4 THANKscIvrNc THoUGHT

Though the war in Europe has
spared us somewhat, how profoundly
thankful we should be that we are
spared from the bloodshed, DiIlage,
ruin. and heartbreak that have blight
ed countless thousands of homes In
Europe. How grateful we should be
that no one here faces the starvation
which menaces thousands there.
Even In the matter Of financial
gains we should count ourselves as
blessed. The fact in a nutshell Is,
that long series of fat years, to-
gether with more diversified farming
have enabled our farmers to hold
their cotton for better prices. and
this holding has now forced the cot
ton up from five and six-cent figures
