Thanksgiving
Thought
Not q Cut-snd-Dried Thanlnxiv-
ing Day Story. But Something
Real To Think Over.
By EARL GOODWIN.

1t is a surprise to learn
there are a few men in Wash
ington who viii oppose a vote
in the National Capital be-
cause they believe a few hood
lums viii make a noise on
election day.
Perhaps had these timid
gentlemen been present at
Bunker Hill, they would have
counseled a retreat because
the British had guns. Inde-
pendence Day is probably a
superfuous addition to the
calendar to them.
On the first Thanksgiving
Day, 296 years ago, what
would have become of the
Plymouth colony had Gov
ernor Bradford felt that the
Mayfower should return to
England and that the colo
aists should give up their
struggle for a New Liberty
because the outlook was DIFF
icultf
They were told that a fierce
tribe of indians was only
twenty miles away bent on
destroying the colonists.
Miles Standish, no b gger
than a sixteen-year-old lad,
went out to meet the red
hoodlums, and single-handed
killed their best fighters. He
killed them because he want
ed to stay on American soil
and cast a ballot.
We are told by timid gen.
tlemen that if we have a vote
in Washington there will be
riots and trouble, because
Washington happened to have
Ia riot or two at elections for
ty years ago.

Germany viii Not Conquer This
Nation Until She Is Able to

The Washington times., 1917-11-29

This picture by Raemaekers
viii inspire with confidence
every American that sees it.
There stands old Uncle
Sam, watching his boys march
down to the ocean bound for
France and the battlefelds.
They come in millions, like
q mighty torrent.
Seen from afsr the army is
Q moving mass Of determined
power.
Look close and study the
individual soldier. See a man
who goes out to fight, not be-
cause Els home, HIS money,
HIS life is attacked, but be-
cause an attack has been made
on the principle Of human
liberty and because he puts
that principle above all selfish
interests. I
The Washington times., 1917-11-29

This Is q day In the world s
history when human beings
have need to realize that for
which they may be thankful
and that for which they have
TO prepare.
What win come out Of the
world uphesval no man can
say, but we know that justice
viii win, as It always does.
Human lives in millions,
money in tens Of billions are
poured out and there seems no
bnd, but there will be an end
and with victory.
As the white races bleed
year after year, the yellow
races Of Asia remain intact
and watch. Not a pleasant
thought. But Asia cannot
unite or conquer. You can't
make a rope Of sand.
As war loosens respect for
law, dissatisfaction, anarchy,

Oklahoma City. July 8. - Attic ugh

temporary relief to growing crops which
are suffering from hot, drying winds ard
lack OF moisture in the soil, says j.
p. Slaughter, meteorologist, in the week
ly synopsis of weather and crop con-
ditions in Oklahoma during the week
ending Tuesday, July 3.
The synopsis follows:
Intensely hot, clear weather, with
drying south winds, prevailed until sun
day evening, when there was a change
to cooler. accompanied by light to mod
crate showers over most Of the state.
but where the rainfall was not suffic-
lent to more than temporarily relieve
the drought.
Fruits Also Hurt
All crops, pastures and fruits were
unfavorably affected by the intense
heat and scant moisture. Corn espee
ially suffered. but there was no perma-
nent injury in the eastern portion. In
the central and western portions. how
ever, corn was seriously injured i'm
many localities and is in a critical con-
dition and badly needing rain. Other
growing crops, cotton, sorghum grains,
broom corn. sweet potatoes and peanuts
held up well.
Considering the crop as whole. cot
ton improved, IS mostly chopped to
stand, well cultivated and SQUARES set
ting on the early planted. No damage
by insect pests was reported. Much Of
the crop is late, however the plants
being small
There was an increase in the acre
age of sorghum grains and they are
generally promising, although late and
making rather slow growth.
Broom corn is also in generally fair
to good condition Sweet potatoes are
poor stand in many localities and
the setting of the plants continued dur
ing the past week
Peanuts are in promising condition
and making satisfactory growth.
Pastures Are Fair.
Pastures are fair to good in the east
ern portion. but very poor or a failure
in the central and western portions.
Truck crops also are good in the east
ern and generally poor in the central
and western portions.
The second stand of alfalfa has been
harvested and saved in good condition,
but the yield was again very light.
Harvesting of wheat and oats Is
about finished and threshing is pro-
crossing rapidly. The quality Of the
grain IS generally good TO excellent.
while the yield varies from practical y
a failure in some localities in the west,
to excellent in some of the eastern coun'
