AND OUR chill.
DREN.

Under this caption the following
excerpts from Congressman on chill
dren are illuminating. The Florida
State Board of Health desires to bring
such interesting things home to. the
people:
IF we are sending out men to in
struct the people how to raise hogs
and how to take care of pigs, are we
going any further when we send them
out to instruct people how to take
care of children and to take care of
those questions that arise out of ma
ternity? The babies and the children
of this country are somewhat more
valuable as an asset than are it's pigs
and hogs. Senator Kenyon, of Iowa.
ut is only recently that children
have come to be regarded as nation
al asset, instead of burden. A
healthy, strong, promising child is an
asset; a puny, weak, sickly child is a
burden to the community, if not to
its parents; and anything we can do
to direct the best thought of nation
toward the children's movement will
be attention well bestowed" d."-Senator
Hollis. Of New Hampshire.
"Militarists tell US that the first
line of defense of country is in the
navy and that the second line is in it's
coastline Notifications and that it's
third line of defense is in the army.
| deny that. The first line of defense
/ of this or any other country is the
children of the country, and if by any
appropriation or any amount of mon
ey there can be built up in this coun-
try strong, active fighting race of
men and women who are able to take
care of themselves that money, in my
judgment, will be well and economi-
cally expended. ."-Congressman Cox,
of Indiana.

BOW THE LEADER ADVERTISES
TARPON SPRINGS.

We think we may be pardoned for
calling attention to the general ap-
pearance and reading matter in to-
days Leader. Any daily paper, be it
ever so small and limited in its scope,
IN small town like ours, is an asset
80 be considered.
An eight-page daily, carrying press
news, full of local happenings and
loaded with advertising, is the biggest
advertisement town can have. The
very fact that city the size of Tar
pom Springs supports this kind of a
paper is proof sufficient of the towns
prosperity. Today's Leader in the
hands of a northern capitalist looking
for place for investment will dc
more to bring him here than any 9TH
aer form of printed advertisement
Look over The Leader today and ther
send it to a friend in the north anc
ask him to send US his name and sub.
scription.
We9 are working to build up the
town. We are broad enough to trans
act business along business lines. Il
you know good thing when you see
it, Mr.. business man, you will ac.
knowledge The Leader as one of the
city's assets. 1t is, and you know it
You know, too, that it is the best ad.
vertising medium you can get. Now
then, laying aside everything that
might interfere with success, adopt
sound business principles and adver.
tise in the best way you can for the
interest of your business.

Special Reasons Why Every American
Should Be Grateful at This Season

Belgium, Serbia, Roumania and parts
of France and Italy.
Be thankful that we are far enough
from the scene of strife to miss most
of lite horrors, but near enough to take
an active and deciding part in the
struggle; that our farms and facto.
ries, mines and marts are spared to
produce the supplies so urgently
needed by our allies.
Be thankful that we have an army
and navy composed of the best ma,
terial in the land; our bravest sons
sent forth to fight for the worlds
freedom, as their great-grandfather
fought for our freedom.
Be thankful that we were not afraid
or dismayed when the summons came
but stepped forward, prepared to bear
mans part in the struggle and tC
help slay the beast that threatens the
liberties of the world.
Be thankful that when this war is
over and the victory won, the issues
settled, there will be no more war;
for the so-called divine right of kings
and emperors-the right to exercise
despotic sway over their subjects
will be no more.

