The Road to Thankfulness
A THANKSGIVING HINT
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915, by Frank Crane)

Thankfulness is an attitude Of mind.
II is another name for happiness When
Eone is happy one is thankful, and vice
versa.
70 be thankful simply means that one
thnks he is better off than he deserves
10 be. And this leads Us to the great and
luminous truth that happiness is not a
ts1igS at all, but is the relation between
our condition and what W. think our
condition ought to be, between what we
nave and what We conceive to be our
deserts
II that be so, then the road 10 happi-
ness ought to lie very plain before all Of
US. Il is, 10 change our thought instead
.ol trying 10 change our things
Here Is the situation My house is
not fine enodgh my food is nH plentiful
enough my clothes are not expensive
enough nay wife is not hgadsome. enough,
my neighbors are not agreeable enough,
my bank account is not large enough,
and SO on. Hence. am unhappy. say
/ don't see what | have to be thankful
Tor worry and stew and am generally
miserable
Now to cure this state Of things can
proceed in one Of two ways Q) can get
finer house, better food, a prettier
Aife. more money. and the like or (2)
Fan change my notion about what | de-
,erve.
The first method is followed by the
fools the second by the wise
For several reasons
l. You can always change your idea
D. your deserts, and you cannot always
get more and better things.
,. If you start getting more things
YOU generally find that your opinion Of
your deserts rises along with them, in
fact usually keeps few leaps ahead, so
that your resultant state of dissatsfac-
lion remains constant. about the same,
The last thing the average person will
admit, however is that the cause Of his
unhappiness lies within himself He is
very willing to address himself TO the
question which forms one Of Mr. Gilbert
'Chestertons titles. What's Wrong with
the World" but rather resents it if you
suggest the topic, What's Wrong with
he"
For all that. the gentle reader is rec
)mmended, If he cares TO find the short
md straight road to happiness, TO lock
himself up in his room alone and whittle
Iown his conception of what he ought to
have
He can get more happiness out of one
dour's exercise at this than he can get
out Of years labor at increasing his
pile Of goods or improving his environ
ment.
Regulating ones self will probably
never be popular indoor sport, but for
all that it is the most profitable, much
more so than regulating the universe, or
the country, or the laws Of ones rela-
tions.
The road to thankfulness lies thru
our own soul.

Why Daily When
There's a LOng-Distance
Line to Lansing?

The News has thrown out the HaToun
motor stock advertising, as it threw out
booze advertising, when the fierce light
of publicity became too scorching for
comfort.
Which time. in both cases, happened 10
be Immediately preceding or following
the states decree that the advertising
must go.
We will say this for the News: If it
no longer leads public opinion, it is alert
enough to fall in and take step" as pub
lie opinion goes by.
Explaining the rejection Of the faring
Harroun enticements after running
slathers of them-the News said il had
tried to learn from whatever source il
could all the facts obtainable regarding
the company"
When the brokers emblazoned the get
rich possibilities of Harroun upon the
pages of the News. the Detroit Stock Ex-
change called the attention of the adver-
Using department TO the hectic character
of the copy, but to no avail.
Then there was at hand the test inn
posed by the state of Michigan as to the
trustworthiness of stock advertising; the
Michigan Securities Commission is al
ways reachable by telephone.
Nay, it doesn't put newspapers to that
trouble. 1t bulletins for the benefit OF
publishers all approved stocks. By refer
ring to its file of these official advices the
News could have ascertained that Har-
roun had not been passed upon.
II could also have found that the fol-
lowing corporations, whose advertising
has appeared in practically all Of the De-
troit papers but The Times in the past
two months, have not been listed by the
Michigan Securities Commission:
Emerson Motor Co
Grow Ekhart Motor Co
Southern Oil and Transit Co.
The Standard Sulphur CO
General Refining and Producing Co
United Alloys steel Corporation
Brigsby Building Co.
Calume, & Baker Copper and stock SeWs
Tommy Boynes Gold Mining Co.
Seguoyah OH & Refining
Section 30 Mining Co.
White Course Copper.
Standard Parts
Troy Arizona Copper co
Paragon Refining Co.
Grissley Flats Gold Mining Co.
Mandel Corporation
United Verde Consolidated Cooper Co
We place this information at the dis
posal of the News now, so that il will not
have to go to the trouble Of sending out
friend to buy one Of these stocks to de-
termine whether the advertising (after it
has been running several weeks is de-
pendable.
Whether the law creating the Michigan
Securities Commission is annulled on
technical grounds, should make no differ
ence with newspaper that wants to do
its duty.
The purpose Of the law is to protect n-
vestors and the obligation of every news
paper runs parallel with that purpose.

MISS BILLIE BURKE
 IN LITTLE MINISTER

Reminiscent of "The Little Minister, D Peggy" with it's bonnie brier bush setting, has all the charm of the Barrie play. The photodrama is the present offering at the Arizona theater and in it predominates the delicious person. ality of Billie Burke. The Broadway star made her initial screen appearance in the Thomas H. Ince production which furnishes her a role well suited to her4
 Loveable little Miss Burke is as ador- able on the screen as on the stage, her sweet, attractive and captivating manner is just as effective if not more so. She gives an exquisitely dainty touch to every scene in which she ap- pears especially in the fairy fancy that she relates to the village children. This feature of the photoplay offers field for novel photography which is capably achieved. The direction throughout is splendid.
 William Desmond is clever as the dfearing parson of the little kirk who falls in love with the girl from
  makeup was not as good as his acting, however. Altogether he was convinc- ing although the best bit of acting was that of William H. Thompson, whose interpretation of the stern uncle was noteworthy. Charles Ray, the young son, is another clever member of the capable cast. The characters are all well drawn, the village drunkard, the women who gather in groups to discuss the latest gossip, the girl who is wronged all combine to make the pie ture one of the best of it's kind that has been shown.
 "Our own" Melville Ellis costumed the play, which gives it an added in i terest to PhOenicians.
 The captioning was 2 work of art and materially contributed to the won- derfully artistic picture that Peggy" is

