Lapland, you know, is in the north
ern part Of Russia, and the people
there dress in furs and skins all the
time.
To 60 swiftly over the snow, they
wear big snow shoes. These are
strapped on the feet. and Lapland
boy skins along faster than any Of
you can skate.
But think Of it--they never tasted a
peach or a strawberry in their life. In
their cold home only few small trees
and brushes grow, There are no fruits
or vegetables, and the only food is the
flesh Of the reindeer and fish.
The houses are round huts with a
hole at the top to let the smoke out.
A Laplander's fortune is in his rein
deer, and his only business is the care
Of them. A little Lapland baby lies in
q cradle made Of wood. followed out
and filled with white moss. Pieces Of
leather are laced across the top, and

There are some squirrels in our
yard. One day watched them. They
would run, jump and stand on their
hind feet. Mother Squirrel has four
children. named them Peter, Patty,
Johnny and Jimmy Squirrel.
One time last fall Mrs. Squirrel went
after nuts, and played that she said
to her children, "Now, all OF you stay
in the house." Then she went. They
all meant to mind their mother but
Peter.
Peter said he was going after nuts.
The children said he shouldn't, but
he went anyway. After awhile he
came to a nut tree. He spied his
mother and tried to keep out OF her
sight, Mother Squirrel soon started
for home. Peter was scared. He
hurried home and got there just be-
fore his mother.
When she came in she looked at
him. He hung his head. Mother
Squirrel said to him, Peter, didn't you
60 out OF the houser Peter answered
"Ye--ye--yesl" "Why did you do it?''
was the next question she asked him.
He looked up at her. She repeated
her question. Then he said, with tears
in his eyes, "I-I--wanted to get a
whole lots Of nuts for myself
Mother looked at him.and he began
to cry. She said he couldn't 20 out
and play that day. The rest went and
had a good time. Peter decided he'd
do as his mother said the next time,

BETWEEN
BARTH AND GOVERNOR
HUNT Of ARIZONA AS
TO THE BIGGEST MAN
NEW MEXICAN HEAVYWEIGHT
HAS MOST PEP, IN JUDGMENT
OF AUDIENCE AT ST. JOHNS;
APACHE COUNTY STRONG FOR
UNCLE IKE

Senator Isaac Barth, Of Albuquer
que, now a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor Of New
Mexico, far outshone Governor Hum
Of Arizona at st. Johns, Ariz., last
Friday, according to the st. Johns
Observer Of last Saturday. The Art
iona executive and the Albuquerque
attorney and state senator visited St
Johns for the purpose Of distributing
10000 appropriated by the Arizona
legislature for the relief Of those who
suffered by the breaking Of the Lyman
dam there last year, and both made
speeches. Governor Hunt spoke first,
and, according to the Observer, the
audience dozed off during his "haran-
que" but Immediately came alive
when Barth took the platform, and
warmly appIauded his remarks.
Senator Barth was retained by the
Spanish-American settlers who suffer
ed by the breaking of the dam near
st. Johns. and he wal instrumental
in getting the $4,000 appropriation
through the Arizona legislature. He
originally claimed SOS, 900 for the set
tiers OF the total appropriated, $22,-
900 is to be devoted to the reconstruc-
ton Of the dam. Concerning the visit
Of Barth and Governor Hunt the OBJ
said:
Tin the evening an immense crowd
gathered at the academy and listened
to speeches by the governor and Sem
ator Barth. The latter Is slated to be
the next governor Of New Mexico
but as much cannot be said Of Mi.
Hunt in Arizona. Two terms is long
enough, even If there were not plenty
Of other good reasons. As a platform
speaker he is neither graceful nor
eloquent, and his persistent references
to his own glorious achievements
In bad form to say the least.
However, the crowd held tight for an
hour or so and then Mr.. Barth, the
big, jovia1 New Mexican, took the
stand and people who had dozed off
the harangue of the great and
governor came alive right now.
Senator Barth is an Apache county
product and the people are justly
proud of him. He made a stirring
title speech and was warmly applaud
3D."
