FxAVE you counted your blessings
kM and are you truly thankful?
Or are you one of the army OF
women who each year declare they
Lave nothing to be thankful for?"
There ism woman living, c. man.
who has nothing to be thankful for.
Those who protest against fate, who
say theirs is hard life. void of all
beauty, comfort, cheer or anything
whatsoever to give thanks for. are
wrong with the world. Something is
the matter; they need REIMBURSEMENT
and different point of view.
The peevish, dissatisfied woman who
allows herself to be unhappy because
she does not possess as much of this
worlds goods as her neighbor, anu
then says she has nothing to be Thank
ful for, has only to 60 into city hos
pital and there she viii see many rea'
sons for her own thanksgiving.
You mothers who have healthy chill
dren, strong Of body and straight OF
limb, may be thankful that your little
ones are not compelled to inhabit q
home for incurable cr1pples.
You fathers who have kind, gentle
wives and well-bred children may be
thankful that you are not married to
a shrew, a woman who neglects her
home, her children. and makes har
husbands life uhbearable.
Every one of you can be thankful for
the sunshine, the rain, the beauty OF
the hills and fields. the fruits of the
earth that will appease your hunger.
.5e clothing that keeps you warm, and.
above all, for the roof that covers you,
Many there are. you know. that have
not these blessings. The blind cannot
see the sunshine or the beauties OF ma
ture: the povertystricken cannot en-
jov the fruits of the earth and warm
clothing; the homeless have no roof.
tree to shelter them, and the cripples
cannot feel the SOFTLY falling rain.
Are you, then, making the world
about you more livable and lovable for
some poor, disheartened mortal? Are
you tightening his burden? Or are you
in your selfishness making the world
bleak and cold and inhospitable for
those about you?
You can do mething to help the
unfortunate ones to be thankful. Per-
haps you cannot give a bountifuily
supplied basket of provisions 20 your
poor neighbor, but you can send her
a plate of biscuits. or call upon her
and cheer her up bit. You can write
a cheerful letter to shut-in or take
her a bright bunch of posies or a
basket of fruit. Flowers and fruit are
always welcomed at the hospitals; but
IL you take them there yourself, add
Ing the brightness Of your presence
they will be doubly welcome.
Do not let the day pass without per
forming some act of kindness or char
fly, tightening some burden or making
the heart of some sad friend sing q
joyful melody.
Be truly thankful for your own bless
tngs and dispense blessing wherevei
you may.

ICE FOR SUMMER.

Ice is an important commodity on
the farm in the summer. 1t can
be used to keep many foods fresh, as
meats, milk, cream, butter and so on.
Many foods are also more appetizing
if kept cool. The ice house should be
built square and about as high as the
length h the wall. If 10 feet square
and with 10 foot posts it should hold
about 18 to 20 tons, and if 12 feet
square with IL foot posts it should
hold 30 tons. 1t is necessary to
keep air from circulating around the
ice or it will melt. Sawdust is good
for packing around the ice, but straw
or chaf are also good. Good drain
age is also necessary. If there is no
ice near by, it can be made in gal
vanized iron box made the size the
cakes of ice are desired. 1t should
be little larger at the top than the
bottom. Pour it full of water which
will freeze enough each day or two so
that it can be removed by pouring
hot water on the galvanized iron box
which will loosen the iron cake. Then
fill with water and so on. It will not
take long to make summers supply
of ice this way and one will know the
kind of water that goes into the ice

REV JOSEPH G. SAILER CELE--
BRATES ORDINATION TO
THE PRIESTHOOD.

The silver jubilee of his ordination
to the priesthood and the reading Of
his first mass was celebrated Monday
morning at 10 o'clock at St. Agnes
church on Superior Avenue by Rev.
Joseph G. Sailer, brother Of the pas
tor, Rev. John NJ. Sailer. The Rt.
Rev. Bishop Wehrle, D.. D., Of the
diocese Of North Dakota, under whose,
direction Rev. Sailer labored for
many years, in the missionary field Of
that state, honored the occasion by his
presence. A number Of other init
mate clergy friends Of the celebrant
were also in attendance. Music was
furnished by the boys choir, directed
by Prof. Urban Deger. Dinner was
served at the Dominican convent Of
Our Lady Of Good Counsel, on River
street.
The reverend jubiliarian, Father
Joseph Sailer, studied for the priest
hood in tn archdiocese Of Cincinnati,
and was ordained Is years ago by
most Rev. Henry Elder, late arch
bishop of Cincinnati.
In Missionary Field
Yielding to the appeals of his north
western friends, he at once entered the
missionary field Of North Dakota.
Thre he labored among people of vari-
ous nationalities, and in his earlier
ministrations was unassisted in vast
territory, equally in extent one-third
Of the state Of Ohio. Churches and
schools in various places were erect
ed by him, many Of them fourishing
parishes. Several years ago he was
appointed dean Of the Oakes district,
but when the state was divided into
two dioceses he chose to labor under
Bishop Wehrle, who had been a life
long friend of the family.
Despite the hardships of northwest
ern missionary life, Father Sailer has
retained the younthful vigor Of his
earlier priesthood. Of modest, un-
assuming disposition, averse to any
honors or publicity, he is esteemed by
Catholics and Protestants alike.
For the service, the church was be-
decked with flowers and palms. The
church choir rendered very pleasing

music Dayton Press.

