The True Thanksgiving Spirit
BESSIE CONWAY,
 Eighth Grade.

How many of you know the true spirit of Thanksgiving? l know you all think you do, but do you? r.e way to keep Thanksgiving is not .o see how much you can eat as some people seem to think at least that is net the way for any one who has enough to eat every day of his life 70 behave.
 srch conduct might be excused in a boot black or news boy, who knew he wduld net get another such chance until Christmas and maybe not then. say such con 1ucL might be excusable for him but DO: for you. Then what is t.. way to keep Tnanksgttng?" l hear you ask.
 I know eff a little boy who when asked what Thanksgiving day was "It's tue day 10 thank you for ey- erything you get, whether you like 't or no+. But whtle Thanksgiving day is for being thankful for every thing you have, l omce Gaw a motto whiG I admired very mudh. It was "Iet us see instead of how much We can get to be thankful fOrt how much We can give others to be thankful for"
 One word more. Be sure you give 10 some one who will need it, not some Cne to whom it will be a burden.
 Bcarirg this in mind let us try tC keen Thanksgiving iu the proper spirit.

chiefs OF the great brotherhoods.
After the conference the brother
hood men declared the Presidents
grasp of the situation and OF the posi-.
ton OF the men might result in an
understanding. and others in touch
with the conference said the repre-
sentatiyes OF the men showed a dis.
position TO cooperate, to avoid
strike.
After hearing the leaders OF the
zen for .wo hours, the President sent
for the managers for conference.
The President, according to those who
attended the conference, showed a ia.
miliarity with the situation that sur
prised the men. The President, 1t
was said. submitted no counter prop
ositlon TO the men, but he held out
hope for an adjustment by legislation

Monday night the President made
a brief public statement: Il have met
both sides and have gone over the
case with the utmost frankness.

morrow whether We have found
