THANKSGIVING
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF AT Coed Old sIWash-"

4 MOTHER Thanksgiving is about
~ to descend pleasantly into our
midst, and the patriotic American
citizen should pause as usual and con-
slider his blessings for the year which
has Just passed.
There have been unusual facilities this
year for being thankful. The climate,
for instance, has been very productive
of deep gratitude No man who has
passed the summer IN the superheated
middle west has emerged therefrOm with
out being deeply thankful because he
does not have to die right away and
move much farther south
The price Of beef is another great
cause for Thanksgiving. This year beef
has gone so high that it has become
impossible for many American citizens
to use it at aI-thus saving them vast
sums.
No year has been more favorable for
the implanting of 1eep thankfHlness
among the poor than the one which is
Just about to expire. The poor man has
gone through 1913 without worrying
over his Mexican investments, the
slumping prices Of his bonds or the dark
murkY cloud on the horizon labeled
Financial Legislation" The poor man
has had only his ordinary troubles this
year and the old line politicians have

ARIZONA GETS MUCH
BETTER COAL RATES

Phoenix. Ari1.. Nov. z7.-Coples OF
the interstate commerce commission s
order in the Arizona coal rate ease
show that the state corporation cons
mission got practically everything Tor
which it asked Rates have been re-
duced all along the line
New rates from the Gallup field to
all Arizona points are made, with the
execution Of points on the Morencl
from the new order because IT is
narrow gauge. which ne-essitates the
reloadinS Of c1al into its own cars,
and Il did not make a profit for IFS
owners last year
The present rate from Gallup to
Phoenix on coal is S.. SO, a ton and the
new order reduces it 10 $3.50. The
slack coal rate is reduced from $500
to S2-S5. This is fair sample OF
the reductions
Several years ago a base rate OF
$3.50 ton was made to Mesa. me
rates for intervening points were sup-
posed to be graded backward toward
Gallup. it is claimed. but this vas
never done. The $3.50 rate applied
back to albuquerque
Another feature Of the controversy
was that nearly all coal shipped to
Arizona, except in the extreme s9uth-
east comes over the santa Re. va
AIbuuueroue and WinslOyr. even when
the distance is shorter over the south
ern Pacific. Rates were charged on
the basis Of the long haul which IS
in violation Of an interstate commerce
commission ruling The commission
holds that the rate between two tsiven
points must be based on the shortest
railroad haul

The belief, expressed frequently Of
late on Fl Paso streets, that the can
ncnading in the vicinity Of Juarez
might have had some effect in pro-
ducing the recent rains, is derided by
observer n. D Lane. Of the local sta
ton of the United States weather bu-
Teau.
'The theory that cannonading can
produce rain was exploded some years
ago DX the weather bureau. ne SAID
The bureau conducted an exhaustive
and expensive series of tests with dy-
Mantle on the bluffs north OF FL PasO.
Many FL Paso residents of the city re-
member the reVerberations well. There
was no apparent disturbance Of at
mospheric conditions as a result. The
fact that storms pass across some
sections of the United States every
few days accounts for the frequency
with which battles have been accom-
panied or soon followed by rainfall"
'sWhy don't those fellows spend
little money and get a couple of good
second rate boxers in Juarez. and make
money" said r. H Rinehart, WedneS-
day afternoon. IF the officials OF the
I. A. c. would secure jeff Clarke. or
any other good man of the light di-
visions they would draw a $4,000 house
in Juarez- 1t can be done. with the
expenditure of $500 or $500"