ALL TO CLOSE THANKSGIVING

On another page in today's Leader
there is a notice stating that all stores
operated by the Retail Food Dealers
association will remain closed all day
Thanksgiving.
This Thanksgiving is one of unusual
significance to the civilized peoples Of
the earth and it is beftting that ALL
who are truly thankful that peace has
been given to the civilized nations
join in this great day to give thanks
to Him who doeth all things well.
We trust that not one in Tarpon
Springs will fail to close their places
of business, showing By their actions
that they are not after dollars above
all other things, but are in spirit
with the civilized peoples of the
world on this, the greatest Thanks
giving day in the worlds history.
The Leader will not issue Thanks
giving Day.

i've, people for blessings received.

tive people for blessings received.
The question may be asked by some
thoughtless soul today-what have
we, here in our beautiful little city of
Tarpon Springs, to be thankful for
now? We are poor, many of US, in
point of this worlds goods. We toll
patiently day by day for a pittance
We have just experienced the terrors
of storm and the horror of pestilence.
What have we to be thankful for?
All, how prone some hearts are to
forget. How oft we overlook the good
in life and brood DER the dark. While
devastated France, hapless Belgium
lie bleeding and torn, we are yet sur
rounded with friends, homes and
plenty.
But to my mind the one great un-
measurable cause for thanksgiving to-
day is the end of the war, the return
of our boys in the near future.
Tarpon Springs gave about 200 of
her best manhood, to go, perhaps new
er to return, to lay their lives on the
shrine of liberty at the feet of justice.
Each one of these manly boys, as they
marched away, looked on home and
loved ones as what he ne'er might see
again. They have made their offer,
they have passed through storm and
fire and now they are coming back.
Don't you think we have much to be
thankful for?-more than ever be-
fore?
Yes, we have. And today as the time
draws nigh, that day which custom
has set and proclamation reiterated
as a day of thanksgiving, let us ali,
here in this beautiful little city, where
nature smiles in beauty and song, re-
new our hearts and draw nigh the
heavenly throne while we thank
beneticent God for Fastening the re-
turn of our boys.

time to come. Be thankful that
through the blood and suffering Of
three years terrible warfare the is
sues at last stand out sharply, and
that we are fighting on the side of
right and against might; for democ-
racy and against autocracy and mill
tary despotism.
! Be thankful that our great nation
has the strength and vigor, the spirit
and stamina, the men and resources
to throw into the balance at the criti-
cal time, thereby insuring victory for
justice and humanity.
! Be thankful that the United States
will sit at the Peace Council, when
the time is ripe, defending the rights
of the small nations and peoples, in
sisting upon a square deal for all.
! Be thankful that our land has not
been invaded, our people murdered,
orr cities laid waste, as have those Of

after four years of war such huge
quantities could be boarded. There
was meat and game in cold storage,
salted provisions in large cases, white
meal in sacks piled TO the roof, thous-
ands of eggs, gigantic boxes filled
with tea, coffee, chocolate, lard, jelly
and jam; hundred of sugar loaves and
endless stacks of peas, beans, dried
fruits and biscuits. Their value

We Are Thankful
By HI. L. Whitney.

Our fathers God from whom all blessings flow,
Our heads we bow, hearts yield in praise
For all thy goodness to here below,
For thy great mercy close following all our ways
We thank thee for creation. For thy Son.
For the great sacrifice he made
We thank thee for the glories he had won
When in the tomb in death his form was laid
We thank thee for fair destiny's fair star
That led the weary pilgrims their way.
We thank thee for the who bEaved the war
When royalty would fan have held her sway.
We thank thee Lord for this great ship of state
Whose keel laid mid cannon's blaze and roar,
Whose tbers strong, all bound with steel and plate,
Have weathered all the storms and strife of
And now, oh God consecrate
Our lives our hearts, our substance and our all,
And thank thee that thou gav'st us sons to do
And answer with their lives their countrys call.
And while some hearts far over seas have bled,
Have answered to the final call above,
We hear the coming homeward tread
Of gave countrys call in love.
This day of all the days of gladstone earth
When wars hard, devastating hand
Has ceased to work destruction on the earth
And again peace reigns from sea to land
For sons returned to join their homes again,
For earth's bright dream, second birth,
For vndcated justice freedoms reign
With friendship, love and mercy on the throne,
At peace once more our hearts filled with joys
We thank fathers God whose love alone
Hath given us again our KHAKI BOYS.
