THANKSGIVING.

President Wilson in his Thanks giving proclamation makes no at tempt to recount the specific things for which the Nation at this time has cause to be grateful. Had he par ticularized doubtless he would have given the result of the Second Liber- ty Loan a prominent place among those things for which the Nation should be thankful.
 For the great result of the Second Liberty Loan campaign, with nearly 10,000,000 Americans rallying to the financial support of the Nation and subscribing over four and half bill lion dollars for the purchase of Lib erty Loan Bonds, is a cause for deep thanksgiving in the heart of every loyal American.
 President Wilson says the Nation should be thankful that we have beer given the opportunity to serve man, kind as we once served ourselves ir the great day of our Declaration o1 Independence by taking up arm! against the tyranny that threatened to master and debase men every where.
 So, too, can all subscribers to tn, Liberty Loan be thankful that the! have been given an opportunity t. aid in this great mission of Americ, and have done their part toward giv ing to the world liberty and justic and security from the tyranny tha threatens to master and debase al nations and all men.
 Every purchaser of a Liberty Loal Bond has struck blow for human liberty and for civilization and hu manity. Let them remember this o Thursday, the 29th day of Novem Der, and be thankful.

CADILLAC CONVENTION
 DECLARED BIG SUCCESS

The greatest optimism over the out look for the coming years business was expressed by 1O2 Cadillac distrib- utors who attended the Dealers Con- vention held recently at Detroit.
 As Sales Manager E. c. Howard ex- pressed it, "It was very gratifying to realize that not merely certain sec tions of the country reflect this condi- tion, but that virtually every distrib- utor from the Pacific coast to the At lantic, and from Canada to the Gulf, is locking forward to the biggest year he has ever had.
 "And practically every distributor" he continued, had some constructive thoughts along the line of efficiency, which could be profitably used by the entire organization. This interchange of ideas has given every distributor something to thing about, and shown them ways in which they can even more intensively cultivate their terri tory"
 At the banquet held during the con- vention K. H. Collins, president of the Cadillac Company, delivered a stirring talk on the importance of maintaining the quality for which the Cadillac has always been noted, and showed how, in the face of rising costs, that there had never been the slightest thought of saving money by lowering the standards which have prevailed dur ing the entire fifteen years of Cadillac history.
 Theodore F. MacManus also deliver ed masterful address on the power of insistent and consistent advertising.

THOUSANDS SPENT IN
 SECURING BATTLE SCENES
J. Stuart Blackton Offers Many Soul Stirring Thrills in His Great
 Patriotic Spectacle.

Perhaps the most realistic, vivid battle scenes ever filmed are offered to the audience at the Orpheum The ater on Thanksgiving, matinee and night, for Red Cross benefit, when Vitagraph presents "Womanhood, The Glory of the Nation," the soul-stirring patriotic spectacle by J. Stuart Black ton, starring Alice Joyce and Harry Mercy.
 AS far as the human eye can reach is the battlefield strewn here and there with the heroes who have fallen in honor that their country might live. The air is dusky with the smoke of conflict and bombs burst, continually rising clouds of dirt as they tear up goodly portion of the ground.
 Then the trenches with their men leaning upwards, rifles aimed at the approaching foe are seen--airships encircle the field, dropping poisonous gas bombs and other deadly missiles on the men fighting beneath.
 Then come the decisive naval bat ties after America has concentrated every energy and prepared herself for the terrific onslaught of the foe. The fleets move seaward in majes- tic line, every gun manned by an exT pert marksman and every boiler att tended by devoted men. Now a shell sent from the enemy's ships finds its mark and shoots through the water, leaving behind it the dead white trail of foam. Finally it comes into con- tact with the ship and in few mo- ments hundreds have been claimed by watery grave. The men in the boiler room fight one another like rats in a hole as they feel their vessel give a lurch sideways and realize their means of escape is cut off.
 When war visits it's horrors upon any land its inhabitants become crazed and sacrifices untold are suf- fered by the people. There is no limit it is murderous slaughter and the side conceiving the most effective in- struments of destruction is naturally victorious.
 Then Uncle Sam plays his trump card-he sets his "firebugs" loose amid the enemy's ships and in another few minutes victory is recognised These "firebugs" are small boats steered by wireless so that no men are necessary and filled with gasoline which is set afire when they reach the fleet of the enemy and turn the waters Unto curtain of fire.
 MT. Blackton spared no effort ol expense that these scenes might bt authentic to the minutest detail ir order that the proper atmosphere bt secured and he was generously giver the cooperation of the U. s. Army and Navy as far as practicable.
 Therefore all the battle scene! graphically portray just the conditions were the country invaded by a pow erful enemy.

RESTRICTING RETAIL PROFITS.

The predatory jobber or commits sion man who has been making har- vest time of the war food necessities of the people is going to "get his." The very least that can happen to him is the revocation of his license to do business and that is what may hap pen to a number of dealers who have joined in unreasonable, unpatriotic and uneconomic combinations along the Pacific coast and in Arizona. Ev- eryone of them, since November who does business amounting to over $8,000 a month is under government license and is subject to the most stringent regulations and investiga- tion at any time when desired by the Food Administrator, who will seize hoarded food and who may start pro- ceedings that will land the dealer in jail for two years and subject him to fine of $500, this fine raised to $10,- 900 on conviction of conspiracy to de- feat the purposes of the food law. All cases of evasion or violation of the law will be dealt with summarily.
 The housewives will have their part in this. All excessive prices for food stuffs should be reported by them. Before long, the public will be told what prices the retailer pays for food products. The Food Administrator will control the basis products up to the small retailers door, then it will be up to the buying housewives to see that no retailer sells them for more than a fair margin of profit.

the subject of a paper read by Arthur

fore the Round Table club at its
monthly dinner at the Oliver hotel
Wednesday night. Mr.. Hubbard dis
cussed the subject of Investment
and Speculation. explained the use
and abuse of the stock market, and
the buying and selling of stocks and
bonds. DR.. Charles Stoltz presided at
the discussion which followed.
Investment, Mr. Hubbard defined
as the art of placing capital so
that it will be safe and yield an in
come" speculation els the art Of
placing capital so that it will null
tiply itself or at least yield more
than an average income"
The art of investment is not to
be slightly undertaken" said the
speaker. MANY people, who would
not think Of attempting other I'M
dertakings without calling i'm pro-
fessional assistance will plunge on
the stock market without knowl-
edge without study, and without
definite notion of what return they
should receive or as TO the amount
of risk they are taking. This is the
great evil of the stock market, the
eagerness of people with money,
TO lose it. and the Willingness of
lecherous brokers to take advan-
tage Of the peoples ignorance"