en to the ruined arches of MelrOse, and indeed to all Scotland a glory and charm unknown before. Here his beautiful character true and sincere was developed until he was sent to take charge of the famous monastery of Lindisfarne, which alas gave it's name to the great bishopric of North umbria.
 Then follows a truely sympathetic eulogy of the famous church man.
 Speaking of Theodore, the bishop said, Tt was Theodore who developed the parochial idea, and as the counties or shires of England formed a basis for the dioceses. so the townships formed the basis for the parishes, which naturally corresponded with them in territorial limits.
 In conclusion, Bishop Atwood said "Once more at the end of the period of which l am now speaking was the fading missionary spirit and life of England to burst forth into the most glorious light and vision of all when the converted Saxon carried back to the country from where he came across the sea, the religion that had subdued his own proud soul and in the story of the English St. Boniface illustrous in history as the apostle to Germany, we read the noblest page of missionary effort that illumines the historic past of Englands great church."

NE E'ER-DO-WELL'' IS
 FINE IN PICTURES

Absorbing in theme, skillful in di- rection and attractive in photography
 '"rhe Ne'er Do Welr' proved a most
 interesting offering at the Columbia
 yesterday The book by Rex Beach is
 followed closely in the screen version,
 even to the subtitles many of which
 are taken from the story laid in New
 York and Panama. 1t is far more
 thrilling than it's companion piece
 "The Spoilers" and better in every
 way
 There are ten reels to the Nicer
 Do We'll" and not one scene is pre-
 scented merely to gain fOotage. The
 action never pals and there is not
 one climax but many of them. The
 punch is there and every possibility
 is made the most of by the clever
 direction of Colin Campbell And it
 is not a series of tense situations there is a pretty love theme that gives opportunity for effective scenes
 laid in the romantic setting in
 Panama.
 This photoplay more than any other
 demonstrates that for real effects
 nothing can take the place of the actual country in which it is supposed to be taken. No matter how clever
 and capable the setting has been planned, there is something abou: California that is growing monotonous to the regula- patron and the pie ture playhouse.
 Splendid as was the direction and photography. the interest the story surpassed any other feature even the excellent acting. The development o1 worthless young rake into man of character and affairs was the motif round which the story was woven. His introduction a chap without, any in terest beyond seeing his college win the game is given in one of the most thrilling scenes of the play when he and his college chums motor through
 the door and into a cafe. This glimpse of night life in New York ends with "The Ne'er Do Wel.w Kirk Anthony played by Wheeler Oakman being drugged and placed on a steamer bound for Panama. On the steamer he meets Mir. and Mrs. Stephen Cort

WILLIAM FARNUM AT
 ! THE LA|MARA THEATER

William Farnum, $10O,000 a year star who is seen in the William Fox production. Fighting Blood" now at the Lamara, is afraid of mice, and he admits it. Mir. Farnum's courage in other respects is a matter of general admiration by photoplay actors and actresses. He has performed some of the most death- -defying feats ever done for motion pictures. When it comes to having anything to do with mice however, he draws the line.
 MT. Farnum's fear of mice is at- tributable to an experience of early childhood when, while lying in his cradle, he was bitten on the back of the hand by a mouse. Several days after the occurrence he became sick and delirious. Since then he. has shared in common with women and elephants a fear of mice.
 When three elephants were shipped from New York to be used in the Fox productions being made in Jamaica, MT. Farnum supplied each of the huge beasts with mouse protectors The protectors consisted of funnel shaped metal bands to be strapped around the elephants ankles. They bore general resemblance to the de- vice used to prevent rats boarding a vessel by running up the hawser

 Of this play. report has it that it is better than "The Chorus Lady" The Traveling Salesman" and the other Fo-bess successes. It IS said to be a May Robson play which no one should miss, and the comedierne. with her clever support, we are informed tells it's sweet. wholesome story, in man. ner that will keep the audience either laughing, or on the verge of tears during almost every moment of the performance. s.
 Briefly told, MT. and Mrs. Matthew Lamson, newly rich are established in fashionable New York hotel. A society girl has been selected as the bride of their only son who is his mothers pet, and who meeting his fathers secretary. after an auto speeding escapade, falls in love with her. MT. Matt is furious. particularly of the juniors elopement. Speeding after him. he finds that Mrs. Matt has preceded him and is confronted with her determination to have the youngster marry the girl of his choice instead of the society favorite. Of course, with a theme of this nature, those who know the inimitable art of Miss Robson, know that she will make much of it, with the result that laughs and then more laughs, with a tear now and then, and some more laughs again. will follow in such rapid i succession that the play will end ere i the auditor realizes that they have 1 passed a most delightfully."- pleasant evening.
 The production is to be adequately staged, and the cast will be found the same that has aided Miss Robson ! in it's presentation in all metropolitan centers. Miss Robson closes her en- gagement Saturday night with the last performance here of her former success "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary

REDMOND COMPANY
 BID ALL FAREWELL

A large and appreciative audience turned out last night to witness the farewell performance of the Redmond company. which has been holding forth at the Elks for the past twenty one weeks.
 It is with sincere regret that thea ter goers of Phoenix. witness the de- parture of the popular company. Their absence will be noted all the more as the time passes
