SCHOOLS Test Farmers Seeds.

If Oklahoma has bumper crops this
year it will be due in considerable
measure to the direct aid rendered
the farmers by the schools. Through
out the state the teachers and pupils
have been Systematically testing seeds
for the planters in their respective
communities, according to information
received at the United States bureau
OF education. Every teacher in the
state has received from State Super
lntendent Wilson a scoring sheet on
which to record the tests.

A Commandment.

A teacher in a big elementary school
had given lessons to an infants class
ON the ten commandments. In order
to test their memories she asked:
"Can any little child give me a COM
mandment with only four words in it?
A hand was raised Immediately.
'Well?" said the teacher
Keep off the grass" was the reply.

Long creek is still giving up new pay dirt to the energetic and persistent pros Dector, is the latest from that mining sec tion
 A few weeks ago it was mentioned in the columns of this paper that pay had been iounG cn bench claim on upper Long, ou2csite 3 above This was confirmed later with the added information that the dirt banned from Sl to s2S0 to the pan And now it is learned that 50 pans taken from 40-foot crosscut on this ground when weighed amounted to just S52 This looked very good to Mir Wickstrom but he did not become excited-Just started another shaft about 150 feet from the pay hole This shaft was bedrocked few days ago and, while the pannings are not definitely stated, it is said on good authority that the dirt shows but little lower grade than that found in the crosscut referred to above.
 Freddie Webber and partners, on the Dea- con bench, completed their second hole on pay ldSl "eeh pay "illou tlley leSl VIII justify them in putting a plant on the ground
 Buckley Bros, on the Novikaket Asso- citation, have finished new working shaft, landing in the pay dirt.
 Ditz & Co. are now prospecting with drill on their ground, but will say nothing about the results obtained.
 Gidlund & Co.,, on No. ? Bear pup. have been prospecting the remainder of their ground to determine where and how the pay runs They feel we'll satisfied with what they found, and will now get down to work preparing for next summers op- erations.
 Taken all in au Long creek will be & pretty busy place after New Years day.

FINDS HARMONY IN
 THE BRAY OF A MULE
Showing That Tastes in Music, as in Number of Other Things.
 Vary Greatly

St. Louis. Dec l3-The scientists who tor ages have tried to evolve @ use for the squeal of the pig, on the theory that all other parts of said pig have been made useful by the packers, may get some com fort from the statement of the Rev. James fort from the statement of the Rev. James A. Dillard, pastor of the Delmar Avenue Baptist church, that even the bray of mule ard the buzz of fly possess musical qualities and can be used to tune piano
 "All animals have a musical cry said Dr. billiard "For instance, we can sound the buzz of the bumbebee or the low drone of mosquito on a piano key.
 ''The cricket has three musical notes, while horse can almost run the scale. dog has several different notes that vary with his cry. The house fly has notes and by following them one would be able to tune piano.
 "As I run tie scale on piano l can strike a certain nc<e that is in harmony With that carried by the dog. and he wlB answer with a howl ID the same note as the one I strike on the piano. Even the mule has musical note to bis bray that IS harmonious"

TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION
 WROUGHT ON LAKES
November Storm Did Untold Damage and Resulted in Loss of Hundred and
 Fifty lives-Steamshps Lost

Chicago, Dec. 1-Estimates of the num- Der of sailors drowned during the storm early in November on the Great Lakes reached 150 today. At least 25 big steam ships were lost. Of the number of smaller craft which went down and of the extent of the damage to lake ports it was i'm possible to do more than guess vaguely.
 A majority of the fatalities occurred on Lake Huron. The west shore IS usually the safest during heavy storms, and when the recent blizzard broke many boats put in toward it for safety. The wind, how ever, shifted, and the usually sheltered coast received its full force
 Its violence was such that the staunchest vessels of recent construction, and repre- senting the best in marine architecture, were dashed on the rocks and smsshd like egg shells. Anchors failed to hold or en- zines to make headway against the terrific power of the gale.
 Next to Lake Huron, the storm was worst on Lake Superior There, however, the wind did not shift, so that craft which reached sheltered places before the storm had reached its height rode it out in safety.

