Thanksgiving

This Is a good day to take stock.
Sit down in your easy chair after
that Thanksgiving dinner and check
over your assets. Put down health
on the list il you can. Then write
down the names of husband or wife,
father and mother. son and daugh-
ter--just as many names of these
dear relatives as kind Providence
has blessed you with.
Add now your friends, and may
their number be too great to be re-
ckoned.
Health, loved ones, friends-all
assets to be accounted far above
rubies.
But think a bit Isn't there some
thing else that can be placed on
the list?
Why not put down the opportun-
ity you have in living in this valley
that in truth flows with milk and
honey, that is smiling contentedly
after the harvest here in this north
west corner of our country? Why
not put down peace and freedom!
Millions in foreign lands would count
themselves fortunate to be away
from the tumult and desolation OF
battle.
Health, love, peace--a great trio
for which to thank the Almighty.
Assets all more precious than the
dollars and cents found on the usual
of affairs.

A PROPHECY

"a day will come when the only
battlefield will be the market open
to commerce and the mind open 10
new ideas. A day will come when
bullets and bombshells will be re-
placed by votes, by the universal
suffrage of nations, by the vener-
able arbitration of a great sovereign
senate, which will be to Europe
what the parliament is to England
what the diet is to Germany, what
the legislative assembly is to France
A day will come when a cannon will
be exhibited in public museums, just
as an Instrument of torture is now,
and people will be astOnished how
such thing could have been. y

Uncle Sam...PrevaricatOr

We don't like to call Uncle Sam
a liar, but We don't believe he tells
the whole truth sometimes. For
instance. have you noticed that pref
ty placard of his calling for enlist
ments in the navy now on exhibition
in the Lynden post office?
1t shows the glOries of navy life.
It pictures trim young men in blue
standing easily on big guns. looking
through Eyeglasses off into the dis
lance, or springing eagerly through
the sport of target practice.
1t tells of the excellent chances
a boy has in the navy of learning
a trade, of the good salary that is
given from the first, and of the OPP
pOrtunities' for travel.
But that poster of Uncle Sans
Ia strangely silent about the dark
side of the life In the navy. 1t does
not tell of the hardships of life at
sea. 1t doesn't mention the dangers
or the inconvenience of being fasten'

 TOTHE COTTON FUND
President Laird of Southern Manufac- turing Co. Makes Statement on
 Aiding Cotton Grower

Richmond, Va, November 7.-(Special.) E. C. Laird, president of the Southern Manufacturing company of Richmond, manufacturers of baking powder. an- nounces that his company has just sub scribed s10.o00 to the cotton fund being raised throughout the country under the direction of the federal reserve board. MT. Laird Is of the opinion that this cotton fund is going to put different face on business in the south shortly. On this subject he has this to say:
 T have with pleasure subscribed in class "A" of the cotton relief fund the sum of $10,000 for the Southern Manufac- turing company. This cotton fund of s135, 100000 now being raised throughout the country under the supervision of the federal reserve board will bring about a marked improvement in business condi- tions in the south very quickly. It is thought by those in touch with the sit- uation that this fund will be completed In few weeks and that the carrying into effect of the plan can be accomplished without delay.
 From this fund cotton planters will be able to borrow through their local bankers money on their cotton stored in public warehouses to'the extent of cents ger pound and at the interest rate of 6 per cent per annum. Such loans can be secured for 12 months and can be re- rewed for six months where good reasons
 an be assigned for such extensions. It Is understood that this plan will remove from the market for quite . period of time between three and four million bales of cotton. This will give immediate sta bility to the market and will establish the present prices as the bottom. This will naturally influence the cotton mills and the cotton goods jobbers te begin to lay in substantial supplies.
 ''The money that the cotton planters will borrow on their cotton from this fund will doubtless enable them to pay their indebtedness to the merchants. In turn. the merchants wju bs thus enabled
