quite, quite still until they would tm certain all danger had passed.
 He taught them how to make the low chirping calls and he taught them how to whistle.
 And do not take any chances ha said. 'Be on the safe side always- That is the best. For life is pleasant and you all want to live long. Tom want to eat grain and vegetables Food Is something to live forI
 That Is what the Striped Ground Squirrels think about it.
 Do not let your curiosity work against you. By that I mean be ca the safe side even if you are curiona It is the habit of the Striped Ground Squirrels to be very. very curious.
 Sometimes you do not wait until danger is past, but you look about you to see what is going on, and in thas way your curiosity can be of greRe danger to you.
 Live in your nice burrow homes fn the ground. Keep a storehouse for the bad days when you don't want tw go out to do any marketing.
 Keep your living rooms comfort able with dry grasses and soft rugs and cushions of grass.
 Striped Ground Squirrels arenr very beautiful when they come iutn the world.
 "rhey come along in the springtime. about ten or twelve arrive at ths different homes and they are very li1- tie and helpless with no hair apH with their ears scarcely showing af all. They ure born blind. too. So ait little Striped Ground-SquIrrels should stay with their mothers until they are nearly grown in the fall of the year.
 Do not bother to be gentle or kind, for the Striped Squirrels don't bother about such things. They are different from some of their relations in this way. These are all of Grand daddy's rules"

IIfn All Rlnhf

An English teacher in a HoosIer high school began her new freshman classes by asking them to write a short description of house. The re- suits came in and were distinctly fiat. They're as much like homes as the bare outlines drawn by an architect" ]" she scolded. Change your descrip- tions so that they will seem almost alive. Give them life; crowd them full of It."
 The next day they were a little bet ter. But still she was not satisfied. "Fill them with life" she exhorted and again ordered them rewritten.
 The third day came and she began the recitation by calling on a small. inoffenslve. timid youngster. He arose and read his opening sentence: "The whole house was alive with reaches" |"
 The teacher led in the laughter that followed. He had filled his story with life right at the beginning. too.

Intestinal Trouble From Cheese.

Hylekema, in a Dutch medical jour nal, reports instances of gastro-enter- itis affecting persons who had eaten certain cheeses. By exclusion he comes to the conclusion that the dis turbances were the result of the con- tents of the vesicles on the udders get ting into the milk. as the cows had foot-and-mouth disease at the time None of the cheeses were factory made. This same explanation fits also seven cases of acute gastro-enteritis with bloody vomit in two families from two to four hours after eating boiled buttermilk, although the existence of foot-and-mouth- disease could not be affirmed

IN SUPERB BEAUTY
Arizona's Volcanic Region Well
 Called a Marvel.
No Work Of Man That Has Ever Been Devised Can Approach Sight it
 Offers to Visitors.

Books upon hooks have been written about the seven wonders of the world, while there are seventy times seven OT natural wonders In every country of any great extent. Mans handiwork, however eluhorute. sinks Into insignih- canee when compared with what we may see In. any part of the world. Vast caves. mighty rivers and lofty mountains vie with gOrgeS. cdtnracts, plains and forests. in extorting admi- ration and awe. and Il library might be filled with a description of the nat ural curIOsitleS of single state.
 In Arizona. there Is an area in which SS hundred volcanoes may be counted. The majority are extinct. but hundreds are active. emitting smoke, hot water. mud and mineral substances.
 From the sides of the hills, grouped in an immense amphItheater. come forth most beautiful springs of clear, warm water-some so sour, others so sweet, so bitter and so strongly aka hne. that no living being or animal can drink it. These waters course down the hillsldes, laying a coat of white. pink. purple, blue or green. made by the mineral salts they con- tain. upon everything with which they come in contact.
 In the midst of these hills is the Lake of Ink. There run into 1t scores of streams of clear. mineral. hot wa ter: others that are warm. and two that are cold.
 The Inke. one-fourth of a mile in length and one-eighth In width, lies like 8 gem, set in these hills or these ancient volcanoes. The inklike wa ter which fills the lake. comes up to within three or four inches of the level of its shores.
 The temperature near the edge Is about no degrees. gradually growing warmer as you get down in 1t, and. as yeu approach the center of the lake on the surface it Is 156 degrees, and at a depth of 250 feet 1t Is 21e de- Srses.
 Near the shore on the east, south and west sides the water is only four Go stx feet in depth for % feet or more into the lake, where the shelf breaks or perpendicularly. and there no bottom has ever been found.
 To the touch, the water feels smooth and oily. The ashes and oil which cover the lake when it's waters are quiet, are from one-half an inch to an inch thick. The water of the lake Is jet black. though 1t does not color the skin of those who bathe in 1t. Under glass, the coloring matter seems to be minute black substance held in suspension by the water, which adhsrsa to white cloth immersed in the lake. To the stasts. the water is warm, salt and bitter. To the bather, the sensation, on entering the water. Is exhilarating to wonderful degree.
 Millions, of bubbles. formed by es. caping gases. keep the surface of the lake agftated at all times, till 1t rolls, boils and foams, as if ready to break over Its banks and escape; and. again. only in myriads of sparkling globules, glittering in the sunlight. Whenever the volcanoes rage with anger. the lake follows, and the sight of It's maddened waters Is we'll worth seeing.

