STOCK MARKET REVIEW

The window dressing which had an
encouraging beginning on THURSDAY
was not continued in the stock market
Yesterday. II was rather difncuiI ior
professionals to make much OF Cream
IN on one another. and profit taxing
Yesterday found many soft spots, which
left a liberal display of minus signs at
the close. Two features or pronounceu
weakness in yesterdays market were
American Beet Sugar and Western
MARYLAND. Selling of the former was
induced by the passing OF the DIVIDEND
on Beet Sugar common. To most OF
the traders of the Wall Street district
the announcement Of the failure of the
company to pay a dividend was sur
prise. For a long time the gossips nave
been busy giving out bull tips on the
stability of the American Beet sugar
Company. including published inter-
view purported to have come from
director indicating that the earnings OF
the company were sufficient to insure
future dividends on the -Imon. In
view of the condition, which must nave
been known to the directors, monthly
statement of earnings would seem TO
be the only plan to protect the pubic
from being misled by false reports
made unoficially. on November 10
1911, the company paid an initial quar-
terly dividend on the common stock OF
Ia per cent, and on January b, III,
dividend of per cent was declared
payable quarterly. The reason OIL
cialIy assigned yesterday for the fail
ure to pay a dividend was that the
company hld large stocks of unsoid
sugar on hand. This statement may be
perfectly satisfactory 10 the company,
but IL offers little enlightenment 10 IN
Nestors who purchased American Beet
Sugar in September as high as o.
which was cheap for per cent STOCK
and who Yesterday saw the price down
TO 419s and a net loss on the days trad
ing Of 6 points. The weakness IN
Western Maryland was not accounted
for by any news developments during
the day, but it was rumored that some
unfavorable news may come next week.
The announcement that Brooklyn
Rapid Transit purposed to double the
capital stock attracted no attention. as
il was merely a process Of financing
necessary to follow out plans for the
exchange Of convertible bonds. The
November earnings of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad made public yesterday
showed an increase of S279,j00 in gross
and a gain of SD 900 in net earnings.
The foreign situation received a little
setback in its progress toward peace
negotiations, according to advices sent
over The tone Of trading in the Sc
curity markets, both in London and on
the Continent, was less steady, but an
Improvement in some issues was re-
ported at the close. The call money

Wholesale Marriage of Winnie

Government Order. f.

WINNEBAGO INDIAN RESER-
WALTON, NEBR.. June 2S.-The Win
nebagoes are mad. They think they
have been bunkoed They were prom
ised a big powwow, in which every
Indian buck was to be married to
one squaw according to the white
mans laws. and now the Govern
ment has held up this order, and the
great marriage ceremony. which was
to join every brave to a squaw, and
incidentally rid the brave of any su-
perfiuous squaws he may have accu-
mulated, is not to be performed IN
I'll the arrival of the new Indian
agent
The Winnebagoes had sent invita-
tons to all their friends in Okla
homa, South Dakota and Montana.
and they were expecting gifts in such
quantities as were never before Law
ished upon an Indian tribe. But they
have been forced to cancel these inyi-
tations and to forego the wedding
presents for the time being.
Mo Swapping of Squaws.
And what is equally bad is an
order which has gone forth from the
Government authorities: There shall
be no more swapping of wives by the
Indian bucks. Every man must con-
tinue with the partner with whom he
is now living. And when the time of
the big wedding comes around, every
Indian must get married to his pres
ent squaW.
The Winnebagoes were not ready
for this The big wedding was not
scheduled for a month yet and many
of the bucks intended swapping or
selling their present squaws and TAX
ing new ones.
Marriage Laws Lax.
WinRebago tribal laws concerning
marriage and divorce were rather
lax to say the least Marriage con
sisted in securing the consent of the
squaw to come over TO the home Of
the buck and live. And divorce was
consummated when the buck kicked
his sqHaW out Of the house and went
ont to find a new one, or when the
squaw got tired of her husband and
left him to take up her abode with
some other red man.
According TO Indian officials, very

