plant has been given the task of
handling heavy timber. Of these an
imals, however, the camel is the most
honored.
An eastern legend has it that the
camel was fashioned last by the Gre
?ator, and so it is held in high es-
TEEN by the people of the east. AL
though a somewhat unshapely and
perhaps a bad tempered animal the
camel is an untiring worker.
He will travel on for hour after
hour without appearing distressed in
any way, and on this account has
made a good name for itself. There
is not the least doubt that the camel
will come up to expectations wher-
ever it is employed in the present
conflict.
