There is no better rule Of pa

After asserting that the citizen
who insists upon criticizing the
war policies of the Government
is "a promoter Of anarchy" Mr..
Bryan said:

Goods Harvest Potatoes.

Berea. = Baldwin, Wallace college
has taken another step aiding food
production. After all men that could
be secured to care for the large potato
crop in this section were working and
more appeals for help came from
farmers, 10 goods volunteered to pick
up potatoes.
S. W. Jennings of Olmsted Falls,
who has a crop of 1000 bushels, filled
his automobile with young women
and took them to his farm. Donning
their gym suits the young women la
bored three and half hours.
More than $50 bushels were picked
up by the goods. Each was rewarded
with 81. They are wearing the bills
pinned to their dresses to the envy
of other students.
Miss Florence Jones of Columbus
said: 'It was great to pick up pota-
toes. 1 would much rather do that
than study history"

remarked: eve surely like to get out
We are out to show them what we can
do.'

Season for All to
Magnify Blessings
and Forget Crosses

w YE CELEBRATE that great
NN/ holiday, Thanksgiving, at
" " this season. In the gay
round of pleasures the day
always brings, perhaps not one of US
will stop a moment and seriously look
back over the past year, now rapidly
drawing to a close. Many of us-in
fact, all of us-should pause a moment
and quietly review the past months.
Perhaps these months brought US
many trials, but they also brought us
many blessings. 1t is the blessings we
should itemize and magnify and for
get the crosses. We may sigh dis
contentedly and say, "Well, last year I
had many more reasons to be thank
full than 1 have this year." but if we
are fair and honest with ourselves we
will have to admit that, even if
troubles came our way, the blessings
that followed them were far greater
in number.
Who has not read the story of that
first Thanksgiving Day? Fancy a
woman in these times enduring the
hardships and worries those strong
hearted New England pilgrims en-
dured; and what a wonderful lesson
in unselfishness they have handed
down to US
Argue and elaborate as we will on
our burdens, we know fate has been
good to US. Life is not all sunshine.
If it were we would very soon grow
tired Of life. Disappointments, Set
backs, establishments come to every
one, and we must expect they will
come to US. Indeed, we have no voice
in the matter. They will come to us
as surely as day follows night; but do
we accept them patiently? That is
another story.
Many women look only on the dark
side of life. "What's the use?" they
say dejected1y. Everything I try to
do turns out a failure" There is q
tiny breath of selfshness here. "P' is
very prominent in these women's
thoughts. Perhaps If they did some
thing worth while for someone else
their work would be. crowned with
success. Doing something for another
has never yet turned out a failure.
There isn't case on record showing
where failure has followed a kind deed
done for another. Perhaps this other
did not appreciate the efforts taken in
her behalf, yet the fact remains that
the woman who put herself out to
make another woman happy expe
rienced a wonderful happiness herself

BE Thankful Every Dav.

The purely passive contemplation Of
all good ought to be granted to COM
mon days on which no more has oc-
Cured than the daily round of little
pleasures and the absence of more
than ordinary annoyances. With the
evening offering of a silent thanksgiv-
ing to God we take conscious possess
sion of simple happiness and enjoy
it once again, instead of slipping off
past Gods best gifts as men so often
do. Thus thanksgiving involves the
recognition: All this good is from
God, and this recognition reacts on our
own mood, creating conscious joy and
humble trust in the God who will con-
tinue to bless in things both great
and small.

L U.S.-Teutonic War News

American infantrymen with the
American army in France exacted a
part revenge for trench raid during
a recent night by ambushing a large
German patrol in No Mans Land, kill
ing or wounding a number of the
enemy. The American patrol, in
which there were some Frenchmen, ar
ranged to ambuscade near the German
lines on a shell-ruined farm.
President Wilson is expected to is
sue a proclamation at Washington

within the United States to register as
a step toward Kidding the country Of
spies and sabotage.
American aviators have participated
In bombing raids over Germany and
have been doing observation duty at
various points of the battle line In
France. The aviators are officers of
the regular army, one Of whom had
been flying before the United States
entered the war.
Two deaths among the American ex-
peditionary forces announced at Wash

Chelsea, Mass, who died of pneumonia,
and Seaman Andrew M. Halseth of

BE THANKFUL AT ALL TIMES
Too Few of Us Think of Gratitude in
Connection With Our Every
day Mercies.

Genuine thankfulness is one of the
sweetest, richest and holiest of the
Christian graces; and yet we fear that
it is one of the rarest. We take
large portion of our daily exercises as
a matter of course, and hardly think
of thanking God especially for them.
Other things we attribute to our own
skill, or industry, or good judgment;
we take all the credit of them, and
leave God quite out of the calculation.
For special deliverances we return
thanks to God, and seem to forget ut
terly that he has been taking care of
us at all other times, when our eyes
discovered no danger. How many of
US awake in the morning after riding
all night in sleeping car, and espe-
cially render thanks that the train
did not shoot the track during the
hours of darkness? But if the train
had actually been pitched down an
embankment, and we had escaped IN
hurt, we should throw ourselves down
| on our knees and pour out our thanks
| to God for a wonderful preservation.
| Common, everyday services that pass
wholly unnoticed, deserve as fervent
an expression of gratitude as an es-
cape from a burning house or ship
wrecked vessel would deserve. l sus.
pect that when God said "Whoso of.
fereth praise glorifieth me-" he haC
reference to the habitually thankful
souls who recognize his loving kind
ness every hour, and under every kind
of providences. A graceless sinner
might thank God after being dragged
up from drowning into a lifeboat; {
devout and thorough Christian onl!
would thank him ''in whose hands oul
breath is" for every breath that hi
draws.-Theodore Cuyler.

Calls in Last Reserves.

Iondon-Germany called up her
last reserves within the last few days,
according to the Central News CORE
spondent at Zurich. All men who pre-
viously had been rejected were or
dered to present themselves for re-ex-
animation and within "a hours all not
utterly incapacitated were on their
way to the training centers.
This action, says the correspondent,
is attributed to the intention of the
central powres to make final effort
on the western front before Americas

age to the plant of the American Sim

months will be required to rebuild the
plant, which reduces fuel dust from
