STAG NO MEAN ADVERSARY
Has Been Known to Kill Horses, and
10 on Record a. Putting Bulls
to Flight.

The stag is ferocious fighter and
has attacked and killed horses-and
on occasions put bulls to flight. The
fighting weapon Of the stag is ito
antlers. Each year these antlers grow
from the skull at the rate of an
inch a day. During their growth,
they are covered by q feshy layer
of skin, in which the blood circulates
in order to feed the growing bone,
writes E. X. Robinson in Natures
Lessons with animals"
When the antlers are fully grown
the skin dries up and the animal ru5s
it of. The stag only uses his ant
lers as . weapon for about three
weeks, and then carries them for
but Q few months more.
When two stays are fighting, each
endeavors to get its antlers outside
those of its opponent, in order to
push it aside and thus expose its
flank, at which it makes q darting
blow with the shorter points on the
antlers. The antlers are also
useful when q stag is alarmed
and wants to get away with its
kinds. With its greater strength
and it antlers, it is able to plough
path for itself and the kinds
through the thickest underground.

NORTH DAKOTA
COAL SITUATION

The population of North Dakota is
estimated to be about 725,00O or,
figuring persons to a family, this
means 145,Q00 families within the
state borders. Within the next six
weeks the thoughts of all of them
will be centered on one thing, and
that one thing will be coal and how
and where to get it.
The fact is, the people Of this
country, and of North Dakota, have
been waiting so patiently for the
strike to be settled that they have
forgotten all about the coal that has
not been mined. Most Of the OUT
side coal used in North Dakota,
South Dakota and Minnesota is
mined in about six states, shipped
either by water to Duluth, or by rail
to Minneapolis. and from there re-
distributed until it finally reaches
the outlying villages and homes
on the far prairies The total tom
mage of all kinds Of coal mined in
those states in 1921 was about $50
million tons, for the whole year.
OF this total about IL million tons
is consumed by the Northwest.
But for five precious months OF
this year hardly a ton Of coal has
been mined. This total tonnage
has been thereby cut nearly one
half, and this shortage will be car
ried over to each section of the
United States. Instead of having
on hand 12,o00,0O0 TONS of coal,
the Northwest will liayc but 81
| 900. 900.
And North Dakota,s share Of this
for her Industrial and domestic pur-
poses will be, on paper, about 7O0,-
900 tons. Already steps are being
taken to procure fair share from
the United States Fuel administrat-
or, and hopes to be able to do SO.
But when the condition Of cars is
considered, and the tie-up of the
railroads on account OF their strike,
the chances Of an adeuate supply OF
outside coal for this state offer a
serious problem. Fortunat y,
however, the condition in North, Da-
kota is better than that Of either
Minnesota or South Dakota, for she
has her own Ignite coal supply,
which in 1920-21 produced 1000
tons of very good domestic and pow
er fuel. The organization of the
Ignite operators Of the state is q
step i'm the right direction at this
time. To supply $4,000 families
alone with coal for the winter is a
| job we'll worth doing.
