SHOWS THE NEED OF THRIFT
Wisconsin w. S.. S. Educational ri.
rector Cites Number Who Die
Without Leaving Estate.

Thomas w. Boyce, w. S S. Educa-
tional Director of Wisconsin, in a re.
cent talk on opportunity" showed
clearly the need of thrift education by
quoting figures showing that out of
every one hundred men who die, three
leave an estate Of $4,000 or over; fit
teen leave an estate of $4,000 to $1O,-
600; and eighty-two leave no income.
producing property. Of one hundred
widows, eighteen are in comfortable
circumstances forty-seven are obliged
to work for a living and thirty-fve
are in absolute want, dependent upon
charity. He quoted facts and figures
showing that the tremendous indem-
nifty imposed upon France by Germany
in 1870 taught the French to save and
was a blessing in disguise to that ma
ton. He made a strong plea for
thrift instruction, suggesting 'Little
Lessons in Thrift" as text material.
He also emphasized the necessity OF
using the Pupils Thrift Card enabling
a child to make deposits of one cent
and more.

Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army is an organiza-
ton formed upon a quasi-military pat
tern, for the revival Of religion among
the masses. 1t was founded in Eng
land by the Methodist evangelist Will
lion Booth, about 1865, under the
name Of the Christian Mission, the
present name and organization being
adopted about 1878. 1t has extended
to the continent of Europe, to India,
Australia and other British posses
sions, to the United States, South
America and elsewhere. It's work is
carried on by means of professions,
street singing and preaching, and the
like, under the direction of officers en-
titled generals, majors and captains
Both sexes participate in the services
and direction of the body on equal
terms. Besides it's religious work, it
engages in various reformatOry and
philanthropic enterprises. It has no
formulated creed, but it's doctrines
bear a general resemblance to those
common to all Protestant evangelical
churches, and especially to those of
MethOdiSm.

fine TREES IN PHILIPPINES
Nowhere Are There More Enormous
Trunks Than in the LoWlands
Of the Islands.

Until we fell heir to the Philippine
islands we had no dense virgin tropl-
cal forests belonging to the United
States. The Hawaiian islands are well
within the tropics, but the topography
of the islands is not such as to induce
the gigantic growth Of trees. There
are no denser or more enormous tree
growths anywhere in the world, now
ever, than are to be found over great
areas of the Philippine lowlands. Inc
soil is of excessive richness, the rain
fall is heavy, and the climate combines
to induce a riotous tangle of vegeta-
ton which is unimaginable to those
who have not actually seen it or are
familiar only with the orderly and usu-
ally comparatively scant groWths OF
the temperate zone. Even the great Tor
ests of the far West, which cut more
board feet to the acre than any other
forest lands in the world, cannot COM
mare for a moment in luxuriance ana
profigacy of growth with the troplcal
forest. They impress you, it is true
with having been many centuries IN
the making, but on the other hand the
rank and enormous growths OF the low
land tropics make you feel that they
have always been there since the
world commenced. The northern Tor
ests are reposeful; the tropical jungle
is savage, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

OutcIassed Joseph's Coat.

If a prize we're given at Essex Mar
ket police court for variety in costume.
it would have been awarded to a
man who appeared in court the other
day to account for a missing over
coat, writes the New York CORE
spondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
He came before the judge brilliant
rainbow. He had tan shoes, pink
socks, gray checked suit and a green
bow tie, also red hair. In reviewing
the case the court attendants agreed
that the east side Beau Brummel not
only carried off the first honors but
that he surpassed any multicolored
display that had appeared for many
moons. The famous coat of Joseph
had nothing on the complainant, even
without the overcoat. The brief man
ner in which the case was dismissed
made the court attendants believe that
such a screeching regalia was warm
enough to combat any kind of weather,
even without an overcoat.

FOREIGN BORN LEARN TO SAVE
Children in Wisconsin Schools Invest
in w. S. S. and Take Message Of
Thrift to Parents.

