CIiILILE THE MUSh on.

Stefansson, the Arctic explorer comes
back from the region OF lcc and snow with
the proposal that the Arctic musk OK be
added 10 our list of domesticated animal
He SAYS il would be an important addition
TO our food supply and would produce a.
good wool for clothing as the domestic
sheep II would also constitute an animated
drug store or barber shop purvcying an
odor which is SAID 10 be all right once you
get used - it.
Naturally, it would be necessary to
have the musk OK stock farms some where
near the Arctic Circle. where the climate
is favorable for the growth Of wool and the
musk odor would not be so lingering
where the insect output is down to the
minimum and the cattle tick does not
abound Think Of the work that would
be involved in dipping herd Of Arctic
musk oxen for cattle tick
ON the whole We should be pleased over
