mot mindful OF the growing years
OF care and loss and pain,
My eyes are wet with thankful tears
For blessings which remain"
John G. Whittier.
Next Thursday, Nov. 2S, is Thanks
giving. President Wilson repeats tn
custom Of his predecessors, as doe
Governor Cats, in asking American
to assemble in church on that da,
and give thanks for life and its man
fold blessings.
AS people we have much to b,
thankful for. We live in an age am
country where every man is the ar
chitect of his own fortune, faith, opin
ion and belief. We have choice o.
any church or not, and school doors
swing free to any child. The laws
give us great privileges of action. We
have thousand advantages not
known to the past. If we are lazy
shiftless, Indifferent and criminal in
duties to ourselves and to others and
suffer thereby the fault is largely per-
sonal.
Yes, there has been war in Europe,
the most terrible in all known time,
with profound sorrow in myriads Of
desolate homes, but the peace of a
hundred years will follow, and let Us
be thankful.
Some may say that things are go
ing wrong in political, commercial
and religious life, and in a genera!
way that we have fallen upon evil
days. The very same things were
said in the past. We only need TO look
back and read that universal suffer-
ing and tragedy was the rule in the
old days.
We live in good days, the best
known in the long history of the hui
man race, and yet there are many
who worry and fret and grumble.
Much of our own discomfort and un
happiness is unnecessary. There are
SO many sources of comfort and pleas
ure that are passed by without
thought or concern. A story is told
of man who was out with his little
son one evening as the sun was 60
ing down. The whole western sky
was a blaze Of golden light. The ia
ther was busy with some matter in
hand, when he was interrupted, by the
little fellow, who said:
Papa, is that our sum-" The lads
ace was aglow with the pleasure of
he sight. He hesitated moment
md then replied: Eyes, my boy, that's !

FOREIGN GROUPS HELPED
FOOD CONSERVATION WORK

In some parts of the country, Amer
lcanization seems to be going hand il
ifand with food conservation. An Ital
ian padre was one of the most active
helpers in the work recently done IL
Springfield, Mass. His interest was
aroused by the skill shown by the
home demonstration agent in can.
ming mushrooms. One day the priest
whose name is Father Della porta
appeared at the demonstration station
with a bushel of mushrooms which he
desired the agent to can for him. A
second bushel he carried home to his
Italian housekeeper, with instructions
that they should be put up according
to her ordinary method. AS It han,
pened, the housekeeper's mushrooms
were all spoiled, while the demonstra
tors kept perfectly. This was enough
to make Father Della Porta a jealous
supporter of the Food Administration
and the demonstration agent.
Imbued with desire to help her, he
hrst organized the girls Of the parish
into a canning club which met regu
larly to study food substitution
Through the girls, the interest of the
mothers was aroused. He then ar
ranged for the translation and print,
ing in Italian Of all the dietetic infor-
nation given out by the club leader
Later he instituted a Victory Bread
Shop which became headquarters for
the dissemination of information az
well as for the sale of Victory breads.
This is one of the ways in which
spirit is being infused
into our foreign-born citizens, at the
same time that they are helping in
war work. Experiences similar to
that of the Springfield agent were met
by scores of other demonstrators
throughout the country.

"A WATER SLIDE,

A vote of more than twelve affir-

The unanimity of opinion among
the citizens of Twin Falls in favor of
a new water system according to the
plans presented by the board of may

made more evident than was the case
yesterday. In fact there was not
enough opposition to start a fight and
thereby call out vote. 1t is perfect
ly evident that the proportion OF
votes for" to those against" would
not have been materially changed had
there been three thousand votes cast
instead of six hundred. And the re-

most flattering to its membership and

MARY GARDEN TELLS SECRET
OF GETTING FIGURE LIKE HERS

Mary Garden has brought the War
Figure to New York And to Ameri-

ment for food conservation than any
thing yet put out by Mr.. Hoover
All last summer Miss Garden had
tarried in Paris, singing for the sol
diers and getting thin for her debut
in the movies, under the direction of
the Goldwyn Pictures Corporation.
How generously she has given her
self to war relief is evidenced by her
two medals-the Red Cross of Serbia
and the French Wreath of Public De-
votion. How superbly she has per-
formed the second of her self-select-
ed tasks I saw for myself when ]
met her at the Ritz-Carlton six hours
after her arrival in New York
She says that she weighed 121
pounds, as against her weight of $50
pounds in 1911. She is not more than
feet 5 inches In height Yet, be-
cause Of her slenderness, she seemed
really tall as she swept into her re-
ception room with its charming set
ting of white lilies and long stalks OF
gl:diolus.

Naming the Chldren's
Faults
By VINCY PRESTON LOOPS

Like all normal youngsters, my children
developed various unpleasant habits as they
added on the years. For some time it puzzled
these. One day found the solution.
While reading to the children story about
Indians / noticed that their attention was par
ticularly attracted to the curious and interest
ing names used in the story. The Riddles
asked many questions about Indian names and
I told them that these were given to fit the
character of the person bearing, the name.
Also l told them Of several such names | had
heard aside from the story just read.
Then it occurred to me to illustrate by Civ
ing them names that fitted their pecularities:
David-can t-hustle, Little girl-who- loses her
Clothes Charlie forgets- t o. wash his face ETC.
The idea amusing to them that they
began to call each other by the new names,
and in day two found that the particular
faults suggested by them had almost vanished
from daily Soon they wanted different
names, for they said, 'Mother we don't do
that any more" l promptly bestowed others
as apt as the first set.
The custom has become quite family rite
and it has done more to eradicate the small
faults than all the ways we had previously
tried Then, too, it is skilfu way of com
promising with many faults while we are de-
Gliding whether they the outward visible
signs of passing whim or of deep-seated
depravity!
1t has the advantage of not hurting any
ones feelings, and it saves the endless talking
which usually seems necessary on the mother 8
part.
