swim in the ice cold water, / I'm not
going to. For beavers unlike
ground hogs and bears, don t curl up
and sleep all winter. They keep
awake in their houses, even though
the houses are frozen fast in the ice.
And when they need to, beavers can
swim in the water under the ice.

Nobody asked you to, laughed

now, as the pond was frozen over,
the ice was all around the beaver
house.
Toodle dived through lower door,
came out in the water, swan along
under the ice until he reached hole,
and then up he bobbed. Soon he was
on top of the ice, not far from his
house, and he started to make a
slide. Just as\you do, he ran back
and forth over the ice and then
holding his feet firmly together, he
let himself slide along, shouting
with glee.

NON-TURKISH ATROCITIES

There is food for much reflection in the report OF
the International Red Cross conditions found IN
in Anatolia after the expulsion of the Greek invaders
"Involuntary,' the Investigators say, our
thoughts taken back to Pompeii and Messina but
while the humiliation of these cities due to natural
causes the destruction of the villages of Anatollaslt-
uated al considerable distances from the front has
BEEN TO say the least, mehodically perpetrated by
Christians in the heart OF the twentieth century Mil
tary necessity, they may say in Europe But for our
part we would know how to admit such an explain
alton"
1t is somewhat of a shock to learn from such dis
interested sources that the Turks have not been alone
by any means in prepetratng atrocities against other
races 1t may be argued that the burning of the
Greek section of Smyrna and the pess driving of so
many Greek refugees into the was direct retala-
on for what the Greeks had done in their retreat from
a purely Turkish region where they really had no bus
iness to go.
The Greeks, in their turn, plead the example of
the Germans in their withdrawal from France and Bel
GUM But that example is not in good standing.
Perhaps the most satisfactory reflection suggested
by this whole ugly business in the Near East is the de-
ceney and selfresran shown by the American and al
lied forces when they finally had the Germans at their
mercy. There no devastation or massacre then

SETTING EN- UP

In a by-gone day to which memory returns fondly
or otherwise it the practice to set EN- up The
boys would gather along the rail ana III turn each
would buy" Now and again the treats were on the
house 1t was democratic order and was founded up
on equity the code requiring that each should contrib
ute TO the gaity his turn came.
The country publisher finds his mind running back
to this fine example of social justice and good sports
manship with something akin to sadness. His eXper-
ience day by day brings to him the suggestion that
there has been something of falling off in the ideals
of good fellowship and equity The bunch seem not
to be inspired with the desire each to do his part
Every day the newspaper furnishes forth feast
of publicity. For the most part it radlates the cheer
of optimism. a spice of humor and record of the
events which go to make up life. 1t is feast to which
all invited but many to think that the treats
should be on the house all the time This is not as
il should be. Everybody participating in the good
things everybody should buy occasionally Every per-
son whose material interests identified with
muntv should realize that from time to time the code
requires him up the publicity, in or an
other On such basis only is the house able to keep
going and continue to furnish the cheer and the stlmu-
us which maintain the social order at its highest effl
cheney.

DO YOU think the ice will hold me ~

beaver boy. "Go on-slide!
Uncle Wiggily took little run,
then he held his paws close ogether
and slid. But something was wrong.
For the bunny gentleman tripped

"That ism the way to do it,

this time he fell over backward and
bumped his head.

to catch Uncle Wiggily, but as soon

bumped his nose.

slips when he tries to slide And
then Noodle came out to slide with
Toodle, and the two beaver boys
took hold of Uncle Wiggily, one on
either side, and they held him up
from falling until he could learn to
slide without humping his nose or
his head and without. sitting down.
So they had lots of fun on the ice.
