Jim ought to be q mongrel. and I've
always considered him one But the
Edinburgh fellow every once in
while got out Of his variously-colored,
Waiting and albino hybrids, a brown
mouse. 1t wasn't a common house
mouse, either, but a wild mouse unlike
any he had ever seen. 1t ran away,
and bit and gnawed and raised hob. 1t
was what we breeders call a Mende-
liam segregation of genetic factors that
had been in the walters and albinos
all the time-their original wild an
cestor of the woods and fields. If
Jim turns out to be a brown mouse
he may be a bigger mar than any Of
us. Anyhow, I'm for him"
Hell have to be a big man to make
anything out of the job of a country

Next day Jim received a letter from
Jennie.
Dear JIM it ran. FEATHER says
you are sure to have a hard time-the
school boards against you, and all
that. But he added I'm for Jim, any
how 7 l thought you'd like to know
this. Also he said, ANY jobs as big

and shows your interest in them.
Don't be too original. The wheel runs

Jennie's caution made no impression
on Jim-but he put the letter away,
and every evening took it out and read
the words, I'm for you, too !" The
colonel's dictum, ANY jobs as big as
the man who holds 1t down. was an
Emersonian truism to Jim. 1t reduced
all jobs to an equality, and 1t meant
equality in intellectual and spiritual
development. 1t didn't mean. for in

EARTHQUAKE

The earthquake, perhaps, is mans oldest and
most dreaded enemy. No can tell how often
city tribe has been overwhelmed by catas
trophe like that which recently visited Japan His
tory is full of accounts of such calames and there
must have been thousands of them antedating all
history. If had full knowledge it would be
dreadful but fascinating study to trace them back to
the earliest beginnings of life on this planet.
"This world fluid haze of light,
Til toward the center set the starry tides
And eddied into which, wheeling, cast
The planets next the monster, next the man.
And all the time, since the fiery ball we now
call Earth cooled down enough to form crust of rock
the surface making basis for soil and vegetable
and animal life, that crust has been breaking and
cracking and bending and sinking and is rising and
turning convulsions, under the strain of
the cooling
The mountains wrinkles of the crust;
the seas lie in holows made by subsidence here and
there. And always the levels have been changing the
bottoms of rising, mountains sinking and is
lands and continents appearing and disappearing and
slanting in directions and grinding their rocky
bones together and pouring up through holes cracks
in the surface, the molten interior.
All these processes still going on, scientists
find, but more slowly. Eventually there will be
no more volcanoes and earthquakes. The crust will
then be all sold hard and dead like that of the moon

same cold that solidfes the earth and stops its re
Perhaps mankind would rather have the earth

FLUNKING STUDENTS

tons in this respect and is trying to discover the rea
son for such high percentage of flunkers.
Investigation shows that those who failed are not

They simply have failed to apply their abilities to
their studies to useful recreation. They have been
swamped by diversified interests, commonly known
as "outside activities.
There are many persons who find ample Justifca-
ton for these activities They are said to develop
school spirit and loyalty they advertise the school
they keep the pupils from becoming too academic IN
their four college years. they train college men and
women in cooperation and ingenuity and help to supply
those contacts with feowstudents which are held to
be valuable training for life after school.
In many institutions students participation IN
outside activities is regulated by unit system Just
as the number of hours of curriculum work reguat
ed If scholarship shows signs of suffering, the STU
dent is made give up of the outside activities
Yet in spite of these precauons,the Thinking goes on
Diversified interests probably cannot justly be
credited with all the blame although they may be
large contributing 1t might be good idea to
ask the flunkers themselves what is wrong and get
them to suggest remedy.

MUSSOLTN

The most critical question in Europe just
seem to be whether Benito Mussolini, premier of
Italy, is bigger than the rest of the continent the
rest of the world.
Mussoilni's truculent attitude toward Greece is
generally condemned outside of his country. The
almost universal view is that the murder of the Italian
members of the Albanian frontier commission, on
winch the Italian based its warke action,
was not committed by direction connvance of the
creek government and therefore Greece should not be
neld responsible for it-at least until guilt is proved
Greece has pleaded for impartial inquiry and set
tlement by arbitration promising to make whatever
reparaton is pronounced just She is willing for the
League of Nations any other dsinteresed body to
pronounce judgment. italy refusse arbitration and
scorns impartial inquiry. The Italian government
makes itself witness, judge, jury and sheriff. and pro-
ceeds to impose punishment and collect damages after
the we'll remembered manner of the Hapsburgs and
Hohenzollerns who plunged Europe into the late
Most of the civilized world has not great friend-

in the World War and her erratc conduct since The
present Greek government has poor moral and diplo
matte standing But right is right regardless of such
considerations, and aggression like that undertaken
Mussoni threatens the whole structure of fair and
lawful dealing which the Allies particularly have lab
ored to build up. Thereby it threatens the peace of
Europe and the welfare Of all the world.

