Carroll A Candidate
For States Attorney

When the vsters go TO the
polls in May. they will have the
opportunity of voting for a man.
for the democratic nomination to
the office of States Attorney,
that the Herald this week has
the pleasure of announcing as
the most desirable man for the
position, Chas. G. Carrell.
Being quiet. unassuming
man. strictly honest and honor
able in all his dealings Attorney
Carroll has made friends Of all
his acquaintances. and, not one
word is said against his char
acter or ability.
After Attorney Carrell had
been urged for come time by his
friends, he was prevailed upon
to make the run. in spite of the
fact that his large private busi-
ness. will prevent him from do
ing a great deal of campaigning.
We are ure, however, that
could Carroll make a personal
campaign of the country, his
nomination and election would
be practically unanimous. be-
cause to meet him is to be his
friend.
The present Ststes Attorney,
l.. p. McNulty, stated to the
editor the fore part of the week
that. since his health had been a
hindrance to him in the perfor-
nance of his duties, he had de
cided that he would not again be
a candidate.

Fire Destroys
Dickinson Home

Saturday morning FIRE complct.
ely destroyed the home OF f.
Dickinson In the south part Of
the city. The alarm was turned
In at about ) clock and although
some time elapsed before the
whistle gave the general alarm.
the fire boys were on the scene
In short order with the chemic.
ais. No hydrant being in the
near vicinity of the blaze it was
necessary to connect the hose to
the hydrant at the pump house
and this naturally resulted IN a
slight delay. By the time that
the water was turned on the fire
had gained such headwav that il
was mrosalhIC to save the single
story structure.
The cause of the fire has not
been defnately ascertained but
it is presumed that it resulted
from the fact that Mrs. Dickin-
son, mother of +. Dickinson, had
hung some clothes to dry on a
Track near the stove and these
had ignited from the heat Of the
stove.
Chester Dickinson, a young
son of Mr. Dickinson. who Vas
sleeping in the room in which
| the fire started, was awakened
by the heavy smoke and gave
the alarm. He made h,a escape
from the house by breaking a
window and crawling through
the opening. In breaking the
window, Chester cut his hand
quite badly.
The loss will run into several
hundred dollars. only partially
covered by insurance.

Gasoline Explosion
Results DisdstIiouslV

While starting a fire last Tues
day evening about nine O'Clock,
Simon Reasey, a young man re
siding about fifteen miles south
east of Mott, was the unfortu-
nate victim of a burning accl-
dent which almost resulted fa-
tally.
The young man had just re
turned from a neighboring farm
and in starting fire before re-
tiring made an error in securing
gasoline to hurry fire instead of
kerosene. AS soon as the gaso-
line came in contact with the
blaze it exploded enveloping the
unfortunate young man In flames
and scattering the burning fluid
all over the room. Mr., Reasy s
clothing became ,gnlted and the
building was soon a mass OF
flames. The fire cut off the young
man 8 exit and but for the tim
ely arrival of neighbors it is
probable that he would have
been inc'nerated in the shark.
AS soon as the neighbors ar
rived they assisted the young
man through side window OF
the honse and carried him to a
pool of water where the blaze
was extinguished. The home
stead shack burned to tn e
ground.
The Young man was hurried
to Mott, where he received the
attention of physicians. but his
condition was such that slight
hopes were expressed for his re-
covery His parents who reside
near Lennon were notified and
they hurried to Mott.

man, returned to Lennon OF
Monday of this week and stated
that the boy would recover, 6u'
that he would probably be unable

WHERE THE WILD TURKEY cALS-THE REAL THANKSGIVING BIRD

America has more to be thankful for
yearly, than any other nation in the
world; but our thanks are tempered
by the gravity of the sorrow of our
neighbors.
The year has not been one Of great
happiness, peace and prosperity. 1t ie
year of travail for humanity-the
travail of a people being born again.
But out of 1t will come disciplined
and sober people; a people who Will
know the realities of life better.
We will learn that life is a serious
matter, and no silly, simpering affair.
The war has brought us again to an
understanding of the terrible earnest
ness of the thing we call life.
The earth is in process, and we still
have earthquakes and volcanic erup-
tiOns.
Humanity, too, is in process, and
strife and sorrow and death will con-
tinue to be its lot. We must face life
resolutely and meet destiny undis-
mayed.
This year we will not be thankful
so much for the blessings we have re-
ceived, for the things that have been
given to us-for being pampered by a
prodigal Providence-apd being re-
lieved of our burdens, as we will be
thankful for the strength to bear them.
In the shrine Of our hearts our deep
est prayer is not that we shall be re-
lieved of our burdens; but that we
shall be given the strength to bear
them, for we are great in the degree
and the manner in which we face our
tasks and perform them. The Great
Souls are those that have suffered
and endured.
Our Thanksgiving this year will be
no perfunctory, infantile prattle be-
cause of safety.
This is a year of reckoning with
fate; of being thankful if we, our.
selves, have not fallen in the wreck
age. We are thankful not for what
has happened; but for what has not
happened.
Life is not trivial pastime. 1t is
deadly earnest. 1t is the course that
destiny takes, and let us be thankful
not for less of life, but for more of it
and the courage the fortitude, the
strength, and the persistence to meet
its difficulties and continue its course
undaunted by disaster and unspoilet
by success.
We are thankful for Character, moi
charity, and for iron wills that have
not been broken by the inevitable !

Feast of the TabernacIes.

The feast Of the tabernacles in the
Old Testament times was also haT'
vest celebration and took place on the
seventh day of the month, which cor
responds to our November, sometimm
lasting for a whole week. They gath
cred in the temple in great process
sions, holding palms, and in the streets
were booths decorated with the flow
ers and fruits of autumn.
Among the Indians Of America the
custom Of having Thanksgiving feast
was practically unlversal-at least
among those who had any amount nj
planting. AS corn was the main arii-
Gle grown, their dances and feastiDe
were generally In honor Of the hsr.
yesting Of that food. The writer's Ot
several hundred years ago who first
studied the Indian on his native heath
all speak Of these festivals and the
elaborate ceremonial with which theJ
were attended. While most Of thl
tribes have vanished as such. there are
still some left on government resefva
tIons which observe, though possibly
in a modified degree. the ancient Gus
tom of their race.
