QUI OF TIICllTOODS By Jim ZfereHS Wolf Story That winter Paul Bunyan had more worries than he could shake a tree at. One blizzard af ter another had frozen work in the woods. The weather had put the timber wolves on meat ra tioning. When the oxteams were at last on the skid trails again, it was common for big ravenous wolves to attack them from the rear and eat right on and up to their horns In no time. Paul trained his bullwhackcrs to hold on to the leather when this hap- Kened and prod the big wolves ard ahead into the yokes. Then a good bullwhacker would never miss a trip but would goad the yoked wolves, primed with fresh ox meat, right on down the trail to the landing. Hon Collar Doughnuts With wolf team logging, the skiddors soon began to catch up with the down timber and to crowd the axmcn. Paul Bunyan figured that, if his axmcn could chop right on through the noon hour, with no time off for lunch, they could keep ahead of the wolf teams. But the axmcn had to stoke up somehow at noon, else they'd have all come down in short order with galloping anemia. Finally, Paul figured how to solve the problem with a new giant style of fry cake. The first noon Paul tried his Invention out the axmcn saw the mulligan sled come to the woods, as usual. But this trip it carried no stew or beans. Instead, each flunky unloaded a huge rig that looked and smelled like a big frv cake except that it was shaped like a horse collar. The flunkies toted the horse-collar fry cakes over to the working axmcn and dropped one over the head of each. They were mighty big, those first doughnuts were. They had to be, when you think of how the littlest runt among Paul Bunyan's axmen broke his leg one winter three feet below the knee. Chop 'n' Chaw Well, Paul Bunyan hollered out an order when each man had his fry-cake collar on. "Keep right nn chnppin', men!" hollered Paul. "Everv lick with the ax you take, Just gnaw into your collar, and so on till you've ct It all down! Got to keep fallin' limber! Can't let them wolves show vou up!" It worked, as Paul Bunyan's Inventions always did. The nat ural chopping swing of an ax- mun would keep hunching his horse-collar fry cake around as he gnawed it, and not one chop per would miss a lick or lose a crumb while getting his noon meal. Log production was given the necessary boost. That was back in B. C, of course B. C. I. O. The horse collar style was kept for fry cakes as Paul Bunyan logged on west. How they came to be called doughnuts is 37 oth er stories. At that point history ends and argument begins and this Is no place for an argument.
