HIS CURIOUS METHOD OF USING THE SAME AIR

The beaver is really sort of portable pulp

'One of the queerest facts about the beaver
is the rapidity with which his long. chisel

known beavers to break their teeth in biting Il

afterward you couldn't see a sign of the break
the teeth had grown out to their former per

AS compared with the otter or mink the
beaver is a very slow swimmer. His front legs
hang by his sides. and he uses only his webbei
hind feet for purposes of swimming 1t is easy
to capture one in a canoe if you find him
in shoal water. He is most determined fighter.

The place to grab him is by the tail
THE ability OF a beaver to remain under
water for a long time is really not so tough Il
problem as it looks. When the lake pond is
frozen over beaver will come to the und

it will form wide. fiat bubble. The air. coming
in contact with the ice and water is purified

ton he can repeat several times. The otter and
muSkrat do the same thing.

The council did not hold a lengthy

of a public bathing place that will be
safe for children. The council took

A "BUMPER" CROP.
Continuation of the Presen Weather Is
All Thai is Needed.


Geo. M. Palmer took a drive through
the country day or two ago, and has
interviewed number of farmers and
received reports regarding the crops.
He finds that at the present time the
crops of all kinds are in prime condi-
ton. They could scarcely be in better
shape. Corn has advanced wonderfully
and is no longer backward. One far
mer said that his corn has grown two
feet in the past week.
Wheat will not be ready to cut for
three weeks, or at the shortest not be-
fore two weeks from Monday. which
will be the week after the carnival 1t
has not yet begun to turn, but is still
in the milk. What it needs is weather
just like today until it has been har-
vested. Dry and cool weather will
make the wheat crop in this section a
bumper" crop.
The cutting of rye has begun and
will be completed in a few days. The
crop is good one. The barley harvest
will begin next week. That crop is
also good one. There is very little
fax being raised this year.
