THE MODERN THANKSGIVING.

In DAYS gone by old Father Time.
Has wonders worked. In a modern way;
But gives ne still Thanksgiving Day.
We love the shouts Of girl and boy.
We hail the pumpkin RE with JOY.
The happy hearts are young ana gay,
Nor stop TO think OF the modern way.
AS Off to grandpa's house they go.
The roads are fine. Nc need OF snow.
We hear "Honk" Honk'' as forth they
sway
In pleasant weather-the modern way.
IT'S smiling grandma at the loor.
The kindly face we love adore.
Rioh blessings at the threshold lay.
We welcome glad Thanksgiving day
We steo inside and there behold
The progress Of the times retold.
We drink to health, and the modern
way.

But ] suppose it's marvellous things.
The wealth and riches make US gay,
But let's 60 back, Thanksgiving Day.
To time. when winters frost and chill,
With snow piled high, / love II still.
The good old fashioned horse and sleigh
Were in those deys the modern way. d.
The old home stood not far from town.
The turkeys baked, were crisp and

And mother dear taught us to say.

Overselling Steel PrOduOtion


In their eagerness for profitable contracts
abroad II is now apparent that American steel
manufacturers have oversold the producing
capacity OF the country and home consumption
must wait. In every line OF industry demanding
STEEL domestic consumers are experiencing diff
tculty in obtaining anything approaching prompt
delivery and from Washington comes the news
that construction OF naval vessels for which bids
were just received cannot be commenced until
next summer. spurred by the great increase
In traffic the railroads are placing orders for
large amounts OF equipment, increasing the un-
supplied orders and TO complcAte the situation
further industries whose demands for steel
products are continuous are ordering largely for
the future to protect themselves against lncreas-
Ing prices and possible failure to obtain the
goods when they are really wanted. While no one
begrudgss any legitimate prosperity that has
come TO the steel Industry II Is unfortunate that
the domestic demand should not have the first
call. for while steel workers are going overtime
to fiji foreign orders. other American workers
must be left idle for lack Of material with which
TO work or by prices for steel which check
domestic industry.

Death from Rattle smoke.
PORTLAND. Me-. Nov. 22-To the
Editor Of The Bee: wac very much
interested In the letter you sent me in
regard TO death from a rattlesnake bite
As you will see by reference to my
article, I qualified my statement that
| had never yet succeeded in getting
a properly authenticated case OF death
Of human beings from rattlesnake bite,
by the exception OF one case in
child. In fact. I should have said, to
make my position perfectly clear.
death OF any adult human being from
rattlesnRke bite: as have had several
reports. apparently well authenticated
though none Of them with any medical
or other expert scientific notification
OF death in children
Since then, / have received several re-
ports Of apparently authenticated cases
Of death from rattlesnake bite. which.
though none OF them were supported by
any medical testimony. should be will
ingto accept as fairly authentic, because,
curiously enough. every one Of them is
in child or very young boy or girl.
As I have elsewhere said several
times. the average rattlesnake has venom
enough to kill an animal up to about
thirty or forty pounds weight. And /
should think 81 quite possible that a
bite from a large RATHER. especially on
the naked foot or leg or hand. might
prove fatal In child; although I should
make the mental reservation as to how
much OF the fatal depression was due
to the customary treatment with huge
doses of alcohol

cipally for the commission uld
often be reduced materially II certain
changes were made and the agent VINO
knows, and is not in the business SOLE
ly for commissions, will, at least ad-
wise his clients how rate can be re-
duced. Service Of this kind is and has
always been my specially, and have

have not, but will continue the policy
because 1t Is right. do not ask for
business on any other ground than
value received. One Of the most serl-
GUS handicaps Of the business is that
often a minimum rate has been Sc

novice can issue a policy just as well

Governor Manning has given out
the following with reference to the
storing Of the cotton crop: Recently
we have seen a depression in the
price of cotton, which, from our in
formation, both as to the size and de-
mand for the crop, is, in my judg-
ment, unwarranted. 1t is possible
that this slump was caused by reason
of the fact that a large number OF
sellers placed their crop on the mar
ket, and for the time being the sup
ply was greater than the demand. 1t
is therefore of the utmost Importance
that we market the crop slowly and
gradually in order to maintain a
higher scale of value and prevent an
other such depression in price. l full
ly realize, of course, that debts are
due and must be paid, and in order
to meet these obligations, our farm
i0a
der, therefore, for those who have
cotton on hand to market it slowly
and gradually, and at the same time
meet their pressing obligations. L
would suggest that the resources OBJ
Atainable through the Federal reserve
ybanks are ample to enable the farmer
to hold his cotton and make short
term loans on same at reasonable
rates of interest, so as to hold the
cotton off the market until an ad-
vance in price takes place sufficient to
make it profitable to the farmer. 1t
is necessary, in order to secure loans
from the Federal reserve banks, that
the cotton be properly warehoused
and insured. In my Judgment it is
necessary to properly warehouse and
insure the cotton, whether money is
borrowed or not. ] would therefore,
urge our people not to allow their
cotton to be exposed to the weather
and the dangers from fire, especially
at this season of the year. We have
made short crop, and 1t is of great
Importance that it be protected in ev-
cry way possible. We must realize
the full value of this crop. This we
can do if we will take advantage OF
the opportunity that is offered for
cheap money through the Federal re-
serve bank and warehouse our cotton
and market il slowly"
