Keep The Wood Pile High Peep in tll( Klondike, trappers traditionally leave their cabins unlocked with the food in the larder and dry wood heaH-d beside the door. Only one thing is asked of the man who partakes of this hospitality, he is to leave the wood pile as high as he finds it. There are those who see an apt analogy between that obligation and the responsibility of the present generation to those who follow. They cite the incontestable fact that the H'oplo of today are benefitted by the foresighted social and scientific labors of those who have gone before. In this respect it will be well for this generation to stop, look and listen in regard to the national debt. At the present rate of spending we will saddle future generations genera-tions with an intolerable debt a debt that was created in a few short years, but will take generations to pay off if they are more frugal than we and live within their income.
