Liue Comfortably in
Canadian Sod Houses

The traveller in the Canadian
provinces of Saskatchewan and Al
berta is astonished at the great
number of sod houses scattered
throughout the prairie farming dis
trict. These do not occur in the
vicinity of the towns, but are out
about ten miles or more. one
might suppose that such rude
structures were the result of pow
erty. On the contrary. the sod
houses denote advancing prosperity.
When the homesteader takes up
q section of wheat land in west
crn Canada he plants his crop at
the earliest possible moment, in or
der that he may not miss a harvest.
Often he is occupied to such an ex-
tent with these agricultural opera
lions that he neglects his dwell
ing house and hurripdly throws to-
gether a rude makeshift Of sod.
Even though it We're desired 10
erect frame house, This could be
done only with great difficulty be-
cause of the scarcity of lumber, 1t
is far better to live in temporary
quarters until the railroad pushes
out into that territory and brings
the comforts of civilization. How
ever, these sod houses are by no
means uncomfortable, for they are
wonderfully cool in summer, and
c0rrespondingly warm in winter.

Character in Making

Some writer's assert that charac-
Ter is formed in the days of child
hood, says the Los Angeles Times.
They allege that in infancy the
habits Of age are formed. If the
Kid throws mud he is going TO be
i politician. If he likes to play
with dolls he is going 10 be a movie
actor. If he fights with all the
other boys in the block he will be
Al lawyer. If he robs birds nests
he is going to be a promoter. So
cne argument might go. AS a mat
fer of fact very little character is
formed in the kindergarten stage
1t does not develop until the con-
facts of life in school, college and
business begin to be felt.
