In first line major ships, including battleships and battle cruisers the British navy on January 1, 1921, this information shows, numbered 32 vessels of S11,- 050 tons while the United States pos sessed 16 vessels of 435,750 tons and Japan 10 vessels of 2SS.32O tons.

APPLE BOX SITUATION.

Indications are that there will be a
shortage Of apple boxes next fall and
everyone who does not order early .s
likely to pay greatly increased price.
Every rancher, therefore, who can
ought to order now. The scramble
along about packing time will be one
il which price-boosting will be IA
prominent feature. There is nothing
to indicate lower price than that
now offered. There is but one chance
Of the price coming down. That is in
the event Of crop failure, which is
unlikely.
