i Tim Queer Storehouse of Paddy the

)' ' Everybody knew that .Paddy the
i Beaver was laying up a supply of food
.' I for the winter, and everybody thought it
s was flueer food. That is, everybody but
. ! Pricklv Porkv the Poreunlne thourht so.
) Prickly Porky likes the same kind of
I food, but he never lays up a supply.
He Just goes out and gets it when he
'f wants it, winter or summer. What kind
; of food. Is It? Why bark, to be sure.
j Yes, sir, It was just bark the bark of
certain kinds of trees.
' How Prickly Porky can climb the
trees and eat the bark right there, but
5 Paddy the Beaver cannot climb, and if
he should just eat the bark that he can
reach from the ground it would take
- such a lot of trees te keep him filled up
that he would boo, spoil the Green For
est. You know when tbe bark is' taken
,: off a tree all the way around the tree
. dies. That is because all the' things
that a tre draws out of the ground 4o
' stake It grow and keep it alive are car
ried up from the roots In the sap, and
the sap cannot go up the tree trunl:
and into tbe branches when the bark is
-taken off because it ia up the inside of
"the bark that ft travels! 80 when the
bark is taken from a tree all the way
around the trunk tbe tree Just sUrves to
oeath.
v. Now, Paddy the Beaver loves the
Green Forest as dearly as you and I
i do, and perhaps even a little more dear
... ly- Tou see it is' his home, Besides,
i, Paddy never la wasteful. So he cuts
down a tree so that be can get all the
r bark instead of killing a whole lot of
--t-roes- fora -very little bark, o he might
do if he were lazy. There isn't a lazy
bone In him not one. The bark he
likes best is from the aspen. When he
cannot get that ho will eat the bark
from the poplar; the alder, the willow,
' and even the birch. But he likes the
aspen so much better that he will work
very hard to get It. Perhaps it tastes
better because he does have to work so
: bard for It.
' There were some aspen trees growing
right on the edge of the pond Paddy
' bad made In the Green Forest. These
. , he cut Just as he had cut the trees for
' his dam. As soon as a tree was down
- be would cut it into short lengths and
with these swim out to where the water
, was deep, close to his new house. He
'took them one by one and carried tho
1 first ones to the bottom, where ho
pushed them Into the mud Just enough
ito-..hald them. Than, - as- -fast . -as- )x
-brought more be pllod them fr the first
, ones. And so the pile grew and grew.
Jerry Muskrat, Peter Rabbit, Bobby
I Coon, and other little people of the
Green Forest watched htm with the
.' greatest interest and curiosity. They
'couldn't quite make out what he was

"What's he doing, Jerry?" demanded
Peter when he could keep still no longer.
''I don't exactly know," replied Jerry.
"He said that he was going to lay in a
upply of food for the winter. Just as I
"told you, and I suppose that is what he

, what he is taking it all out Into the
pond for.. I believe I'll go ask him."

SCHOOL HOUSES AS SOCIAL CENTERS '
URGED BY PRESIDENT'S1 DALfGHTER
Plan Has Proved Success

'Cuts Campaigning.

Washington, Nov. 21. "Private In
terests are organised; therefore, they
are powerful. Only when the public in
teres t is organised will the supremacy
of the common Interest be universally
recognised."
Thus Margaret Wilson, the president's
daughter, summed up today the pivotal
point in the movement for use of the
nation's school bouses as social centers.
In an exclusive interview accorded to
the United Press.
Miss Wilson had an opportunity to
study the operation of the plan during
a visit to Madison, Wis., and sees in it
closer study by the people of govern
mental economics and political prob
lems. School House aa Foiling Place.
"The machinery for this organisation
of public Interest Is tho common school
system, with every school house used as
a .social center," she said. "Every
school building should be made the poll
ing place of Its district. And then the
voting body in each district should be
organised into a deliberative body for
free discussion of public questions. It
seems to be axiomatic that there should
be the same provision for all-sided dis
cussion on the part of the citizens be
fore they vote that there ia for alder
men, state legislators or any other
agents of the citizens.
"Where, as iu Los Angeles, Milwaukee,
Grand Rapids, and' other cities, the
school bouses are used as polling places,
the plan is economical, convenient and
helpful to- the educational service of
the school. And where, as In Wiscon
sin, the state law directs the school
boards to provide free use of the school
buildings as voters' common council

"Not only should the school houses
be provided free of charge, but the paid
service of a clerk or civic secretary
should also be furnished. Just as this
service Is furniBhed for meetings of
aldermen, legislators and other sub
committees of citizens.
"This program of citizenship organ

NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF W. C. T O.
GREATEST IN HISTORY
Seven Hundred Voting Mem
bers Represented 35 -Countries;
Oregon Represented. "
The Tiatlonaf convention of the
Woirten's Christian Temperance union,
Just closed at Asbury Park, N. J.,
'was the largest in the blstory of
the 40 years of the organisation,
having in atttendance over 700 vot
ing members and 1000 visitors. In
this socjisty each voting member at a
national convention represents 600 paid
member. -
The meeting In the great Casino on
the Atlantic shore will ever be mem
orable; firstly, because of the presence
of the foreign visitors from 35 different
countries, coming from tbe world's con
vention previously held In Brooklyn; and
secondly, for the daring plans of its
members to shape the destiny of tbe
country according to the pattern of
their own-Ideals.
A fund of 11100 was raised and sent
toOiptalu Richard Pearson Hobson -of
Alabama to aid In his senatorial fight
there, because of'the fact that his oppo
nents are representing the power of the
liquor traffio to crush the author of
the Joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the federal constitution pro
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors. A telegram of
cheer was sent with the money, ei-
t pressing the confidence that Mr. Hobson
would be spared politically to lead the
fight In the senate for tbe passage of
this resolution.
A telegram of protest -was sent to
congress against placing in tbe con
gressional record the oration delivered
at the funeral of the late Adolphus
Qusch, a brewer and a private cltisen.
A telegram of appreciation went to
the governor of Oregon for his heroic
law enforcement administration. The
address of President Stevens occupied
most of the forenoon of tbe first day,
and was received with such bursts of
enthusiasm that the interruptions to its
reading were frequent This free and
easy way of hearing, the annual address
of the chief officer was a revelation to
the foreign visitors, who sat above the
platform and faced the great audienoe
and though they had never seen the like
before, their smiles and cheers testified
that they approved of American liberty
and enthusiasm.
