1t made no difference which OF
his doors Sandy used. He always
came and went like that. because
he didn't want to wear path TO
either of his two doors or tramp
down the grass around them. II
he had been so careless as to let
people notice where he lived he
would have been almost sure to
have enemies prowling about his
house. And if a weasel had nap
pened to see one or Sandy's neat
doorways he would have pusned
right in, in the hope of finding
Sandy inside his house.
In that case the weasel would
probably have pushed out again,
with Sandy inside him. So YOU
can understand that Sandy Chip
munk had the best Of reasons Ter
being careful.
After he had made a soft, warm
bed for himself, Sandy set to

Kilhjamur Stefanson, forernu~.
scientist and explorer, whose
achievements have won for him
special honors from three interna-
tional geographical societies and
who will appear at the Salem ar
mory Friday evening, November
i19.
Mr. Stefanson first came into in
ternational prominence in 1918
when his expedition into the arctic
regions was reported TO have been
annihilated by polar storms and
himself and entire party given up
for lost.
In 1913, the explorer startled

his temperance with recorus oil
discoveries and rechartings of arc
tic region that have proven of un-
told value to modern science.
During his stay in the arctics,
Stefanson's party lived off the
county and in his lecture this re-
gion is described. not as the dreary
waste usually pictured but as
land Of hardy peoples and perma-
nent homes.

He gathered other food

He gathered other food, too
besides nuts and grain. Near
Farmer Green's house he found
some plump sunflower seeds
which he added to his store. Their
there were wild-cherry pits, too
which the birds had dropped upon
the ground. All these, and many
other kinds Of food. found their
way into Sandy Chipmunk's home
Much as he liked such things
to eat-and especially sunflower
seeds-he never ate single nut
or grain or seed while he gathered
them for his winters food. And
when you stop TO remember that
he had to carry everything home
in his mouth, you can see that
Sandy Chipmunk had what is call
ed self-control.
His mother had always told
him that he couldn't get through
a winter without that. And so.
when Sandy brought her to see
his new home. after it was all
finished, and his bed was neatly
made, and his storeroom full Of
food, Mrs. Chipmunk was de-
lighted.

Mrs. Chipmunk is Glad


After Sandy Chfpmunk had due
his chamber underneath Farmer
Green's pasture, he liked the in
side of his house quite well. But
the looks of the outside did not
please him at all. He wanted a
neat dooryard. And how could he
nave that, with that yawning hole
through which he had pushed
earth and stones, which still lit
tered the grass a little distance
away?
Luckily. Sandy knew exactly
what to do. So he set to work to
close the big work hole. 1t was no
easy task-as you can believe.
But at last he managed to pack
the hole full of dirt.
Then he had no door at all. And
there he was in the dark. inside
the hall that led to his chamber
and storeroom. But that did not
worry Sandy. You see, he knew
just what he was about. And he
fore long he had dug new door
way-a small, neat, round hole
which you would probably have
walked right past, without MOTTO
ing 1t, 1t was so hard to see in tbe
grass that grew SO thickly about
it.
You might think that at last
Sandy's house was finished. But
ne was not satisfied with it until
ne had made still another door
way, in the same fashion. He
knew that it was safer to have an
extra door through which he could
slip out when some enemy was
entering by the other one. Then
Silndy Chipmunk's house was fin
ished. And he was sreatly pleased
with it.
But his work was not vet done
He had to furnish his chamber

ory leaves to make him a bed.
These he stuffed into his cheek
