THANKSGIVING SERVICE
At THE PRESBYTERIAN
Church Services to Be Held at Seven
O'Clock In the Morning; Full
Attendance Is Urged

Again this year the Presbyterlans
will hold their Thanksgiving service
at seven o'clock in the morning. Ut
all the years in the history of our
country so many reasons never exist
ed for giving thanks as this year.
One year ago our people were pre-
paring for war, today they are pre-
naring for peace. Last year the
slaughter and carnage of battle held
full sway, and today the representa-
tives of the people are arranging
conference to form league of ma
tions which shall forever Danish the
possibility of another great war.
In our own land the harvests have
been bountiful, and no one shall live
in want, and no one shall suffer of
hunger. The Lord has surely blessed
us beyond all the poop les of the
earth.
It is fitting that the whole people
should thus assemble themselves to-
gether, and offer up prayer and
thanksgiving to the Lord of Hosts
who has brought them out of time
of sorrow and danger in the sunshine
of peace and plenty.
1t is urgently desired that a full
and prompt attendance of the con-
gregation be had at seven o'clock on
next Thursday morning, and in add
ton to the service of prayer and
praise, the following service of CIV
ing is asked.
1t is the fixed duty of Gods peo-
pie to care for the motherless and
fatherless children of our land. he
who needs not the orphans cry is no
child of God.
1t is proposed to take the usual
money offering, at this Thanksgiving
morning service, for the Thornwell
Orphanage, and in addition this year
a cereal offering will be taken.
You are asked to bring a pack
age of one of three cereals namely
grits, rice and oatfakes) with you to
the morning service, and after the
service these will be packed and
shipped to the orphans.
After this service it is proposed
that as many of the men of the church
as can possibly do SO, drive in cars
to Euharlee church in Barlow coun-
ty, about miles west of Carriers
Vile, to attend laymens' meeting.
1t is arranged that this meeting
will convene at 10 o'clock and close
at 4 o'clock, dinner being prepared
on the grounds for all. 1t is ex-
pected that all the churches in the
lower part of Cherokee Presbytery,
be represented in this great meeting
by as many laymen as can get there.
1t will be a great gathering, one
that you will long remember, one
that you should not miss.
DIR. Patton has appointed a COM
mittee who will provide room in cars
for all to leave the Church in Mari
eta Immediately after the seven
o'clock service Thursday morning,
and he urges every man who can do
so to be ready to go at that time.
A like meeting will be held at
Lafayette in the upper end of the
Presbytery; let US make the Euharlee
meeting surpass all others.
The committee appointed to ar
range about transportation is c. E.
Daniel, chairman; J. w. Legg, R. M.
Wade, A. V. Cortelyou, and j. Will
der Glover, and DIR. Patton asks all
those who will go to report their
names as soon as possible to some
member of this committee.

THE PICNIC AND WILLY Is. JAY.

Everyone in the woods had been invited
to the picnic but Teddy Bear. Little
Reddy Fox started il and one morning
little Billy Possin, little Jackie Rabbit,
little Tirnmy Coon, little Woody Chuck,
little Billy Squirrel and all the little Frog
met by the pond in the woods for day 8
outing.
''If we ask Teddy Bear" said Reddy
Fox, The will spoil everything: he eats "a
much he would not only cat all he brought
but he would very likely grab everything
else"
So it was agreed that Teddy should
not be invited and should not know Of the
picnic.
But someone told Teddy Bear about
the picnic the night before. II was Willie
Blue Jay. He heard them planning, and
of he flew To tell all he knew to Teddy
Bear
But Teddy Bear decided he would ser
things for himself, and maybe he might
ind a way TO pay them off for not inviting

PLENTYOF MEAT NOW
HOOVER LIFTS BAN
Enough to Ensure Ample Supply
for Allies; Rations Obliterated;
Use Lighter Cuts

