happiness and comfort; when adverse

Gsorsia's Reminder.
Georgia people are reminded:
I'm material benefits our state is
most richly endowed Her broad fields
offer to intelligent industry every
agricultural product of her sister
states. The variety of her crops re-
lieves her of the necessity of depend
ence upon any one 81 them for pros

Michigan people are given this idea:
In all the years since 1875 there has
been no greater reason for giving
thanks to Almighty God than in this
year 1914, The United States is at
peace with all the nations of the earth.
The stars and stripes symbolic to all
the world, life, liberty. and the pur-
/ suit of happiness Sunshine. rain and
toll have given US an abundance of the
gOOQ Things OF lie. Our glorious ma
ton has gone forward unswervingly
towards the goal OF civic justice and
civic righteousness"
And here is the way it is put up in
I, Idaho:
las the years roll by, divine prov
idence bestows abundant favors upon
the American nation. The year 1914
has been no exception. When we con-
template the condition of the nations
of the earth. no people nave been so
blessed and favored as have the people
of the United States of America. Our
people have been better fed better
clothed. better housed and better paid
, for their labor than have the people
of any other nation in the world; our
harvests have been abundant: we have
made progress in material things, ed
ucation and moral uplift; we are at
peace with the world and in happy con-
, trast with other great nations where
carnage. destruction and desolation are
the rule. The horrors Of the war now
in progress in other lands can not ade-
quately be described, and it is suff-
cient cause for thanksgiving and
prayer that our land is spared this
wanton waste Of life and treasure
bringing poverty and sorrow to millions
of homes