FORMER LINTON
BOY WRITES
CAPTAIN MARTIN IS LIVING
LIKE A KING
DR.. Dale L. Martin, son of E. E..
Martin former barker of Linton
writes the following letter to his folks
at Orland, Cal.
Guth, Pa,
Nov. 21, 1917.
Dear Ones:

Dear Ones:
It has been a long time since
wrote any Of you but time has flown
SO quickly that it seems only yester-
day. Because of my rather unusual
situation and surroundings it is hard
to bring myself to write and even
harder to write
When last wrote we had left AL
lentown about 140O strong to 90 on
q practice march into the field, and
yet be close enough to town so we
could easily return in case the wealth
er became severe. We are still in
the field though if I am any Judge
the weather is surely severe.
Imagine the average fall in the
East during November and you will
know what we endure. 1t has beer,
freezing cold every night has showed
several times, and last night it rained
gently for several hours. Today is
overcast and looks wintry, though it
is warmer.
Our camp is near an old abandoned
iron mine, and is spread over about
a square mile of country. Each bat
talon of 225 men lives in separate
unit and chooses its own camp site
within this area, has it's own head
quarters and serves it's own mess
The country is rolling. The camp is
on the bank of a small river called
the Jordan.
Ready for Winter
When we got into camp we were
assigned q camping place for our
battalion No. x, but were told we
could change our location if we saw
fit. / advised the boys to make dug
outs and roof them over against rain
and cold weather. We chose a spot
on the sloping wall of the old mine
and put our houses in SO as to keep
our men together. The men worked
like beavers digging into the bank,
making sod walls, building freplaces,
putting on thatched roofs, until now
Battalion x is comfortably housed,
one house to every 8 or men and a
fireplace in each house. It is the
show-place of the camp, and last Sun
day afternoon, actually, thousands OF
people visited US.
Our officers quarters are built into
the side of hill about half way
down and is reached by series OF
dirt steps in the hill and foot-bridge
made by the boys. 1t is large enough
for six cots, there are six of US, and
high enough to stand up in at al
points. The walls are Of dirt ant
the roof of double-ply canvas. Our
fireplace is made by digging into the
! back of the hill and is built in with
: bricks set in clay. Now that We
have a good shelter, good fire al
night and Rochester lamp we art
beginning to live and enjoy life.
Lives Like a King

LINTON BOYS ARE
DOING NICELY
Camp Dodge, Iowa,
Dec. II. 1917.

To the Folks at Home:
see my first letter didn't get home
in time for that weeks paper, 30 this
week am mailing it q day earlier.
This 10 . great camp just now,
owing to the few men in most Of the
companies. In our company there
are just eight privates, and two Of
them are to be Transferred next Mon
day. In addition, another is to be
discharged for tuberculosis. The
result is that privates and non-coms
are busy keeping coaNin the bunkers,
doing guard and taking care Of the
fires. There has been no drifting
whatever since arrived. Everybody
is waiting eagerly for the arrival Of
the new men. They can help with
the work and also get us back to the
drill schedule.
Mrs. Streeter and the children ar
rived in Des Moines last Saturday
and we have rented nice little bunga-
low, four rooms, kitchen and bath,
furnished for $50 month. The
folks had quite time in coming. I
telegraphed them to come on the
Wednesday before the day they came,
and the Western Union neither de-
!ivered it nor let me know that they
hadn't. / found them, Sunday,
however.
The men here have been greatly dis
appointed by war department order
that men will not be allowed to 20
home for Christmas. Many of them
had planned on seeing home folks,
perhaps for the last time. during the
holidays.
Linton and Emmons county bows are
doing nicely. / haven't seen all of

It is quite. a job to find the men hare.
The camp is more than thirty blocks
long and long blocks at that.
We are comfortably fixed here, ex-

the menu of our last Sunday dinner
1t is a little better than the regular
meals, but not much:

all we can eat, too.
So far have been able to get te
Des Moines for while on Wednes.
days, Saturdays and Sundays. How.
ever the train service to town is very
poor. When all the men get here Il
will be much worse.
