Bent Pins Still Good.

First little Willie was plunged into
the deepest sorrow because he read in
the papers that castor oil had taken an
unusual jump In price. And now he is
in for fresh outbprst of tears. The
price Of fish hooks has advanced. Many
dealers have announced that fish hooks
will cost at least rs per. cent. more than
they did the last time Willie went fish
ing and there may be still greater ad-
vances. The reason for this is the scare
ity Of material. dealers say. and also
the fact that numerous sizes and brands
Of hooks are made in England and Nor
way. Importation has almost stopped
and some sizes Of fish hooks cannot be
obtained at any price. So far as has
been ascertained there has been no up-
ward movement IN thu financial ratings
OF bent pins for fishing purposes.

7 DEX TER
Bad Coasting Accident Takes
Place Late Tuesday-Rev. Mr..
Sauer Leaves So0n-Dexter
People Closely Conform with
Liquor Laws

A bad coasting accident, the first of
the winter in this town, occurred late
Tuesday evening when big double
runner with six or seven young men
and women as passengers became I'M
manageable on Main street and over
turned. Ambrose Givens, who was
steering the outfit, struck the ice and
was rendered unconscious. He was re-
moved to the office of Dr. Wilbur A.
Bumps where rcstoratives were adj
ministered. The young man suffered a
badly sprained arm in addition to
some bad bruises.
Rev. George c. Sauer, who has re-
Gently accepted IL. call to the pastorate
of the First Baptist church has rented
an apartment in the house on upper
Main street owned by Miss Sarah Roll
Inns. Mrs. Sauer will arrive here this
week when they will go to housekeep-
ing. Rev. Rinaldo l.. Olds, formerly
pastor of the church, will occupy the
parsonage on Free street for the bal
ance of the winter.
1t is apparent that Dexter people
who desire liquors have reached the
conclusion that it is useless to try to
get their supplies past the present
blockade. No packages or boxes have
arrived by express or freight for sew
erai days. 1t is apparent that the town
is 'drier". than at any other time in
years and the majority of the citizens
arc hoping that the present state of at
fairs as regards the liquor traffic will
continue
At the meeting of the Woman's Lit
erary Club Wednesday afternoon Mrs.
Fannie Damon conducted a parlia-
mentary drill. Many members of the
club with guests were present to enjoy
the interesting and helpful demonstra-
ton of parliamentary law. After the
program a social hour with refresh
ments was enjoyed. The committee in
charge consisted of Mrs Flora Gordon,
Mrs. Grace Brewster. Mrs. Grace L.

that day to meet together and render
their sincere thanks to the great ruler
of nations for the manifold and signal
mercies which distinguish our lot as
a nation, particularly for the posses

which unite and by their union estab

eas0n for All to
Magnify Blessings
and Forget Crosses

Z Y re CELEBRATE that great
NM holiday, Thanksgiving, at
y " 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 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 blessing It is the blessings we
should itemize and magnify and for
get the crosses. We may sigh dis
contentedly and say, ''IVell, last year I
had many more reasons to be thank
full than I 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. whats the use?" they
say dejectedly. Everything I try to
do turns out a failure" There is a
tiny breath OF selfshness here. "I'' 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 a case on record showing
where failure has followed 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-
rfenced a wonderful happiness herself.

Be Thankful Every DaY.

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 silent thanksgiv-
ing to God we take conscious posses
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.

The daddy of the family had once been
a school friend of the farmer, but he
had gone to the city to live, and he
had had a very hard time. He. too
had four children, but their faces were
pale, and often, often they had not
quite as much to eat as they needed.
My father turkey was sent to this fam
lily" The turkey paused, gobbled three
times, then began to talk again.
"Ah, when my father arrived, there
was such joy The four children
looked at the feet peeking out of the
box, and there We're some feathers left
on his handsome legs and around his
neck. He has fur boots they shout
ed, and a fur collar. Oh, what a rich
bird he must have been! Isn't he too
rich to eatY
'They called him a rich bird-they
didn't know he was still greater than
rich bird-One of the turkeys of the
great Thanksgiving day. But their
daddy told them how Mr.. Turkey had
come from the country, and that he
would be cooked and would be eaten
that day for their dinner-as soon as
he was nice and brown and while he
foated in a little pond of gravy!
''Now, wasn't my father the lucky
one? He was used for children who
had never known Thanksgiving din
ner before. And weren't they thank
full? Oh, weren't they happy! Such
a surprise as my father gave them,
such meal as he made for them and
how happy the little pale children were
that there was day in the three hun
dred and siXty-ffve set aside for
Thanksgiving-an for turkeys!
while you creatures in the barn
yard got so many of the goodies left
from the Thanksgiving table, so did

my father-such bones as he had new
er before tasted. Even Dan knew the
meaning Of the day."
