oTTUMwA,s THANKSGIVING.

From the standpoint of the mater-
ial Ottumwa has much to be thankful
for on this Thanksgiving day. This has
been a prosperous year for the en-
ployer and the employed There have
been no dissensions; work has been
plentiful. 1t has been a year of distinct
gain for the city in many ways. The
factories of the city have been produc-
ing an increased output and have been
branching out for trade far beyond the
confines of the state. The retail estab-
lishments have prospered and they,
too, have greatly enlarged their field.
Ottumwa has grown to be wonderful
retail trading center. The railroads
have brought in hundreds of people
daily from the towns and cities in a
wide radius and they have been com
ing to Ottumwa in constantly increas-
ing numbers.
Ottumwa can well be thankful for
the achievements of the past year and
for the strong undertone Of confidence
made manifest on every hand which
promises still greater achievements
for the future. AS Ottumwa sits down
to it's Thanksgiving dinner today,
breasts are stirred with sincere feel
ings of thanksgiving for the manifold
blessings of the year. a year of
achievement. And the holiday will
close to find Ottumwa preparing to
put its shoulder to the wheel and push
on to the newer goals to be crossed in
the new year that will soon be upon
us. The extension of paving over a
larger section Of the residence dis
tricts, the establishment of the OF
tumwa park, the settlement of the in
terurban question, the successful com
pletion of the. good roads work plan
ned, the securing of a morning train
from and an evening train to the
south on the Milwaukee-these are
some of the goals which progressive
Ottumwa has determined it shall
reach. We must push on to them when
this Thanksgiving day has passed and
set by new store of material bene,
fits in preparation for the next
Thanksgiving day.

porch on the home, and most every
body else is planning an increased sx-
penditure out of earnings
This situation is not one that should
cause worry, but rejoicing. 1t means
that we have entered upon another
era of great prosperity. The trouble
some problem" we are now facing of
making heavy outlays for betterments
and engagements and increased
exnenditures out of earnings"
rs very good indication, first,
that we have the means to make these
expenditures, and, second, that we are
confident the reign of prosperity will
be heightened sufficiently to make the
investments we are now making and
contemplating, paying investments. 1t
is much less of a troublesome problem
than that which arises in panicky
times when we haven't the money 20
make any heavy OUTLAWS for better
ments and engagements. and wouldn't
feel safe to go ahead if we had the
money.
The proposition that seems to
confront us now is not scar
city of money, but an immensely
of work, There is always a
scarcity of money when everybody is
employed. The money, is scarce be-
cause it, like the worker, is employed.
That condition is different than when
the money is scarce because of being
boarded. In fact, it is not the money
then that is scarce, but the circula-
ton. Nobody is employed and the
banks are afraid to loan money out to
industries which are not running. A
factory that is lying idle with its
hands laid off is considered risky
proposition by the banker, and when
such is the case the manufacturer
finds money exceedingly scarce when
he attempts to borrow for future op-
erations.
But this is not the condition now
and it is a different kind of money
scarcity that the financial writer's are
discussing. The factories are running
to their capacity. Everybody is en-
ployed. The banks are loaned to the
limit and the only reason they find
a shortage of money on hand is be-
cause it is all loaned out for eXpendi-
ture in building operations, in enlarg-
ing and lettering manufactures and
in giving an increased production to
factory and shop which means in
creased employment and more gen
eral distribution of the fruits of pros
perity.

The FIRST THANKSGIVING.

The celebration of Thanksgiving
day this year will be of a vastly differ
ent character than that of nearly three
hundred years ago on the first Thanks
giving day. The conditions under
which the annual festival of gratitude
will be celebrated this year afford such
striking contrast to those which
brought about the first observance,
the ter-centenary of which will be cei-
ebrated in twelve years, that the Kan
sas City Journal believes few re-
minders Of the stormy story of the
Pilgrims struggles may not be out OF
place. Some tales, says the Journal
even though oft told, will bear repeat