Washington, Aug. lO.-Restrictions on
the use of meats were lifted today by the
Food Administration. While the Ameri-
can public Will be asked 10 use lighter
beef. 50 that the heavier cattle may be
exported the regulation forbidding hotels
and other public eating houses TO serve
beef more than once a week are now re-
scinded, and the ration Of one and one
half pounds a week to householders Is
abolished.
The Food Administration believes that
the danger of shortage has now been
averted, and that there are sufficient sup
plies IN prospect for the L nIted States and
the allied nations. 1t asks, however, that
economy be practlced in the consumption
Of beef, as well as Of other foodstuffs, and
that wasteful practices be carefully eliml-
mated
1t was explained today that the ex-
treme drought IN Texas, Oklahoma and
other sections of the Southwest. which
also affects Montana and certain areas in
adjacent States in the Northwest, had
caused cattle run so per cent heavier
than in the corresponding yield last year.
There is ALWAYS a liberal run OF the
lighter cattle at this season of the year,
but the present supply is excessive, a
statement read.
Practically all of the heavier and fatter
cattle are needed for export purposes, for
our own armed forces and those of our
allies, because on account Of their thick
ness and fatty covering they are less sub
ject TO deterioration during the transfer
from cars TO ships and freezers when they
are not protected by refrigeration.
"In resembling regulations which pro-
hibited public eating places from serving
beef more than once a day and IN releasing
the householders from their voluntary
agreement TO curtail purchases to y
pounds a week, including bone, the Food
Administration requests that this freer
use Of beef be restricted so far as practi-
cable TO the cattle which dress under 475
pounds To achieve this, the retail meat
markets are asked to specialize ~ the use
of these lighter cattle and families and
patrons of all public eating places are re-
quested to patriotically accept beef of this
weight, even though they have heretofore
been accustomed 10 using the heavier beef
only.
'FThe desire Of the Food Administration
at present is not primarily 10 increase the
consumption Of beef as a whole, but TO
induce preference in favor Of the lighter
weight cattle Of which We have an alb
normal surplus This will bring about
conservation of the heavier cattle needed
for our soldiers and for export to our
allies At the same time it will afford a
measure Of protection through increased
outlet for cattle raisers in the drought
afflicted areas

When the picnickers went through the
woods the next morning. Teddy Bear was
hiding behind rock and after they were
well on their way he followed Teddy
did not take any luncheon with him. for
if his plan for revenge worked out well. he
knew he would have all the food he want
ei
When Reddy Fox and the Others came
to the pond they began to unpack their
baskets, for they intended 10 eat all the
time they were there THAT il what a
picnic is for. Reddy told them, TO eat all
YOU want all the time
There were sandwiches Of all kinds, z
cold chicken, big ham al covered with
sugar and nice brown looking cakes One
with piums sticking out all over il almost
made Teddy Bear forget he was hiding
and run ont from his hiding place and grab
that cake hut he didn t, for he expected
later 10 have II all
There were pots of Jam and jar Of
honey and big pumpkin pie, that Jimmy
Coon carried all the way 40 il would not
be mashed Woody Chuck had his eve on
that pie as II was placed in the middle Of
the big white cloth that was spread on the
ground right by the shore
Teddy Bear was pleased that they were
50 near the pond, for that helped him very
much In fact, he could not carry out his
plan for vengence If it had been placed
farther away from the pond.
Just as it was all ready and the pic
nickers were just ABOUT 10 sit down around
the feast out from the bushes jumped Ted
dy Bear, and with as plash he went right
into the pool
Teddy Bear was 50 very Zig and heavy
that when he went in the water had to GO
out. and UP il went right over the feast
taking with il most all the food As il flow
ed back
Up jumped all the animals. for they
thought there was a food, and ran. leav-
ing Teddy Bear in the pond with all sorts
OF good things floating around him
The pond was not very deep-that Is
not for Teddy when he stood up and the
plcnickers had TO look on as he reached for
the cake and other good things and ate
them
If We don't do something pretty quick
there wont be anything left, said Reddy
Fox Lets tell him if he will bring the
things up on the bank We will give him
all the honey and Jam. For none OF those
things had fioated into the pond
80 they had to call to Teddy and make
Friends with him. but Teddy Bear ate
most Of the good things. inst as Reddy
Fox had said he would

He Is the biggest tell tale in the woods
We Will pay him back for this SAID
Reddy Let Us tell all the birds In the
woods about him and how he is the one
who robs their nests
When the other birds heard this they
caught Willie Blue Jay and put collar
around his neck and tied him 70 a limb in
a tree to keep him prisoner the rest Of his
life
He was released by his cousin Jimmy
Crow, and was never caught again but
the collar he could never remove and 10

"OUR ALLIES FRENCH. I"

Exchange Professors" of French and
English are likely to become a memory
only, if the rapproachement des peuples
continues under war conditions, and if the
press agent for the Y. W. {. A. Is as well
informed as industrious.
The idea is, that English and reverse
English follow the Y. ". G. A. flag; the
people Americans imparting the tongue
English to 'our brave Trenches" and
viva voce, as one might say.
The Foyers des Allies are Y. W. c. A.
club rooms, corresponding to the hut"
of the Y NJ c. A. and are scattered in
manv cities and towns of France.
French girls feel that when they have
learned the English language they will
have the independence and freedom of
American girls 50 they go to their English
classes despite heat, cold, rain or weari-
ness after long days work, writes a
y. W. c. A. teacher of English from one
Of these clubs.

They are at present in the extraordin-

which should be significant to the women
here: "It is evident that arrests of SUI
