The Beavers Made Mud Pies.
ii .0
You would have laughed to have
seen Father Beaver making mud pies,
lie made them just as boys and girls
do.
And he had tfte whole family with
him in the Great Wopd, and Mother
Beaver and the children were all hav
ing lots of fun making mud pies.
But when they make Mud Pies,
they are working on a puzzle: how to
fool their enemies.
You know that Beavers live much
^of the time in water, and they are
~siieh powerful swimmers and such re
markable divers, that few of their
enemies can catch them in water.
And they have many secret hiding
places in Mirror Pond—under the
water, in the banks, .in burrows, and
other secret refugees, below the sur
face of the water—so that -tjieir foes
can seldom find them.
But Beavers are in great danerpr
when they travel on land in the Great
Forest. And so they try, in travel
ing, to follow the oonds and streams,
and to keep near the water.
But you see, often in making a
journey, they must cross the laind
from one brook to another, and also
in going around a waterfall.
Their enemies know that they can
not catch the Beavers in the water,
so they watch for them day and night
at waterfalls, along the ponds and
brooks, hoping to pounce upon them
on land.
And let me tell you that their ene
mies think Beaver meat is the sweet
est food in the world. And their ene
mies are always hungry for Beaver
steak.
So it is the business of the Beavers
to use their wits, and to fool their
enemies.
And one way in which Beavers out
wit their foes is by making mud pies.
You see it is like this: often Beavers
must travel on land, and they know
that their legs are short, and that
they are rather awkward, and slow
on land, compared with a wolf, fox
or lynx.
Those famous words of Solomon or
some other more modern wise ipan, I
"Go west, young man," may be
heeded most advantageously by young
women these days. The progressive
west is the ideal place

Jimmy Coon and His Friends
The Adventures of the Little People of
the Great Forest
One way in which Beavers outwit
tlicir foes is by making mud pics.
Beavers on land have a sort of gal
]lup or series of jumps but a Wild
Cat, for instance, could very quickly
outrun them.
So Beavers must use their wits,
^nd fool their enemies. And the mud
nelps them" to get ahead of their foes.
And Father Beaver was teaching
all his children to make splendid
Mud Pies. It was a funny sight to
see the Beaver parents and all the
children walking on their hind legs,
while each one had his or her arms
full of soft mud for the pie.
It requires skill, as you know, to
make good mud pies. And Father
Beaver was very particular that every
mud pie should be made just so.
It must be just so high, and just so
wide and then each Beaver must pat
it down very smooth on top. What in
the world could they do with so many
mud pies? You will hear tomorrow.
Tomorrow:
Arc for.
WITH the WOMEN of TODAY
the women
who would "do something," either in I
politics or business.
Woman fairly shines in the politics'
of our west. One
of
the latest bits
of news of which the sufCragets may
well be proud comes from West
port, Oregon. Clackamas county,
where Westport is located, claims the I
youngest woman county treasurer in
the United States and local political
sharps say she is the only woman to]
hold -such a position.
Twenty-three-year-old Alberta L.
Dunn is the young woman who has
this distinction. She was first ap
"'"rt. pointed to fill out her father's unex
pired term as county treasurer. Then
she won the Republican nomination
last May for the same job and was
elected to the post last November.
What the Mad Pies
Miss Alberta L. Dwm.

a canteen worker for the Red Tri
angle. Single banded she can mix
and fry 6,000 doughnuts a day, and
with assistants can produce 10,000,
according to reports.
Miss Bass ran a cafeteria before
jtsoiilitif. to France, consequently her
art of making doughnuts is no hit or
miss affair, but the result of experi
ence...In practising' domestic science
And of -ipareful planning.
In thfe French village in which she
was stationed she was able to fltid
and commandeer an iron vat of mam
moth proportions. Then she esti
mated how great a quantity of dough
she needed to keep the vat working
at its full capacity and proceeded to
make it. For the first few days she
turned out only two or three thou
sand doughtnuts. Later she produced
single handed 5,000.
