Pithy Paragraphs
From Remarks of
Maine PIT Head

Every parents first duty
Is to their own children
and second, to the children of
the community.
"The schools of Maine are
hurt along two lines--the
clothes line and the telephone
line. There is too much
unfounded gossip and criti-
cism.
Parents are the ehildren's
ideals. Children are the par
ent's idols.
Maine must live up to her
motto, i Lead in Parent
Teacher Association work
and not permit it to become,
Il Trail.'"

Big Saving in Fees to
World War Veterans

The saving in attorneys fees of
nearly $4,000 to incompetent World
war veterans In Livingston county.
New York, is the effect Of a decision
handed down by Adolph J. Rodenbeck,
Justice Of the Supreme court in the
county
The decision marked the first vic
tory of the Livingston County Ameri-
can Legion committee IN action taken
to establish lower attorneys fees in
The cases of 16 incompetent veterans.
Inc veterans had been defrauded OF
more than $4,000 by their guardian,
George w. Scott, former attorney, who
Is how serving a 20-year term for en-
bezzIement.
Litigation involving the surety
company which bonded Scott followed
with the attorneys for the company
asking the court to sanction fee OF
$500 in each of the 16 cases. The Lee
gon went to the bat for the veterans
IN court, holding that the fees were
eAorhitant, and their contention was
sustained by Justice Rodenbeck's de-
cision.

THE HABIT OF GIVING

WING is the result of habit more
~ thar of temperament or DISPOSE
/ ton, | believe. People give because
they have been trained to it, or they re-
frain from giving because they have
never gotten used to it. OF course
some men are more naturally generous
than others, but even a man natural
ly generous must habituate himself
to practicing generosity or he soon
falls out of the habit.
The Hubert family always sat in the
pew in~front of US at church-father,
mother. and the five little Huberts
Each one of the children was evidently
given small weekly allowance say
small for father Hubert was not man
of means-and each one was taught to
drop in a few pennies each Sunday
when the contribution plate was
passed around AS regular as Sunday
came, the little Huberts had their
pennies in their hands. and each
seemed eager to catch the sound of
their dropping into the plate.
Father Hubert has gone to his re-
ward long ago, and the little Huberts
are grown and have families of their
own. but | have noticed that the habit
which they learned in childhood still
clings TO them and shows itself In 9th
er directions than in the support which
they give TO the church. There Is not
worthy cause which comes to their
attention which they do not as gen.
erously support as their incomes will
allow. 1t was a habit into which as
children they got. and maturity has
not broken it,
The war taught us lot about CIV
ing. Many who had never given to
any needy cause in their lives before
learned that they could both give and
save and still live as comfortable and
happy as they had ever before done
The people who give are not the ones
who suffer privation from the habit.
give and it shall be given unto you"
the Great Teacher proclaimed, and
most people who have formed the habit
of giving wisely have proved His words
TO be true
There is certain Joy In giving
which more than compensates for the
sacrifice which may be entailed.
The habit of giving brings double
pleasure; il brings help to those who
need it and pleasure to those who give

Thrift Shotun in Savings

Postal savings are more than $780,
100000 in the United States. There
are about 100000 depositors and the
average deposit is little more than
$500. In 1911, when the system was
established, the total deposits were
$677,145. The best year came in 1919,
with $167, $4,000. The decrease
since then is attributed to the fact
that a higher rate of interest can be
obtained with safety from other in
vestments. About one-third of the
total deposits are made in New York.

Those Female "Esses"

Says the Louisiana Press-Journal
fatty: The Press-Journal is always
willing to be accommodating, but we
absolutely decline to speak of con-
gresswoman, a directress, a conduc-
tress, or any of those female "esses."
If woman is elected to make laws
or to serve as a director she is con-
gresham or director just the same as
any other male man. The official title,
in our humble opinion, should have
no distinction of sex. 1t is the office
and not the manor the woman,
either-that should be emphasized.
