Food Of the Muskrat

The food Of the muskrat is COM
posed mainly Of aquatic plants and
roots, but this expert swimmer &C.
casionally eats fish. If his home
happens to be near a farmers or
chard he occasionally makes raid
on the apples, pears, or other deli
cacies. Many persons like the meat
of the muskrat. 1t is possible that
the eating of this animal is a heri-
tage from the early Americans, who
were taught how to prepare the
meat by the Potawatomie Indians.
The tribe ate the meat of the musk
rat roasted or boiled with corn.

The chimney also has a full-sized

alarm" in the past few days. Making
his first radio speech since he be-
came prime minister last summer,
De Gerr said the Gear of imminent
danger for The Netherlands was
caused by reports 'culated abroad,
ard "by certain easures Of our
government.
The belligerent nations, he said,
have the darkest expectations about
the intentions Of their enemies and
think Of their own safety. Thus, he
said, they prepare for the worst,
suppose that the worst already is at
hand, and Gin good faith easily be-
licve that the violation Of our neu-
trality is likely. &c.
'Therefore, l advise you to grid
yourself against this belief" ne said,
"and remember that neutrality also
requires certain state Of mind.
He said that Hollands own de-
tense measures had been misinter-
preted, and ''it would be fatal
error on our Dart TO conclude rom
these measures that threats TO our
frontiers had been increased".

Open campaigning by Garner-for-

A prediction that the Republican

weeks came from Senator McNary
Of Oregon, the minority floor lead

Dental nominee and party orators
would not begin their speech-mak-

Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
Michigan, potential candidate for
the presidential nominations, has
expressed the belief that rapid

one started in July, which might
lag in late summer.
The plan also would permit the
