sBilly Beaver" said Daddy, wanted
to build a new home for Mrs. Beaver.
"sYou know, my DEAR Billy Beaver
had said, I'VE want to be in the fashion
and move. It's the time of moving
everyone moves nowadays. To stay
in the same home for long, long
time is not considered fashionable
"sDear me, what smart, up-to-date
beaver you are said Mrs. Beaver
proudly.
"'Thank you,' replied Billy Beaver.
"eBut it's really only in the big
cities where they move so much said
Mrs. Beaver. I've heard some OF the
men talking who were trying to catch
the beaver cousins
"sYes,' said Billy, st is in the big
city. or in any big city I should say,
that folks move all the time. In the
country they have the same dear old
homes for many years.
"sWell, maybe said Mrs. Beaver,
they have new dear homes in the
Cities
Maybe said Billy. But you know
how many of the same people we hear
about us all the time? That is be-
cause they don't move

$50 Billy Beaver and Mrs. Beaver
had a nice meal of Lockwood before
they set to work on their new home.
s'Billy Beaver is one of the hardest
working animals there is. And he set
right to his job.
.sFirst he made use of some nice
country land and a brook. He used
the sticks which were left after he
had eaten the bark of the wood, and
he began to make dam.
'sYou know the beavers are famous
for building dams, canals and all
things built with water, land and
sticks.
.Billy made the dam out of some
good mud and he carried it himself to
the spot where he was building, carry
ing it always between his paws and
holding it close to him SO as not to
lose it as he swan along
'Then he worked over the mud,
making it just the height and width he
wanted, and using the sticks too. And
then he made a fine deep brookler,
which he used as a private driveway
to his new home.
"He made handsome home and Mrs.
Beaver thought it was beautiful. He
swan around, using his tail to help
him go, and asking Mrs. Beaver if she
liked it.
.Of course she had to say over and
over again that she thought it was a
beautiful home and Billy was finally
quite sure she liked it.

home I Make said Billy, under the

Iaor1cs may be used, but wool will be used as
long as 1T is possible to secure 1t for the fighting

Aside from the tremendous demand for wool
for warriors, which has been responsible for the
present shortage, and which has brought the
wool shortage down to hand-and-mouth PROPOSE
ton, there is shortage in production Australia,
chief among wool-producing countries, is nearly
20 per cent short of her normal sheep supply be-
cause of a drought that killed sheep by the tens
of thousands. But this country still has twice as
many sheep as we have in the United States.

"'Do they have many VISITORS? asked
Mrs. Beaver.
YES said Billy, they have guests
all the time who come to call on them
and who make remarks about them.
The visitors know the beavers are
hard workers and they stand waiting
to see the beavers work.
But the beavers will not work
while people do nothing and just
watch them! They think that is very
wrong. They do not think folks should
be watching them work-they think
that folks should be home working

greatest competitor, cot

SWEDEN NEEDS OUR FOOD
TO ESCAPE STARVATION

The formers labor and credit problems
were discussed by Prof \. II. Grantham, Of
Delaware College, who pointed out o present
shortage of labor on the farm and predicted
a more acute shortage next year on account
of the withdrawal of drafted men. He said
however, that the country does not suffer at
present so much from lack of labor as from
its distribution.
To cure this difficulty. he suggested each
State. as the best unit for localizng and dis
tributing labor. should work out plans for
cooperation between it's industrial concerns
and its farmers. Ohos plan of establishing
free employment agencies whereby idle men
in cities were sent to farms where they wre
needed was praised

would be taken away from the babies

FREE HAND IN RUSSIA

the voice OF all Russia spoke to him in this
great demonstration.
II Korniloff thought at all about the silent
30o. he thought they were a minority. He
was wrong. They represented the armed
citizens Of Russia, the majority. Every
man of the 900 had been elected by the
votes of thousands Of soldiers at the front
and By workers throughout the nation.
To them Korniloff represented everything
In Russia that they had overthrown by the
revoution--the cold power of military force.
Yet Kornioff disdained to look at them In
his ears there resounded the sweet sound Of
200 wildly ,acclaiming delegates and he
forgot the chorus was not Joined in by the
grim 800. II must have been at this dra-
matte moment that the idea Of revolt came
to Korniloff
Thus IL happened when Korniloff's troops
met those of the provisional Government
forty miles from Petrograd there was no
fighting. On the contrary, the men on the
two sides fraternized. Not a shot was fired.
Men in the ranks on both sides understood
each other. They conferred at length and
then returned TO their comrades. Before
Korniloff's eyes his common soldiers arbi-
trated the difference Of nation. KornilofY
and his officers were powerless.
Meanwhile. on Russia's front. headquar-
ters stood back. looking for civil war as
much as for war from the Germans.
Petrograd never lost it's nerve throughout
the great mistake. There were crowds on
the streets. but no panic. They merely
jammed the corners and spaces on the
Nevsky Prospekt and eagerly awaited
meager newspaper reports. On Tuesday
and Wednesday. when Kornlloff's mistake
appeared for a moment not to be n mis-
take. the popuace was unmoved. They
made a new record for patience and forti-
tude. The two days were formally OBJ.
served, as usual. church holidays. All
business was closed.
PREMIER KEPT BUSY
At the Winter Palace, however, strong
guards and tremendous activity betrayed
the people OF Russia fighting civil war.
There Eerensky received ministers, talked
over the telephone and by telegraph TO
distant parts of Russia and collected tho
vast forces of the public to crush the re-
bellion.
In the room of Breshko Breshkovsky I
sought the GRANDMOTHER OF the Revolu-
ton" on one of these grim days Of un-
excited preparation. She was gone. but a
gentle whitehaired lady who sat there
working declared: n

will not"
