Thanksgiving Day.

While this country is in war with
Germany and the condition of the
country is greatly disturbed thereby,
still each Of us have a great many
things for which to be thankful. The
country has been prosperous, and in
many ways has been enjoying untold
success. It's a pleasure to know that
none of our people are suffering for
the necessaries of life as they are in
some of the foreign countries. This
is something to be thankful for.
The fact that most of our people are
IN the possession of good health and
strength; we'll dressed, with plenty to
eat and steady employment, is much
for which we should be thankful The
further fact. that the women of this
country have been able to respond so
nobly and efficiently in the discharge
IF the Red Cross work for the Army
boys, is much to be thankful for.
These are stirring times and if every
body is doing his share towards al
leviating the sorrows and heartaches
Of some deserving one, whether in war
Or not, is something more to be thank
full for. There are many ways in which
we can do our bit, and if it is done
willingly and promptly we can be
truly thankful. We hope that the spir-
t of helpfulness will permeate all our
peopleSon Thanksgiving Day.

Governor Philips Action.

Would lead one to believe that he
has some purpose in delaying the mat
ter of calling a special election for the
election of a successor of Paul O. Hus-
ting to the u S. Senatorship made va
cant by his death. 1t cannot be pos
sible that the Governor will stand in
the way of the people when they want
the privilege of voting for the U. S.
Senator and object to the Governor be-
ing given the right by the Legislature
to temporarily fill that position. Can
it be possible that the Governor is
going to stand out against the wishes
of the people? Why call the Legis-
lature together and cause all the extra
expense that it will put the people to
when perhaps that legislation could
be delayed? Why so willing to cause
this expense and still make the spe-
cial election expense an excuse for not
holding said election? The Governor
appears to be afraid of the people. He
certainly will have occasion to be a.
fraid when he comes up for election
for they will bear in mind his present
political manuevers. Who holds the
sovereign power, the Governor or the
people? How long will the people al
low the governor to pervert their
wishes? Who is Governor Phillips?
Let'slook into his life's history and
learn whether there are any. valid rea-
sons why he should take it upon him
self and want to be the dictator in
Wisconsin. Who's interest does he
want to serve or conserve, by his ac-
tons? There's a niger in the wood
pile, let us investigate and see if we
can find it?

KEEPING YOUR
PENCIL WHERE
YOU CAN FINDII

Stenographers and scribes of ev-
cry description will appreciate this
new pencil-holder, invented by Geo.
W. Paulus, of Grand Rapids, Wis,
which can be attached to any kind of
notebook. 1t is in the form of an
open-sided cylinder, of a diameter a
bout equal to that of an ordinary pen
Gil. At the back of the cylinder is
bead extending the full length of the
device. This serves the double pur-
pose of strengthening the holder and
of providing a means for affixing a
stiff piece of paper to it. The paper
IS used to glue the pencil-holding de-
vice to the cover of the pad.-Novem-

M. c. A. meeting. The local paper
there makes the following compliment
tary remark of his address.

in the opera house Monday night be-
fore a large audience. He came to
Necedah for the main purpose of stir
ing up interest in and support for the
7. NJ. c. A. soldiers fund that is be-
ing raised thruout the nation.
Those int attendance were told in a
brief and concise manner of why we
are at war. Mr. Brazeau showed the
justice and necessity of our part in
it, and declared that there should only
be two parties in this Countrywide
true Americans and pro-German. Dem
ocrats, Republicans and Socialists a.
like should put their power behind the
president and help him in every pos
sible way to win the war.
Mr.. Brazeau then told of the grand
work being done by the Y. NJ. C. A.,
and how necessary it was for the well
fare of our soldier boys.
He urged liberality in donations
for the Y. NJ. c. A. fund, believing it
just as necessary as money for guns
and ammunitions of war.

Women used to wear thin hosiery
and low shoes that did not protect
their feet in winter; for year or two
they have clung to high-cut boots with
good results to health. They have
shown a preference for long, warm
coats and they must have been exceed
ingly comfortable. They have worn fur
as it should be worm for protection
and not wholly for show, and that toe
was wise. Why not continue the good
work and dress according to the tenn
perature.

Berlin is naturally inflated with the
success of German arms in Italy. But
the war theatre is a wide one and
there are several directions in which
Germany may look without deserving
reason for confidence. Especially dis
couraging from a German standpoint
would seem to be the most recent ad-
vices from Petrograd.
