THANKSGIVING
Indications Point to a Day
Full of the Thanks
giving Spirit

giving Spirit
The Thanksgiving season for 1916
is with us and on Thursday of this
week the people of this country will
celebrate Thanksgiving day by offer
ing thanksgiving and singing praises
unto Him, who has so kindly remem-
bered us with blessings of peace, pros
perity and all things necessary for this
life. We have been kept out OF the
great struggles of war and are still
at peace with the world and our boys
are returning to their homes in good
health from the Mexican border, where
they have been faithfully guarding the
country. We should offer thanksgiv-
| ing for the prosperous condition OF
our city; there is employment for al
most every one; the needy are fewer
| in number and all business institu-
lions are busily engaged. There are
innumerable reasons why we should
! offer thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day is also day OF
feasting, and from all indications will
| likely be up to the standard or all
others. The housewives are now bus
lily engaged preparing good eats" for
the big day, such as turkey, chicken,
goose, vegetables, pumpkin pie, nince
pie, cranberry sauce, etc. This is
day of all days where special atten-
ton is paid to "a big dinner"
