We hope you will enjoy your
Thanksgiving dinner and your turkey,
if you are fortunate enough to have
such a valuable bird The turkey crop
this year is like the corn crop
short.
We suggest the early buying Christ
mas habit. Another good habit is to
buy at home. Another good habit is
to buy from the merchants who are
not afraid to tell you what they have
TO offer. Watch our ads.
Be sure and read the opening chap
tiers of our new serial, ION Trial"
This story begins unlike any other
story, for it opens with the trial of
one man for murder of another, un-
rolls to the scene of the crime, and
goes still further back to the causes
leading up to it. 1t will interest and
hold you.
Thanksgiving is a typically Ameri-
can holiday and the oldest of them
all. With all our hard luck this year
IN bad crops we have a great deal
TO be thankful for. The pessimist
looks at the past and its failures, but
the Optimist looks at the future and
It's possibilities. There are worse
things even than six-cent hogs.

Times has had his proud spirit some

editorial suggestions HenTy's sug
gestions are like his refusal to accept
the position on the state fair board
early in the fall, and a few days later
turning over the job to his brother,
Ed-plays to the gallery. Some things
are very funny.
a little wisp of life came into be-
ing the other day and was snuffed out
again because the physician consider
ed it would grow up morally and men
tally defective. There may be and un
dOubtedly are, cases where it is better
so, but humanity and christianity de-
mand that every life be given a fight
ing chance to live. Who shall be the
Judge?
You will always notice that the
highbrOw recommendations of steril-
IzatiOn, disposal of detectives, elimin-
alton of the unfit and so on, come from
people who are perfectly willing for
all these things to be tried out on the
other fellow. We sometimes wonder
ii education doesn't make some people
a little inhuman and apt to regard
poorer mortals as so many cattle.

One person in eleven after the age
OF forty dies of cancerl The Wiscon-
sin figures in common with other
states, show a steady rise in this
dreadful disease with science appar-
emily still cropping for a remedy. One
tnmS is sure, il the disease looks like
cancer, see a physician at once and
don't waste time with Guacks or pat
ent medicines.
Justice seems to move swiftly in this
part of the country when one compares
our courts with what people have to
