it. Then near the hills the black bears
imagine each pole contains Il swarm Of bees
and they climb to the top and chew the

storms are the things that create the most
havoc. When the winds blow strongly
the sand is drifted at a rapid rate and the
grains cut away the wood at Il fearful rate
1t was 4 common thing to have an oak pole

cided to substitute steel poles for the oak
and cedar but that didn t remedy the evil
al all The sand just wore away the
metal on each side Of the pole until the
center was as sharp as Il razor, and all the
Indians used to shave themselves on the
edge. We finally managed to fix things

The pitch caught the sand. and now every
