 As President Wilson walked to the train g dozen girls wearing the Amer ican colors streWed petals of roses in
 his path. As the train bearing the president left for London the air planes accompanied it.

Thanksgiving Day.

II there ever was time when the
hearts of all the people of all the
world should we'll up with gratitude
TO God that time is now. After more
than four years of the fiercest war
that the world has ever experienced,
entailing greater property losses anc
more human suffering than almost
all of the previous wars combined,
the world is again at peace-perma-
nent, worldwide peace.
If there be one nation that has
more cause for gratitude than All
other that nation is America. In
stead of four years of business stag
nation, to US the war has, in the
main, been an era Of unprecedented
prosperity. Instead of having to sacri-
fee millions of the lives of our peo-
ple. our casualties or fatalities are
but little more than one hundred
thousand. Instead of losing power
and prestige, this country has risen
to first place among the nations of
the earth.
Surely the Great Giver of all good
and prefect gifts has been good to
us and we should devontly give sin,
cere thanks. 1t seems almost pcoVi,
dental that the great climax should
have been reached just at the season
whel. the nation sets apart one day
for Meditation and thanksgiving. Let
the day be~spent Alright

Conference of Local Focd Ad-
rainistrators Called.

The County Food Administrator
has issued the following call to the
School District Food Administrators
throughout the county, calling con-
ference to be held at Edgefield in the
court house next Monday, December
l, at II o'clock:
The food administrators, from the
executive head of the department in
Washington all down the line to the
rural administrator in each school
district, have had an important part
in winning the war. Had not food
been conserved and supplied to our
Allies in Europe last spring and ear
ly summer, before the American SOL
diers could reach the scene of the
conflict in large numbers, the Ger
mans would probably have enforced
peace at practically their own terms.
Now that the war is over there
are yet great problems to be solved
if we are to do our part in supplying
the hungry and destitute people of
Europe with food. In order to con-
slider food conditions as they now ex-
list, l have called conference of the
local or school district food admins
traitors to be held at Edgefeld in the
court house Monday morning, Decem-
ber /, at II O'clock. You are earnest
ly requested to attend this confer
ence.
Yours very truly,
