CAUSE FOR THANKFULNESS

This Thanksgiving Day is an in
vention of old times, says the New
York Journal. 1t reminds us OF n
day when men were more simply and
more genuinely religious than they
are now.
But old fashioned Thanksgiving is
by no means out of date. We need
the day and the spirit of Thanksgiving
as much as we ever did. The spirit
of thankfulness is healthy, modest,
courageous spirit. There are few SO
crushed with temporary misfortune
that the whole world seems black to
them.
But Of all men really worth while a
great majority are filed with thank
fulness as they consider themselves
and the world 1t is a good world.
It gives us at least chance to do our
best to succeed if we can. 1t is q
pleasant world, with changing fash
ions, changing views, constant changes
in ourselves even from one age to an
other, that we may not tire of exist
ence. 1t is an intensely interesting
and exciting world, If we take broad
view of it.
Here we are like tiny flies glued
TO a big ball that whirls through
space on spiral track. Where we
came from, or where our earth came
from, we don't know. Where we are
going, or where our earth is whirl-
ing us to, we don't know. We have
interesting and different beliefs,
which we call religions. We have
stopped butehering each other for
our beliefs. Let us be thankful for
that. AS our earth rolls along she
keeps in her track, lodges comets and
other spheres, attracts the sunlight,
produces her crops with regularity
and keeps us safe. Let US be thank
full for our safety and our various ex-
citements, as we sail on, glued to this
giant flywheel.
the successful man should be thank
full that he has another chance, many
other chances ahead of him. Let us
all remember one great fact with
thankfulness--the world is better than
il ever was before; the average in
come is bigger than ever-so is the
biggest income; the average life is
longer than ever; justice is more even
ly distributed, rank injustice even at
tracts attention, that's n wonderful
change; there is less cruelty, more
kindness everywhere The rich man
buys popular approval at high
price, instead of buying slaves.
Slowly but surely we are crawling
along toward real civilization. Let
us be thankful.

without placing too much stress on the
matter, the young man said he was at
taehed TO the commissary department
M the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
The National Biscuit Company, he
said. had sent some stale bread TO
the Academy and he had promptly
shipped il back. Being in the city,
ne said, he visited their place and
obtained check for the amount
paid for the bread. His story did
not sound "fishy,' because the young

handed over to him.
The firm made inquiries through an

check was worthless. A complaint
was lodged at headquarters and the

FULL OF GINGER AND SNAP.
The Midskipmen Are On to Their
Job-0fhcials Selected
For Game.

The Navy football players went 10
work with great spirit yesterday al
ternoon To put ON the finishing touches
for the final game with the Army
next Saturday. The practice was So-
cret, as viii be all the practice during
the week. There wfll only be two
more full afternoons for practice here,
as the team leaves on Friday morning
and the practice Thursday is likely 10
be short.
The team is not in the least disoour-
aged by the fact that only one score
was made against Virginia Polytcch-
nic ON Saturday. The Nirginians had
a strong team and the Navy team is
believed 10 be capable OF much
stronger game than il put up. The
Navy contingent feels certain that the
team will show stronger game in
every department next Saturday.
The fact that Syracuse defeated
the Army team ON the same day also
goes 10 cheer the Navy team. IL tho
Army had won by only small score
il would have been thought that the
West Point players purposoly kept
the score down, but il is not thought
that they purposely allowed defeat

years ago, was an addition to the
coaching squad, SO that, with the reg

not lack for instructors. There Is
