 As an indication of a nations gratitude for peace and prosperity. what could be more effective than the present outpouring of food, clothing and money to the victims of the European This country glad indeed this Thanksgiving Day finds us in the ranks the peaceful nations, sobered by the terror and devastation wrought abroad finds in it's own generosity the dearest voice of it's gratitude
 It has been vouchsafed remain at peace with honor, and in part to succor the suffer ing and supply the needs of those who in want, writes President Wilson in the Thanksgiving proc lamation Our people have looked upon their own life as a nation with deeper comprehension, fuller realization of their responsibilities well of their blessings and keener sense of the moral and prac- tical significance of what their part among the nations of the world may come to he. They have been quickened by a great moral stimulation. Their unmstakabe ardor for peace their earnest pity and disnterested sympathy for those who are suffering their readiness to help and think of the needs of others has revealed them to themselves well as to the world Our crops will feed all those who need food; the sef-possession of people amidst the most serious anXietes and difficulties and the steadness and resourcefulness of our business men will serve other nations well our own Never before have the people of the United States been so situated for their own advantage or so equipped to serve themselves and mankind"
 Benjamin Franklins precept of justice was; Wrong none by doing injuries, emitting the benefits that are your duty" and the similar course of thought in the presidents proclamation reminds us also of that other famous declaration of Frank lin: q join with you most cordially in rejoicing at the return of peace. hope it will be lasting, and that mankind will at length, they cause them selves reasonable creatures, have and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting threats; for in my opinion, there never was good war or a bad peace" Our present gratitude for peace should nourish within the conviction that in right is the only might that defeat In an unjust cause is better than success.
 After business depression of unusual severity which marked the months of September and October, 1914, as among the darkest in the commercial an nals the country, the first days of November saw the turning of the tide and Thanksgiving Day finds us enjoying the third week of strong upward movement that prosperous development and expansion in all lines Each day brings good news the opening of federal banks, the increase for our farm and factory products are but a few of the many specific for making this day one of true gratitude

On Early Christmas Shoppinq

Prepare immediately for the quick distribution of the largest bulk of Christmas mail ever handled
 is the just issued to his department by Post master General Bureson Postmasters directed to appeal to the public mail their holiday parcels early. There many advantages to early Christmas shopping and there is much being said about it that would that the middle of December would find it practically completed. AL though there has been a big improvement the past five years in this regard, still the week before Christmas always finds large number of beated, disgruntled. disappointed shoppers making life miser- able for the tired clerks The early shopper finds stocks of merchandise complete finds it easier to make selections and enjoys the freedom from the confusion and jostling that comes with the crowds later The salespeople give you better service the delivery people give you better service, the express companies and Uncle Sam can give you better service From a selfish standpoint there is everything to gain and nothing to lose. And if you will consider the question from the other side of the counter, then there is no argument to it; you will make up your Christmas list at once and do your Christmas shopping early"

THANKSGIVING DAY IN ARIZONA

Dear friends, 'tis meet in song to raise A note in Arizonas praise,
 As autumn days go by. Her course is onward, upward. true Like some white star that climbs the blue
 Of her uncouded sky. How wOndrous how diversified The scenes within her borders wide
 Revealed to you and me, High mesas, too, of shifting sand Where flora of the cactus brand
 Is all the green see. Below her rugged northern line In Coconinos groves of pine,
 The North Wind chants his psalms. Still south-n Marcopa's vales- A tropc opuence prevails,
 The Orient waves it's palms. Here, in the valley of the Salt, The fruitful scarcely halt To mark the winter time. Unharmed by frost, unchilled by snow The migrant birds reluctant go
 To find a fairer cline In sunshine steeped and crowned with flowers This pleasant heritage is ours
 Who have the vision clear To see vanage-place at hand The fairest spot in all the land
 In all the rolling year Rich treasure stores mountains hold Our flocks increase hundred d-fold,
 Our fruits are well supplied Some chartered rights votes have won That show which way the currents
 Of civic hope and pride. While Europe is embroileG in war, And knows the ills souls abhor,
 They. touch nor And thanks should never cease For Health and Comfort Joy and Peace,
 In this sweet land of flowers

PEODLERS ASK
OROERSBEF0RE
MAKING ROUND.
Dealers Demand Explanation
of New Federal Weight
Law From Inspector Me-
Kinley So as to Comply.

Street peddlers selling fruit in the
city did not appear today. The cause
WAS the announcement that the fed
eral net weight law is effective here
after.
While this law relates to interstate
shipment of fruits and other commodi-
ties, the peddlers and the commission
merchants of the city fears to dispose
OF their wares until an explanation
OF what is expected, was made by
George A. Mckinley, city sealer of
weights and measures.
Mr.. Mckinley received warning to-
day from H. e. Barnard, head of the
state department Of food and drugs at
Indianapolis, to watch for shipments
OF fruit into Richmond from Ohio. Mr..
Barnard emphasizes the need of watch
ing peachSs at this time. There is
some losskfrom theft and from shift
ing peaches and the natural softening
of the fruit brings down the measure
to some extent.
Every shipment must conform in
weight to the standard set by the
state and government regulating that
particular fruit. Housewives usually
suffer more than the commission mer
chants as they have facilities for OBJ
tanning correct measure.
Must Show Capacity.
Mr.. Barnard warned Mr.. Mckinley
that all measures must show capacity
The size of the basket no longer fig
ures in the deal. However. on the
side of the basket, must be marked
the exact amount inside. This does
not obtain where peddlers us certified
and sealed measures and heap them
us as required.
The chief trouble lies in the use Of
the baskets in which there is a cone
in the bottom. While the exterior of
the basket may seem to conform ex-
actly in size to bushel measures, such
baskets are usually short of the label
ed quantity.
Mr. Mckinley stated today that COM
mission merchants and peddlers as
we'll as grocers and other retailers are
at swords points with him because he
has warned housewives to demand
full measure and get the full weight
or fifty pounds to the bushel of peach
es. One commission merchant de-
Clared today the federal Net weight
act and all other similar laws and Or
dinances could not be enforced and in
dictated that the commission mer-
chants and peddlers would continue
under their old tactics as far as pos
sible without being endangered by
prosecution.
Gives Fixed Weights.
1T has been the housewife that has
encouraged such practices" Mr.. Nc
kinley said today. "By permitting
herself to be cheated, she has invited
others to cheat her. AS soon as the
custom of demanding measure by
weight becomes general, the peddlers,
commission merchants, grocers and
others will see the futility of Offering
short weight. If the housewives will
be on their vigil from now on, l pre-
dict that they will get more for their
money next winter than they ever
have before"
He has supplied the following lists
of weights fixed by the state:
