THE NEW HAvEN's EMBARGO.

The New Haven road makes the fol- lowing appeal:
 "To shippers, consignees and agents: The hearing by the Interstate Com merce Commission at Louisville about car shortage and the number of cars on the New Haven lines that are being delayed because freight is not removed fast enough from freight houses, team and private tracks has forced the New Haven road to issue an embargo.
 "The road must now decide what can be done for the control of freight cars that are standing between the point of loading and the point of un- loading; this condition exists although there is largo number of cars at des- tination ready for delivery and a large number of cars waiting under demur- rage.
 "It is necessary to avoid an accumu- lation of standing loads in order to make those cars available for other business and in order to prevent the road from becoming blocked and to make it possible to give preference to the most important freight and to ship- ments of those who are able to unload promptly.
 "With practically no embargoes dur ing the last three months, unloading has been handled fairly we'll.
 By reason of over. er.shipment nearly COCO cars are standing short of destina- tion, which deprive other shippers of that number of cars and of the tracks upon which they stand.
 1.-Two plans may be used for improv- ing the conditions:
 "First-To endeavor to have the daily unloading more nearly approxi- mate the daily shipments and deliver. ies at destination.
 "Your cooperation is earnestly re. quested with this plan. If it can be made effective without accumulation of delayed cars there should be no restric- tions on shipments and the company would be in position to furnish, it's maximum of best service.
 "Second-To place embargoes, which become absolutely necessary when cars have accumulated in too great num- Der.
 "You can help materially by care in ordering and by prompt unloading to avoid the necessity for this policy. The embargo is objectionable to all and is only used as last resort"

The opposite attitude is one of un- thanktulness, sullenness, fault finding. Which is the best to have
 Thankfulness is best even for our physical bodies, best for our souls, best for those around us and best for God. God is pained by so much ingratitude.
 Thankfulness does not depeud upon poverty or richess. The most grateful people may be poor and the most un- grateful, rich. Thanksgiving does not defraud upon the world around us but upon the inner spirit.
 Why are we unthankful and sulk? Because we have not as much as the other fellow, or can't have our own way. Our life is not blessed, that we can see. But the trouble is with us. Some people are color. blind in spirit They cant see blessing. Each place we are in is never as bad us it might be. Each sorrow is not as hard as our broth CTS.
 Life is given to us by God; and He gives us just what is fitted to train us best. That is the life to glory in. If thankful spirit is best, how get itg By belief in God. The golden stream from Europe will never make us thankful, prosperity never will. Let us thank God we believe in him and all the rest will follow. Then we shall be- grate- full for the way He has led us, for the life He has given and for the hope of the future.

THANKSGIVING SERMONS
LContinued from page II

are the two sides of growing life. How differently God must view what we di. vide into seen and unseen realities! To us all life is wrapt up in mystery. Here is tulip bulb. It contains the possibilities of leaf and blossom. Plant it in the right conditions and these will soon push out and unfold most wonder. fully. The acorn may Tot contain every branch of the future oak tree, but it does have within itself those in finite possibilities of bud and branch waiting to develop. Man has done much to improve the fruits of the earth. He took the small fruit trees of the forest, gave them a better chance and produced the modern apple and pear. In these days we marvil at Burbank s wonderful varieties. But all that man can do is to give nature better chance. He is helpless without her.
 An old farmer once gave me two hands full of a new variety of corn of his own development I put these purple-red kernels in my pocket. Each had the possibility of delicious ears of corn. But not one of them ever sprouted. Nature had done her part the farmer had done his. Then why was there no harvest? Simply because I kept them in my pocket and never planted them. l never gave them a chance. They were kept away from the evironment they needed for de- velopment. They were denied earth and sunshine and rain.
 The story is told of the discovery of a wild man in the jungles of Africa. He was more like a wild beast than a human being. He could not talk and walked on all fours. As very young child he had been left to grow up alone in the jungle. His human side had not been given chance.
 Thus on the material side God has endowed the corn and the child with wonderful possibilities for develop. ment. On man rests the responsibility of giving them better chance. Many know the secret of getting 8 good har- vest from the soil, but only a few are wise about the harvest of the soul.

METHODIST CHURCH
"Our heartful thanks we offer Thee Our Father God

"Our heartful thanks we offer Thee,
 Our Father, God,
 For all the blessings full and free,
 By Thee bestowed"
 It is meet we should thus lift our hearts to our heavenly Father today for all the blessings with which He has crowned our lives. His children should, as has been said, "Never go to God for new blessings until you have given Him a receipt for past ones." But His blessings are renewed every morning, "Joys ever new revolving seasons yield" Thanksiving from the indivi. dual should ascend every morning. This day calls us as a nation to lift heart and mind in thankful strain to the All Father for, "One cycle more, with rich fruition crowned" Our forefathers in grim years set apart a day for thanksgiving and prayer and in true humility, which is the essence of all thanksgiving, lifted their grateful hearts to him.
 Therefore as today we surround the bountiful board and our hearts glow with the closer knitting of klnship's ties and pledges of loyalty and love breathe forth, let us remember that over all is the blessed relationship of the Father and rhe breeding spirit of His love and give thanks unto the Lord for home and its blessings.
 We thank Him for our country.
 In the family of nations, the pessi- mist notwithstanding, never before bova xxyn onnupiaJ co b;ub a ,,1ona ,r had such opportunities for service. What poor contempUible nationalism ours would be if we should shirk our responsibility, practice no self denial and live to ourselves alone! Our fore. fathers knew the strength which comes from struggle, the joy winch comes from moral and spiritual victory and we know we were a great nation before we became a rich one and we yet be- lieve the heart of the nation is still sound, that we still know our greatest possession is our spiritual inheritance. "Ours is a country born of the spirit of men and women who voluntarily exiled themselves to escape from the age old wrongs and corruptions deep rooted in the gray grown ages.
 That we have not failed the world and will not fail "God helping us, is cause for thanksgiving today. We are alive to our opportunities and are send ing our goods and gold and prayers to the distressed in every land.
 Burke said, Bring the dispositions that are lovely in private life into the service of the community" but we are giving that sentiment a worldwide significance, for which we say, 70 give thanks unto the Lord. Behind this splendid idealism our best Ameri- canism stands solidly. May we re. member today that we are bound in amending responsibility with that galaxy of heroes whose names shine in imperishable aud undimmed luster in freedoms sky, Kosciusco. Bolivar, Garibaldi, Laf'ayette, Washington and Lincoln: men who counted not the cost if only they might help 70 usher in the day of Lord, the reign of brotherhood. So we today fix our eyes on that "far off divine event, " "The parliament of nations the brotherhood of man"
 Believing this we feel sure of the future of our country.
 70 give thanks unto the Lord"

These Canadian bears are great pets,

some tough booking biscuits from her

POLLING PLACES IN SCHOOLS

For the first time during an election
in New York city, schoolhouses thii
year were used as polling olaces. -Four
hundred and eight-four public schools
were designated for that purpose and
in these there were S21 polling places.
The voters welcomed the change, not
only because of the added room which
was found in the schoolhouse base
ments, but because of the absence of
the litter of articles found when stores
are used for polling places While not
stated officially, 1t Is not denied that
the increasing influence Of women in
politics was responsible for the selec-
ton of the public schools.
Up to this year one-third or more OF
The polling places in New York city
have been in barber shops. and the old

campaigns missed the aroma of bay
rum and the odor of talcum powder
when the votes were recorded.
