sometimes the best thing that can be

is when two people disagree. mid Mother Nature.

it is out of disagreements that some of the best things in life hap- pen. Little Joe Otter and Mrs. Joe disagreed. Mrs. Joe had bft their

. home in a bank bdslde a deep pool where the entrance was und- .' er water. It was what might had

called a perfect Otter home.- The water of the pool was so deep that even in the coldest weather the ice.never froze thick enough to close that doorwaY- There was I nice long hall leading up to I comfortable bedroom where the

thought it a perfect home.

Mrs. Joe thought the same thing, but she wanted I change. So while Little Joe was away hunting and fishing for several days. she had looked around. And she had found the great hollow log in which she uas now living. She had moved in right away. She hadn't been back to the old home since.

said Little Joe. ”aud I like the old home best."

”Stay there then," said Mrs. .it)i'. "You can be comfortable the-re and I can be comfortable hcre."

So it came about that Little Joe and Mrs. .loe had two homes. one for him and one for her. Some- times they went hunting and fish- ini: together. They even went on one or two long trips together. But when they were at home one was over at the deep pool and the oth- er was over in the hollow log. It was a plan thht worked out very vieii. The fact is. they seldom were there excepting to sleep.

Mrs. Joe was very careful in her coming and going. While there wasn't anybody she was afraid of she still wanted to keep it I secret that she was living in the big hollow log. It was nobody's business but her own and she want-

ed to keep it that way. So when- ever she returned to it she tried to make sure that there was no nne in the neighborhood to see her. When she left it to go hunting she was just as careful. So for I long

They are good trav- elers and they don't mind going a long distance to get enough to eat. They are wonderful swimmers. While Laughing Brook and the other brooks were frozen over, ex- ceptlng where the water ran too swift to freeze, the two Otters went up and down them fishing with no trouble at all. Sometimes they would travel on the ice, running Ind then sliding along on their stomachs, just as boys and girls run Ind slide on their feet. So-it was that they got fun and not work.out of making long trips. They knew every brook and every pool in every brook for a long

They knew which brooks had the most fish and which brooks had the best fish. They knew. where the most crayfish were to be found. They are very fond of crayfish. So it was that both were fat when other folks were very. very thin. They had all they want- ed Ind now they had two homes without refrgeraton.

After that. like his lath- er before him, Frank went ex pioring for metal or oil or Iny thing he could find. ,After years of work and effort, he struck oil in 1937 on an ll-acre tract in the Turner Valley of Alberta. This was a stroke of fate since Frank promised to pay 320.000 for the land even though he had "only 9100 cash." '

It was the first ex ploration ever made in the vast lava and cinder-cone wasteland. The year was 1924.
