OF for
eign markets which may be created
by American enterprise and then
supplied, the consul general says:
zone of the most conspicuous ex-
amples of such a market is the de-
mand for the cigarette in China. Ten
years ago the cigarette was an article
used in China by a small number of
people, chiefly foreigners. The field
attracted the attention of a group OF
American manufacturers who exam
ined into 1t and decided to introduce
the cigarette to the Chinese people
by American methods. The result is
that now the cigarette is popular
throughout. the empire"

Referendum Bill Passes the House.

With only two Democrats voting
against it the initiative and referen-
dunn, like the Oregon law, was passed
on third reading Tuesday and went to
the Senate Wednesday with an emer-
gency clause.
The vote on third reading of the ini-
tiative and referendum was 81 ayes
and eleven noes. The emergency
clause brought the noes" two votes,
but they were changed before the vote
was counted, making the vote upon
this the same as that on the bill.
Those who voted against the Dill
were Republicans with the exception
of Speaker Lubers and Representative
Hits of Denver. The Republicans vot-
ing mo" were: Amador, Baldwin,
Boyle, Gardner, Hayden, Packard, Par
rish, Teller and Trindle. Those absent
and not voting were Garcia and
Wilder.

WORKING on the Railroad Bill.

AS soon as the house bill had been
reported to the Senate and referred to
the committee on constitutional
amendments Tuesday, the Democrats
secured an adjournment and the sub
committee of the caucus met to frame
a railroad bill. The railroad bill seeks
to make the present law constitutional
and to fix the salaries of the commits
sioners who will succeed the present
commissioners at $4,000. A provision
REQUIRES the railroads to move live
stock and perishable goods al the rate
of at least ten miles an hour from
point of original point of destination.
The commission will not give any
power to fix rates, but will have the
right to adjust discriminatory rates,
subject to review by the courts. At
torney General Barnett was called into
the meeting and asked his opinion as
to the constitutionality of the provis-
ion. and the attorney general finally
declared that the provision must be
changed to stand the test. He ruled
that too many judicial powers had
been given to the commission. The
measure, besides placing ban on re-
bates and all determinations in the in
terest of favored shippers, forbids the
railway to discriminate between local
tiles.

American Trade with Territories.

Trade of the United States with its
non-continguous territories for the
fiscal year just ended aggregated about
$50, 900, 900, according to statistics Of
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor. The department contrasts this
with the record of 1897, when the
trade with non-contiguous territories
aggregated only $35,000,000. The
largest percentage of gain during the
past year was in the Philippines, to
which the recent tariff act extended
the privilege of Interchange of mar
chandise free of duty. Imports from
the Philippines in the IL months end
ing with May, 1910, were valued at

MISS LAMbERSON
TAKES OWN LIFE
Pretty 10 Year Old Girl
from GObleville Com
mits Suicide

.iiss Letha Lamberson, pretty Is
year old girl from Goblevile, committed
suicide at her rooms in Kalamazoo last
Thursday. The young lady went to
Kalamazoo about a month ago and was
employed in the Kalamazoo corset fac
tory. She was apparently happy, good
natured girl and a general favorite with
her associates. On Thursday morning
when her roommate arose to- go to work,
Miss Henderson complained OF feeling
badly aud decided to remain in her
rooms. Her landlsdy in passing her
room some hours later heard groans,
and entering found her stretched out
on the bed with en- empty six ounce vial,
which had contained laudanum, lying by
her side. She was unconscious, and all
efforts OF the physicians to arouse her
were of no avail.
No cause is known for the terrible act
OF the young lady. She appeared to be
Respondent at times, however, on ac-
count OF idle gossip which would come
to her ears. This may have prompted
her to take her own life.
Her remains we're taken to Gobleville,
where the funeral was held and inter.
ment was made on Saturday.

SIGNIFICANCE Of
DOUBLE CROSS
Symbol of Anti-tuberculO-
sis Society. Has Had
Rapid Growth.

