 Few people can tell the meat from beef. They produce valuable wool as well as milk which does not differ much from that of the COW.
 ''The musk OK is so tame in the wild state that it is easily shot with a revolver and would be easily domesti- cated. It is a grass eating animal and the big plains of the north will support millions of these animals.
 "Jafet Lindeburg, of San Francisco. is already engaged in the shipment of reindeer meat to England. It would probably have been on the Sar Francisco market by this time sput for the lack of refrigerated ships to bring it here.

Washington, May 6.-Public debt of the United States Government was reported by the Treasury as $24,824,- S45, ,OOO.
 Most of this represents Liberty Bonds of the first, second, third anG- fourth issues, but the Victory L'b- erty Loan is not included to sn5 great extent. The addition of Victory Lean bonds will be large counterbal- anced by redemption of outstanding certificates of indebtedness.
 No deduction is made for the sS,- 852. 900. 900 loaned to foreign govern r'ents. Consequently the net debt would be approximately SIG, 6,OOO,OO0,- 900.
 The Treasury plans to issue other bonds later this year and next year to meet the flag ends of war ex- penses. In the aggregate these are not expected to exceed $5,OOO.OOO,- 900, so the gross public debt of the United States is expected to oe in the neighborhood of $30,OOO, 100000 when the period of war financing ends.
 The Treasury now has a working taalance of $1,O52, 100000, of which $657, 900 is on deposit with banks throughout the country on account of bills or certificates of indebtec- ness and Victory Liberty notes The Treasury holds $2,653, ,599,OO0 in gold, but a little more than half of tEis belongs to the gold settlement fund of the Federal Reserve Board

A smile for all to see;

Than she turned out to be.
Her figure neat and trinity clad,
Her hair that shone like gold
No wonder that folks stared at her
In manner somewhat bold.
For she was all alone. you see.
Her smile was coy and naive;
Her light blue eyes, give my word,

Left Aransas Pass Wednesday
Morning to Make Trip
Down the Beach.
NO news IS RECEIVED
Auto Is Being Sent Up From
Point to Locate Them.

The engineers who were scheduled
70 arrive at Point Isabel yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of making
depth measurements on the bar at
Brazos Santiago, did not make their
appearance, and at two O'clock this
afternoon they were still missing The
general opinion is they struck a soft
sand point and stuck the automobiles
which they were making the trip down
the coast of Padre island.
A party of about twenty Browns
vile men went TO the Point yesterday
afternoon with the expectation of
meeting the engineers, and several CT
them waited until quite late last night
hoping they would arrive, but no en-
gineers put in their appearance. A
message 10 Point Isabel from Aransas
Pass stated that the party had left
there at eight o'clock Wednesday
morning and expected to make the
trip Of little more than hundred
miles in a few hours. The beach of
Padre island has generally been con-
sidered an ideal roadway, but there
are a few strips of soft sand, and it
is thought their machines are stuck
at some point along the coast. Sports
men and fishermen from Aransas
Pass frequently make run of about
sixty miles down the coast of the
island TO take advantage of the fine
fishing, and as autos frequently pass
along that portion of the coast it is
thought the party is in the sand with
in forty miles of Point Isabel. An
auto party il reported to have left
the Point this afternoon for a run up
the coast In an attempt to locate the
party.
Padre island is not the most favor
ed spot in the world on which to be
marooned. II is long stretch of sand,
over hundred miles in length, with
out water or human habitation. 1t
Is not known whether the engineers
were equipped for night and day in
the open on the desolate stretches of
Padre island. and if they were not,
they will not find much pleasure in
their enforced absence from civiliza-
tion.
