We All Have Reason
 To Be Truly Thankful

Let us make next Thursday the best Thanksgiving of our lives. Let us remember that gratitude should not be meas ured by the size of the family larder. Abundance should tend to contentment, but many a man in limited circumstances is hap pier than others of larger means. Real wealth and worth hes not Tn the abundance a man hath, but in the pure gold of content ment. When the heart is full the whole world is richer. Your smile will go a long way toward making someone else happy. A cheerful life opens avenues to future achievement hidden to him who sees no good around him. The past is a matter of record-the present is near and real-the future is limited only by yourself. Make it all it can be, disseminate the sunshine of cheerfulness and hope, and to history will be added a new chapter, and you will be the hero.
 Let us give thanks. The na- tion needs the inspiration of your song. There are plenty of groans and grunts and growls. We need more song.
 It hain't no use to grumble and com
 plain;
 It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice.
 You will feel more manly by being glad. It adds to your self respect and makes you feel that you have place in the world. Meet drones and kickers with a smile and you will do much to bring in the good time that is to be.
 Wherever you are, let the coming Thanksgiving be a real period of happiness and sunshine. Let us see if we cannot add to the worlds joy by the spirit of our own living.

valley on the north are in the shape of an ox-bow loop. These hills were former flood banks of the river. A second proof IS the presence of various kinds of soil in the valley. They are sand, clay. gravel and other sediment lying in layers. All these soils are easily transported by rivers. A third proof is the presence of large sand rocks at the foot of the hills. These were formerly on top of the hills, but the river undermined them and they slid down to the bottom. Also there is much talus on the slopes of the hills. Another proof is that if you will look at the hills on the north you will notice rim of strata about half way up. This strata marks the former river bottom.
 The river valley consists of three plains. What is now the alluvial basin or plain was for merly flood plain. This is from two to three miles across. The present flood plain is from one half to a mile wide, while the real channel is shallow and about a rod wide.
