Mr.. BUTLER Of Knox: Mr.. Presi-

that way.
This matter has been very carefully
considered by the committee before
which it came, and it seemed the right
thing, the just thing. as between the
State and the several counties. that
the salaries Of the several judges Of
probate should be paid from the State
treasury, because the State treasury
receives thousands of dollars from the
inheritance taxes every year from the
several counties.
This measure was recommended by

Miss Guest to come on the 18th and

basis, and the hostess and guest of
good sense abide by all the require

Things One Must Do.

A friend Of Goethe's once remarked
that II you wish to appear agreeable In
society you must consent TO be taught
many things which you know already"
You have had to sit many hours with
a smile upon your face while some
dreadful bore expounded supposed the
cries Of his own which had been as
axiOms to you from youth up. You
have had TO listen to society traditions,
In which you were not In the least In
terested. told by some sycophant, be
cause you knew that what lay upon
your thoughts Light as thistledown en-
compassed her about Ike a royal robe.
You may hate the molecular theory and
despise the foolish vaporings about
society" but you have no taste for the
life OF the hermit, and you have at
least to pretend that you are interested
IN the ponderous and the frothy. The
question Is whether you are not q bore
yourself, at least to the man with a
theory about creation and the woman
who adores by way Of the social regis
ter.
Have you ever tried TO air your theo-
ries about child welfare and the solu-

ense Of the women who were all the
time unconsciously counting your frills

she pretended an interest, because 1t is
part Of her religion to appear always

ALL AMERICA HAS ESPECIAL
CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING
THIS YEAR.

President Wilson has designated
Thursday, November rs as the annual
Thanksgiving Day of America, and
Craig of our own State, fol-
the custom of the years, has
made his proclamation in accordance
herewith courtesy that has come
to be a custom, although there is en-
therein one of the earliest as
it has been one of the most continuous
-recognitions of the doctrine and
principle f States Rights.
Thanksgiving Day is peculiarly an
American institution, and vas insti-
tuted with a two fold purpose-the
rendering of thanks to God IS a COM
mon people of a common country fer
the years harvests, and the offering
Of public grateful acknowledgment for
all His mercies to God, "in whom we
trust"
The forthcoming Thanksgiving Day
is one that should strike an exception
ally happy chord throughout the coun-
try. The nation is at peace with all
the world, at a time when the worlds
most stupendous and terrific war is
in progress. tsaS
there has been nothing like this years
abundance. The value of the crops,
according to government officials, will
reach fiv and a half billion dollars-a
half billion more than the highest
previous record. A month from now,
when a revision of values is made the
total will probably be found higher
than resulted from November's com
pilation.
The value of the 1915 cotton crop is
estimated at 5000, 600, 900. It will go
more than that-probably 500, O00, 900
more.
The corn crop, not quite up to the
record yield, exceeds in value by $780,
900 900 that of the biggest crop eve
known.
The wheat crop, the largest ever
grown in this or any other country, is
valued at nearly a billion dollars.
Not only have the more important
crops been bumpers, but the minor
crops, too, have been wonderfully
abundant. The diversification of crops
in the south has been a marvellous
success and has been of ~far-reaching
benefit.
In this year of plenty in America
Thanksgiving Day should be celebrat-
ed with unusual jubilation, both in
physical feasting and in spiritual
works of ph~ilanthrophy and prayer
full thanksgiving.
