sell at a handsome figure then.
The more we advertise and
boost the ooner this time will
come. The more people we
get to locate here the nearer we
are to prosperity, for every in
dividual who uses his influence
can get others to come, and If
you will stop to consider for a
moment, il has been through
the influence Of two or three
men that we are. here today.
During this year let's use our
influence, individually and col
lectively to advertise and make
known the possibilities Of this
valley and bring the time nearer
when its broad expanse will be
covered with fields of growing
farm products and then we will
reap the rewards of our exis.
rance in one of the best farm
ing countries in the entire
southwest. And in all our
boosting let's stick to the plain
truth. That's enough.

"Keep the Day
With GladneSS "

As religious people VINO
do not believe the world is
ruled by chance, but by an in
tellieent and beneficent Provi-
dence and the Most High rules
in the kingdom of the children
of men. it is right that we
should, from the chief maeis-
trate down to the humblest
citizen, be called to recognize
and thank the beneficent Au-
thor OF all our mercies.
God has rolled the seasons
round. Seedtime and harvest
have come, and we have re-
ceived again the kindly fruits
of the earth. And because of
all these manifold blessings we
can say, as probably no other
people have ever said. that the
lines are fallen unto US in
pleasant places. We should
appreciate our heritage, and for
it we should "enter into Gods
gates with praise and into his
courts with thanksgiving"
But above all
KEEP The DAY WITH
GLADNESS."

Reasons For y
&c Gratitude

Let us be thankful for abun-
dant harvests, for busy days in
mill and factory, for the incen-
tives to industry and its more
adequate rewards. Let US be
thankful that educational
standards are lifted and edu-
cational opportunity is broad
ened so that home and state
strive together as never before
for the making of an intelli-
gent citizenship.
Let US be Thankful! that old
fashioned virtue is given high
est place in the peoples
thought. higher than preten-
tious wealth or social prestige
or any public office if it be un-
worthily gained or held. Let
US be thankful for the integrity
which vice cannot by bribe
corrupt, for the fine courage
which vice cannot intimidate.
Let us be thankful if by all
the helps afforded US we have
wrought worthily, and if we
cannot with glad hearts look
back upon our yesterdays let
US be thankful that, by Gods
help there may be brighter
tomorrows
