LOOT STORES OF FIELD MICE:
North Dakota Indians Raid Caches Of
Delicacy, but Always Leave Corn
In Its Place.

In the northern part OF North Da-
kota there grows n bean which Is re-
lated TO the peanut and of which the
Indians of that section are very fond.
AS each plant bears but single bean,
the labor of gathering them would be
very great. but the field mice of that
section gather the beans and hide
them for winter consumption In under
ground storehouses.
The Indians know how TO locate the
caches and In the autumn they 90
forth and rob them, but the supplies
are invariably replaced with corn or
some other grain which the Indians
have In plenty, SO that the little har-
vesters are not starved out.
The beans have delicious flavor
and are highly priced. In the course
of few days hunt one Indian may
gather two bushels, few quarts being
secured from each of the underground
storehoUses.
The Indians say thut this method Of
gathering food from mouse boards
dates back TO prehistoric times, but
the traditions OF the tribes protect the
mIce in that II Is taught that dire pun
Ishment falls upon those who take the
beans without replacing them with
corn.-Chlcago Journal.

WHY
The Giving of an Apple Was
4 Real Tip

The sophisticated city man, wise In
his own c0nceit and full of q sense of
that wisdom, will snicker when he
hears of how Nebraska ''rube" gave
hotel bellhop big red apple as u
tip. But just let the smart aleck
think a moment.
Giving Of apples has had some ma
terial and permanent effect on the
destiny of the human race. 1t started
right at the very beginning, when
Mother Eve gave one to Adam, md
from that day to this the train Of
events then set In motion has been
troubling mankind. That, of course.
Is familiar story.
Then there Is the episode In which
Venus permitted Paris to present an
apple to Helen, which simple little act
Launched thousand ships, and
burned the topless towers Of Illum."
Apples that grew only in the Gar
den Of Hesperides brought something
Of fame to Hercules, but he gathered
them.
In fact, the history of the race teens
with Incidents in which an apple
has had something to do with
shaping destiny. We may turn away
from that and consider the point in
more material aspect.
Had the farmer given the boy a
dime, It would have been In strict
accord with conventions. Yet the boy
would have had some difficulty In ex-
changing that dime for big red ap-
pie He could not eat the dime, but
he could devour. INCEST, digest, assim-
Hate and enjoy the fruit. Therefore.
just in the degree that the pleasure
of eating n large and juicy apple, no
matter what variety. exceeds the slip
ping of n thin dime into ones pocket,
so did the boy gain through the farm
ers generosity. 1t was real tip. all
right, rare enough. and therefore, the
more noteworthy.-Omaha Bee.

HOW.

ONES EVERYDAY LIFE Is
MARKED BY DANGER
The hazards we face In the
course of an ordinary day In
the peaceful pursuit of business
and. recreation are seldom
thought Of by most men, ac-
cording to an accident insurance

cident policy.
without taking into consider
alton vocational risks" he said.
st is amazing how many chances
we run just leading normal
life. Every dny man faces loss
Of life. physical impairment or
inability to earn n livelihood.
Even in the act of arising in
the morning and In getting into
bed at night serious injuries
have been received by many
through falls on the floor. The
apparently safe operation of TAX
ing n bath has proved to be one
of the prolific sources of injuries.
Shaving is another dangerous OPP
Grafton. The number of serious
cuts has reached great proper
uons. The simple operation of
cutting corns has proved to be
dangerous and innumerable in
jurles have been due to accidents
while lighting cigars, cigarettes
and pipes.
Chores about the house, both
for men and women, furnish all
kinds of hazards. the statistics
show. Falls from ladders, both
inside and outside the house,
have been numerous, to say moth

mowers, butcher knives and scis-
sors, burns while cooking and

''In the streets the dangers are

MAKE FRIENDS WHEN YOU CAN
Reason Why one Man Has Always
Sought to Add to His Aequalnt-
aneas Every Day,

My hobby is enlarging my acquaint-
ince. For years have found pleas
are and profit In trying to know as
many people as can. aim never to
let the sun set without knowing at
least one more person than did when
| started out In the morning, writes
Fred @. Kelly in Leslie's. Why7 My
answer Is: Why not? Life is made up
Of human relations. AS l look ut 1t
the more humnn contact / achieve the
fuller my life should be. BY human
contact don't mean just being In
crowds, or places where people are. !
mean meeting people, getting their
points of view. Lots Of city folk who
nave plenty of daily opportunity to
meet and know people don't get ac-
quainted with as many Us man
know who lives on farm and never
comes to town. Meeting people is one
thing, making friends or getting ac-
quainted with them is another. Inas-
much rs human beings are admittedly
the most interesting things on earth,
why not know us many of them US pos
sible? If there are men who derive
pleasure from collecting stamps, rare
coins, canes. love letters, dogs, why
shouldn't give little serious thought
to collecting long list Of friends?
And II / am more successful busi-
ness man in consequence Of having
many friends all the better for me.
Everybody you know is potentially
help to you. There is no way of
telling when the humDlest person
among your acQuaintances may not
have momentary Importance In some
thing you are trying to do. l once
was able to get information that
meant successful contract through
the fact that chanced to be acquaint-
ed with the fireman In one of the no
tells In San Francisco.
Now there are two ways of getting
acquainted with people-by introduce
ton and by getting into casual con-
versation without introduction. try
to make the most of both these ave-
nues, but regard the former as the
more important of the two.

And who can say that oranges and eggs are not

me to say that / have observed a great opp0ytun-
ity for profit in yoar groves that L. not generally
taken advantage Of in Florida. l speak with
broad and particular knowledge OF both trade and.
farm conditions in the poultry industry when
say that there is not only good profit in raising
poultry and eggs for the Florida markets; but
you have a wonderful natural range for poultry
in your groves. unexceed anywhere for SOIL
shade and feed. And without my having much
knowledge Of the needs of your frRit trees. can
see all about me the use of enormous Quantities
OF fertilizers and enormous sums spent for spray
ing and fighting insects. and can tell you that
poultry is enemy TO insects. feeding on them
and where poultry ranges in sufficient numbers
the ground is constantly fertaized
also see the splendid groves and splendid
poultry where these industries have been com
bined in Florida And I have a suggestion to
make that believe is worth thinking about. You
men who are used to cooperation should get to-
gether in groups according to the size OF yoar
groves and the number of head Of poultry which
care for; YOU should get specialists
to introduce poultry into your groves. Some Of
you good poutrymen and might turn to this
development with profit. and there are thousands
of skilled poultrymeD in the north who would,
seize the opportunity to come to Florida did they
know the conditions in their line, and if you
would see the need of their help and the profit
you are letting slip out Of your hands.
