and roots were floating around on

dirty muss. But what could the little
beavers do to stop this terrible ruin Of
their Sunken Gardens?
!. Why. you know that II those little
beavers a swan out to stop the
big deer, that the powerful bucks

their immense antlers. and killed all

But the deer are awfully afraid Of

Father Beaver whispered to all his

Then the beavers all silently rose to

they all arched their backs and dived
together. each giving an awful whack
on the water with his or her, big. flat

Chiefly of Interest to Women
Adoptions Made
During Six Months

Mrs. G. NJ. Cooley, chairman of the
Grand Forks committee of Fatherless
Children of France, states that during
the past six months lightweight faith
erless children have been adopted in
this district which is comprised of 23
counties. This response to the call for
help for these children has been most
gratifying to the committee. 1ndivid-
uals, and organizations of various
kinds have adopted these children.
The losses of the last few months
Of the war added 100000 to the hum
dreds of thousands already needing
care. What Christmas offering could
we feel toward the French nation
more forcibly than assuming the care
of one of her homeless and helpless
children. Information regarding the
adoption of these children will be
furnished by Mrs. c. NJ. Cooley, chair
a or Mrs. A. G.. Leonard. CORE

Dodge, land practically all of them

The situation in Camp Dodge was
present to a greater or less degree in
all the military camps in the country,
as we'll as among the civilian popula-
ton, and it will be to the lasting on
or of both the nursing profession and
the laywomen of the country h a vol

thousand responded. to the civilian
need.
Red Cross attendants at the soldier
canteen at Palermo, Sicily, are sur
prised to find hat at least n of every
ton speak English-or American. A
large proportion of the Italian emf
grafton to the United States has been
from Sicily; and thousands of her ma
tive ons had returned to fight the bat
tie of freedom.
Garments Needed.
Too much emphasis cannot be plac-
ed upon the urgent need of refugee
garments at this time. All organiza-
tons which have an of this work are
urged to use every effort toward
speeding up the refugee garment
work.
National headquarters have advised
us thai ten garments are of more i'm
portance in savings lives now than m
hundred garments will be three
months from now. The territory which
has been opened up to the Red Cross
by the signing of the armistice on
tains people whose destitute con1i-
ton is pitiful. a.
Many Of the workers in this divi-
sion were of the opinion that when the
armistice was signed their services
would be no longer needed. This is a
mistaken idea, and their help is need
ed now, and the saving of many lives
depends upon their prompt response.

The coat pictured is novel in that
it combines two kinds of fur, Hudson

to fashion the large shawl collar, the
deep cuffs, huge pockets and even the
large round buttons. The style is the
three-quarter length %belted model
which is most popular for street and
trotteur wear.

deer plunged through the water, and
scampered through h grass on the
banks, and plunged through the
trees. as IL a hundred blood-hounds
were after them.
And 500 they were out of hearing,
as the echoes of their mad flight died
away. And all was silence again!
And then the shouts and laughter
of all the. little people of Mirror Pond
were heard; and Sammy Muskrat
and his family were dancing a jig on
the roof Of their house. And the

broke his brand new fishing-pole.

AIRPLANES IN THE WAR

Secretary Baker has answered a class of critics that has been hand since the first day got in to the He has told something official about the airplanes in the war; and made it plain that the per sons who have sat in comfortable chairs and criticised the administration for not sending million air planes and putting Germany out of business in day, were very shallow thinkers. He has also shown that the people who have been talking about there being tens or thousans of airplanes in at this time did not know what they were talking about
 According to the Secretary, there have been more than to thousand and five hundred airplanes on the Western front at any time That is. neith- CT Germany nor the Allies have had than that number But the important part of the Secretary s statement is to the effect that have begun sending planes over only recently and that still five months ahead of calculations in that regard
 Another interesting statement which the Secre- tary makes is to the effect that it requires the vices Of fortysix men on the ground for every air plane in the air Every of these fortysx men must be trained man if not indeed, a mechanical expert. So for the two thousand five hundred air planes in use. there must be hundred and fifteen thousand of these highly skilled men.
 We are training tens of thousands of in this country at this moment, but and thousands are not many when remembers the Secretary's figures. If we have the size airplane fleet which we ought to have. it would take five hundred thousand of these skilled mechanics and avators-and that is something more than matter of reading a list of nsmes and telling to fail in. It is a matter of time and money and study. We going have them; we are going to darken the heavens with air planes But 1t can't be done today tomorrow. not at all unless men capable of being highly trained voluntarily enter the service.

CAPTAIN THOMAS R. RIGGS
Anchorage Democrat)

# sfIissHA Anchorage DemocraD
 Captain Thomas R. Riggs of the Alaska Engn eering Commission has been appointed Governor of Alaska. Such is the this week
 The appointment of Governor Riggs to the posi-. tion of Chief Executive of Alaska, will prove to be of the most popular acts of President Wilson, in far the Territory is concerned
 There few in the Territory with the qualifications for the office possessed by Captain Riggs. He has spent 20 years here and has been identified with of the very biggest work done far-the boundary survey and the construction of the Government railway; and in both important places he has made good and he will make good in his office.
 Governor Riggs will be found to possess the qua- ity needed, and that is that he has become one of the Alaska people. And whether he holds office not he will always be identified with us both in residence and interest.
 His appointment will go long way toward prov ing to the people of the Territory that the Admins tration considers that it's ruest friends here those who supported the Democratic ticket
 From monetary standpoint Captain Riggs is the loser by accepting the Governorship; but the rail way commission and the transportation program will find in perfect accord with their future work
 Every person in Alaska, with the best interests of the Territory at heart, will be jubilant over this action of the President.
