It is the pioneers that give country its strength

that has been explored and used before. But the
methods differ. takes less moral courage to do
the pioneering of this day than it did in the old days
and often as great physical courage.
Justice has been done to the pioneer, IN the
worlds history Many have attempted to interpret the
romance of It, the sacrifice and the JOY, the
and the satisfactiOns but has got far be

Child nature" Of the worlds adventuTers without due
attention paid that element Of struggle invited and

him to Missouri before the railroads there He
had moved to Utah ahead of the railroads Then he had
come to El Paso before the railroads Then he went
into Mexico and of years drted to the

out 90 miles into the mountains to help found a
settlement. At the age Of rs he was undertaking

of seeing railroad train for the first time in his life
Such life has in it the elements of d strange new

In and around FL Paso there is still wealth of life
Of the pioneer sort. We are c!ose enough to real

gentleman. You are lost, Junior. But
don't be afraid, for I can take you

Junior opened the salt nag, ana

-Ah. that is just the trouble said
Uncle Wigglly. " on see, my dear boy
Junior, these are horse chestnuts. They

they are good for something. but
SQUIRRELS like yourself cannot eat

them
Neither one. Junior. They are
called horse chestnuts because they
are large. like a horse But they are
not good TO eat, so We may as well
throw them away Then you can
gather the good, little nuts in your
bag."
Uncle Wiggily was just going TO
toss aside the horse chestnuts which
Junior. not knowing any better. had
gathered. when. all at once, out from
the bushes jumped bad old fox
"Ah. Ia. Mr.. Longears.' barked the
fox. 7 think I have caught you this
time. You can't get away. for If You

The old rabbit gentleman went on
