open season for hunting and fishing,
and each year the sportsmen anxious

States; and now we are being told of
the dangers that surround US because
of the big Germany, which country we
have tiled" if not passed. Washing
ton has it's thumb on the date of this
open season, and the rest of the coun-

Reindeer That Santa Claus Made
Famous.

Famous.
There is an explanation on the
growth of conviction in the Santa
Claus story found in the fact that 3d.
600 domestic reindeer remain in Alas
ka The United States government,
which has finally discovered this
country upon its map, has turned at
tention to the reindeer as an agricul-
tural proposition, and is advoca ting
stringent methods of preventing the
destruction of these animals. There
have been instances of crossbreeding
the domestic reindeer and the native
wild caribou. 1t is found that the
blood of the later can be used to good
advantage in building up the reindeer
herds The domestic deer seem to
have decreased in size and other ways
because of the lack of careful selection
in breeding. The caribou are superior
in size and are not so wild as to make
their domestication impracticable.
The people in agriculture Department
who have determined this are suspect
ed of having based their conclusions
upon early experiences with tame
deer in Missouri and Iowa back yards.
1t has been found that the meat of the
reindeer is of excellent quality. and
the skins are of great value. We learn
that the European deer is used for
dairy and transportation purposes,
yet little attempt has so far been
made in our own country in this line.
The customs of different countries are
interesting, and the case in point was
illustrated in a present lecture by
Madam Montford of Palestine, at a
Masonic gathering in Washington.
She raiated how the shepherds of Jeru-
salem drank the milk of sheep, and
said that in her girlhoOd days she had
been almost brought up on it," She
declared it to be as nutritious and pal
atable as cows milk. Yet in the
United States no one ever heard of
drinking sleeps milk. And here
there is no driving of reindeer, except
when Santa Claus used it in prefer
ence to later-day airships, which have
proven far more feasible than ever
the fleet foot reindeer, inasmuch as
the country now has so large num-
Der of chimneys; and these can be
more easily reached by airships than
by reindeers that stub their toes over
housetops and shingles.
