A SCORE OF YEARS
OF ACHIEVEMENT

In April, 1902 = twenty
years ago-the doors Of the
first J. c. Penney Company
store were thrown open to
the public.
The moment signalized
a march of progression that
has had no equal in the an
mails of departmental store
keeping.
From that one store has
grown 312 stores; a total
business the first year of APP
proXimately $4,000 has ex-
banded to $46,641,928 last
year.
This wonderful growth,
born of keeping faith with
a generous public, is but
forerunner of greater
achievements to come.
In the coming Summer
and Fall we shall add more
than so new stores to our
ever-lengthening chain.

DIG DEEP TO lRRicATE

The Cape Town correspondent o.
the London Times says. the story Of
30 months strenuous labor by two
brothers to bring water from the
Great Fish river to their farm in the
Somerset East district is one of the
farming romances Of South Africa.
The brothers, who are Dutch and
formerly were Rand miners, pierced,
without government or other profess
sional help, tunnel 1850 feet long,
5 feet high and Z feet wide through
a solid rock ridge which cut off the
farm from the river. When the
workers approached each other from
opposite ends of the tunnel, there
was a discrepancy of only few
inches.
The. brothers also built 120-foot
weir across the river and a 36-inch
siphon 200 feet long through the
river. The scheme will irrigate s.
900 acres of rich soil.

HIDDEN FOR SEVENTY YEARS
Birch Bark Cached by Trsppers in
the States Early Days Found
Recently in Washington.

A cache Of birch bark bidder
since 1860, near the site Of an ole
fur-trading post, was uncovered BY
the Columbia river undermining a
huge sand bank, says a dispatch
from Deep River, Wash.
Seventy years ago, when North
west fur companies were engaged in
fierce competition over the rich otter
and beaver pelts of the north Pa
clfic coast, many trappers came from
Canada and the Great Lakes region.
They generally preferred birch
bark canoes to cedar dugouts and
lest birch Of good quality should not
be found on the rivers of the west
ern slope, some had stock shipped
from Montreal to London, thence to
Astoria, Ore.
To prevent the valued canoe ma
terial from falling into the hands
of competing fur traders, the Asto-
ria people sent it up the river by
relays, at each step burying it from
sight. This historic specimen of
trapping days here will be con-
signed to the state museum.

THANK YOU" THEIR GREETING
Children of Unhappy Russia Taught
to Say "spotsiba" to Americans
in Famine Districts.

A thing to remember is that
Alexejewska is only one among
many villages in the Samara dis
trict in which the American relief
administration is conducting feed
ing operations, but they are SO much
alike that having seen one of them
you really have seen them all.
We arrived just as the little
people were finishing their midday
meal Of corn grits with sugar and
milk and bread and cocoa, and as
they fled out past us on their way
back to their homes each one of
them made d little curtsy and said
"Spotsiba," which means "thank
YOU"
Our little Russians everywhere
are always saying this to us. I have
actually met children on the street
in Moscow who have curtsied to me
and said "Spotsibap One supposes
their parents teach them that they
must never pass an American with
out saying thank YOU It is rather
pathetic and was always to me ex-
ceedingly embarrassing. Eleanor
Franklin Egan in the Saturday Eve
ming Post.

POLLING THE BIRDS

When the United States forest
service began its work of reforesta-
ton, scattering tree seeds in wood
lands thinned by hmbermen, SO
many seeds were eaten by birds and
and ehipmunks that few trees
sprouted.
But now, says the Popular Sci
enee Monthly, the seeds are treated
with red lead in way that makes
them inedible without detracting
from their vitality The seeds are
spread on canvas strips and thor
oughly mixed with finely divided
red lead, which clings to them, so
that animals and birds leave them
alone.

PLANTS SHOW ORE DEPOSITS
Fact Has Long Been Known That
They Reveal Different Kinds OF
Underground Minerals.

