LEXINGTON.

Around Kennewick, Wash, there
is an increased interest in dairrying,
it being brought about through the
enterprise of few men who have
imported several hundred cows from
other states and sold them to the
farmers who will engage in dairying,
they to be paid for through the
cream checks monthly, One-half OF
which will be applied to that pur-
pose by the creamery. During the
dry season period of the cows no pay
ments will be required. This plan
gives encouragement to the farmers
who have agreed to take the COWS
and care for them in the very best
way so as to obtain the greatest
of milk and butterfat from
them. Four carloads of HOlstain

THE mIDDLEmAN.

Published statements to the effect
that 10000 heads OF families in New
York, 500 retail dealers and several
hundred farmers in Pennsylvania
grange and other organizations, may
ors OF cities and other forces are al
ready arrayed against the middle
man. and that the movement to elm
mate him is spreading, brings him
forward as a subject demanding seri-
Gus consideration and discussion.
So far the anti-middleman move
ment is directed almost exclusively
against the trader that stands be-
tween the producer and the consumer
OF bread stufis. 1t is held, on the
one hand, that the tiller OF the soil
is able to obtain but a meager profit
on his products, and, on the other
hand, that the consumer is forced to
pay an eXorbitant price for them, the
difference going to the mddleman
whose service consists merely in pass
ing the commodities along.
A mayor in a middle west city has
demonstrated that it is possible to
buy directly OF the farmer and to
sell directly to the consumer at a |
great saving to both. That is, allow |
ing Il fair profit from the second, the
selling price may be still very con
siderably lower than under the pres
ent system. But practically every
thing that is now produced by labor
finds its way through intermediary
channels to the consumer. This is
as true OF a spool of cotton as it is
OF head Of cabbage. Labor is at
one end OF the line, the consumer at
the other, and between them are the
commission men, warehouse men.

tailOrs-the middlemen. that is to

In the very necessity of the case,

For These Things We Give Thanks,

Thanksgiving day we should all be
able to give thanks to our parents for
these things:
For clean name, unsullied by ques-
tionable transactions, honorable in
human relations.
For an untainted birth, with such
health as purity transmits, and for the
brooding tenderness that guarded and
cherished us before birth and made
careful preparation for our coming.
For wholesome food, sufficient cloth
ing, and comfortable shelter until our
coming of age, or during the lifetime
of our parents.
For education, according to the best
standards of which they knew suited
to our individual needs and possibili-
ties, and preparing us to earn our
own livings.
For such knowledge OF our bodies
and minds, and such reverence for
them as makes intemperance impos-
sible.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1911-11-24

lage the missionary, passing through,
had left few pages Of the gospel in
the Indian tongue. Our Indian read
and rejoiced. Measuring the mission
ary's footprint, he fitted it with mag
nificent moccasins, and travelled 200
miles to give them to the missionary
as an expression Of his gratitude.
Thus the missionary was enriched by
the present, but the Indian was en-
riched by the thanksgiving.
The best thanksgiving is a happy
heart. Blossoms mean nothing on
dead stick. Once when the czar Wis
tied Paris the ingenious French, it
being winter, fastened to the bare
boughs Of the trees innumerable paper
flowers, very pretty as a spectacle, but
very unworthy as a symbol, since they
were false. Our praise will be quite
valueless unless it is rooted in the
daily life.
Train yourself to be grateful for the
common blessings. There had been a
great cotton famine in Lancashire,
England. For lack of material to
work upon, the mills had been idle
for months, and there was great dis

emily source of the bits of blessing
which fall to them, and certainly man,
much more richly endowed and
blessed, should do at least as much,
and express his THANK you'll" both
by the testimony Of the lips and the
generous actions of the life.
Thanksgiving day is a proper and
convenient occasion for considering
both the duty and the grace of graft
tude to the great Giver Of all good.
But Thanksgiving day is not simply
for the abstract discussion of general
IDEAS present in thought or stirring
the emotions. This day does-or
should-have a direct governing re-
]ation to the ministries of the hand
and the unfolding of the wallet. :.
When it is celebrated in the spirit cs
the scriptural exhortation to thank
fulness, it becomes a time of rejoic-
Ing in the truest, fullest sense, be-
cause it joins praise to God with prac-
teal ministry to the poor and unfor-
tunate. Thanksgiving should issue
in thanksgiving. Praise should be-
come a practice. Gratitude must be-
come a temper and tendency of the
life. So will God be glorified and
gratified, and men, by their cordial
and constant recognition of his good
ness, be lifted in the scale of being
and be the better fitted to receive
from heaven more favors still-Rev.

exhorted to be Of good cheer and to
count up their mercies." Paul's
words are not only hortatory, but
also mandatory. 1t is the duty OF
the Christian, amid all vicissitudes,
to be thankful. A believer is never
justified in forgetting Gods benefits
70 him. He is expected to figure out
every now and then the sum of the
divine favors that have been shown
to him, or what might be called the
statistics of salvation. 1t is true that
divine mercies have been innumer-
able, and cannot be tabulated with
anything like completeness; yet the
Christian believer is exhorted to
dwell upon these mercies in thought
and to render vivid to his mind, by
frequent reflection, so many of the
visitations of divine favor as he can
discern providentially unfolded in
his past life.
There is, then, a duty of thanks.
giving. Praise is the expected thina
gratitude is demanded. God is dis
appointed, and even angered, when
men receive his gifts without return
Ing thanks. The Lord is gracious,
but that is no reason why the chill
dren of men should be ungraciously
thankless. Thanksgiving is a part
of the code of duty of a Christian, it
is an integral portion OF the deca-
logue of moral action. It is not a
kind of extra service, or superfluous
activity added on to the body of duty
otherwise complete, but is of the
warp and woof of the Christians OBJ
legation. "Be thankful" was not the
idle, chance remark of a sentimental
apostle, but is the New Testament in
depreciation of the Old Testament
burden OF blessing.
But If thankfulness is a duty, it is
none the less on that account a grace.
IL 1t is not optional, it may certainly
be ornamental. The fact that a
thing or trait is demanded by the
moral law does not render the sac |.
nee OF that thing or the exhibition
OF that trait any the less noble or
lovely. The grace of gratitude in
particular is peculiarly lovely vir-
tue. There is even, we may say, an
aesthetic quality to thankfulness.
Praise is comely for the upright"

thority on the beauty of holiness.

Thank Him for All.

"Giving thanks for all things unto
God."-Eph. v. 20.
Thanksgiving is the mark of truly
religious man. If we are always beg
ging God for his mercies without ex.
pressing to him our sincere gratitude.
We become selfish in our demands. God
delights to impart his mercies to us,
but he also takes pleasure in our
gratitude to him for his benefits. Only
an appreciative heart is able to fully
enjoy Gods unfailing goodness. It
is certain that the more we try to
praise, the more we will see how our
path and our daily way are beset with
mercies, and that the God OF love is
ever watching to do us good.

In every life a thousand blessings,

We were deprived, their return would
be welcomed with equal transports.
But the going does not excuse us
