NATIONAL ARMY WONT
GO TO FRANCE SOON

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The posi-
bility that the first increment of the
national army will not be sent to
France for at least six months loom
ed large today when it became known
that the allies demands for food,
coal and iron are so strong as to fore
cast use of afailable ocean tonnage
of her troops.
\ decision on the question will rest
largely on reports expected soon from
the American commission now abroad
and on figures being assembled by
Food Administrator Hoover to show
the amount of grain and other food
products available for export in thc
United States and South American
countries. Present indications are,
the food administrator believes. that
the food situation, particularly in
England, France and Italy, will force
the United States to use it's ships to
send food instead of soldiers.
Plans for the second draft would
be affected by any postponement of
the removal of the first increment
from camps, but since the camps ca
pacity is much greater than their
present assignments, it would not
be necessary to delay the draft until
the camps are actually emptied.

MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER

The items of news telling of the
planting of fall oats in various parts
of South Carolina do not get space
on the first page. They are of more
Importance, if less immediate inter-
est than most of the news that does
appear there. They give us hope
that the people of the South are not
deaf to the lessons of the past three
years nor blind to the great obliga-
tions which confront them.
For it is the South, as President
Wilson declared last spring, which
can do most to add to the food re-
sources of the nation. The South
has proved this already, moved in
large part by great patriotic i'm
pulse, and finding itself as a result
more prosperous today than ever in
it's history. Less food is being
brought into this section than at any
time in many years. The South is
not only producing cotton to clothe
the world. 1t is learning to feed it.
self at the same time and is introduc-
ing new foods to the rest of America.
AS yet however, we have made on
ly beginning. We have not begun
really to feel the strain of the times
in which we live. The farmers of the
South have seen the predictions
which were made last spring as to
the worlds need of food this winter
fulfilled only too completely. Let
them be warned now that the need
next year will be even more acute.
Whether the war ends before another
harvest or not famine will stalk
through Europe a twelvemonth hence
unless America is prepared to come to
the rescue.
The News and Courier, understand,
s not preaching against the plant
ing of a big crop Of cotton next
spring. 1t never has done that. Even
~ viz VI WHEN gloom
was thickest it protested against the
absurd propositions which were
brought forward for limiting the cot
ton acreage by law. South Carolina
must plant cotton next year, lust as
it was compelled to plant cotton in
1915, dangerously uncertain as the
outlook then was. But South Caro-
lima must not plant cotton at the ex-
pense of food and feed. There
are limitations within which, even
1T the present high prices of cotton,
it is more profitable for the South
Carolina farmer to raise foodstuffs
than it is to raise cotton; and to do so
next year will be besides the largest
possible contribution to the winning
of the war.-Charleston News and
Courier.

SEEMS TO FIND LITTLE JOY
Possibly Premonitlon Of rs Fate
Makes the Turkey Such . Con-
firmed Pessimist.

The turkey Is a serious bird. The
expression written on his bill, as he
looks mournfully out over the world
or walks solemnly, his long neck sway
ing here and there in search of the
passing grasshopper, is that of set
tied melancholy due to the certainty
Of fate and to the hereditary loss of
his illusions.
For, ever since the days Of the Pill
grim Fathers, the lives Of countless
generations of the turkey family have
been cut short in their prime by sud-
den and bloody tragedy. What would
be the effect upon the minds and
hearts of q human family If every
member Of it for 300 years back had
met violent and bloody end just upon
reaching maturity? A pail would hang
over the annals of the house. Despair,
fixed and settled, would be written
into the very constitutions of its men,
bers, and life would become burden,
curse almost too great to be borne.
1t must have been that one of the
Pilgrim Fathers, viewing the end of
the turkey as symbolic of that OF
man, wrote that cheerful ditty which
our ancestors were accustomed to
sing in their gathering for divine wor-
ship:
Thy years are one eternal day,
And must thy children die so soon?

Universal THANKSGIVING.

Some call November the dreary
month of the year, the black sheep of
the II; and yet 1t Is the month of
thankfulness, the completion Of the
frultage of the year. In the woods
the squirrels are industriously at work
among their last gleanings before cold
weather sets in, their happy "chee-
cheeree" joining with the calls of the
blue jays and crows and smaller birds
in the universal paean Of thanksgiv-
ing. In the underbrush and in the
meadows the mice, too, are harvest
ing, with their hearts full of gladness.
Bees are buzzing over goldenrod and
wild asters and other late flowers; the
quail that have escaped the hunter
are like Ruth, gathering the last
grains In the farmers fields; while the
farmer himself and his boys are load
ing the golden pumpkins into the big
farm wagons to carry away for winter
storage for use by both the family and
the cattle,

Joy In Thanksgiving.

1t Is a pity that so few pious peo-
pie have learned how to participate
in the deep happiness that Is con-
tanned In thanksgiving to God for
events that bring JOY or for happy
days. If some joyous event comes
quite Unexpectedly or long desired
into our life, If father or son returns
from the war, IL convalescence comes
at last If victory Is won, how warm
and generous then rises the impulse
from the souls depths to seek a
Spirit whom one can thank for 1t
all Happy he who knows then the
way to the throne Of God! Then the
vibrations of the soul ring out joy
Gus thanksgiving to God. This
thanksgiving to him to whom in faith
we attribute the event gives 1t Its
significance, gives II place in q vast
er, holy process, that is above all 9TH
er things.

Being Thankful.
By LIE WIS AL L E N

Thanksgiving is not a day, it is q
habit. We cannot be thankful on
Thanksgiving day unless we have been
learning how every day in the year.
Here are some simple rules: Walk
on the sunny side of the street; live
as much as possible in the best room
in the house think about your friends,
not your enemies; talk about your
good luck, not your bad. These are
some of the ways of acquiring the
spirit Of cheerfulness which Is the
only soil in which the flower Thanks
giving will grow.

SEASON TO REJOICE
Reasons for Thanksgiving
Are So Many as To
Forbid Gloom.

TINE world may we'll seem never
to have been so troubled, never
i to have had so much to regret.
The Great War has bred eynlc-
ism and despair. But Nature Is not
q pesslmist. A years sun, a years
rains, a years labor, have not been
without their fruits. In farm and fac
tory, In public endeavor and In prl-
vate struggle toward the light, the
twilight Of the year shows results that
forbid the gloomy and inspire courage
and good cheer. The instinct Of
Thanksgiving belongs to courage.
Gratefulness Is the handmaIden Of
grit. Natures whisper Of welI-belng
rises to a splendid volume of whole
hearted song. Whatever may happen
In Americas own life, or In Americas
relations with the rest Of the world,
the reasons for thanksgiving shine
with an unquenchable light. No dis
aster threatened or possible can obIit-
crate the great fact Of piled riches In
natural and human resources. The
fixing Of Thanksgiving as a festival
at the close Of the harvest era is,
after all, but an adaptation Of SYM
bols. The symbol Is worth having,
since II always visuaIIzes the eternal
charity Of Nature herself, and since II
ls an ever present reminder Of the
finest resources in human ideals, hu-
man aspiration, human will to win.
II Is from the gathered harvests, the
assembled fruits Of labor, the estab-
iished signs Of productive power In
every activity Of men and women that
Thanksgiving gets it's meaning.
