Dear Editor and all it may concern:
I .will now endeavor to write you a
few lines and in order to keep my prom-

beautiful Sunday morning, May 4th,
Of course we stopped at many small
towns in route from Oklahome City
through Oklahoma and Arkansas on the
Rock Island railroad to Memphis, Tenn.,
then took the Illinois Central railroad
from Memphis to New Orleans. We
kinds of cargo freight We have seen
many forests of pine trees and several
different kinds of palm and cocoanut
trees, and -many small farms of bananas
growing. We have seen many beautiful
mountains, lakes, rivers, trees, flowers
and fruits, we know not their names.
Our voyage has been a wonderful ex-
perience to all of us, and we have seen
and learned muny things we had never
dreamed of before. Even the big fishes
of the sea are a sight to behold. All
these things we have seen and learned
were on a fast train going from Mem- j about have to be seen to be appreciated

capitals and county seats. We passed greatest pieces of work ever achieved,
through five states and their capitals, It sure has- to be seen to be appreciated.;

a recent sunn shown that more^han 5,000,000 farms in this country pro.) -Mr and Mrs John Carrier and
duce poultry and*eggs It is estimated that there were 491,000,000 chickens on little son visited at Ellis Hender-
farms before the hatching season started. This is an increase of over 50,000,-!

Production of eggs increased 33.3 tier cent between 1920 and 1923 while the
population increased only 5.3 per cent. In the past five years the estimates of
egg production huve shown a close correlation with the estimated number ot
chickens on hand at the beginning of the year, the ratio being 4.0 dozens per
fowl. If the same ratio holds good, egg production In 1924 will gain 10 to 12 j
per cent over 1923 when it showed a gain of 33 per cent over four years ago. I
Profitable poultry production at the present stage of expansion is dependent Saturday of the death of a broth-
upon the present high level of demand. Up to date consumption has kept pace
with production. In 1923 enough eggs were produced to furnish 20 dozen nil

|j son's Saturday.
Mr and Mrs John Askren and
little daughter are visiting at the
home of Joen’s parents near Vas-
sor.
W. H. Carrier received word
are liked by all for they treat ail with
so much respect and courtesy. We ar-
rived at New Orleans about 9 p. m. on
May 5; stayed at the Orleans Hotel,
was there two days and nights, then
went on board one of the United Fruit
steamship company boats called the
Abangarez, of New York. We were 45
hours sailing from New Orleans to Ha-
vana, Cuba. We arrived at Havana
about 9 o’clock on the morning of May
9th. Oh, yes, I forgot to say we cross-
ed the lake of Ponchatrain about an
hour before we arrived at New Orleans.
We laid over five days at Havana, stay
at Brooklyn Hotel, all of our party.
We left Havana Tuesday, May 13th,
arrived at the Panama Canal about 6
o’clock on the morning of May 17th,
took about all day going through the
Canal. We stopped at Colon, Cristobal,
Panama, and Balboa, We left Balboa
about 4 o'clock in the morning of May
18th, then sailed out at sea out of sight
of any land. It was rather warm while
going through the Panama Canal and
while we were sailing on the Gulf of
Panama and then after leaving the wat-
ers of the Gulf of Panama, we sailed out
at sea again. About two days before
we crossad the Equator it began to get
cooler, so to my surprise, when we en-
tered the Equatoral current, that is the
cold currents of water that comes from
the South Pole and striking the warm
currents of the Equator, making the air
and talked with us. I asked one soldier
if he knew a young fellow by the name
of Parks that was formerly from Coyle,
Okla., you all know Leonard Parks’ son,
and he said yes, hewasin the same com-
pany. I have forgotten the soldier’s
name that tola me. They sure were
glad to see us, and especially those of us
who are from the States. We don’t get
lonesome for there is all kinds of music
also dances for past time and all kinds
of games. So we have lots of company
and don’t think about getting lonesome.
One can learn many things on the ship
for they are coming into new ports of
different countries and different people.
See lots of strange things at every port.
One can learn so much more traveling
on the different ships than can he learn-
ed by traveling on the trains and then
it is so much cleaner on the ship than
on the train for there never is any dust
blowing or smoke or cinders to get into
your eyes. You don’t hardly know you
are traveling on the ship for I am here
writing in the writing room with (he
bottle of ink open and you can’t see the
ink move in the bottle and the ship is
going at the rate of 20 miles an hour.
Well we are at sea again. They have a
libary of books of all kinds, some read
to pass away the time, others walks the
deck, some sing, some dance, anything
to pass away the* time. Weil the old
3hip is plowing ner way through the
briney waters of the Pacific ocean. We

