Thanksgiving is Near.

The annual day of thanks set aside by the
president of the United States will soon be here
Mental association of ideas conjures up a fat
turkey surrounded by either dishes, aahappy fam

ries forgotten for the moment.
The sentiments Of the day, however, call for
other thoughts. Big issues are being settled
in Europe through the expenditure Of human
blood Few families in those war-torn countries
have tho heart to give thanks, unless it be for
the preservation of father or brother from
slaughter. The United States has been spared
this narrowing experience. The whole nation
may we'll give thanks for the peace that dwells
with US.
In our own community it would be good
thanksgiving spirit for neighbor to meet neigh
Dor and greet him, God bless YOU" Animosi-

trivial matters might well be forgotten
Let the whole city give thanks by forgetting
the bitterness OF past differences and unite in

Harvesting Machinery.

Richmond annually turns out thousands Of
pieces of agricultural machinery that help the
farmer gather his crops and expedite their ap-
psarance on the market. The products Of these
harvesting machinery factories is scattered over
the United States and many parts of the world.
The genius of the inventor has been concentrat-
ed on the production Of agricultural machinery,
and the result is bewildering.
In Europe today the genius of the inventor,
the skill of the mechanic, and the executive abil
ity of the manager also have been concentrated
on the production of harvesting machinery, But
these pieces Of machinery are not intended to
help in the harvesting Of crops to sustain life.
They have been perverted into engines for the
destruction of human life, and for the garnering
of crop of dead men,
The results attained by these martial inven-
tions are as stupendous as are the results OBJ
tanned by the application of harvesting machin-
cry in the agricultural industry. These machines
NOV down men with the same precision that a
mower cuts down the crop of timothy. They pile
up the dead with the same grim reality that a
binder cuts down, binds and throws out sheaves
of wheat They leave behind them fields of
wounded and crippled men, human wreckage that
bellies even the suggestion that once it was the
habitation of men with living souls.
Never in the history of the world have such
powerful engines of destruction been turned on

Honoring AL September.

Never in the history of Richmond has such q
tribute been paid to former resident as was
given AL Spekenhier by group Of business and
professional men last Monday evening at BAN
quet in local hotel.
Four years ago Mr.. Spekenhier left Richmond
for the south. Before his departure, however,
he had 80 stamped his worth and integrity as an
'unselfish patriot upon the community that his
memory did not pass like fleeting shadow, but
endured permanently in the hearts of the citi-
zens.
When he returned here for short visit, his
former colleagues in the work of boosting the
city resolved that tribute ought be paid him.
At the banquet Monday evening all speakers re-
called with pride how Mr.. Spekenhier had de-
svotsd of his time and ability to the betternaent
OF the city. Surely. the words Of praise spoken
Monday evening have convinced him that the
Quaker City cherishes his work.
Communities often overlook or forget the self
sacrificing labor Of men interested in the public
wslfars. Recognition is seldom accorded in a
tangible form. The "home coming" accorded Mr..
Spekenhier was notable exemplification Of Civ
ling honor to whom honor is due.
. This spirit ought not die out; it might well be
cultivated and be exemplified when other occa-
sipns offer. ....-... >-, ..
