HAVE YOU NOTHING TO BE
THANKFUL FOR

Have you counted your blessings
and are you truly thankful
Those who protest against fate.
! who say theirs is a hard life, void OF
all beauty, comfort, sheer or anything
whatsoever to give thanks for, are
wrong with the world. Something Is
the matter; they need readjstment
and a different point of view.
Every one of you can be thankful
for the sunshine, the rain, the beauty
Of the hills and fields, the fruits Of
the earth that will appease your hun
ger, the clothing that keeps you
warm, and, above all, for the roof
that covers you. Many there are,
you know, that have not these bless
ings. The blind cannot see the sun
shine or the beauties OF nature; the
poverty-stricken cannot enjoy the
fruits of the earth and warm cloth
ing; the homeless have no roof-trce
to shelter them, and the cripp1es can
not feel the softly falling rain.
Are you, then, making the world
about you more livable and lovable
for some poor, disheartened mortal?
Are you tightening his burden? Or
are you in your selfishness making
the world bleak and cold and inhos-
pitable for those about your?
Do not let the day pass without
performing some act of kindness or
charity, Tightening some burden or
making the heart of some sad friend
sing a joyful melody. Be truly thank
full for your own blessings and dis
pense a blessing wherever you may.

Anything that makes a child self

over the general average Of young
folk, or aXhibits childish accomplish

system. Perhaps little'private school
room speaking or entertainments,
without outsiders present are bene-
fetal, if sensibly managed by a teach

which the innocent school child is
made a "show actor" or allowed to
play a part entirely unsuited to a

right cruel, we care not who conducts

PIANO PL A YER S
BY GEORGE FITCH

NHANKS to the advance Of sci
ence there are now two varie-
a ties Of piano music-hand-
made and fcet-uade,
Fifteen years ago the only way to
make music on a piano was to ham,
mer it out by hand. The product
was often very crude and to obtain
even q fair to medium grade re-
quired years Of practice and a very
durable neighborhood Then the
mechanical player was invented and
the only requisite for the making Of
sublime music became pair of
stout, long-winded ankles. Thanks
to this contrivance, it is now posi-
bic to buy divine melody by the roll
and carry it home at night along
with the steak for supper.
The mechanical player gives the
musician a chance to attack the piano
with hands, feet and knees in a most
effective manner. The machine does
all the key pounding, while the mu-
sician merely starts and stops the
music throttles down in the SOFT
parts. accctorates on the erescendOs
and puts on the emergency brake
when needed. A mere child can feed
cne of these machines sonatas, over
lures and operas; and thanks to it's
work, the earnest young lady who
crouches over helpless piano and
beats out beethoven with a batting
average Of one fair hit in ten is not
receiving mach announcement in
her ncfarious business nowadays
The mechanical piano player Is
bringing joy to great numbers Of peo-
pie who formerly had to depend on
others for their music. The piano
no longer stands silent and dusty in
the homo of the new-laid millionaire.
The owner now climbs aboard the
drivers scat Of the mechanical
player each evening after supper,
and tramps off twenty-seyen yards of
list, forU-taree yards of Mendels-

FINANCING THE WAR.

No one i'm this country will ever
know to what extent we have been
financing the war in Europe. 1t is
known that We loaned hall a billion
dollars to the allies and the fact that
Americans have bought more than
hundred million dollars worth of Ger
man war bonds is also well knoWl.
The records show that We have so
far taken a hundred and fifty million
dollars worth of Canadian Warpaper
and there have been isolated sales OF
the securities from other countries
But the grand total is not known and
never will be known.
One financial institution in tins
oonntrv thinks we have absorbed
more than a billion dollars worth OF
securities for the warring nations
but this firm admits the figures are
only an estimate. 1t would not be
surprised. it says, to learn after the
war. that the total amount is far IN
excess of billion dollars because
the private parties return from ECU
rome with bonds to be peddled out
among friends.
But whether the sum Is one billion
or two, it is certain We have done
much to finance the sruggle-an
done so from a neutral standpoint.
Money is not patriotic; it doesn'
care much about nationalities. In
diyidual citizens may have their pre-
ferences for this country or That, but
when it comes to making invest
ments, wealth closes its eyes to
creeds and faiths and races. The
proally is tempted to buy German
bond If he can get a bargain and the
chances are many q man in this coun
try with German sympathies has So
cured a few OF the bonds OF the al
lies. And this is exactly as it should
be, so long as the war is ON the 9th
er side of the ocean It is not our
war. We are not advancing money
10 ANYBODY because We want that
anybody to win. 1t is purely a com
merciaI transaction capital seeking
Investment where it viii be certain
OF the best returns.
