THANKSGIVING.

.s-s.ss $3.50.
This is the day for praise,
The day on which to raise
Our hearts and voices to the Giver OF
all good.
Who gives us every day,
No matter how we pray,
All blessings that we need-rain, sun
shine, riches, food.
We thank Him first for health,
Which is the greatest wealth
That can be given man while he is
here below;
For, take away the health,
Fen with abundant wealth,
No real pleasure can he ever know.
We thank Him, too for friends;
Affection strong that sends
From heart to heart an impulse strong
and true;
For father and for mother,
For sister and for brother,
And too, for many another
Whose love responds to ours the
whole life through.
We thank Him, too, for work,
Which, though we often slirk
And view it as doubtful blessing in
disguise,
We know that it is best,
And let the matter rest
Content that we shall sometime see
With newly opened eyes
We thank Him, too, for love-
That love that from above,
Comes down and shows in some way
in each soul we meet;
That love that ever lives;
That love that ever gives !
The best it has to give to make LIES
living sweet.
We thank Him now for all
The blessings great and small
That come to us while on this plane
We're living;
For hope, and JOY, and trust,
And the certainty we must
Some time, some where, Join in one
long Thanksgiving.

The Coming of the King.

Despite unfavorable weather conditions
practically all of the available room in
High school hall was occupied Monday
evening when Dudley Bucks cantata
THE Coming of the King" was pre-
scented by the High school chorus under
the direction of Miss Emma Gregg, in
structor in music in the Incorporated
school district There were about 50
voices in the chorus, assisted by local
singers, including Miss Laura Leitsinger,
Fred c. Adams, George e. Adams,
George M Clay and w. A. Gilbert.
Miss lZetta Stewart was the accompan-
list. While the solo parts were all that
could be desired, the work of the chorus
especially is to be commended as re-
liecting not only thoroughness and eff
ficiency in their instruction, but intelli-
gent conception on the part of the In
dividual members. Even the fathers and
mothers of the young people, and OF
these there were many in the audience,
were surprised at the general excellence
of the renditions, and the effect will be
to stimulate their interest in what Is
being done for their boys and girls In
the line of music in the schools. Dud-
ley Bucks music is of the highest grade,
and when once it Is mastered there is no
desire left for music of lesser stand

as good as he was, and he must know
of one. After some thought he finally
agreed to send one, and the next day the

Quay's Statehood Fight.

The statehood fight in the Senate has
grown into one of the bitterest conten-
lions of recent years. Senator Quay an
nounces that he will stop at nothing
to win his struggle for statehood for
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico,
and Senator Hanna and the other Re-
publican leaders pronounce the methods
of the Pennsylvania Senator reactionary
and almost revolutionary and say that
they will not hesitate to precipitate an
extra session of Congress If that becomes
necessary to prevent the success of
Senator Quay's program. Quays latest
move has been to attach the statehood
bill to the agricultural appropriation bill,
and he has given notice that he will
also attach it to the sundry civil and the
post-ofice appropriation bills. So long
as he maintains his majority in the
Senate. which now numbers about twelve.
there will be no possibility of defeating
him except by talking these appropria-
tion bills to death.

charge of the league was held Monday
night, when it was voted to award the
league championship to the Y. NJ c. A.
team and to re-arrange the schedule so
that the Y. NJ. c. A. team Will have no
more games with the local league teams.
The team will not be dropped from the
league, however, but will remain under
the league management and will share
in the receipts. This action was deem
ed necessary on account of the Y. M. c..
\. teams superior efficiency, due to
long experience. The team has not been
beaten in any league game and probably
would not be If it should continue
throughout the series as originally
scheduled. The committee felt that I'M
der such circumstances public interest
would wane If the team were allowed to
continue playing. The committee will
arrange games every two weeks between
the Y. NJ. c. A. team and some strong
out-of-town team and expect that the

To the serious part of his speech, in
which he spoke of mis- pride in Vermont
and OF the stand of Nermonts fathers
for freedom for themselves and devoted

tempered by love and guided by educa-

his community, leader in his house

"Nermonts record in arms is exceeded
only by her naval record. The two
battles on Lake Champlain, in 1715 and
in 1914, were the equal in point of brill