soon they met a Lady Bug.
"Oh, / must bow to Miss Lady
Bug" said the bunny. "Take ny

paws tied"
So the Alligator had to lift I'm
Gle Wiggily's hat again and bow
ito to Miss Lady Bug. And they
walked on until they met Miss
Lady Slipper, a beautiful flower.
"Oh, you I'll have to bow my hat
for me to Miss Lady Slipper" said
the bunny rabbit, and the Alligator
did, though he growled about it.
But when, little later, Uncle Wig
gily met ten thousand little red ant
ladies in the woods, something hap
pened.
"You must bow my hat for me
ten thousand times, once TO each Of
these ten thousand ant ladies, -
said Uncle Wfggily to the Gator.
ego on-make my hat be polite,
Lift it ten thousand times!'
Well, the Alligator started to do
it, but along about the seven hun
dred and fifty-sixth time the Ali
gators paw became so tired from
raising Uncle Wiggily's hat so of,
ten that the bad chap cried.
"Oh, ! can't do it any more, NY
paw will drop off! Oh, I'm so tir-
ed" And he fell down and then
along came the Police Dog that
Mrs. Robin had called. And the
Police Dog arrested the Alligator
and set Uncle Wiggily free.
SO, you see, it is always best to
be polite. And if the feather pillow

UNCLE WIGGILY'S POLITE
HAT

"Oh, look, Look at Uncle Wig
gily,' barked Jackie Bow Wow,
the little puppy dog, to his brother
one day. "See! Uncle Wiggily has
his polite hat on.
"What do you mean by his po-
lite hat?" asked Peetie. "Uncle
Wiggily is wearing his tall silk hat
that s all l see.
"That s what call his polite
hat explained Jackie. He takes
it off with such grand bow when
ever he meets any of the animal
ladies or girls. That hat seems
much more polite than straw hat
or a cap. You can see it bow much
better"
"The hat doesn't bow of itself -
whined Peetie. "Uncle Wiggilv has
to take it off to make it bow. Look
he's making it be polite to Mrs.
Twistvtail, the lady pig, now.
"Yes," agreed Jackie, "Uncle
Wiggily has to take his hat off his
head to make it polite, but 1 like
to watch him, don't you9'
Peetie said he did and the little
doggie boys spent some time look
ing at Mr.. Longears bowling to the
different animal ladies and girls of
Woodland who passed his hollow
stump bungalow.
Soon along came Nurse Jane and
she and Uncle Wiggily went to the
store together. On the way Uncle
Wiggily kept taking off his tall silk
hat most politely to the ladies he
met.
Don't YOU ercr get tired Of
that?'' asked the muskrat lady
housekeeper.
"One must never get tired of be-
ing polite" said the rabbit uncle.
Coming home from the store, Tn
clc Wiggily said to Nurse Jane:
81 think / shall hop off by my
self little way in the woods and
see if I may not have an adven-
ture. / haven't had one yet to-
day."

Wuzzy with a curl of her whiskers,
for being rat lady, she had whis-

So Uncle Wiggily hoped
through the woods and he was won
dering what sort of an adventure
he would have, when, all of sud
den, the Skillerv Scallery Alligator
jumped out from behind sassa-
fras bush and caught the bunny
gentleman by the ears.
"Ah, ha! Now T have you'll cri-
ed the 'Gator, which ! call him for
short, though he, himself, was very
long. "I'n going to take you home
to my dem"
And, in order that Uncle Wiggily
wouldn't get away, the Alligator
tied the bunny'S front paws with a
piece of wild grapevine for a rope
and led him along that way, like
tame bear.
"Dear mel" thought the rabbit
gentleman to himself as the Ca
tor led him through the woods.
"This is quite too badl Wtat am

he nodded his head and nodded the
p0lIte nat on top OF ms head. Ana
Just then he saw Mrs. Robin, the
bird lady.

Coyotes Boldly Attack
Deer in Idaho Mountains

Harry Walrath, deputy state game
warden for Clearwater county, Idaho
holds the view that coyotes in the
mountain districts have developed the
instinct for pack hunting. Deer are
facing a new menace Recently he
brought to Lewiston the mutilated
carcass of a deer that had fallen a
victim to coyotes on Whisky creek,
about nine miles from Orofino. Five
coyotes were devouring the carcass
when discovered. The snow was Is
iches deep.
Coyotes usually hunt their prey
singly OF in pairs and have never
been considered a enc to grown
deer. the latter ever being able to
protect the fawns.
Mr.. Walrath states that during the
winter of 19~21-1922, when snow vas
unusually deep in the Clearwater
mountains, many deer persisted and
there were evidences that large
numbers were victims of coyotes,
enabled by the depth of the snow, to
successfully attack in packs. They
developed a ferocity similar to that
shown by dogs, the latter rarely
singly attacking a sheep to kill,
while in bands it is not uncommon
for dogs to carry out a slaughter.
Mr.. Walrath states that the noun
tain coyote, selecting his habitat in
the edge of the timber areas, while of
the same strict blood lines of the prai-
RE coyote, has developed into a larg-
er animal. He is distinguished also
by prominent black markings on the
head. Mr.. Walrath AYERS that data
gathered during the year convince
him that the loss of deer in the Clear
water district during the winter of
1921-1922 reached 25 per cent of the
