Arena Cleaner: Bears and other an
imals always fly before prairie and
forest fires, and it is said they some
times get this far down when there are
big fires in the forests north of us.
Now, the bears can hardly be blamed
for being bears, and we cannot blame
them for getting out of their own
country when it gets too hot for them
there; but we could get along without
them here, because if true to their
bear nature they might do some dam
age. So if any of them are in sight
our friends will at least keep an eye
op them and see that they are not al
lowed too many privileges.
