Thanksgiving---Then and Now

Thanksgtvlng---Then and Now.
OF all the monthly talks that DR..
Edward Everett Hale has given the
readers Of Woman's Home Companion,
none have been more delightful than
that in the November issue on Thanks
giving-Then and Now" With his
wonderful power Of notwithstanding,
DR.. Hale talks, rather than writes, to
his readers on the earliest New Eng
land Thanksgivings in their Puritanic
setting, and then of their latter day
celebrations, still strong Of the old-time
flavor pregnant with possibilities in
which notwithstanding steam cars
and motors play a large part. No one
could have written 60 delightful q
Thanksgiving homily but DR.. Hale.

Local Capitalist. Organize Savings

Monthly InstalImsnt. Paid Up and Special
Deposit Stocks to Be lssued-plan Is
Safe and Enables People to Own
Their Own Homes

The Home Savings & Building & Loan
Association is the name Of a new cor
poration organized in Cakes, The COM
pany is organized that the people who
want to save and make homes or busi-
ness places for themselves will be able
to get the money. The subject has
been much discussed among our busi-
ness men for some time and The Times
is pleased to see that an organization
has been perfected whereby people
who have idle capital, or have regular
income can invest it to their own bene-
fit.
A meeting of the stockholders was
held Tuesday evening at the rooms Of
the First National Bank and the follow
ing officers were elected:
Presidential. F. Klein.
Vice President-A. G. Ramharter.
Secretary-C. A. Newton.
Treasurer. E. Bunday.

C. A. Newton,
Thos. F. Marshall.
The plan under which it will be con-
Quoted is combination of the savings
and loan associations. It will enable
people to deposit money the same as
with savings banks, or to pay in stated
sums and get a fixed income out of it,
or to pay on monthly installments and
get compound interest on it. All in
terest, On savings deposits of every
kind will be guaranteed so that all who
pay in will know what they have and
when they can get it.
Loans win be made on monthly ia
stallment plan with stated payment
every time and fixed times when pay
ments may be made, so that each bor-
rover may know how much it will cost
him and when he may have it cancelled.
Furthermore, any borrower may
after eighteen months pay up his loan
the first of any month and according to
fixed table showing exact amount he
would have to pay when he wanted to
take up his loan.
The authorized amount of capital is
$3.50, ,0eo shares to be of 500 each.
The corporation is a strong one and
we lock for much building to bedsne in
Cakes next year. The lack Of build
ings % the worst hindrance to the
growth Of our city and the paaa is
evolved whereby citizens may be able
to own their own homes and pay for
them s4t Of their earnings.

The government announces that
it will send out once a month a
plain. practical article of about
1900 words giving such intorma-
ton as can be applied to local
road conditions, to the end tha;
each community may receive the
best advice obtainable upon this
important subject. From this an.
nouncement it is learned that
statistics recently compiled by
the public roads Office of the
United States department of agri-
culture show that there are nearly
2. SOC. 900 miles of public roads in
this country. only a small percent
age of which are improved.
Necessarily. it will be many years
before . large percentage of this
great mileage will be improved.
and in the meantime It is of the
utmost importance that the peo-
pie make the best possible use of
facilities at hand. An expenditure
Of nearly SSo,ooo.oo per annum
is being applied to the mainten-
ance of these roads. and it is safe
to say that the loss from improper
methods is we'll up in the millions.
"There are certain principals
which underlie the art Of road
building and maintenance, and
certain methods known to many
engineers and road builders which
are easily understood and as easily
put into service. Unfortunately.
these simple principles and meth
DDS are not universally known"
The monthly pamphlet or state
merit from the government pro-
poses to come to the relief of the
people by giving the necessary
knowledge. The government. also.
invites questions and descriptions
of conditions.
All road work is interesting and
most important. We can't have
too much Of il, though thus far
the majority of il has been of a
negative value only. Sooner or
later, however. intelligent effort is
bound 10 lead to the true solution

declare its preference. North
Louisiana has business interests
that urge in favor of short cam

busy for two months yet to listen
to the candidates siren song.
When the time comes we will read

Successful Temperance Campaign.

In recent interview with Mr.. R. w. Sears, the
senior member of the firm of Sears, Roebuck & Co.
of Chicago the facts of the sattus of the temper
ance question in the greatest mail order house in
the world were elected.
Mr. Sears himself is total abstainer and an
earnest advocate of temperance and sobrety. There
are ten thousand employs of the Sears, Roebuck
& Co. establishment, and each one of them is a
total abstainer.
1t all came about in this wise: For years Mr..
Sears had maintained rule in the store that none
of the employees should drink intoxicants during
business hours. If ploye was known to be
guilty of drinking during business hours he was
first admonished and if that failed of the desired
result he was discharged. This means of dealing
with the question was tbo mild for the aggressive
believers in temperance among the workers in the
store. They advocated the plan of demanding that
the employees not only abstain from intoXicants
during business hours but that they abstain during
other times and that any employees of the business
who was found in a saloon within eight blocks Of
the stbre for any purpbse be discharged.
Willie Mr. Sears Thought that these regulations
were rather stringent, be yielded to the nsistence
of number of the meb and submitted this ques-
ton to atvote of his TIN thousand workers. The
result was quite surrEising. Nine thousand of
them voted for total ab inence and absolute prohi
bition, so far as the S4ars Roebuck & Co. estab-
lishment and employees we're concerned. The result
was quite wonderful. after the Inauguration of
the rule above referred Ito the city of Chicago
passed an ordinance makin the Sears, Roebuck &
Co. neighborhood prohibition district.

A Human Cork.

Bathing in Great Salt lake is an unique exper-
fence.
Flights of steps lead down into the water from
the interminable platform along which the bath
houses are situated. The water is quite shallow at
first and you find a rare enjoyment for time in
wriggling your toes about in the salt that forms
the bottom in place of accustomed sand You
obliged to wade out some distance before you ex-
perence the peculiar buoyancy of the lake. First,
you feel your feet trying to swim out from under
you. You find it more and more difficult to walk.
You begin to float in spite of yourself. Then you
realize you are non-sinkable. You can't sink if
you want to- Throw yourself on your back or sit
down or try to swim and you bob about like
rocking chair in freshet. You feel as though you
had been turned to cork. You can't help looking
at the phenomenon subjectively. You don't see
that there is anything peculiar about the water.
1t looks and feels like any other bathing water
until you get some of it in your eyes or in your
mouth. Then you wish you hadn't come. Ocean
water is sweet in comparison. In fact the chem
lists tell US it is eight times less salty,
You can't drown in the lake by sinking, but you
can be sufocated to death, which is just about as
uncomfortable and undesirable. We found signs
everywhere warning us against being too talkative
or too frolicsome in the water.
When we out brought with us large
deposits of salt on our skin. As the water evap-
GRATED we found ourselves covered with white crys-
tails. Only a strong shower bath of fresh water or
a good clothes brush can put you into fit condi-
ton to dress.-The Travel Magazine.

Bishop Spalding begins his lecture on opportunity
thus:
Glow shall live? How shall make the most

he shall live for if he live rightly whatever is need

therefore its whole circumstances may be made to
serve the purpose of those who are bent on self

And work it is that wins. ANY other way Of
winning is unworthy of consideration. A true man
would not want to win any other way. Life is
