No Trouble to Get
Duck Limit With
Well Trained Dog

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Richter and son,
Junior, and Mrs. II, Allison, were the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. George Will
liams for dinner and hunting over
Sunday. The Williams ranch is on
the Spring lake road and boasts one
of the finest duck ponds In that part
of the country. During the after
noon Wellington Templer and Jack
Auten, of the Acme Motor company
came out for a little shooting on the
Williams place.
The birds were plentiful and Jack
was apparently moving them down,
but when he tried to recover any OF
his kill they were nowhere to be-
found. Not until Drake, the Cheese
peak bird dog belonging to Williams
became careless did the automopile
men discover that the dog was re-
ttreaving their birds and putting
them in Mr.. Richter's pile.

Sharkey-Huff Bout
Finishes i'm DralU

Describing Friday nights boxing
bout at Medford, the Mail Tribune
sporting writer says:
"The main attraction, the min
between Billy Huff Of klamath
Falls and Tom Sharkey Of Medford,
went the full ten rounds to a draw
I'd although developing some in
teresting moments was more or less
a ding-dong affair. Sharkey had
about 20 pounds the best Of Huff
in weight and for that reason ap-
parently Huff was very cautious.
Sharkey took the fighting to Huff
most of the way, but was little in
clined to swap punches, preferring
to cover up when the going got
rough. There was considerable hold
ing and but little punishment ad-
ministered.
"Sharkey fell through the ropes
at one juncture much to the delight
of klamath fight fans present"

CHARITY

Perhaps my faith is Ike my race
An accident Of birth.
Determined only by tho place,
Where first cane to earth.
So for the faiths for every land,
Though many they may be,
II some ] cannot understand,
Lord, give me charity.
The faith my fathers died to keep
The quest for God and life,
Took them DER mountains high and
steep: u.
Through struggle, stress and
strife.
They served their God a. they
knew how.
In fashion strange TO me:
But II ! cannot take their vow,
Lord, give me charity.
And II my neighbors 90 to church
To learn q different creed;
For God In other ways to search,
And seek the help they need;
Although their forms to me seem
odd,
Their ways too far to sec,
II through their prayers they come
to God,
Lord, give me charity!
Had been born meath China's
skies,
To ancestors I'd pray;
Had India met my op'ning eyes
I'd bow to Brahma's sway.
The creed ! hold derives It's plan
From where I chance to be. :.
So when judge my fellow-man,
Lord, give me charity!

Friends Of the two boxers have
talked over their good points and

how the X. o. can be slipped in and
Just when II will occur. Some OF
Huffs friends say that Ross will put

better watch his guard very closely"
Huff told some OF Ross best friends.

remarks OF my friends to heart, well
some OF his boosters have not been

The natives of many foreign coun.
tries sit down 10 tables spread with
fine American cutlery. During the
past year exports of American table
cutlery amounted to S2.30O,0OO. In
Europe Norway was the best custom
err OF our cutlery industry with pur-
chases totaling $4,000. while such
n comparatively small market as Den
mark was able TO take table cutlery
up TO the value of $4,000. But the
most important markets for United
States table cutlery are now found
In the two American continents. The
biggest purchaser Of table cutlery is
Brazil, with a total requirement of
s524.000 during the last year. 1t was
followed by Argentina with a purchase
totaiing S2s9,OO0. while Chile and Cuba
each took fur In excess of S1OO, 900 and
Mexico was Just touching the 100000
line. This growth Of the foreign de.
mand for American table cutlery
shows best the great progress that
has been made in the manufacture OF
bigh-class cutlery In the United States.
The table cutlery business Of the world
was In the past practically the domain
OF European producers.