PIONEER OF NOME
 TELLS OF ARCTIC

Captain A. E. Ludlow pioneer whaler and prospector, who is now in Juneau en route to the Pioneers home at Sitka, has 3pent 43 summers of his life in the North the calling of catching polar whale. For the latter 15 years, however, he has been prospecting on Seward peninsula. Speaking of Louis Lane and his schooner Polar Bear Captain Ludlow said:
 T notice Louis has gone into winter quar- ters at Camden bay, near the boundary be- tween Alaska and Canada. He has cer tainly picked out good place to winter Yes, was there in 1875. We were catch ing bowheads.
 "On our charts we whalemen called it The Mudhole,' on account of the shallow water in Camden bay, and because it was full of polar whales. It reminded us of a mudhCle full of eels There were l6 ships in the fleet of 1875, and we all got all we could handle Our ships filed up in few avs at Camden, taking the whales as fast as they could be cut up, and squared sway fer home The other 12 filled up just about as quickly at Return reef, about 25 miles west of Camden bay and they squared away for home also Those were good days
 This Return reef, running out from the coast forms a wicked trap for the unwary. At certain seasons, or most any time, for that matter the ice pack may be down upon you, and if you are close in and on the east side of the reef you're caught, that's all and there's TO telling when you'll get out.
 Tn 1924 Sir John Franklin, who had left his ships farther east, reached Return point n small boats, and after camping there for time returned to his ships. It is from this circumstance that the point gets its name Ii Sir John had continued 140 miles arther west he would have discovered the longsought Northwest passage, and have reached the Pacific.
 "Afterward I was in Nome when Captain Roald Amundsen came through with the lttle Gloa, and we gave him royal re- ception." ."-Juneau Empire.

ENTHUSIASTIC RUBY MAN
 JNCOVERS NEW RICHES
ooportunities for Farmer and Fruit Grower on the Fertile Lands of
 and Vicinity

The Nulato district in my opinion, of iers greater opportunities for the agricul- turist and the hortculturist than for the miner" said ]. B. Howard, contractor and builder of Ruby Alaska, who is a guest at the Arlington hotel, in Seattle. The lands about Ruby are very fertile, and look for that country to develop into quite afrming district when better transporta- ton facilities are installed
 The above quotation was a short tune ago received by 8 mnier on Long creek from the Outside The gentleman was overJoyed by the receipt of the information contained in Towards interview, and being an un- selfish man, requested that it be published for the information of others engaged ln mining It is now up to the hundreds en- gagged in mining to quit taking out ecIa and go in for farming.
 The mineral belt which extends south from Ruby, gold being in her back yard, for more than hundred miles, went un- noticed by Howard but the agricultural value appealed to him from his cabin door
 The Ruby district last year produced over half a million dollars, and yet we are ad- vised that it offers greater opportunities to the farmer than the miner. And the Ruby district will produce million and half next year, and yet we are told to go to farming by this sage of wisdom Ie gods The salt air makes some men blind to conditions as they exist.
 Now, you miners take heed. Flow up your bedrock, discard the worthless geld and plant potatoes. cabbsges, corn, wheat, etc. and beautify the landscape with ge- raniums, American Beauty roses and pop pies. Heed we'll the words of wisdom"
 The following is another quotation taken from the interview given by MT, Howard, and is worthy of an Alaskan, and yet 1t Is hard to believe that the same man made both statements:
 "Sitxy eight years old, and l feel as though I can cross bats with the rest of you," he observed You can talk about your health resorts, but the earnest advice I would give to those in search of health and strength is this: Go to Alsaka. A per son going into Alaska from almost any other part of the world suffers practically no eli mstic changes Ruby Record Citizen.

Aitken and Ellis at Ruby

Thomas P Aitken and L. E. (Red) Ellis arrived in Ruby on Thursday from Iditarod. They travelled over the Poorman Cripple trail and have good word to say for the route over which they travelled. With an expenditure of say s1000 on this trail, it would be one of the best in Alaska" said Mr. Aitken, speaking of the cross-country trail between Ruby and Iditarod. "It is the logical mail route, covering as it does so rod"
 Messrs. Aitken and Ellis are headed for up-river points, and possibly for the Out side
