Cow Moose skiIfuI Boxer.

In the northern and western forest
regions of Canada the snow piles deep
ly throughout the winter. In these
forests roams the king of the deer
family, the moose. To combat the high
piling drifts, the animals gather In
little bands of from three to dozen
head and trample down the snow over
certain limited areas. Thus, when the
snow lies all around them, from three
to eight feet deep, the moose have
small stretch of country packed hard,
so they can get around easily to
browse off the surrounding trees.
From these yards" as they are
called, the moose are at times driven
by wolves or by dogs and men. The
animal founders through the deep
snow till 1t is exhausted, and then
proves an easy prey to its pursuers.
Though she has no horns, the cow
moose possesses dangerous weapons In
her two forefeet, which can strike for
ward with the skill of a boxer and
deliver most telling blows.

tiful Thanksgiving Feast
At Low Cost.

With the purchasing power of the
American dollar capable of setting
table mt for a king" for a few
paItry cents, the American Army
of OCCUPATION on the Rhine is look
ing forward to a riotous Thanksgiv-
ing.
Only 1000 remain on the Rhine,
but these believe they have some
thing on their comrades-in- arms
stationed elsewhere.
Thanksgiving dinner, 1t Is ex-
planned by the War Department
here. always is a great occasion in
the army. Each company has a
fund. devoted to recreation and so
forth. From tNis fund. comes the
special turkey dinner on the fourth
Thursday of every November. And
because of this. the Rhineland troop
ers are anticipating a spread supe-
rior to that ever furnished in an
army camp. For a ne-hundredth
part of what will be spent else
where. they point out. they will be
able to buy themselves a dinner 100
times better and 100 times more
plentiful.
And for this reason, the army on
the Rhine derives some measure of
consolation in being forced to eat
Thanksgiving dinner away from the
home folks.

FARM CREDIT BILL
MAYHINDER DRIVE
FOR ship SUBSIDY
President Likely to Urge
Aid for Agricultural
Interests of Nation.

Farm credits legislation is to de-
mand some of the time of the com-
ing session of Congress which the
administration had hoped could be
devoted almost exclusively to ship
subsidy.
While the President in his forth
coming message will devote most of
it to a discussion of the merchant
marine situation and the demand
for its financial support by the
government. it Is now understood
that he will also discuss the agr\-
cultural situation.
The farm block in Congress is de-
manding that attention be given to
the agricultural condition of the
country which. it is insisted. is
even more important to the general
welfare than the upbuilding of a
merchant marine.
While it is doubtful that a farm
credit bill can be passed before ad-
journment on March 4, failure to
perfect a credit bill will result in
another years extension of the
powers of the War Finance Corpora
tion which otherwise would cease
to exist July l, 1928.
PRESIDENT Harulng, IL Is declared
will support some form of legisla-
ton to provide credits of from six
months to three years for agri-
culture. thus filling the gap between
the short time credits obtainable
through the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn and the long time loans through
the Federal Land Banks.

rector of the War Finance Corpo-
