IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE.

The Improvement League met in
regular session Thursday afternoon
Mrs. Morgan presiding. The gather
ing was small, yes, and thin, but that
did not interfere with their enjoy
ment of the fine program
Snail audiences and fine programs
seem to be the rule in the League.
Mrs. Ewart McGavren sang gra-
ciously, responding to an encore.
Mrs. Spafford read and talked on
"The Universal Language (nusic)
and concluded with two songs, which
were all too short.
A very fine paper on American
ization" by Mrs. Barrett, was then
read by Mrs. Sniff
Mrs. Barrett can read. but was con-
fined to her home by illness.
Plans for the next meeting were
then made and eighty seven women
members Of the Improvement Lea
que, are confidently expected to be
present the first Thursday in March
when Mrs. j. S. McGarven has charge
of the program. One woman is urg-
ing that the other members come out
and help improve the Improvement
League, that it may improve Mo. Val
ley.

Timber N South Africa.

As the importance Of providing a
future supply Of timber begins to be
appreciated, i is interesting to note
that q. ]. Laschinger, past president of
the South African Institution Of En-
Cheers. points to South Africa as one
Of the worlds best fields for timber
growing. The work must be done on
large scale by the government, as
individuals cannot wait for the re-
turns. and his observation has been
that the various kinds Of pine are the
trees most suitable. The variable
Winds exert such q twisting upon
growing trees that straight grained
timber of certain kinds is difficult to
obtain. Pine seems to withstand the
comforting influence more effectively
than other kinds, and very fine,
straight-grained timber of this sort is
produced. AS a, great advantage to
the country, the planting of many pine
forests from the equator down to the
Cape is urged.

WHY THEY CALL EN- PAIL
BEARERS.

The name pallbcarers for the friends
of the dead who carry the coffin to
the grave is of somewhat indirect
significance. Pail comes from pal
lium, which means cover or man
tie and may be used to designate any
kind Of cloth. But in olden times it
was used specifically for the heavy
covering that was draped over the
coffin at funeral ceremony. And
it is for this reason that the men who
bore upon their shoulders the coffin
came to be called pallbearers.

reminded his son that the latter, as

the Berlin foreign office, and throw
fresh illuminating light upon the re.
lations between the ex-kaiser and his

his father about his misgivings, but
unsuccessfully tried to use the King
