Another thing to consider ta that the

It might measure all the difference be

American Shoes March Forward
w
When it was reported that one of the European
armies was equipped with American shoes, it was re
marked that “these shoes would only march for
ward."
In an industrial sense American shoes are aroinjt
ahead this Fall to a greater extent than ever.
Demand is heavy and factories busy.
Just now the stores are showing the Fall styles—
all of them creditable to our American shoe makers.
Rut for your individual need some shoes are bet
ter than others.
It would tie well to post yourself as to the merits f
of the different brands and the stores selling them,
by reading the advertising in The Herald.

h\w that Hilly Goat was shaking a
little as he spoke.
“Is he near enough to see ua?” hoi
aaked in a whisper.
"I do not think so yet. but he will

You ask rue if I am hungry In a min
ute, and w«* must (alk about the good
things in the basket.”
Hilly Fig watted until he hoard a
little noise in the bushes and then he
said: “I can hardly wait until it is
time to cat our lunch. Are you hun
gr>, Hilly Goat?”
He was trembling a little and hr
did not talk as loud as Hitly Goat
when he replied.
‘*l am always hungry when 1 think
of the goid things that your mother
cooks. Did she put in any seed cook
ies, do y*»u know ?”
Billy Tig began to understand now
that Hilly Goat was talking for tlie
benefit of old Mr. Bear, and he took
courage front Billy Gout’s manner and
answered, "Yes, and she put in two
pots of honey and a pot of lain and a
Jelly roll. I hope Mr. Hear does not
find that basket under the bush at the
end of tlie* path by the big tree. He
would enjoy that lioney and jam, to
nay nothing of the jelly roll.”
Old Mr. Hear was listening si! the
time, of course, and every time he
heard honey and jam, he grew so
hungry he could hardly keep from
jumping at Billy IMg and Billy Goat
and asking where the basket was hid
den.
So when he heard rvhere the basket
was hidden he did not wait a second,
hut hounded through the hushes and
away he went towards the tree at the
end of the path.
Billy tioat wafted a second and then
he said; H*» has gone; now Is our
time to escape; run Billy Pig as fast
as you ran or he will he hack and

Billy Pig did not need to he told a

•WAR WILL TEACH U. S. TO SAVE”
By B. C. Forbes, Financial Editor, Chi
cago American.
The war will help to cure extrava
gance, America’s national economic
sin.
We are the most extravagant peo
ple on the face of the earth. Most
civilized nations like to save; we like
to spend—we glory in spending, in
fact.
If Americans could only he induced
to become a nation of savers and In
vestors they could conquer the great
est trade markets of the world.
\Ye could then assimilate our own
securities and not he at the mercy of
Kuropo to the tunc of more than $5,-
000,000.000.
Debt is the curse of Americans.
Our manufacturers, our jobbers, our
merchants, our importers, our export
ers. all go in for doing business to too
large an extent on borrowed capital
—on debt.

Though scientific progress has made it

there remain many islands with w'hich

Conference on Training Teachers

other Institutions for the training of
teachers tor vocational schools, nnd

URGES STUDY OF LATIN-AMERICAN COUNTRIES
Special study of the countries of
Latin-America in schools In the Unit
ed States Is urged by Dr. P. P. Clax
ton. commissioner of education, in a
letter to hlgh-school principals. Dr.
t’laxton declares:
"We should teach in our schools and
collegia more of the geography, his
tory. literature, and life of the lattln-
American countries, and we should of
fer instruction In the Spanish and Por
tuguese languages to a much larger
extent than Is now done.
"All our relations with the republics
to the south of us arc bound to be
come much more intimate than they
have been In the past. The comple
tion of the Tanama canal, the changes
in commercial relations brought about
bv the wtr in Europe, as well as other
recent events, have served to call the
attention of the people of the United
States to the recent rapid growth and
dvelopnient of the Latin-American re
publics.
“These countries comprise an areu
three times as great as the Unite 1
States. They are rich in minerals,
forests, water power, and a wide rang*
of agr'cultural products. They have
?0.000,000 iif people, with governments
modeled after our own. Their foretell
commeree amounts to more than f".-
000.000 son annually and is rapidly in-’

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Earth’s Most Lonely Spots
By Tad
Our farmers and our cotton growers
are guilty of the name practice—they
incur debts and then trust to Provi
dence to enable them to clear their
feet by means of bounteous crops.
If the result is a general return to
old-fashioned Thrift, to rational in
stead of riotous living, the beneficial
effects upon the nation, financial, eco
nomic, social and even political, can
not be easily overestimated.
By prudent, intelligent thrift, the
people of America with their infinite
ly greater natural resources, can lick
every other people in getting out of
debt and accumulating savings suffi
cient to afford that sense of security
n 1 independence which the spend
thrift can never know.
Ostentatious luxury and real demo
cracy do not blend well. We could
get along very comfortably without
the former. Nobody would be worse
off and the republic would be better
off—to say nothing of the effect upon
socialism.
The group of eight Phoenix islands in
the ractfic has a total population of
only 158, while another little bit of the
British empire is Fanning island. This
is a landing place for the Pacific sub
marine cable, and usually there are
about one hundred people in the place.
The lonelleet of all parts of British
territory ie the Island of Tristan Da
Cunha, in the South Atlantic, which is
also the smallest inhabited Island In the
empire. It ia 1,800 miles from land,
has a population of 74 Scottish Am
ericans. and the Inhabitants get news of
the outer world usually once every two
yeare.—Exchange

Business Men's Club, Friday evening,

copies of the program of the confer

be addressed, before December 1, to
\Y. T. Bawden, IT. S. Bureau of Edu

charge of the arrangements.
"These countries are making rapid
progress In elementary and secondary
education and in Industrial education.
Several of their universities enroll
front one to two thousand students
each. The history of their countries
is interesting, and they possess a rich
and varied literature.
"A further reason for teaching Span
ish In our schools more than we do
is that It Is the language of one-tenth
of all the people claiming protection
under the American flag, as well as of
one of the culture nations of Europe."
