INDIANS SAY LIGHT
WINTER IS COMING

Duluth, Minn.-Northern Indians,
schooled in woodcraft,. through the
signs of stream and forest see kind
ly, softened winter and their labors
are thus lessened. They will not go to
any great shakes TO have their squaws
build warm wigwams, they say. The
Indians base their belief on the light
corn crop, the scarcity and laziness of
the squirrels at this time, when they
should be filling their tree caches. In
addition, the muskrats are dilatory in
building their habitations, the fur
bearing animals have thin coats now,
when they should be fitted out in their
thickest overcoats, and bark on trees
is loose.
