Sea otters.

Prohibition of the killing Of sea
offers in Alaskan waters has been ex-
tended by the secretary Of commerce
to November /, 1925. 1t is hoped that
in the meantime this valuable fur
bearing species, which was pursued
almost to determination, will gain
somewhat In numbers.
The fur of the sea otter is the most
beautiful and most costly of all pelt-
ries. Long before the discovery of
America the mighty tycoons of Japan
clothed themselves with its simmer
ing velvet. Early explorers found the
natives of the Aleutian islands and
the Puget sound region commonly
wearing sea otter cloaks, which they
parted with for a trifle.

NOVEL HOUSES Of WORSHIP
Ono Missionary to Eskimos Made Use
Of Sealskins and Another En-
ployed Only Snow.

One of the queerest churches ever
known was built by a missionary on
Blackhead island, in Cumberland
sound. Finding that the Eskimos had
no place in which they could meet
for religious services, the missionary
started to build a church of the skins
of seals. nc wood being available. The
skins were sewn together and
stretched over "girders" of whalebone,
empty provision tins serving as seats.
The cold at one time became SO
severe that for many days the Eski-
mos Of Blacklead island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi-
flee and began consuming it, with the
result that when morning came there
was not a skin left, the whalebone
ribs alone remaining to show that
there had ever been a church.
Another missionary in charge Of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe,
built his church entirely of snow.
Seat. pulpit, altar and interior equip
ment were made Of snow, and in the
matter Of warmth no stone-built
church could beat 1t.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS EATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood IN the Mucous Surfaces
Of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

Laugh and Joke as They Die.

Ossining, May 27.-Walter Levan-

to death ia the electric chair at Sing
Sing prison tonight within a few min
utes after II o'clock. Both died
without a sign of nervousness. Each
spoke a few words from the chair be-
fore the current stopped their voices

it struck the witnesses that they had

brought to Sing Sing from the noun

killed a keeper in attempting to es-

Levandowski was the first to die.
While he was being strapped in the
chair he said: Il am going over the

was dead.

Improving Corn in Dillon.

The extract below from a recent
report Of S. w. Epps, County Agent
of Dillon County, Clemson's Weekly
News Notes, is an illustration Of the
way in which a county agent renders
inestimable service to his county, and
it is at the same time good boost
for Boys Club Work.
Two years ago we got about ten
bushels of Pee Dee No. corn, which
we thought to be the best variety Of
corn for this section This ten bush
els of seed was pretty well scattered
over the entire county. The yield at
the end of the session was very salts
factory, showing an increase in yield
from ten per cent to as high as fifty
per cent. Here is where the work
of the Boys Corn Club played a very
important part. One farmer says that
when his boy joined the club hye
years ago he was making ten bushels
of corn per acre. After watching his
boy and following the instructions
given the boy for his acre he had been
able to increase his yield, in three
years, from ten bushels per acre to
twenty bushels.
1.-TWO years ago this same farmers
son planted pure seed on his acre,
and his father was SO well pleased
with the yield that he planted his
whole crop last year from corn grown
on this acre, and says now that he
made an average of about forty bush
els per acre on his whole farm.
Last year we planted, over the
county, something over a hundred
bushels of this variety Of corn, and
this year we bought all the seed we
could get from the Pee Dee Expert
ment Station, and besides a large
number of farmers had saved their
own seed"
