a movement to place the next
Thanksgiving Day on November
% instead of November 80 was
inaugurated by the Merchants
Association of Kansas City. A
telegram, signed by the execu-
tive board of the organization,
was sent to President Wilson re-
questing the earlier date. Mes
sages to retail organizations In
twenty of the larger cities also
were sent asking them to take
similar action. The merchants
say the holiday, falling as it does
this year ON the last of the
month, works hardship both to
them and to their customers,
crowding all Christmas business
INTO three weeks.

Live Oak, CaL-Starting out from Sc

include Yosemite valley, Harold Fitz-
gerald, a lumber dealer, met in four
weeks travel some thrilling adven-
lures. -
Fitzgerald began his "Trip alone, but
he is taking ON passengt rs and may be

Here are a few episodes in Fitzger-
AIDS search for thrills as related when
he stopped at Live Oak to take on gas
oline.
When near Kalama, Wash, he was
held up by two highwaymen and re-
lieved of a rifle and $40. The road
agents got into the car and rode sixty
miles, thanking him for his courtesy
and sportsmanlike spirit. as they left
to strike off into the hills.
A few miles out from Salem, Fitzger-
aid came upon an auto going north. In
the party was Miss Jeanette Draper.
daughter of John Draper, driver of the
car. 1t was love at first sight Fitz-
gerald discovered that it was neces-
sary for him to return as far as Salem
1t was a whirlwind courtship that in
four days ended in Miss Draper be-
coming Mrs. Fitzgerald. Father and
mother continued north. bride and
bridegroom coming south.
While crossing the Siskiyou range
the Fitzgeralds came upon an old
mountaineer and his four-year-old
granddaughter. The man told a story
of how the child's mother had died,
and he was leaving for the county seat
to place the little one in an orphans
home.
The beauty of the child and the pa
thetic story appealed to the newly we'd
ded couple. The next day little Mabel
Hines was riding in the big auto. She
had found a new father and mother.

There are three reasons why women
should propose-physical, spiritual and
moral" said Miss Hawk.
Il ask you, is there any reason why
strong, able bodied woman should
not support husband II she chooses?
No; only a time worn prejudice rears
itself against such a procedure.
For the spiritual reason, there is the
great saying. Whatever ye would that
men should do unto you. do We even so
to them AS women should rightfully
be the manager Of the Oldest of all In.
stitutions, the home. is 1t any more
than fair that she should be permitted
to ask the man OF her ideals to help
her found and operate that home? Must

when she is ready to begin her life
work because only the men who are
not her ideal will propose?"