IT has been known for long time
that certain plants indicate the pres
ence OF minerals underground. In
the proceedings of the Australian
Mining institute, e. Lidgely has
summarized several remarkable ex-
amples where beds Of ore were re-
yealed by plants growing ON the sur
face above, says the Scientific Amer
lean. The Amorpha canescens
shrub indicates the presence of ga
lena, the lead sulfde ore, in Alichi-
gan and Wisconsin, while in Mis-
souri, plant belonging to the poi
son sumach family serves the same
purpose, as lead ore Indicator.
Beech trees often indicate that lime
stone beds are to be found in the
neighborhood.
In Spain sort of bindweed,
known as conyolyulus althaeoides, is
deemed of high value in betraying
the presence OF underlying deposits
of phosphate ore. The plant erigo-
mum oyalifolium discloses the exist
ence of silver ores in Montana. The
calamine violet, which grows in Up
per Silesia, Westphalia and Bel
gium, is sign of the existence of
calamine, the zinc ore, in the neigh
borhood.
Near the city of Siegen in Vest
phalia the presence Of iron ore de-
posits over considerable acreage is |
indicated by the fact that the sur
face of the earth is covered with |
birch trees, while the ground sur
rounding this section on all sides
bears only oak and beech trees.

stepped from their rude canoes to
the banks Of what today is the De-

which was to become one of the
greatest of the continent. That fact

CARTOONIST TO BEH0N0RED BY
 0REC0NIANS

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 5.-Oregon resi- dents are raising funds for the erec- tion of monument over the grave of Homer Davenport, noted cartoonist, who was buried at his birthplace, Silverton, Ore, near here nine years ago at the age of forty-three years
 Davenport was raised at Silverton, knew everyone for miles around and went from that little town to San Francisco where his work first gained fame.
 Old timers of Silverton still talk of Homer Davenport as a boy. He had ear marks of genius from the start, they say.
 Most of the boys time in school was spent in drawing pictures of the teacher. No matter how valuable a book was, Davenport usually found ample room on the fly leaf for a picture. These books are cherished belongings today.
 No one had taken Davenports drawings seriously until cousin of his came from Chicago and while he sat visiting, the boy drew his pie ture The cousin was delighted and prevailed upon the elder Davenport who had always expressed more faith in Home than anyone else to send his son to an art school in San Francisco. Soon young, Homer was on the staff of San Francisco daily and it was but another step to New York.
 Davenport never forgot Oregon or Silverton. One time, it is said, he was sent to interview Gladstone, England's great statesman After getting by a cordon of guards, Dav- enport found Gladstone in his gar dens. The statesman asked Daven- port his name and where he was from
 "Silverton, Oregon" was the reply.
 Gladstone got map, looked up Silverton and then made his visitor welcome, later inviting him to call again.

C0BLENZ TAKING ON AMERICAN
 ASPECT

COBLENZ, Jan. 5.-Little by little, Coblenz has been taking on an American aspect, with will anl a smile in some respects, but reluc- tantly and with a frown so far as most of the German population is concerned. The recent formalities of peace apparently did not make a particle of difference either way. Some of the bitterness the Germans showed when the American army marched into Coblenze December 8, nearly three years ago. has subsided.
 Coblenz now is one of the liveliest little cities of central, western Flu rope. Not for the Americans alone, nor the English, French and Bel gians but for the Germans, too, and the blinds in the German homes, which were drawn in resentment at the coming of the Americans, have all been raised, regardless of wheth- CT the occupants like or disapprove of the occupation forces, and busi- ness has thrived to such an extent that many a Coblenz merchant has put aside a snug little fortune, as fortunes go in Germany.
 American civilians have been pour ing into the occupied area for the past two years and a half, thousands for sightseeing purposes and others on business missions which have kept them here. Then various of- ficers and enlisted men have left the army from time to time to enter business of some kind, and gradual ly the American colony on the Rhine has grown until today it is estimated there are something like 2,OOO civ ilians from the UnitedA States scat tered about the Coblenze area.
 There are American stores" all about town but all of them are not owned by Americans American-made goods are on sale at half the down. town shops, and English spok en here" greets shoppers in all the prin- cipal streets. At the news stands about town the Amaroc News, which is the daily newspaper of the Ameri- can Forces in Germany, is on sale as we'll as daily newspapers from New York and Chicago
 In the streets, during the shopping hours, nearly as much English as German is heard. An American feels quite at home in Coblenz half an hour after he arrives.

More Money For
 Mexican Schools

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 5-Less will be spent by the Mexican government in 1922 for the army and more for schools than ever before. The army budget for 1922 calls for $124,3S3, ,859, or more than $3O,OOo,0oo less than the 1921 budget. The estimate is based on standing army of 5O,0O0 men, to which strength the various units are now being rapidly reduced.
 The 1922 budget includes an appro priation of s1,ooo,oC0 for the develop ment of aviation
 The appropriation for schools is $50, ,0OO, ,OOO.
