A suggestion from Missouri:
THE country has been blessed with
things which tend to and have made 1t
better morally, civilly and commercial
ly. We have enjoyed richer fruitage
and received greater dividend from the
toll. labors and earnest efforts Of our
citizens than the people OF any other
country. The State Of Missouri has adj
vanced in all her internal improve
ments,s and has marked new epoch in
her civic, commercial and religious
life"
From Nebraska:
THAT we are happy people can be
witnessed in the troops of children,
young men and maidens as they pass
to and from our schools and institu-
tions of learning in the faces Of our
people as they go in and out of their
homes and meet each other on the
streets and highways &c
New Jerseys Views.
New Jersey presents this view OF the
matter:
The passing days carry their meas
ure of defeats and successes; the
speeding years bring their sorrows and
their joys, but as the world moves on
toward that ideal state when enmity,
Jealousy and covetousness in mems
hearts shall be supplanted by charity
and love for their brothers, the days
and years contain fresh reasons for
happiness and rejoicing. For reasons
best known to an all-wise Providence,
horrid conflict is waging among the
warning nations of Europe. carrying
death and devastation in its train and
presenting to us. by striking contrast,
the magnitude of those blessings which
flow from International peace and the
contentment of that prosperity which
follows fruitful fields and bounteous
harvests."
Little Delaware contributes this:
Our lands have been made to pro-
duce abundant harvests and the yield
of our fruit has been more than plenti-
fal-to this extent our country has en-
joyed the comforts of prosperity"
A plea for charity along with thank
fulness comes from Connecticut:
$50 in these days of thankfulness
here for peace may we not forget the
lands across the ocean where there is
no peace, and that it is peculiarly Iihe
part and privilege of the people of Olis
great land to show sympathy thru
sacrifice in ministering by their gifts
to those upon whom hunger and cold
and untold suffering of every kind have
been forced by the hard hand Of war"
Similarly an appeal comes from
Maine:
Maine has been favored by nature
during the seasons of 1914 resulting in
more than average crops, and with an
unusually favorable season for har-
vesting them. While we have suffered
some setback in manufactures and
trade. the prospects for the future,
aided by the most terrible war in his
tory, now raging in Europe, seem en-
couraging. I wish to urge upon our
people the contrast of our peace and
prosperity with the distress and suf-
fering in Europe. and ask that they
contribute literally for the relief Of the
unfortunate, but unblamable victims
Of the war;
The Pennsylvania summary Of things
to be thankful for is:
THE commonwealth has been sngu-
larly free from the scourge OF cpl
denies. A conciliatory spirit has
wrought harmony in the relations be-
tween employer and the employee. A
the industry of the husbandman that
the harvest have been bounteous to
such extent as to more than meet our
every necessity
The governor Of South Dakota puts
this on postal card:
"Transcending in value every other
estate which a people Of an individual
may prize and hold dear is the posses