Although the double red cross has
been used in America for more than
four years as the International emble IN
of the crusade against tuberculosis, few
people have known how it originated
until announcement Of the history of
the symbol was made public today by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
1t has been ascertained that the dou-
BILE red cross was first suggested as a
symbol of the International Anti tn Der
culosis Association in Berlin 10 October,
1902. The proposer Of the symbol was
DIR. q. Sersiron Of Paris who Is now AS
sociate Secretary of L'Assocation Cent
rale Franchise Contre la Tuberclose. DR..
Sersirons proposal was adopted at the
Berlin meeting and a movement was at
once started to secure an Official recog-
nization and protection for the double
eros, fron European governments.
Tue double red cross is similar in
shape u cross used frequently in the
Greek Catholic Churches, and also to
the Lorraine Cross OF France. The
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis ia the United
States has adopted to the proportions Of
nine for the length of the cross to five
for the width of the arms, with space
OF one-ninth OF the length between the
arms.
In 1902, when the double red cross
wa adopted, there were not more than
a half dozer associations for the prevent.
ion of tuberculosis organized on a wide
basis. To-day under the banner of the
anti-tuberculosis crusade, associations
have been formed in almost every civil
lied country in the world. Even China
is beginning to take action along this
line, while 10 Turkey, India, Japan, the
Philippines, South Africa, Australia,
Iceland, and in all OF thu European
countries active societies are at work
In the United States, from four indie
pendent associations ia 1902, the double
red cross nov enlists carefully organ
lied national movement under which
are affiliated more than thirty state
bodies and APO local societies. Ii to
these agencies are added the local, state
and national governments enrolled in
anti-tuberculosls work, the double red
cross becomes the symbol OF the great
est organized compaign for the prevent.
ion of disease that the world has ever
known.

A review of the results OF
Tuesdays election from nation
al standpoint provides much
thought for reflection. The ma
tional house of representatives
is democratic and all hopes for
remedial Legislation along repub-
lican progressive lines is gone
for the present. 1T has also
thrust into the limelight strong
democratic candidate for the
presidential nomination in 1912,
that of Judson Harmon of Ohio.
The result ia New York state is
not so much Of surprise when
it is known that Tammany and
all the Interests in that state
combined for the defeat of not
the republican party, but of
Roosevelt. 1t is probable that
the triumph Of Tammany has
only made Roosevelt stronger,
and that he will be a dominant
factor in the crucial contest
which seems inevitable in 1912.

Meritorious Promotion.

The promotion of M. O. Row
land to the head of the Insurance
department of the state of Mich
igan is gratifying to The True
Northerner as we'll as to his
many friends throughout Van
Buren, county. Mr.. Rowland was
formerly publisher and manager
of The True Northerner, and
Paw Paw has been his home since
childhood, with the exception of
a few years spent in various
cities and villages in this state
He severed his connection with
The True Northerner less than
six years ago, and was appointed
to a clerkship in the Insurance
department of the state. Since
that time he has established an
enviable and unique record for
himself in that department. He
served in the capacity of cl Jerk,
was promoted to deputy of the
department, and now takes Mr..
Barry's place as commissioners OF
insurance of Michigan. The
unique and altogether unusual
part of Mr.. Rowland's record is
that the promotions have come
entirely unsolicited by him or his
friends. His efficiency in the va
rlous departments of the official
work, his universal courtesy and
strict attention to business have
won for him the highest honors
of the department.
Mr.. Rowland is now valuable
man in the Insurance depart
ment and to the state of Michi-
gan. His official term will ex-
pire July 1st. 1911, which will be
the expiration of the term for
which Mr.. Barry was appointed.
The appointment will then be up
to the new governor. 1t will be
a serious mistake if Governor
Osborn should decide to dispense
with Mr.. Rowland's services and
appoint a new man In his stead.
The Insurance department has
been one Of the departments OF
state that has kept aloof from
the many political squabbles in
the state. 1t has attended strict
ly to the duties that came within
the jurisdiction of the depart

The result in Van Buren, coun.
ty from republican standpoint
is all that could be desired. The
ticket was elected by splendid
majority considering that this
was an "off year. The low ma
jority of the county clerk elect
is not humiliating in the least,
considering the tactics and siren
uous opposition of not only the
opposing party, but some repub-
licans whose support the repub
lican nominee had a right to
expect.

has won by hard work and meri
torious service.

WE NEED THE MONEY.

The True Northerner de-
sires to say a word to it's sub
scribers who are in arrears.
Many of our subscribers are
forgetting the fact that the
new postal regulations re-
quire all subscriptions to be
paid in advance, and under
no consideration can papers
be sent through the mails TO
those who are in arrears
more than one year. The date
of expiration is always print
ed on the paper Immediately
following the subscriber
name. Subscribers at all
times can tel just when their
subscriptions are due. We
have made practice of mail
ing notices to subscribers no.
tifying them of the expiration
of their subscriptions. This
however necesSitateS need
less labor and expense, as the
date is always to be found
opposite the name printed on
the paper.
The True Northerner will
esteem it special favor ifev-
cry subscriber will examine
the date Of expiration as
printed after the name on the
paper, and if in arrears call
at the office and pay the same.
we do not desire to violate
the provisions of the new
postal ruling; we want you
t. have The True Northerner
as heretofore, but we are
obliged to confess that WE
NEED THE MONEY, and
therefore ask that you attend
to your newspaper account,
if you are in arrears.
