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

Do you know that statuary suf

Just the same as human faces

which have Just come to hand
concerning the accomplishments
of Thomas H. Bleakney, techni

he Is filling the role of beauty

some of the marvels wrought by
beauty parlors. Under his deft

their senility and bloom again In

Old .age works Its ravages on

Eternity, time without beginning, time with out end
And endless space are terms we do not comprehend.
W e know not whence or whither
Or fo r what purpose we are here.
W e believe so much, but know so little
O f earth and wave and atmosphere.
W e see the sun, so warm and bright
The moon to give us light at night,
But little we know o f moon and sun
When they were made or the world begun.
Nine hundred miles per hour we circle around
Still twenty times faster with the sun w e’re bound,
On a journey we kno not where, through space
W e seem not to mind this fearsome race.
What keeps us on unerring course
Unless it’s o f divinely source?
It gives us the seasons o f the year
The fruits o f labor to give us cheer.
The power and wisdom we esteem
Belongs to Natures God Supreme.
Invisible is God, but we must obey
His laws o f Nature and His way.
Why look fo r Him up in the sky
When h» is present in You and I.
Your spirit being divine, why fear death
It can not die with your last breath,
It surely will come back again
Creation is one long endless chain
W e can not see the life in egg or seed
To develop and grow according to breed,
His presence, no matter how obscure
Is essential fo r life to mature.
Thousands o f atoms can sport and spin
With lots o f room on the point o f a pin,
Invissible are the scent atoms o f violet or rose
That fleat in the air to please the nose.
I f we take the pains we can trace
Ever His presence, there is no empty space.
Thus we find great things and small
In the universe and on this terrestrial ball.