was so cool that many person: put on
their heavier clothing for a coat made
oue Ie> 1 more comfortable while we were
crossing the Equator. We have travel-
ed several thousand miles, nothing came
into view, only the broad waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans were before
us. We have traveled lor days and
nothing could be seen but the deep blue
sea in every direction. We have sailed
by many islands, lakes and rivers and
seen many beautiful trees, flowers and !
west coast ol South America. This ship
we are on is a very beautilul ship called
the R. M S. ship Oroya, meaning Roy a*
Mail Steamship. She is a English shfp
about 700 ft. long and about 100 ft.
wide. There is about 800 people on
board including the ships crew and all
passengers. She is about as high as a 5
or 6 story building would be and cost
about $3,000,000 to build and equip her
ready for sailing. She is driven by two
powerful engines that has a horse power
of about 5000. So you tee they are
and ! mighty engines. This ship is a floating
green grass that was a pleasing sight to ^ palace to some of them for she is equip-
our eyes. At all times the sea was calm pgd with the most modern devices. She
and it was fine sailing. For just a short
time the wind came up a little and made
the old ship rock just enough to make
some of us a little dizzy and some never
got dizzy at all. But that dizziness
lasted only a short time Jtnd no one was
to say sick. All are well ard have en-1
Joyed our voyage fine. We have had a
fine sea so far. We passed not far from
the spot where the noted character of
Balboa, in years gone by, discovered
the Pacific ocean. We have seen and
passed many interesting things on our
voyage. We have a fine bunch of folks
in our party and all are pleased with the
manner in which Col. Wm. H. Murray
has conducted the business end of our
party. We arrived at Callao, Perue, at
9 a. m., Thursday, May 22nd, stayed
two days and one night in the harbor at
thia place. It is a fine harbor. Several
went ashore whi’e we were here; I did
not go. Our ship weighod anchor about
£ mile out from the shore. There were
several hundred boats in the harbor,
big and little and many ships were an-
chored there, unloading and loading up
cargo of different kinds. I saw about
1000 head of hogs being unloaded from
one ship and about 400 head of cattle,
besides thousands of tons of different
is a new ship, has just been out a year
and this is her sixth voyage. She has
the most up-to-date dining room, toilets
and bath and all state rooms or cabins
have electric fans and toilets, and they
have an up-to-date light plant that fur-
nishes good and convenient lights for
every part of the ship. It also has a
modern ice plant and a milk plant so
they can make what milk they need.
We can have anything we want to eat.
we have tea at 7 a. m., breakfast at 8:30,
ice cream at 11 a. m., luncheon at 11:30,
tea again at 4 p. m., dinner at 6, supper
at 10 o’clock for those who are up.
They serve sandwiches so you see we get
plenty to eat. My the time does fly on
the ship. It don’t seem like it has been
more than two weeks since 1 left Coyle
and it has been over a month for I left
Coyle oa the 12th of April and today is
the 25th of May. We all feel better
since we have been on the ship and get
this service for 45 years. He knows
every foot of the ocean and gulfs. He
stays on the bridge and gives orders to
all the ships crew. The sea captains are
the monarehs of the sea. The name of
the captain of this ship is Alf. Chitten-
den, D. S. C., which means Distinguish
Service Conduct. He is a fine man with
a world of experience. They tell me
that this will be his last voyage for the
service of the English Government, for
he will retire from this service when this
ship returns to Liverpool. They say
this ship will go as far south as Coronel,
Chili.
