SQUARE RIGGER BURNS
Hard Lack Vessel Falls "FrOm Frying
Pan Into the Fire"

Houston, Tex, Jan. 22.-The four
masted barkentine. Frederick A. Dug
gan, seemed TO be the original hard luck
boat.
After having had two libel seizures
since its arrival in port a few weeks
ago. the barkentine caught fire about
s 80 o'clock Saturday. The flames
destroyed the fore deck, the bridge and
the foremost before they were extin-
guished by fire apparatus.
The loss occasioned by the fire is
placed roughly at around $1,000, a COM
plete survey of the damage not having
been made as yet.
The barkentine came here from the
Argentine, with a cargo Of bones for a
local chemical concern, and has been an
unusual figure along the water front,
square rugged vessels being distinctly a
novelty in Port Houston.

Quick
Quaker Oats
The Quickest. Cooking Oats
in the World

Now you get two things in
Quaker Oats which no other oats
can offer. You get a favor which
has won the world. All Quaker
Oats are faxed from queen
grains only-just the rich, plump,
favory oats.
And now there is Quick
Quaker - the understanding
oats in the world. 1t cooks in 3
to 5 minutes. ... .... ...e
Made from the same queen
grains, but the oats are cut be-
fore taking. They are rolled very
thin and partly cooked. So the
fakes are smaller and thinner
that is all. And those small thin
fakes cook quickly.
In either style you get the
finest flavor an oat dish ever had.
In Quick you get quick cooking.
Tell your grocer which style
you prefer.

Range Conditions Show Improvement

Denver.-The condition of ranges in
the seventeen western states on March
L shows Improvement compared with a
month ago throughout more than half
of this territory. but especially in the
central portion and in Texas, accord
ing to reports of the field statisticians
of the United States Division of Crop
and Live Stock Estimates. The condi-
ton for the entire states av-
RACES about the same as last month,
or Sc per cent of normal, the improve
ment being counterbalanced by a de-
cline in condition particularly in Wash
ington and California. In the latter
state the cold weather early in Febru-
airy succeeded by drying winds and
lack of rain have curtailed the growth
of grass somewhat. The spring pros
poets for ranges in Texas are reported
as the best in years, due to abundant
moisture; there is room here on the
range for more cattle, in some In
stances it being but one-half stocked.
General rains also greatly improved
the prospect for ranges in Arizona, IN
Guiding the desert lambing grounds of
Salt River valley. A good growth of
grass and weeds is starting through
cut most of the southern range states
The states which show an Improve
ment in range condition over that of
last month are North Dakota, Texas,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA, Utah, Nevada. Idaho and Oregon,
while those showing n decrease in CON
dition are South Dakota, Nebraska,
kansas, Oklahoma, Montana, washing
ton n California. The outlook for
spring grass In Colorado is quite favor
able n ranges are reported as SO,
compared with so a month ago, due
chiefly TO the good prospects where the
range Is covered with snow where the
range is not 81 covered, the grass Is
generally used up. Hay is scarce in
some sections although the mild open
winter las tended to conserve the sup
ply. Cattle and sheep continue In ex-
cellent condition, being reported as 0J

for the spring calf crop is good.
