A FINE PROSPECT.

I'VE are expecting great things for our city during

and factories and live in rooming houses instead

This group Of business men has learned something
They have learned how to get together to work to-

good Of all They learned this lesson during the
war by putting across successful Liberty loan
paigns and by uniting a city War Chest fund
The interesting part all is that these con

things been going somewhat amiss are goins

Are not there a good many other communities the

war? have the boys who went across the sea
to fight learned much the thing?

THANKSGIVING DAY - WHAT
DOES 1T MEAN?

THANKSGIVING DAY - WHAT
DOES 1T MEAN?
Thanksgiving day what does at
mean
Listen, and I'll tell YOU what I've
seen.
It's a big roast turkey, mince pie
and cranberry sauce.
And a lot OF nice dishes that run in
the housewives head
To make 1T a complete and dainty
spread
But eating and drinking most times
TO excess
Is not giving thanks, you all will con
fess.
The pleasures that are INDUCED in
for the rest Of the day
Are supposed to drive away dull
care,
But they're not begun or ended by
prayer.
Now for four years or more the
worlds been chastised.
For things unhOly, criminal and un-
wise.
And the Lord has been silent through
il all,
Without whose knowledge not even
a sparrow can fall.
But now He has stayed with His
mighty hand,
And gives peace and victory 10 our
land
Now all should gather at their
churches and pray,
And have a real Thanksgiving day.
We were not in the war as long as
feared,
But by it thousands Of homes are
drenched in tears.
And thousands and thousands for
years will mourn
Our heroes who went forth never to
return.
Now the Lord has stayed with His
mighty hand
And gives peace and victory TO the
land
So now we should gather at our
churches and pray
And have a real Thanksgiving day.

CAN YOU TELL THEM HOW TO
DO TT2

THERE'S nothing easier than TO tell
what YOU would have done under
such and such circumstances. with
the inference that your way o..
Judgment transcends anything which
has been done Yet.
Quite without knowing the whole
story or what has led up to the
course employed YOU have the nerve
60 sit in judgment.
You do not call il nerve. Of course
You think with your opportunities
and experiences YOU are qualified 10
take a hand in international affairs
and YOU don't hesitate TO aire your
superior lights in these or lesser
concerns.
But II the truth were known the
person best able to act as arbiter
is very often the one who is most
chary Of expressing il
Jus. criticism is wholesome.
There is no man so big or so per
feet that he cannot err.
But a just judgment can only
come from a complete knowledge Of
facts
Think what Won have a mind TO-
but before YOU handy words Re sure
you have every detail we'll N hand
and are justified in your assertions
Rash judgment is apt 20 be taken
for what it is worth. and that is not
much.

LOST RACE.
By James j. Montague.

In days gone by when the job of king
Was the envy of all the hoi polloi.
And the eldest lad Of a royal dad
Was always the public's white
haired boy,
In every land there was found chap
Whose face was lond and whose
means were slender,
Who claimed to own the crown and
throne
A surly John they called Pretender,
They usually kept him locked in Jail,
Where he couldn't disturb the
public quiet,
For he'd stir about if he once got QUO
And move the people to brawl ana
riot;
For he always promised to give 'em
jobs
If they all turned to to help re
store him,
And he usually found a crowd
around
Who loudly swore that they all
were for him.
But now, when kings keep their
special trains
Parked on the sidings, steamed
and ready
To leave the place at a breakneck
pace
As soon as conditions get unsteady
When crowns are sold by the half
gross lots
And the highest thrones have no
defenders,
From the Baltic sea TO Sicilee
There are ABSOLUTELY no pre-
tenders

Wheeler Was in
Mexico When the
Trouble Started
Broke Down Completely Under the
ain---Entirely Restored
by Tanlac

Fred E. Wheeler, residing at
4O2 Crawford Street, Houston,
Texas, has been for the past
twelve years construction engi-
neers for the East Coast Oil Co.,
in Mexico. Mr.. Wheeler, being
unaccustomed to the tropical
climate there, went through with
a long painful experience, from
which he declares he has been
entirely relieved by the use of
Tanlac. His interesting state
ment follows:
+ my system wasso full of ma
laria contracted while working
in the Mexican oil fields that |
couldn't hold my own any longer
and just broke down completely.
Nv stomach was in an awful con-
dition, most everything | would
eat soured so that | was constant
ly belching up gas and splitting
up undigested particles OF food,
and then would nearly die with
a splitting headache: | was bad
ly constipated, too, my sleep was
broken and | would get up in the
mornings just as tired and worn
out as [ was when went to bed.
A languii and no account feeling
ooA hold of me and | didn't have
enough life or energy left to dc
a thing.
II nave taken Tanlac before
and knew from experience that
Was the only thing that would
,urely straighten me out and i.
lid not disappoint me, for | was
N the mend before ! had useu
ny first bottle and kept getting
letter every day. ! am now il

fiddle. / think SO much of Tan
lac that ! keep q bottle of the
medicine in my room all the time,
and when return to Mexico ]

arly, for / wouldn't be without
it down there for anything"

"Why should we American
women be shielded and kept
from doing the work that
French and English women
have done?" This is the ques-
ton being asked by Miss Grace
Parker, who was sent to Europe
to investigate wOman's war
work on the other side of the
Atlantic. Miss Parker points
out that one million English
women are making ammunition,
that several hundreds of thou
sands are working on the farm,
that they are performing every
kind of labor needed to build a
battle ship; that ten thousand
are working in France behind
the firing line; that twelve
thousand are acting as motor
drivers; that within ten days of
the declaration of war sixty
thousand nurses were enlisted.
At her meeting in Dallas re-
Gently Miss Parker's question
was applauded vehsmently.
This was to he expected of
Southern womanhood.
There is work into which
the woman. of the Southwest
can throw all those energies
which they would gladly ex-
tend in more arduous and dan
gerous tasks. They can secure
for the Government q huge
over-subscription to the Liberty
Loan. This will send food and
ammunition to our soldiers and
to our Allies. Will build ships,
help to crush Germany and so
achieve the object of every true
American woman. Do the duty
that arises clearly defined be-
fore you, and the same credit
will be due as to the over-alled,
dirt-stained sister on the 9TH
er side. In the army of Democ-
racy some must go lover the
top"-some must engage in the
prosaic work of mule driving
some making ammunition-oth-
ers again must provide the
money. All are necessary. Do
your part and you will share
equally in that glorious tri-
umph which must one day be
ours. Women of the South
west we look to our men to
subscribe the Liberty Loan quo
ia. We look to you to double it.

sNAPPY THOUGHTS
From Liberty Loan Speeches.

Gentlemen, / never made a
speech in my life and 'aint goin'
to now, all / say is-we're in it
LETS win it."
Don't say you got no money.
II you 'aint got none, go borrow
some"
I'VE are going to try William
Hohenzollern for murder in
this Church next Wednesday.
You are. summoned on the jury
and there viii be q heavy PEN
atty IL you do not attend"
"A Chinaman went to one of
our banks last week and said,
Me buy Lib'ly Bond What
you want to buy one for, John
said the Cashier, just to make
conversation. Why no buy p
said John"
There is only one reason
why every man in America
should buy Liberty Bonds
should go in rags to do it,
should starve himself, If neces-
sary to do it. And that
is because it is the right
thing to do. What is the
difference whether Liberty
Bonds pay four and one-quarter
per cent. interest or no interest
at all? It IS the duty of every
American to buy them.
Defeat would mean ruin to
the farmer; it would mean tax
alton to q point which would
mean slavery to German mas
ters."
