November Munsey's
Has Cheerful Message

The Thanksgiving number Of the Mum
sey carries a message Of optimism, as
surance. and faith in the nation and its
resources. Its notable contents show
that extreme care has been taken in the
selection of articles that drive home the
truth Of the country's physical and eco
nomical soundness.
The leading article Is a masterpiece

ment novelist, James Lane Allen, and
is entitled THE, National Spirit Of
Thanksgiving" There are two notably
strong articles on the farmer-''The
Princes of the Earth" by Forrest Cris-
sey, and "Why the American Farmer is
Rich,'' by Isaac F. Marcosson. The
former sums up the achievements of
meE who have made a business of cul-
tvating the soil, while the latter fore
casts what Mother Earth will this year
Yield in the matter of crops.
The fourth big feature is remark
ably interesting story about The
Beecher Family" by DIR. Newell Dwight

serials, ten clever short stories, the
Financial Department, with answers TO
