Jimmy Coor, and His Friends

The Adventures Of the Little People o
the Great Forest

Now What do you suppose Father
Beavers Cousins said and did. when
they saw their little houses burned
up by the Great Forest Fire? Did
they cry, and get a bad fit of temper,
or become discouraged? Not a bit of
It. They dearly. loved Beaver Dam
Village, and their beautiful big Mirror
Pond. and thei.. pretty little houses.
: But these Beavers had lots of
pluck. Not a single tear was shed.
They were very brave and cheerful,
even. They all said at once. I'VE
will build a new Village. and new
little houses ut once
And they held a meeting and talked
over their plans, and. all voted to
move at once, and build their houses
on some other Pond.
Now why do you suppose they de-
cided to leave Beaver Dam village?
Can you think of any good reasons
why it would be wise for them to
move?
Well, this was the reason they de-
cided to move. All their food was
gone. You cannot live long without
eating food. Did you ever try It?
You see. all the poplar, yellow birch
and maple trees were burned up, and
also all the willows. And as they
lived on the bark Of these trees, they
must o to some other Pond, where
these trees grew in abundance.
Now you couldn't guess where they
decided to move But Father Beaver
spoke up in their meeting and said,
1--WE invite you all to come and live
near us on the lovely Mirror Pond.
We have lots and lots Of trees for
food. and there is plenty of delicious
bark for all Of us to eat for many
years." ~
And Mother Beaver and all the
little Beavers shouted. at once: "Oh-
do come and live near us on our lovely
Mirror Pond; and we all will have
lots Of, fun and work, and good times
with our ear cousins"
And the Beavers of the burned Viii
lage accepted the hearty invitation
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1919-01-06

with gladness. They prepared to pack
up and leave at once.
But when they looked around to
pack their trunks they found that
they had nothing in, the world to
pack. They searched among the
ashes and embers Of their burned
houses. but they couldn't find a
single thing; and even the little
Beavers couldn't find a single scrap
Of any p%laythings.
You see. the houses had burned so
suddenly hat they had to dive into
their cellars and swim out the back
cellar door. and out into the Pond, to
save their lives. The. e. was no Fire
Engine Company at Beaver Dam Vii
lageto run and put out the fire. So
they lost everything in their houses.
They couldn't ven save their furni-
ture or their straw-mattresses. or the
food in the pantry, or any dishes. or
their clothes.

Lieutenant Charles Goldman. Bos-

C%arlsruhe, Baden, has paid high
tribute to the work Of the Red Cross
in German prison camps.

49," states a letter from Lieutenant
Goldman. written while he was In
termed in Rastatt, Baden. latter my
rudder had been shot and the motor
damaged. Although my pilot was
quite badly wounded, I got off with
hardly a scratch. My trip to this
camp, which has covered a number
of days, has been intensely interesting
to me. and, it would seem, to the peo-
pie whom we have met along the way.
I am the only prisoner, they say. who
has been sem through this territory
for some time, and it was evident that
l excited lively curiosity.
Conditions at this camp are excel
lent-we have plenty to eat, and IN
siderable liberty. The work of the
Red Gross here is beyond praise. II

give half my fortune to this extraor-
binary organization. / had not been

Of Interest to Farmers

Wisconsin had 65,4l8 silOs on farms

one year, according to returns from
assessors. In Ohio the number of 81
los reported by the assessors for Apr.
l, 1918 was 80, 1873, a gain of "A per
cent in one year.
Binder Irvine cost the farmer $50

erages for the United States.
When this country entered the war
Uncle Sam called for an increased
production of food, urging the farm
ers of the country to plant every
available acre. The food producers
of the nation responded by planting
over II, 100000 acres more than had
been planted during the previous
year. The acreage of all crops during
1918, according to figures just tabula-
ted by the Bureau of Crop Estimates,

Gourmet.

It is a short journey from the Yucca
tan coast to the island of COzumel,
or, in our language, the Island OF
Swallows. Cozumel is drowsily
tropic island, blessed with gardens
and groves that grow almost Of them
selves, and luxuriously shaded by a
forest of ebony. rosewood, cedar and
other trees of great price. Besides
all this substantial treasure COzumel
claims that the, medieval pirates who
haunted the shores of the Caribbean
entrusted a part of their booty to
the islands soil, either through the
desire to pay for Cozumel's hospi-
tality or with the intent to return later
and reclaim their hoard. It is fairly
certain that the pirates made use OF
the island as safe deposit vault but
it is a matter of speculation as to
whether the island still holds the i'll
gotten treasure, for digging has 50
far been unproductive.

Dance was Success

The Eagle River Woman's Club de-
serves high comment for their splen-
did Homecoming dance rendered the
returning soldiers and sailors of Villas
county at the opera house Friday eve
ming. The affair was well arranged,
well planned, and well carried out in
every detail and an appreciative gath
ering under the able direction of
Floor Manager S. w. Smith, supplied
the final element of success for the
dance. The grand march, headed by
some thirty of the home lads in
uniform, gave the spectators little
idea of what Villas county gave in
men for the big cause. The thirty
do not begin to complete the county's
entire contribution to the different
branches of service, but it was UNI
doubtedly the largest number in
uniform seen at any local gathering
and as such, was impressive. The
Eagle River orchestra proved itself a
poppy organization for just such oc-
casions, leaving nothing to be desired
by those who we're stepping off the
latest figures of the Terpischorean art.
The Woman's Club may know it's
efforts were fully appreciated by the
large attendance accorded the event.

WITH ARMY ON RHINE
Villas County Soldier Writes
of Experiences in Army
of Occupation at
Ehrenbreitstein.

James Oberholtzer this week re-
ceived letter from Christ. Rassmus-
son, who is with the End Division in
the American Army of Occupation on
the Rhine As member of the 18th
Field Artillery Christ. went through
some of the thickest of the big game
on the Western Front. He has been
in service nearly two years, most of
the time overseas. He was among
the first of Villas county's lads to en-
list. His letter to Mr.. Oberholtzer
follows:
Ehrenbreitstein Fortress,
Germany.
Apr. 8, 1919.
Dear Friend-I received your letter
long time ago and l thank you very
much for it. Am still in Germany
watching the Rhine and it is some
country. We are located right across
the Rhine from Ccblentz in an old
fort called Ehrenbreitstein, very in-
teresting old place that the Germans
once occupied.
We are having very nice weather
quite spring-like. The trees are all
getting green and it begins to look
like summer. / suppose everything
will be pretty nice in Eagle River by
the time this letter reaches you. Wish
I was back there in my old shack on
Dam lake, but won't be there this
summer for I think we will be here
for some time to come and / don't see
any way of getting home. Well, /
will have more service stripes the
longer stay here. Have three to my
credit now
We are having things very nice here
at present. Don't have much to do
and have plenty of good ''chow."
This place isn't going dry July 1st. It
seems as though they use beer and
wine here instead of water.
We all want to get back home be-
cause there is no place like the good
old q. S. A. Hope you are all in
good health.
With best wishes to all, remain,
Your old pal,
