'Gbe 'Echoes 39 'ilitbuania SECOND PRIZE Lithuania. consists Y homeland, chiefy of a low plain watered by the Nemunas and its tributaries. In the north west are the Siauliai hills. Inland winter lasts four months while the average July temperature is 18QC. The annual rainfall is 580 mm.. July and August being the wettest months. There are regions of fertile black earth but also much clay and sand. There are shifting sands in the Pruzenai and Velka- viskis districts. Agriculture is our chief occupation. about -1-OW! of the land being under culti- vation and about 2274 being meadow and pasture. Our chief crops are potatoes. rye, oats, barley, wheat, peas, and flax. of which oats, barley, wheat. rye and flax are exported. Poultry keeping and stock-raising are more profitable than grain-growing. so the smaller farmers go in for the former. Of the unoccupied territory 17? is in forest. mainly pine, oak. fir. birch. maple. lluch is used for fuel. since no coal is worked. Efforts are being made to in- troduce peat as fuel in order to regulate our forest cutting. Hundreds of factories were built dur- ing the great war. The chief industries are food and beverage production, wood- working, clay and chemical works. The tanneries of Siauliai were formerly the largest in the world and are now begin- ning to recover. The iron industry of Kaunas is also noted. Amber is obtained from the blue earth near the Baltic and worked into smaller wares. llfost of our trade used to be with Germany. The litai Cone-tenth of a dollarl is used as our money. Our imports are mainly tex- tiles, metal goods, sugar, herring. salt and tobacco. The Neniunas is our means of communication, as roads are poor in many parts. Every male I.ithuanian citizen is sub- ject to military service for 18 months from the year in which his twenty-first birthday falls. . The European language is written in Latin alphabet. Our people are Hebrews, Germans, Russians and Lithuanians. Therefore you see that every person mu st be able to speak several languages. Our people are well-built with fine fea- tures and very fair hair. blue eyes and delicate skin. BE.-xTR1C1-3 NEIRIIXN, IB Com. O TO A SNOWFLAKE Lovely little snowflake, Falling from the sky. Little thing of many shapes. Why are you so shy? You come up to my window, And then you dodge away. Stretching little arms of snow. For me to come your way. I cannot come, oh Snowflake! You know it too, I'm sure, So give your little self a shake And do not try to lure. EUNICE ARBISTRONG. H.A.I. THE OLD BOOK It lies on the table in the sunset Broken. dusty. and forlorn. Its pages ripped from the binding. Scribbled, battered and torn. Its cover is black with the ages. A remnant of earlier days. Yvhen the children of every household Respected their father's ways. Its story of youth and maiden. Is passed by the modern age, For the books and modern novels. That today are the popular rage. PAUL COLLET. Ind. Arts IA.

'Ghz 'Echoes TA Glimpse of Scotlanb '1'lllliD PRIZE N the county of Ayr stands a small village named Newmilns. where I was born. It is a lovely little place with paved streets and is situated in the Valley of the Irvine. It is bordered on the north side by the policies of Loudoun. owned by the Earl of that name and of which the poet. Tannahill. wrote his famous Loudoun's Bonnie VVoods and Braesf' The castle of Loudoun is one of the finest in Scotland and it was under a yew tree in front of the castle that the treaty between Eng- land and Scotland was signed. On the south side of the village are the estates of Lanfine and Sessnock. and in- side of each estate are man,gfniFicent homes and grounds open to the public. The industry of the district is the weaving of lace which is on a gigantic scale and any person paying a visit to Scotland should not fail to see through one of these factories. Newmilns is famous in different. ways. It was frequently 41 visited by Rollei-t Burns. who lived only nine miles away. The village and district were very prominent during the times of the Covenanters. many of whom were killed because they worshipped God in their own quiet way. hlany monuments in the district were raised to those that fell in this just cause. The responsibility of caring for and repairing these monu- ments is undertaken by the local Y.M.C.A. The scenery of my home district is wonderful. One can stand and admire the Iovely trimmed hawthorn hedges which divide the fields. In the woods, which are full of pheasants and pa1't1'id,9Q6. are to he found masses of wild hyacinths which gives one the impression of looking at the sea. There are also miles of moor- land which are naturally covered with purple heather and on which thousands of sheep are raised. JEAN R,xLsToN. If. Com. REMINISCENCE By the fireside I sit and dream Of the days of long ago Of long forgotten youthful scenes As embers softly glow. With pipe in hand. my chair drawn close. I sit and watch the blaze. The years roll backwards once again To boyhooCl's happy days. And as I gaze into the fire A lovely face appears, With golden hair and bright blue eyes And smiles that bring the tears. lIy hair has grayed. my eyes have dimmed, Long years I've been alone. It soon will be she'll welcome me To our eternal home. Life,s ship is nearing yonder port. No more shall I feel pain, ltis well worth while to see her smile And join her once again.
