Oxen are used extensively for pack­ ing In Venezuela mid Colombia. They are slow but sure and puck more than a heavy mule. An ox will navigate with a burden something near 400 pounds, as against 250 for a pack mule. They are also ridden In both countries. In Ecuador they raft live oxen, the process being as follows: They take a long dugout and lash poles across it and tie the horns o# four oxen to the end of each pole until about 32 oxen are In place; then they catch the tide going down the river and get an early start. Men stand In the canoe and prod the oxen and with the current they do about 12 miles per hour, usually arriving at the slaughter-house at Guayaquil In the early afternoon, having done 80 to 100 miles. They also bring them to the slaugh­ ter-house by small steumers from the coast ports. The way they are loaded Is by slipping a noose around the horns and pulling Mr. Ox up by the neck and the way they are unloaded Is by making them jump from the deck Into the water and swim ashore. This Is done at all the small ports of South America and In the river at Guayaquil.—Edgar Young, in Adven­ ture Magazine. Too Little Attention Paid to Advertising The newspapers of the country have built up the motion-picture industry. The advertising account o f the rall- rouds should give consideration to the newspapers when copy Is placed be­ cause these railroads are dependent and hope to live off the prosperity created and developed by the news­ papers o f that section. Cities and communities all along the Pacific coast are showing an Increas­ ing Interest In the possibilities of com­ munity advertising through newspa­ pers. Representative newspaper men from all parts of the coast have dis­ cussed plans whereby this service might be extended. The consensus was that this type o f advertising had been universally successful. Figures show that definite results were ob­ tained. Many an advertised commodity out­ strips its nonadverttsed rivals not alone because It becomes known, but because the advertiser, once his product Is Identified In the public mind, has a strong motive for main­ taining Its quality, as well as look­ ---------------+ --------------- ing for possible Improvements that The average amount o f absolute will constitute additional sales argu­ rest during a night’s sleep is only ments.
