Inal, the Russian "aava," meant gl0ri-
ous, being etymologically akin to the
English word glory" and was proud
" taken as their name by the Slavonic
people. But when the Germans re-
duced hosts Of the Slavs to servitude
their name, from malice or accident,
as Gibbon says, became synonymous
with "servile." 1t retains no more sug-
gestion of its racial origin now than
does "ogre," which is really HUN

The season for sowing clover is now
nearly over, but it may still be we'll to
know that the Department of Agricul-
ture has found several samples OF red
clover seed from a number OF dealers
badly adulterated with yellow trefoil.
One sample found in Connecticut was
more than half trefoil, while another
from New Jersey was forty-five per cent
of the same adulterant. The trefoil
seed is imported at cost of about five
cents q pound for the express purpose
of mixing with clover seed selling for
nearly three times that price. Such
rascality is deserving Of severe punish

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving day is peculiarly
American, peculiarly our own,
No other nation on earth has q
holiday like it, probably no other
nation would have ever conceived
such a holiday 1t is American all
the way through--in spirit and in
the chief item Of the bill of fare to
wit: the noble American turkey.
Thanksgiving day was origin
ally an agricultural festival and its
celebration was confined to the par.
ticular locality in which it orig
nate. But today it is national.
Every true American. man, woman
or child, loves this glad day, in
which a people pours out its
thanks to the Almighty for the
bounteous blessings vouchsafe
during the preceding II months.
Today our thanks are not merely
for good crops, bat for the peace
of our country among the nations
of the world, for the prosperity Of
every line of business and indus
try, for the freedom from pestience
and various and sundry other bless
ings which a generous Providence
has poured uI on us. 1t is an in
spiring thought. that Of great peo
pie with common accord, Offering
prayers of thanks to the Giver OF
All Things. 1t is not a matter of
creed, not matterof faith, but IL
universal ground upon which all
can meet and participate, no matter
what the form of his worship may
be. Christian, Jew, Mohammedau,
whatsoever creed man holds to,
he acknowledges the sovereignty
of "a Supreme Being and on this,
our Thanksgiving day, he utters
his gratitude for all that which the
Omnipotent has done for him, and

before they have had time to
secure cash for their checks.
Loggers and railroad con-
tractors are complaining about
these employment men, as every
man that has been employed in
the woods this winter will be
needed on the drives and on the
railroad work that will be done
in this vicinity next summer.
The employment man who
ships men to the western states
at the present time is doing a
