MUCH TIMBER IN LlTHuANIA
country's Forests Felt the Heavy
Hand Of War, but Are Being
Systematically Restored.

Within its present borders Lifhu-
ania has nearly 100000 acres of
forest land of which 46 per cent is
the property of the state, says the
bureau Of foreign and domestic COM
merce in a recent consular report.
The principal woods are pine and
fir, About 60 per cent of the pro-
duction Of the state forests is con-
mmed in the country and 40 per
cent is available for export. In gen
cral, Lithuania timber is considered
a high quality. Many of the for
csts consist of trees of comparatively
great age-pines 100 years old, frs
100 years old and oaks that have
stood from $50 to 400 years,
About cne-half of the 6,750,OOO
acres of forest within the former
boundaries of Lithuania belonged to
the estates and nearly all the rest
to the Russian crown. Under the
Russian regime and during the war,
under German occupation, the for
GSts were badly exploited. Plans
are now being made by the govern
ment for systematic exploitation
with assistance of British capital.

THE LESSON OF THRIFT.

One does not have to bark
back many months to recall the
period when industrial workers
were pointed out as the best
dressed customers of the stores
that dealt in silk shirts and 9TH
er articles of apparel that were
once regarded as among the lux
Iies. There is no consolation to
persons out of employment in
telling them that they should
have saved part of their money
when they were earning the
highest wages in the history of
american industry yet that is
exactly what should have been
done.
Thousands of persons permit
ed themselves to be deceived by
the industrial activity which
prevailed during and immedi-
ately after the world war. But
the so-called "rainy day" arriv-
ed in spite of the optimism, or
perhaps Indifference. of a large
number of workers, and they
ind hat they are poorly pre-
pared to stand the effect of in
dustrial depression. A few dol
lars saved when employment was
at high tide would enable these
persons to maintain themselves
now in reasonable comfort.
1t is too late now to provide
against the present financial E.
mergency, but is there not rea-
son to believe that other emer-
gencies will arise in the future.
Just as they have in the past I
The practice of thrift is com
mendable at all times. It be-
comes a principal with the sue.
eessful man, and in the case Of
wage earners especially it pro
ldes a safeguard against the
day when employment may moi
be so remunerative, or, as in the
case Of many thousands at pres.
cnt, it ceases entirely.

TEACHING MANNERS
IN SCHOOL

AN
Discussion of the subject of
teaching ~politeness in the pub
lie schools in the bulletin of the
New York state department of
education may be accepted as an
indication of the need of. such
Instruction along more effective
lines. While politeness is some
thing which may be acquired
through instruction during the
school age. If home training is
neglected, the task of the teach
Ell will be greater.
Many children are lacking in
the principle of politeness-a
grace which is not inherent, but
Is acquired by imitation of 9th
ems and by careful teaching Of
the things that make for polite
conduct. The rules of the Boy
Scouts have done much to over
come deficiencies in politeness in
boys, The scouts teach that ii
is not unmanly to exercise those
graces in conduct which many
boys appear to regard as effem-
mate. The scouts are taught
that politness is one of the first
evidences Of m%anliness, and they
m recreant to their obligations
If they regard it lightly.
Why should not politeness BIZ
made a part of the instruction
Of every grade school? For Z
few years, at least, it might b.
necessary to teach politness il
the high schools, for it is no
certain that the critic of conduct
would find everything to his lik
ing in the higher classes. Ant
many older persons might lear
something worth while through
the things taught to their chill
dren in the schools on politeness