- -
w WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Reprs-
sentative Goodwin Of Arkansas has
risen TO dispute the wisdom Of Sec
fetary Of State William J. BRYAN
thougn Representative Goodwin is a
democrat and has cast his free and
untrammeled ballot some several
times for the Nebraskan for Presi-
dent.
But when he read that the Secre-
tary Of State had declared that the
United States Navy is useless and the
army nearly so, he rose to protest
Ihe navy can be useful, he insists. II
can readily be converted into a float
ing exposition Of the products If
American farms and factories and
this show can be of untold value In
making foreign tours
Nations to See Show.
Upon this theory Representa- tive
Goodwin got to work II his enthu-
siasm should sweep Congress off its
feet England, France, Germany, ia
pan and the Latin American repub-
lies will be edited by the sight of
piles of Iowa pumpkins In the maya
zines Of Uncle Sans battleships, in
stead Of 14-inch shells.
When a battleship is dressed, in
stead Of flags flying from the twisted
a. pAA lAldcblltduS anu lOOhOuI towers,
there will be suspended from stem to
stern strings Of shoes from the Mas
sachusetts factories. On the armor
belt just above the water line, will
be painted in large white letters,
"Made by the United States Steel
Corporation"
Instead Of smokeless powder and
torpedoes, the battleships will be
equipped with wheat and -four from
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and corn
meal from the corn belt"
From Admiral Dewey down the line
to the Youngest midshipman the off,
GERS will be sent to special business
schools which Uncle Sam will have t.
open, Enlisted men, in addition TO
their other duties, will take courses
In the practice Of the warehousemen.
Then, after having sufficient knowl-
edge in the premises, Uncle Sam will
become an efficient travelling sales
man, visiting every port in the world
and exploiting American merchan-
disc, commodities and staples.
Asks Redfield for Figures.
As Mr.. Goodwin put It:
81 see no reason why the American
Navy should not be put TO good use.
Opposed to senseless multiplication Of
useless battleships I can see no rea-
son why those we have built at 30
great expense should not be used IN
advancing trade before they rot and
become junk"
Mr.. Goodwin proposed to direct
Secretary Daniels of the Navy De-
partment to report within 60 days to
Secretary Redfeld the extent and
character Of all space on all ships Of
the United States Navy which might
reasonably be temporarily used for
the. purpose Of exhibiting American
manufactured articles and other ar
tfcles of commerce" lie proposes
that the Secretary of Commerce shall
allot space on American ships 10
American manufacturers, merchants,
exporters, boards of trade or other
commercial organizations for use in
exhibiting their wares.

known any of the worlds modern lux
uries, yet who could set near the end
of her journey blessing all who came
near her with a smile that arises only
from a beautiful soul.
And after all the final test of a
mans life is the smile he ends it
with. Be il absent or grave or i'm

Dear old Arlette La Croixs smile

one of the last of the Acadians she Is
a glorious example Of a people who
believed in God and were blessed by

My journeys in Normandy had
brought their reward. It was said
with a better understanding of and
a still greater reverence for the
Aeadian character that approached
my study of Evangeline. In secluded
Normandy buried myself.
AS | sat the first evening conten e
plating the glorious character of
EvangeIine, | picked up a week old
English paper. The featured story
by suffragettes, and immedi ately |
realized what EVangeIine was not. She
was not a suffragetter. Instead of
making demands she made sacrifices;
instead of asking what she could get
she asked what she could give. All
reasonable people must agree that
women are entitled to additional
rights, yet ! wonder if the struggle
for the winning of them will compen-

fine feminine qualities of which Evan
geline was the supreme example.
/ learned, too, another theory in
Normandy: 1t had never occurred
to me that there could be a spot in
the civilized world where the dollar
would beckon in vain-certalnly not
in Europe, since in all my previous
European experiences I had never
seen anything but a highly organized
dollar trapping system, baited mainly
for Americans.
Undoubtedly we Americans are
largely to blame for this foreign deg
relation since we seem TO have lost all
sense of values when we are removed
eight days from our bank balance.
The ocean trip is agreed to be mar
cOtic The eastward trip on the At

fair sense of value. We disembark
with the hallucination that there
never will be an end to our money,
and this hallucination persists until
we embark on the westward trip,
when the awakening process begins.
Question for Psychologist.
I should like some psychologist to
explain the difference in the effect of
eastward and westward ocean travel.