PYRAMIDING WEALTH.

New York dispatch recently stated that hfty families
in the United States control more than $oooooo each;
one hundred families control over ToOooOooo eac ana
five hundred families control more than Slooooooo each
John D. Rockeellers estate is now sad to be between
$3O0O0 100000 and 81 0000OO,0O0
# is the boarding such vast fortunes as these into
the hands of few that has made Russia bolshevistc and
driven it's ruling class to pauperisn and death.
It is the wedge that has divided the wealthy class from
the great mass of the people throughout the countries OF
Fruope and has created widespread dissatisfaction that
has brought on wars and toppled kings and emperors
from their thrones.
Only the blind and the foolish will continue to consider
this country immune
It is difficult to induce people to believe that such glgali
tic fortunes can be accumulated by honest methods in the
space of few years and dishonesty the rock upon
which governments and individuals or later

The pyramdng of wealth is the most dangerous disease
with which our country is afflicted today.
1t indicates the existence of prohteerng combinations
which are inimica to the welfare of the republic
Official complasance will not the tension and dol
ing out few thousands will not wash away the sins of its
accumulation.
Shaking red rag in the face of bull maddens the

If a halt is not called there may time when
pyramided wealth becomes the red rag ofdestmctye

When governments become blind the people are forced
to do their seeing and under stress of great
ton they are too often inclined to 'see red"
It is time for all advocates of the square deal to sound
a warning call.

PAMPERED BRAINS.

We all admire smart young man, but we do not adj
mire him when he becomes ''too smart"
That IS the trouble with many young men.
They are endowed by nature with more than the aver
age allotment of brans but they lack the poise and udg
ment necessary to keep them under control.
This deficiency, however, is not much their fault
it is the fault of their parents.
When,a baby shows indications of being quick wted
too many parents Immediately begin to humor and spoil
it.
Instead of maintaining gentle but firm control over
the child they give in to its whns and encourage it in it's
wlfulness
1t grows up with the idea firmly implanted in its mind
that it must have its own way in everything
IF it makes pert remark and is not corrected that
mark calls for others in kind and this leads naturally to
the spirit of ''smartness which greatly depore in
many young fellows just entering mans estate.
Brains in the cradle require nursing.
Pamperng only converts them into the egotism of
maturity

KEEP GOING!

Everybody expects 1921 to be prosperous year. but
that is why anyone should slacen his efforts
That isIthe one thing that should be avoided.
The situation calls for energetic and preseverng pro-
ductio the part of all people, regardless of how great
or how humble their station in life may be.
We can not expect great prosperity to come to us if
leave the burden of production to few,
pect confidence to be maintained if ideness and shess
ness prevail where thrift and energy are possible.
We have reached the crest of our of depression
which follows every great and descending safely
on the other side.
What want to do now is to keep going until we float
into the harbor OF commercial sanity and permanent pros
perity.
Production conservation and the square deal in bust
ness will get us there

BROWN MOUNTAIN!
WILL. HAVE.
TOWER

Lenoir. Oct. ia steel tower rs
feet high will he built on top of
FL own Mountain. according to an
nounccmcnt given out from the for
estrY. service office in Ashevile. The
cost of the tower will be something
like $3.50. 1T is said that work ON
this tower will be started Immediate
ly.
When this tower is built. it will
command view Cf practically all Of
the forest area in the Boone National
Forest on the south and east side Of
the blue ridge mountains. From it
may be seen all of the lands in
CalAAwoll county and much OF the
forest land in Avery county.
Recently the forest ranger, Mon
roe Coffey, built a telephone line
from the top Of Brown mountain.
Early last summer 8 ranger station
was also built on the summit OF the
mountain. The building of this tower
will increase the efficiency of the
ranger in lc'oking for fires over al
most the entire area of the Boone
forests. Very likely the telephone
line will be extended to other sections
of the forest so as to- make possible
direct communication from all SEE
tions Of the area.
