Fighting a Food
Shortage
• • /
• Cold weather came before my boav
er neighbors had laid in their food
supplies for' the winter, says a na-
turalist. A forest fire drove these out
of their old home, and they selected
a Ilew site o11 a stream not far from
my cabin: Along the stream was a
ragged growth of quaking aspens. The
beavers built a house of sticks, sod
and mud, and were working on a dam
. j when a trapper came into the region.
He broke the dam three or four timete.
When he finally left, autumn was half
gone, the dam that was to• 1110118 the
pond deep enough to prevent the
water from freezing to the bottom was
/ unfinished, and no food had been
stored.
Late in October I visited the new
wilderness home, One crew of log-
gers were cutting aspens. They had
cleared a trailway to drag the wood
through to the pond. The beavers
had not finished their harvesting
when a heavy fall of snow came, and
they were compelled to turn their at-
tention to a patch of aspens that was
only about sixty foot from the pond
but was 'separated from it by a thick
belt of spines and a confusion of fallen
spruce logs.
Tracks in the snow showed that
during one night five beavers had
wallowed out to the aspens and lead
felled and dragged several trees to
the pond; but wolves had pounced
on one of them while 11e was at worst,
and had overtaken and killed another
in the sleep snow, The wolves seeped
to realize the distress of the beavers,
and lurked about to seize the hunger-
driven animals, At that point in the

WE ARE IN, LUCK
THAT AIR IS FREE.
When the Steel Trust was organized
Andrew Carnegie remarked that the
common stock was not even water;
it was 'just air,"
This same "air" has become worth
something since then, [L' ,you want
any of it, you must pay for it at the
rate of $113 a share.
Ordinary air, thank goodness! has
not gone up in price. 1t, is about the
only thing that has not done so. Even
the automobile garages advertise
"free air."
This is really very fortunate, be-
cause we need air not oniy to breathe,
but also for fuel. We keep the house
warm in winter, and the range going,
by burning air.
You thought it was coal? Well,
that is necessary alsu, but the coat
would be of no use as fuel unless you
had air to burn with it.
You can't'burn one thing. Burning,
in kitchen range or furnace, means
the coaling together of the oxygen of
the air and the carbon of the coal.
They effect a chemical combination.
Theair is just as necessary to the
Y
1
process of combustion as the coal,
Our attenton is fixed upon coal as the
fuel for the sole reason that we have
to pay for it. If coal were free and
air cost money, we should look at the
matter from an opposite point of view.
Everything else is taxed nowadays.
Suppose tin government were to take
a notion to pet a tax on air, placing
an air -meter in each dwelling, Would
not that be horrible?
There has long been a tax on fresh
air in Germany, 1t is called a "win-
dow tax," being assessed according to
Um number of windows with which a
house is prevlded. Tho result is that
people economize on windows, reduc-
ing the 'number to a, minimum, and
their allowance of fresh air is there-
by cut down.
Air is nench heavier stuff than is
commonly imagined. Thirteen cubic,
feet of it weigh a pound. But it Is
lucky we are not obliged to store it,
litre coal, for it would'ta.ke up a lot
of room. One ton (2,000 1100000) of
air will fill a bin thirty feet long,
thirty feet wide and thirty feet high.
struggle the beavers decided to build
a tunnel. Beginning
at the bottom of
the pond near the shore, they dug
outward toward rho aspen grove. For
fifteen feet that subway' ran about
two feet under the surface, then it in-
clined upward, and calve out under- a
pine tree close to the aspens. They
built a dragway from the end of the
tunnel to the aspens and felled a num-
ber and worked them. through the
tunnel to the pond.
At last cold, ice, snow and fear of
enemies completely stopped the
beavers' harvest. Their food supply,
as seen through the cleat' ice, was
less than ono half the normal quantity
anis they began to burrow in the pond
for roots and bulbs. Again the cold
prevented their work, for the low
water froze to the bottom and shut
them off. They were not beaten, how-
ever. They dug a canal from their
house to the heart of the root area,
and kept it open, When the roots
gave out, they had to leave the pond
or starve. They tried to gnaw up
through the ice, and nearly succeed-
ed; but they discovered unfrozen
earth under the dam and tunneled
out to the channel of the stream.
Tracks of six )muddy -footed beavers
on the snow at the outer end of the
completed tunnel told the niunber
that survived that cold winter, 'They
lived in ]idles along the bank of the
stream 011til warns weather, when
they drifted away. Late the next
autumn six beavers carne back to the
pond and put it in shape for winter.
A new crutoh has a spring concealed
in the lower end to take up the shock
as it strikes the ground.
If some folks would use their
threshing machines earlier, the boys
would not have so many .wild oats to
harvest later on.

An Ode to Health.
Health in itself makes life a per-
petual joy.
Nothing daunts, nothing over -awes,
nothing discourages, and nothing over-
powers the man and woman possessed
of health.
Health means not only vigor, and
energy of the body, but also clarity
and strength of mind, purity of body
and of soul.
The healthy person dominates life,
instead of allowing life to dominate
him.'
He scarcely thinks of his body as
consisting of parts, or as performing
separate illnotions. To him the body
is but one harmonious whole,
He is a unit, a being, a mien; coin -
Mete, vigorous, perfect.
To such a man wort is joy. He re-
gards obstacles. as but opportunities
for testing his strength. IIe hardly
knows what weakness is. He never
experiences exhaustion. Merely to
grasp his hand is a pleasure. To gaze
into his eyes is a joy. To hear his
voice is to feel a thril pass over one,
To peer into his mince serves as a
stimulus to higher achievements.'
Health supplies, the courage, the
aggressiveness in life. Without
health one is bankrupt, regardless of
what his financial capacity may be.
Ile becomes a cipher in the world of
real men and women.
If you have health, then, friends,
cherish it, guard it and treasure it as
you treasure life, for out 0f it are the
issues of life,
Never Needs Winding.