Wisconsin people Of foreign birth
are as active enthusiasts of the Thrift
and War Savings stamps system
{ of saving as are those of American
birth.
Especially is this true of the schools,
which hundreds of little foreign-born
children attend daily. These children
learn, through their teachers, the
value of the Thrift stamp, and in turn
tell their parents Of the system, buying
thrift stamps at the school from their
teachers, not only for themselves, but
for their parents as we'll.
One Of the most progressive schools
In the Thrift work in Milwaukee and
one that has the largest sales of stamps
has children attending belonging
to 26 nationalities. Each speaks
good English, but most of them
say that their parents cannot. How
ever, they interpret the teachings of
their grade teacher, and their par
ents quickly learn the advantages of
buying Thrift and War Savings
stamps.
A series Of lessons on Thrift has been
sent to all the teachers in the Wis
consin schools and has been adopted
as part of the daily curriculum. The
card system Of saving also has been
adopted in the schools of Wisconsin,
with the result that a number of chill.
dren save their pennies one at time,
eventually buying Thrift stamps and
changing these later for the War Saw.

It's What We Do That Matters.

It isn't SO much the money we get
as the use we make of it that matters
Bishop Samuel Fallows, known the
United States over as wise, bril-
liant and patriotic cleric, in his early
youth worked 26 days for $6-and was
paid in quarters at that. But Bishop
Fallows even then had grasped the
right economical principles and he
made these hard-earned quarters pay
high dividends both financial and
moral. The quarter invested in a
Thrift Stamp, the sixteen Thrift
stamps built into War Savings Stamp
will mean more than face value to the
man who saves.

MUCH LIKE OLD-WORLD CITY
Capital Of State Of Washington Has
Retained Impression Given II by
Its Builders.

Those who had the naming Of noun
tains and cities Of the Northwest chose
with a lavish hand from the names
Of gods and goddesses of mythology,
and Indian tribes. The Olympic noun
tains might well have been those from
which Jove hurled his thunder. And
the sylvan town of Olympia. the CAPT.
tai Of the state Of Washington, seems
more fitting for the temples of Greece
than for those of lawmaking of an
American state.
With the exception, possibly, Of An
napolis, Maryland, no state In the
Union has chosen such an Old-wOrld-
appearing hamlet for its capital, a
town almost segregated from the out
side world. At the end Of wonder
fully beautiful waterway, deep-seated
in the hills and forests, Olympia has
none Of the atmosphere of politics and
big business.
The town is a very small one, so
small indeed that the average over
land train would not even hesitate as
it passed through. Its water front I'M
til recently, has been adorned with
pleasure craft, fishing fleets and can
merry boats. The fjords of Puget sound
afford unlimited opportunities for ish-
ing and pleasure excursions.
Here loggers and lawmakers have
met in the past to solve the mighty
problems of legislation and numbering.
Here cannery boats tied up in winter
for overhauling. Here in time long
past men tramped in from Tacoma and
Seattle with supplies which they could
not wrest from nature, on their backs.
The town climbs short distance In
to the surrounding hills from the
water front, and then stops. The
state capitol resembles dignified seat
of learning in northern Europe; In
fact nearly all Northwest buildings
bear the stamp Of the home OF their
builders, the Scandinavians, Scottish
and English settlers.

Questions.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
am coming to you for some infor-
nation and also some advice. l am
a girl Of IS and would like to know
If it is proper to go with different
boys or keep just with one certain
one? l am not engaged and there
fore / don't think it improper to go
with different boys.
The information I would like to
know is this What is the name and
address of the school in Fremont
that is for girls to go who wish to
become teachers? Can girl only in
the 18th grade teach in a country
school?
Hoping to see my letter in print. I
remain, b. b. q.
When girl because Of youth, or
for other reasons, does not care to
so with boys seriously, it Is better
for her to parcel out her smiles and
society to a variety, than to hand
them in one large package to a sin
gle deserving, or undeserving. ad-
mirer. Such a course offends some
natures, however, who, even in pass
ing friendships, prefer more sin
certify and stability than the former
course implies.
Fremont college, Fremont, offers
a normal course. Address the reg
istrar of the school for information.
A girl in the 18th grade may teach
in a country school if she can secure
the necessary state certificate, but
it is very much better for her own
future that she finish high school
course before leaving school.
s. j. M.-We have very good
letter for s. J. NJ, who wishes a
place as housekeeper. If she will
send us her name and address we
will put her in correspondence with
home where her services would be
paid for and appreciated.
A Reader-Bracelets are always
worn to some extent, but are not
now in particular vogue. The
wealthy woman's fancy this year Is
flexible bracelet of diamonds-but
bracelets are pretty warm in the
summer, after all.
Pals-Whether you are too young
; to go with boys or not, you are too
young to defy your parents wishes.
The length Of time you have gone
with a boy doesn't determine the
propriety Of kissing him. If you
expect your kiss to mean anything
to others, it must first mean some
thing to you. The girl who gives
carelessly such privileges one after
