Y., under the direction of Colonel "Doug Young, former Indian Array officer, Little developed into a fine player. Ho is an excellent horseman, being better skilled in true horsemanships than many well known poloists. His playing with the .Camden team so far this .year again is stamping him as a J player of real merit. Of course the playing success of the Camden team is due to R. S. Allison. Allison is not only a fine I player?one of the top-notchers In I the' game?but also one of the few I coaches who can take four players and develop them into a unit. AlliI gnw has played with the best in the -world. In the summers he is seen [ ijl th~ polo fields of Rumson, TCatonItown, Ox-Ridge, Greenwich and other polo centers. Allison is a long and I accurate hitter, as well as a fine horseman. Under his leadership Camden is hound to develop into a Leanu of recognition Before long. | The best known player mt Camden ? none other than Gerard S. Smith, of Brooklyn, N. Y.

Opponents I have learned never to take chances 1 when Pomeroy is near their gofcl. Delavan Baldwin, also from Greenwich, is playing a good game, improving all the time.

Admiral Richard H. .Leigh, battle force commander, explained that plans for the annual spring joint army. And .navy maneuvers had been made two years ago and had, nothing to do with "the Sino-JapWese situation, . He said, however, the battle force would go "fully prepared for any contingency." At Pearl Harbor, in the Hawaiian islands," said the admiral, "we have a most complete fleet operating base, Which would be the fleet's primary base in the far-fetched eventuality of international _ complications in . the western Pacific^ The battle craft will carry supplies sufficient for a year's cruise. Admiral Leigh explained this was the usual practice for annual maneuvers which must fiiid the fleet in full battle trim. Within a few weeks the maneuvers will bring to Hawaiian waters the navy's fighting foboes from the Atlantic a? well. ast the Pacific, more than IPO ships in all.

Before leaving Mr. Williams said, "Two very important subjects will be thoroughly covered at the meetings this year, first will be the matter of 'merchandising of products at the hew low price levels which have been es- ?? tablished during the two years, made possible by the increasing coopera- ? tion between, .manufacturing- and- dis tributing organizations. "The other' will be the matter of our relations with the public which m should result in a better understanding between the buying public and the retail stores which they patronire." . / "The future of ^industry depends largely on the ability of the retail organisations of the country to go ahead without the hampering <effects of restrictive legislative .methods and without interference with the normal . processes of development in the retail structure of the country."

Only a few..day*., ago Charlie Tyler, a colored farmer, living on Mr. J. E. McTntyre's place, made a discovery that proves the fact that times are getting better; While cutting cross ties he found a large white oak tree that very well played its-- part In -making bdtter?-?times. This tree netted the cutter thirteen first-class eross ties and" four ~ * fat o'possums.. In spite of the fact that tie? are not worth much now, this was a very valuable tree. _jQh?rIle JSays, although he is hot P? th?~pension Ust for ex-soldiers, that he won't have to worry about hard times looking him in the fac^ providing the cross tie business con-. tinues to be that good.
