TRUE THANKSGIVING DAY

The largest of the orchard boughs,
The bouty of the fields,
The tuber-treasure that the earth
So generously yields
Are harvested from Eastport Maine,
And burst barns and bins proclaim
1t is Thanksgiving Day.
In evry kitchen in the land
Enticing odors rise
From roasting fowls, and baking
cakes
! And mince and pumpkin pies,
A thousand viands, native-grown,
: The festal boards display,
Prosperity and Peace preside
: At our Thanksgiving Day.
Rejoicing in it's record crops
Unspoiled by fire and sword
The nation. blest with happy home
Gives thanks unto the Lord.
Content and plenty crown the year
Now almost passed away.
Secure from Wars relentless toll
We spend Thanksgiving Day.
Deserted farms and ruined towns
Are just across the seat
Con we'll the lesson, dark and sad,
For so our own may be,
If we neglect to guard with ships
And men in stern array
The flag that makes it possible
To keep Thanksgiving Day.

CUSTOMERS HIS MESSENGERS
Grocer Pays Purchasers per Cent
to Carry Their Goods Home

A grocer in Fond du Lac, Wis,
has introduced an interesting sys-
tenn"
If his customers pay cash for their
goods he throws off per cent. If
they carry their purchases home
he throws off another per cent. If
the family's grocery bill is S25 a
month that means a saving CT $3.50
(which would make tidy addition
to the savings bank balance.
The plan, it is reported, takes
well with this grocers customers.
Moreover, he is tickled with him
self. 1t saved him the expense of
putting on more delivery wagons,
which he would have had to do if he
hadn't adopted this system. 1t has
increased his trade. 1t has given
him the benefit of cash in the till
instead of credit on the books. 1t
seems to be beneficial all around.
1t isn't exactly new, of course
There are shops that do something
like the same thing; that is, by
selling for cash only and doing nc
delivering, they can and do sell
goods cheaper, and many take ad
vantage of the opportunity to be
thrifty.
The cost Of living is vastly highe:
than it used to be before the days o.
credit and telephone ordering, whel
mother Used to put a basket on hel
arm and go shopping. And one o
the reasons why the cost of living i
higher is that credit and deliver!
both cost money which, of course
the consumers have to pay.-Dulutl

Gun Saves Young Couple
From Negro Highwayman

ST. Augustine, Nov. 29.-While
motoring out to Elkton Saturday
night, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Wakeley
had rather exciting experience,
two negroes attempting to hold them
up AS they approached the curve
near Elkton they slowed down as a
precaution against accident. The
car was moving at very slow speed
when two negroes sprang up, one on
each side of the car, and waved
their arms. At first Mr. Wakeley
supposed that they wanted help and
he did not increase his speed, but
Mrs. Wakeley became alarmed when
she saw that they were negroes, and
she told Mr.. Wakeley to speed up.
The negroes jumped on the car, one
on each side, and then Mr.. Wakeley
reached back for an automatic pistol
he had in the car. He secured the
gun and turned on the negroes, one
OF whom had grabbed Mrs. Wakeley.
He fired in quick succession at each
of the negroes and both jumped
from the car. Meantime Mr.. Wake
ley was forced to release the wheel
and the car rolled into the ditch !.
He is almost certain that one of the
negroes was wounded and the other
may have also been hit
When the car rolled into the
ditch the lights went out and Mr.
and Mrs. Wakeley were maroOned CT
the road with their car out of com
mission They waited nearly hall
hour before another car came alcng
They were taken aboard and brought
back to town. Their car was eX
tricated by a force from a local ga
rage.

In many of the smaller jails the in

it is brainless task that child could

RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE GRAND JURY
Sanitation

In the matter of sanitation we feel
that the town of Tonopah is far be-
hind the standard We found, upon
assuming the duties of our office, sew
eral districts in the town to be in
very bad condition, the inhabitants
in this section having very little re-
gard for even the first rudiments of
sanitation These conditions having
been called to the attention Of the
health officer and the garbage man.
these districts were soon brought to
fair state of cleanliness. However,
1t has been Impossible to obtain a
state Of sanitation to be desired, for
the reason that under present cond-
tions there is no method by which
property owners may be compelled to
connect with the sewer system. Dur.
ing the summer months we were hon
ored by a visit of Or. Fox of the
United States health and sanitary
service, in company with DR.. s. l..
Lee, president of the state board of
health, and their criticisms of the
conditions, particularly in the mat
ter of sewerage was very severe.
They recommend the continuation of
the sewer system to all houses occu-
pied within the city. or the installa-
ton of aseptic tanks as the only rem
| I'D hn apIl conditions
A majority of the business men are
ready and willing to cooperate in all
matters relating to sanitation and we
believe that city of the population
of Tonopah. enjoying its prosperity
should at least have the proper sew
erage installation 1t would be our
recommendation that proper steps be
taken in the immediate future to for
muate a sanitary district within the
limits of Tonopah and provide the
proper sewerage service in some
manner to be decided upon by ma
| Jority of the people In this connec-
| ton we deem It proper that the peo-
| pie OF the city be given the opportu-
nifty to express their decision in this
matter in some form, either at spe-
cial election or at the next general
election, and if their decision is in
favor of installing the proper meth
DDS of sanitation at the same time to
provide ways and means for its in
stallation.

compIaint has been made In former
years, will be eliminated.
Public Safety
Through our recommendations to
the board OF county commissioners a
certain telephone pole situated al
most in the middle of Florence ave

We call attention to the fact, how
ever, that certain other poles occu-
plying positions on other streets, and
which should be removed to their
proper places at the side Of the

dalton received attention We would
again recommend that the board Of
county commissioners give these
matters attention and insist that all
poles occupying a position in the
streets of Tonopah be removed to a
position where they VIII not be dan
gerous to life and limb.
We have remedied certain evils ex
listing in the way OF protection to ex-
cavations and shafts made in prose
cutting mining within the limits of
the town of Tonopah, which have
been exposed and dangerous How
ever, there are conditions which still
exist that in our opinion should re-
ceive attention. We believe the
proper method of protection for all
excavations. shafts. etc, is to have
them thoroughly covered
We call attention to the fragrant
violation of the law III regard TO
speed limit for automobiles and mo-
torcycles and we recommend that the
officers be compelled to enforce the
existing ordinances in respect to
same.
Roads, Alleys and Highways
The roads in the city are in good
condition.
The streets are in good condition
generally and we understand that
certain work will be carried out when
the good weather prevails which will
place in good condition several Of the
streets which now needs attention
The different roads throughout the
county have received considerable at
tention during the past year partic
ularly the Ely and the Manhattan
