The proposal to import reindeer into
the colder parts Of the United States
and Canada is meeting with favor and
big reindeer farm is being established
in Alberta The reindeer multiply very
rapidly, it being claimed that herd
will double i'll size every three years,
and reindeer meat is fine food If they
would live and thrive in our national
forests it might be a good plan to I'M
port a lot of them for the mountain for
est reserves of Idaho, Washington and
Montana. They might reduce the high
cost of living and provide cheaper food
than beef or pork at the prices which |
are likely to prevail during the next 10
years.

who have been drawing from 81 to 81
per day for eight hours work while the
soldiers have been getting 81 per day
for II to 10 hours work The men
who have been contending they were
not getting wages enough for the work
they have been doing should have no
fesitancy in giving up these ''unprot-
table" jobs and the soldiers will have
no hesitancy in taking them.
