go a long way north, but It la interest
ing to read about them and know some-
tblng about them anyhow. There are
states la this big country where snow
abortng Is popular—away op in Michi
gan and Wisconsin, for Instance, where
the snow lies deep on the ground for
months at a time. Over in Norway,
far acroes the Atlantic ocean, is the
place where snowsboes come in the
most bandy, for that Is a land of deep
mows and long winters.
The Mae of the snowshoe Is to keep
tni from brae king through the top
rant of the deep snow and let you
skim gracefully over the white surface.
Snowsboes are mnch need In the big
orests, where the snow falls several
feet deep and then gets a trosen crust

the picture certainly looks as If bln fa

Snowsboes are not real shoes, of
course Yob must wear your reel
•ihoes and stock tugs to keep your feet
warm, then fasten the snowsboes to
your soles. They are really very
much like little sleds, only that you
have a sled on each foot Instead of the
"belly busteF* that you use in 'coasting
downhill You can climb bills as
snowsboes. sod you can’t do that on a
sled, as you know. That’s where lota
of the fan comes in.
In northern Michigan and some
other parts of the north tbe little boys
and girls sometimes get impair of
snowsboes from Kants Clans, and they
prove to be a very enjoyable Christ
mas present.
"Skates will do for me.” says Haste.

Every boy and girl who loves the
outdoors—and what child doesn'tI-

that, won’t yon? Of course. If yoo>

them Is a welcome gift from Santa
Clans to a boy or a girt, bat It is the
lee skats* that make ns think of
Christmas time.
Nowadays skates are nicer and cheap
er than those we used to have, say,
thirty years ago. Did any of you boys
and girls ever see a pair of the clnmsy
looking wooden skates with steel run
era which your fathers used to wear
before the all metal skates cams Into
fashion? Those wooden skates were
strapped to heel and toe—no heel plates
or toe clamps In those days. Bat
they were mighty good skates all the
same, and your father enjoyed them
Just as much as you’ll enjoy tbe high

Here’s a picture of the Christmas
queen, the queen of outdoor sports b
winter time. You will see that she l

should be, for she la standing in a tree-

be pretty chilly up there when the wind
blows. Bat you will notice also that
tbs Christmas queen has wings, so she

ADVICE TO FARMERS
raissar unm ura ms or
kwie ah in uu admit
LAM UNIS..
To the officer* and tneaffaahrof the
Farmers’ Union:-Lota df people
are probably in hell, or its equival
ent. today due to quarrels about
land lines. I make this broad state
ment to show the eaufles that often
make folk in the country disa
gree with each other and that, in
their turn, make the development
of the.coontry districts and the im
provement of the let of the fanner
so gradual an accomplishment
Its the Uttie things that lead up
to and govern the big things in this
life, whether on the farm or the rity.
Quit fussing with your neighbor
about the trifling damage his
chickens do to your flowers or truck
garden. The thing is too small to
quarrel about with so many infimite-
fy bigger things that may be mater
ialized only by co-operation, and co
operation between bickering neigh
bors is an impossibility.
Once in my old county, two promi
nent men became mixed up in a law
suit at great expense for twenty or
thirty years over a tiny strip of
cheap land worth at the best but s
few dollars. Einally the court di
vided the land between the two, a
compromise they could themselves
have reached and saved hundreds of
dollars, their sdf-rmpect and the
cost in community stagnation—for
no community goes foward when its
people are at feud with each other.
In this same county I once saw
fortv-pne fool neighbors in a knock,
drag-out fight over the definition of
a word. I also saw a man severely
cut within a stone’s throw of my
home in a quarrel over five cents.
oourse his family, and th« family
(of the man who did the cutting, had
to suffer^ for the aggressor in this
case wassenteaced to thechaingang.
The incidents that I mention have
been nod ate common in every rural
community. There is risible an im
provement, but it needs the hard
work of every fanner in the United
States to help it forward.
If half the energy spent on these
needless and silly disputes, many of
which blossom into tragedies, were
concentrated on getting along with
your neighbors and working to
gether for the common improve
ment, the so-called “rural problem’’
would be settled in short order.
You might take the initiative, for
instance, by organising an improve
ment society for the neighborhood.
If your neighbors will not fall in
with the idea, it is not going to
hurt you to go ahead on your own
hook. As soon ms they see the
results, they will “come arcoas.’’
For example, a number of yean ago.
a church in my neighborhood had no
shade strees around it. 1 went out
and put in about five dozen young
shade trees without consulting the
brethren. Remember, they had
had about fifteen years to improve
the looks of that bleak place with a
few trees and a little gram, but the
excuse always “no time.’’
The fint Saturday after the trees
were set out conference was held,
and my case was before that august
bed ay. The mem ben charged that
1 was not a member of that
church I had no right to put out
trees, gram or anything else, that
might beautify the grounds and
give them a lovelier environment in
which to worship God, without their
permission.
They wanted to know by what
authority I “butted Hi.’’ Aftie
veral houn wrangling, they
could not locate authority
or precedents of any nature.
Anyhow, the trees stood and today
there is a fine grove around that
particular church. That is the
result 1 was after, regardless of im
mediate thanks or appreciation.
And this is the teseon 1 am striv
ing to imprint on members of the
Farmers’ Union and farmers genera
lly—that the longer you wait for
somebody else to start the work of
improvement or uplifting, or the
more j ou yield to the temptation to
bicker ihstead of work hand in hand,
the more you will be postponing the
day of the settlement of the rural
problem. And settling the - rural
problem means making your own
home a lovely place to live in, giving
your children the squareat possible
deal in life, putting money into the
bank and getting more out of exist
ence.
County folks with brains have
bt ilt cities and improved them, made
fortunes for themselves and oiner
people.
Why can’t they do these thing*
for themselves and their neighbors
without leaving the country?
The material is all there—but
you’ve got to use it.
