Universal THANKSGIVING,

Some call November the dreary
month Of the yea, the black sheep Ct
the II; and yet it is the month cf
than1fulness, the completion Of the
fruitage Of the year. In the woods
the squirrels are industriously at work
emong their last gleanings before cold
weather sets in, their happy "chee-
cheeree" joining with the calls of the
blue jays and crows and smaller birC:s
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 othe~ 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
far1h wagons to carry away for winter
storage for use by both the family ard
the cattle.

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

TIME world may we'll seem never
to have been so troubled, never
to have had so much to regret.
The Great War has bred cynic-
ism and despair. But Nature is not
a pessimist. 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 pri-
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.
GratefuIness is the handmaiden Of
grit. Natures whisper of Well-being
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 unquenchabIe light. No dis
aster threatened or possible can oblit-
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
boIs. The symbol is worth having,
since it always VisuaIizes the eternal
charity of Nature herself, and since it
is an ever present reminder of the
finest resources in human ideals, hu-
man aspiration, human will to win.
1t is from the gathered harVests, the
assembled fruits Of labor, the estab-
Eshed signs of productive power in
every activity of men and women that
Thanksgiving gets it's meaning.

satisfied t. stay away fer another

Our town looks real cosmopolitan
like t'day, as Tell Binkley would say.
On ever corner you kin see little
clumps O. fellers that haint met in
years holdin' reunions an talkin'
about ole times. Some o. 'em look
like they had lots t. be thankful fer
an some o. 'em look like tn place
they come from ought t. be thankful,

ought t. be thankful that Thanks

Being Thankful.

Thanksgiving is not a day, it is a
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.

he's ever had clothes an money
enough at tn same time t. git back.
Halle A1opps, who's been gone
about ten years, is home from COshOc-
ton, Ohio. He says he's lied SO long
about tn size O. his fathers farm
here that he hardly recognized it when
he got back.
Grayson Mapes wuz about tn first
teller that showed up fer Thanks

sent his mother a Centennial edition

over from JeffersOnville on parole
but nobody knOwed him.
Joe Apple is back in town shakin'
hands, too. His WhiSkerS have been
driven back an his step haint quite
as springy as it Wuz before he traded
his hardware store fer some rice land
in Arkansas. He's jiSt a plain shOv-

He says that while tn work is a little
harder than bein' in business, Their
haint no books t. keep an Their haint
nothin' invested an you kin lay off
when it rains.
Laurel Spray, who sold his farm
here two years ago an invested in a
gold mine out West, is in town Wearin
a straw hat. He says he's been so

any Teller is gittin' along, whether
he's single or tied down, he feels a
whole lot better if he knows he's got

proud O you.
But mother is tn one. She believes

you have t hurry away an that where
you've been wOrkin' has had t. close

Parry .: :: : J

TIME most delightful part OF my
life was that age when boys and
girls freely mingle with each
other as friends, half boy and
girl, half man and woman.
There was one Thanksgiving when
the head of our large family invited
every member that could be reached
to spend a week in his large country
house, including Thanksgiving day.
Those Of US of my generation went
in for good time together. The girls
were of that age when taste for mis-
chief predominates. One night when
l was getting ready for bed l found
the legs of my pajamas sewed up.
When l had ripped the sewing, got
them on and tumbled into bed found
the sheets scratched. had turned off
the light, so, springing out of bed, l
tiptoed hastily to the door, opened it
and was in time to grab the last of a
bevy of girls who ran away in the
darkness.
Throwing my arms around my cap
tive, I gave her a smack, she strug-
Cling to be free, then let her go.
Slipping back into my room, turned
on a light, and there, sticking onto
the breast of my pajamas, was an
elongated pin Of chased gold set in
the center with single sapphire.
The problem was to identify the girl
I had kissed by discovering the owner
of the pin. I consulted with my men
cousins, and it was decided that I
should put the article up at auction
at the Thanksgiving dinner, bids to
be accepted only from the men.
Accordingly when the nuts and cof-
fee came on I took the pin out of my
vest pocket and, holding it up before
the company, said: 81 found this ar

ALI Should Be Grateful.

There is something about the shock
ed grain in the fields, the heaps of
yellow pumpkins, the stubble Of the
cut corn and wheat, even the blue
gray of the November sky which bends
low like a benediction that speaks
of righteousness, Of fruitiOn, of Gods
loving care. It is the universal thanks
giving, the uplifting of all his crea-
lures hearts in praise.

Message of Cheer.

The holiday season is here and with
it comes a message of cheer and a
quickening of the benevolent impulses
of the heart. Thanksgiving day-a
festival for giving thanks for the mer-
cies Of the closing years. one of the
Oldest institutions in America. The
Pilgrim Fathers held their first har-
vest thanksgiving festival in 1921.

A Prayer of
Thanksgiving
By WIS LIE N

THHAT we can see round about
IL Us the faces of friends: the de-
serving, that we may help them the
needy, that we may render aid; and
little children, that we may rejoice:
TTHAT we can hear the kind
il words of loving friends, the
sweet songs in church and home, the
prayers of devout people, and the
grooming of Mothers lullaby:
TVHAT we can feel loving hands
u in ours, trusting hands of little
children, comforting hands upon our
throbbin9 brow; that we can feel the
warm embrace of the old folks who
receive us at the homestead, or of
our own who, dwelling apart from
us, have come back this day:
TVHAT we can taste the savory
j. good things, which, by Gods
bounty, are this day set before us
through the miracle of Nature,
which is God:
TTHAT we can speak to give sim
j. cere thanks to him who, in his
great goodness, has permitted us to
meet once more on this day of
Thanksgiving; chat we can speak
hope and ENCOURAGEMENT to our
loved ones; words of comfort to the
suffering and the discouraged and
the lowly, words of hope and cheer
and promise to those who have
fallen by the way:
TVHAT we can pray with knowl.
u edge that the prayers of the sin.
cere are answered, that he to whom
we offer our prayers Is full of loving
kindness and pity and forgiveness,
and that his help is assured:
TRULY, all these things are
j. Gods gifts, and without them
there could be no Thanksgiving.
Teach US to appreciate them for
thine own Glory. AMENl

ANOTHER BIG U-BOAT ::
SUNK BY AMERICAN.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. SIC
The Standard OIL tank steamship
Navajo, destroyed by fire at sea on
August is, while homeward bound,
had an encounter on her trip over
with a submarine and sank the enemy
vessel with her guns after q fouI.hour
battle, according to members Of the
crew Of q, who arrived here today on
an American steamer. The destruc.
ton Of the Navajo was caused BY tho
explosion of a fuel pipe. -,
The Navajo had three separate en-.
counters with the submarine before she
sank her. one Of the officers said. She
first met the German craft off the
Irish coast and drove her off. The
next day firing was heard aud large
sailing vessel appeared pursued BY what
those on the Navajo identified - the
same U-boat. q
The Germans sank the sailing vessel
and then engaged the Navajo for .
second time until the British hydro
airplane appeared and the U-boat sub.
merged.
A fog settled down and the airplane
returned to shore. When the fog lifted
the U-boat was found still lurking iear
and the third engagement ensued. The
tanker was damaged In the stern, but
in turn registered a hit "squarely be-,
meath. the U-boat's periscope." The Of!
ficer described her a. sinking stern
first.
The Navajo proceeded to Francs for
repairs. When she caught fire on the
return trip. the crew was rescued and
landed at an Irish port
