Just why should George Burk
lit worry over his job as assist
ant postmaster of the little viii
lage of Winnetka, III? Getting
fired by the post Office depart
ment for commenting adversely
upon the engagement of the
president and Mrs. Gait, and
then being promptly and en-
phatically reinstated by the pres
ident himself, has made him a
national figure and is rapidly
qualifying him for stage life or
the lecture platform. And really
now, if Mr.. Wilson wants to mar
ry Mrs. Calf and the lady is
willing, whose business is it:
And if Mr.. Burkitt wants to eX-
ercise the American right of
free speech in gentlemanly lang
uage, whose business is that:
Seems to us the daily press has
been making whale out OF a
tadpole. But then again, that's
their business. and they are eS-.
perts in their line.

A Washington dispatch reads:
'sMrs. McAdoo, wife of the sec
retary of the treasury and a
daughter of President Wilson,
appeared on the street today
with a cane. It was an ebony
hued cane with acrooked handle,
inlaid with silver. Now and

How interesting! And what

nuity in ferriting out and dish.
ing up to a staid world the really
important events of the day.
But this Solomon of the press
neglected to tell Us the length
of the cane: it's size and weight,
the store from which it was
purchased and the angle at
which it was carried. Such
omissions are reprehensible in
modern journalism.

Davis Station

Davis Station enjoyed last Fridayfev-
eniug the somewhat unique experience
OF barbecue supper, given at the
school house in the interests OF the
school. The supper was planned and
managed by Mr. E. G. Stukes, chair
man Of the board of trustees, literally
assisted by the other trustees, Mr.. j.
r. Horton and Mr.. J. E. Davis.
The barbecue, feature was of course
the main thing and a strange sight it
was to many a one who had never be-
fore attended q real barbecue, when
three fne hogs which had been roasted

the Goals were brought in, brown and
Grip, and ready to be served These
were amply reinforced bg other good
things TO eat, and the crowd surging in
at the door of the supper-room testified
its appreciation of the substantial
spread by keeping the seats at the long
extended tables full, and the walters
behind the same busy.
IL another room fr-it and lemonade
were sold. neat little sum being taken
in from this source alone.
The success of the supper was large
ly due to the liberality of some Of the
patrons and friends of the school.

Thanksgiving day is the one
day in the year when the nation
turns to heaven in thanks for its
preservation. The life of the
nation is the principal consider,
alton, not only in life, but its
health, and its preservation in
that condition in which it was
established by the fathers of the
country. Men can thank God
for their accumulations or sup
plicate him to tighten their bur
dens, but that is not the purpose
of a national thanksgiving. The
nation itself, the political struc-
ture which was framed and hand
ed down-it is the preservation
of this for which the people are
to be thankful.

WARS WHEEL OF FORTUNE.

War has been variously de-
scribed, but just now it resem.
bles a wheel of fortune more
than anything else. No matter
which side turns the wheel. it is
uncertain at which number it
will stop. At one time Germany
approaches Paris, only to be
driven back, next, Russia push
es forward to the Carpathians-
only to be forced back toward
Petrograd. And now drive is
being made through Bulgaria to
rescue Constantinople-but the
wheel is still whirling. and it is
a gamblers guess where it will
stop. In the meantime, men die
and women weep, debts pile up
and hatred sows the seed of con
hictS yet to come.
1t was once said of a speech
that any sentence in it would
have been a good place to quit,
is it not so with war: When will
the nations turn from combat,
the instrumentality of barbar'
ism, to co operation, the instru
ment of civilization? When will
they learn the truth, economic
as we'll as moral, that it is better
to help each other than to kill
each other? And yet there are
Americans who would have this
nation enter this war!-The Com
moner.

THANKSGIVING.

Praise for the goodness Of God
Is never out of place and never
unreasonable, but 1t is especially
appropriate on days set apart
by official appointment to notice
the mercies which have followed
US, the blessings which we have
enjoyed, the kind interposlt.ons
which have been made in our be-
half, the bounties which have
been bestowed upon US in order
that we may render again to God
for all his benefits with festive
Joy and heartfelt thankfulness.

was a wise and pious act, and its
adoption by most of the states
and at length by the general
government Of this broad land is
an evidence of the diffusion Of
those religious sentiments which
were at the foundation of the
settlement of this country.
We may welcome this annual
thanksgiving today with the
added interest which venerable
custom has thrown around it,
with the pleasing memories
which early associations weave
about our former celebrations of
it with the recollections of ab-
sent friends who have shared it
with US, the reunion of families,
the merry laugh of children, the
pleasure of parents and hail its
advent as a day of sacred and so
cial JOY.
It should be observed with
happy hearts and cheerful voices

of sorrow should be hushed and

At the captains suggestion, Miss Shields
was once more placed in seclusion, Mr.. In

of the stateroom windows. Then they re-
sorted to the shippers quarters, where that
wildly agitated seaman begged the represent
alive of the law to name his price for peace,
and not be too hard on him.

Mr.. Ingram, grayely, and I'd be takin'

desperately.

Sites proceeded to fill out a check.
"You can step over to the bank with me
and get that cashed," said his tormentor
airily, "just to prevent you changin' your

The mate glanced over the offending mis-

skipper "She takes that after cabin and

night and hands me the key if I'm on watch;
if you're on, you take it. That's all I'm

"Takin' one wot?" inquired the mate
eagerly, with restless movement of his lips.
" A stroll around the docks" continued the
skipper blandly. " A little exercise 'ud do
you good"
Mr. Baines, in whose bosom the shippers
hope of liquid refreshment, stated tersely that
he had absorbed all the exercise he needed for
that day, and would seek the seclusion of his
bunk in the course of a few minutes. Where

short discourse on the besetting sin of laziness

Detective Daniel Ingram and his prisoner
made their appearance on the aaron Bur In
due course of time. The girl was decidedly
pretty and her trim, neat little figure and large
hmpid blue eyes were not by any means sug-
gcstive of an intriguing criminal whom the
machinery of the law had been put to capture.
Both Captain Sites and his mate were rather
taken aback at the sight of their celebrated
passenger; and the former, after Miss
Shields had been duly escorted to her state
room, expressed his surprise to the detective.

cunning.
Mr.. Ingram closed one eye and winked
solemnly.
That's so" he responded. "But to be

matter. You see, heard along the river

who was standing by, burst into chuckle Of
the horse-laugh variety which grated on his
superior's nerves and caused him to turn his
attention to the problem of getting the vessel
under way.
Once out of the harbor Mr.. Ingram proved
himself to be very cheerful and easy-going
jailer. Apparently secure in the protection
offered by the wide expanse of water around
