RESULT or MRS. CHURCH'S
WORK

An Ardmore resident who has made
careful observation of this country
for several years states that within
the past two years that trucking and
poultry raising and the production
o; dairy products has increased 200
per cent. Ardmore is importing less
butter than formerly and more poul
try is being shipped frOm here. While
the dairy business is on the increase
there is yet boundless room for this
enterprise to grow.

SULPHUR'S OFFER

The city of sulphur, oklahoma 5
finest watering place and health re-
sort, has offered Carter county farm
club children camping privileges there
where they would have access to
creeks and swimming holes and the
most beautiful scenery with which
that city is blessed. On account Of
the distance Carter county might not
think well of the proposition and it
might look better for sulphur to
build a camp for its own farm club
and invite our people to come as their
guests. We would be glad to take
our live wire bunch up there and let
Murray county look us over.

FOREST RANGERS Use
FAST MOTOR BOATS
INSTEAD OF HORSES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-A forest
ranger who rides motor boat instead
of a horse would be novelty in the
Western states, but is the rule in the
Tongass National Forest, Alaska. In
a report TO the United States depart
ment of agriculture, of conditions
there, E. A. Sherman, associate fores-
ter writes as follows:
The Tongass National Forest is
completely equipped with an admir-
able system of waterways. Here, in
stead Of saddle and pack horse, the
ranger rides a seagoing motor boat
He guides his steed by means of a
wheel instead of reins; feeds it gaso
line instead of oats; tethers il al
night with an anchor in some shelter
ed cove instead of with a picket rope
in a mountain meadow, and uses the
paint brush in lieu of curry comb
Travel in Couples.
Rangers in that national forest trav
Ell in couples, two men to each motor
boat. The boat is a staunch, sea
worthy craft, 35 to 40 feet long, equip
ped with % horsepower engines, anC
with fully inclosed cabin and pilo
house. Except when they are at head
quarters or actually at work in the
woods, the rangers eat, sleep and live
on their boats.
Summer is the busiest season." Mr.
Sherman reports. Their day is no
an eight-hour day, but usually 16 o.
20-hour day, with only one man actual
ly on duty while the boat is running
The ranger is just as proud of hi
boat as the Bedouin horseman is o
his steed, and the ranger boats il

hold here, were scattered over the bot
tom of the box, but it contained moth
ing else.
At the moment, however, we had no
thought for the old chest, for our eyes
were riveted upon that which crouched
beside it 1t was the figure of a man,
clad in a suit of black, who squatted
down upon his hams with his forehead
sunk upon the edge of the box and his
two arms thrown out on each side OF
it. The attitude had drawn all the
stagnant blood TO the face, and no man
could have recognized that distorted
liver-colored countenance: but his
height, his dress, and his hair were all
sufficient to show my client. when We
had drawn the body up, that it was
indeed his missing butler. He had
been dead some days, but there was
no wound or bruise upon his person to
show how he had met his dreadful end
When his body had been carried from

| fronted with a problem which was al
most as formidable as that with
which we had started.

Oldest Crown Jewel is
English Magic SAPPHIRE

Only a few of the early British roy
al jewels survive in the present re-
gala. The oldest of these is the sap
ph1re of Edward the COnfessor, which
was originally set in his coronation
ring. 1t was in his shrine in Westmin-
ster Abbey, but in 1101 the shrine was
broken open and this and other jewels
received.
The sapphire is in the cross on the
top of the kings state crown. Legend
has it that ST John once appeared be

that the monarch gave him the ring
which was returned later. The stone
is reputed to have the power of curing
sciatica and rheumatism, but has not

VANCOUVER, Feb. g. British Columbia salmon. packers are anything but op tinistic about the future O. the salmon canning business at least for the season, 1921. and many prophecy that les: than fifty per cent of the oanneries will be operating his year.
 Irresponsible reports have oeen coming in for some lime from different sourcel hat the canners had sold al. except about 15O,OOO cases O. :hums and pinks and that .nese would be disposed of at n early date. An actual cal as of the market yesterday
 evealed that there are over 00,OOO cases of the lower ,rades of fish in cans in British Columbia, with nc prospect of moving any at n early date.
 While a few inquiries have
 cen received from the Euro can markets the majority of the canners think these re only feelers as no busi- less was done, and the latest eports From Great Britain Ire to the effect that the Japanese steamers have land d over 100000 cases of Sl-
 erian red salmon on the British market and are ask :ng prices on par with the Pacific Coast Sockeye'
 The report from the fish, buying circles of Britain are to the effect that as much ot this salmon is going into storage the wholesaler there who has an ample supply of sockeye on hand to run him several months is. going to ct the Japanese fish stand here until the price comes esS town to a level where it will be profitable for him to buy' t is contended by these buy ITS that the slightest panic n Japan would cause the Japanese to liquidate on the ;ish and it is expected that such unloading would have a a endency to drop the canned fish market in general. ,
 Breaking in high priced roods can clean the margin # profit off in a short time nd the tumble is hard, there ore the canners of British Columbia are loath to spend ,uch money on preparation for the 1921 canning season.
