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.

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.

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. Islands Where Communication With the Great World is at Rare Intervals. Tristan da Cunha. Though scientific progress has made it possible to do a double journey between England and America In a fortnight, there remain many islands with w'hich it takes years to communicate.

Conference on Training Teachers The United States commissioner of education has called a conference of specialists in charge of departments In stale universities, normal schools and other Institutions for the training of teachers tor vocational schools, nnd presidents or directors of such Insti tutions. to be held In connection with the 11*14 annual convention of the Na tional Society for the Promotion of Induatrtal Education, Richmond, Ya. The conference will be held, by In 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.

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 vitation.
