Need of ReforestatIon in Japan.

The forest area of Japan is decreas- ing at the rate of one million acres a year This area is being cut away partly for timber and lumber and for firewood and partly to make the land available for the cultivation of rice.
 The forests of Japan at the end of 1914 covered about 45 million acres. Extensive efforts are being made to increase the acreage of forest lands by planting surfaces now cleared off with young trees of quick growth. It has been urged that it is necessary to replant all surfaces as soon as they are cleared for commercial purposes in order to lessen the great loss an- nually caused by floods in the noun talns.

IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA
MOST ADVANCED REGION OF THE
 MUScovlTE EMPIRE.
Characteristics of the People Are in Strong Contrast to Those of the Central Districts-Are More
 Like the Westerners.

The South Russians, or the people of Little Russia, from among whom the colossal Muscovite empire draws some of it's bravest, steadiest fighting men, are a people distinguished for their contradictory characteristics in a land that is puzzle of contradic- tions. The South Russians, the tough est fiber of the Russian armies, are people full of interest, of quaint phi losophies, and of pleasant ways, ac- cording to bulletin issued by the Ma tional Geographic society. The sketch reads:
 Between Central and South Rus sfans the contrast is as strong as be- tween the Prussian an dthe Bavarian As in Germany, the vigor ofsthe czars mighty empire is more sharply ex- pressed in the north than in the south, and yet, in the case of both empires, much of the national strength and en- ergy are furnished by the south.
 Russian life is sprightly in the south. In the north, it is sullen, mo- notonous, oppressive. In the south
 
 of well-being and comfort. The north ern peasant lives in colorless villages. in grayish-brown thatched houses built of logs, which are stretched along unsanitary streets, redolent with the accumulations of carelessness. Around these houses there are almost never any signs that their occupants ,..A .,Jy, <.f forts toward improvements. The roads are mostly just ground left between two rows of houees; the yards are just ground left bare around them.
 "The South Russian builds his home and orders his village, in the rule, picturesque and inviting. There are gardens before the door, and orchards round about, and the houses of the village are painted white or pale green. Torches, balconies, glass and vine-covered verandas relieve the ar chitectural uniformity. There is more cleanliness, gayety, and softer man. ners in the south to tempt the friendly judgment of the stranger.
 The people of Central Russia con- fess that they are often more harsh and more neglectful of appearances than they of the south, but, also, they claim that the northern Russians are more faithful, consistent, sturdy and more tender than their brothers in Lit tie Russia. North and south, east and west, all agree that in South Russia true laziness may be found in unsur- passed expression. 1t is said that the indolent South Russian will say to his wife: Little wife, say "woa" to my horse; have a pain in my tongue
 Otherwise, the South Russian has become more like the Westerners. He dresses as the German, or the Eng lishman, and he more often takes an interest in the world without than the peasant of the north. He is better nourished, better educated, and, pos sibly, tride less religious. He is also of purer Slavonic stock, less melan- choly Finnish is in his blood, and his dialect is strongly marked
 He runs more to ornament, more to bright colors, to singing and to storytelling than does his northern compatriot. He is an unabashed and all-inquisitive questioner. asking the

entirv stranger whether the stone in his scarfpin is genuine or not, how much his neckwear cost, what his re- ligion is, and other things somewhat personal and unexpected. But he is generally willing to be as free and frank himself as he demands Lazy. the Little Russian is vigorous and suc- cessful; of elastic, friendly tempera~ ment, he is an unpeered fighter; argu- mentative at all times, about all things; he is clannish and patriot, and a stay-at-home he is, yet burning with interest for all that goes on in the world

 Winter arrived last Sunday night. We have barred the garden gate, covered the flower beds, brought in the porch chairs, taken down the screens and put up the stoves; that is, all who haven't a good, old-fash- toned fireplace.

If we have been like the wise ant and stored away plenty for the winter months, all will be well; but if, like the grasshop- per, we sang and danced all summer, we will now be in need and have to go hungry some times.

Shakespeare Club Meets

The initial meeting of the Shakes
peare club was held Saturday after
noon at the home of Miss Nora Blome
This was social gathering and had
been looked forward to with interest
as in these meetings the hostess is at
liberty to display any originality she
may choose. After delightful after
noon spent in recalling the good times
of summer, each guest was handed a
most mysterious basket beautifully
decorated with autumn leaves. With
these we were asked to walk a short
distance to where a huge bonfire had
been prepared and the odor of deli
cious coffee revealed the spot where
lunch was to be enjoyed; each dainty
basket containing bounteous repast.
A marshmallow roast concluded the
delightful afternoon.
