to a greater depth than is reached in
blowing. In like manner several one
pint samples should be collected over
the, field and then all the samples

brands used to own the Martin Walk
er farm, but sold it and invested in a
bank at Tonica and lost most Of thcil,

extend their heartfelt sympathy to the

had word that their son has received Il
captains commission. Congratulate

What might have been tragedy
happened early Saturday morning in
our little town, when George Hill had
an irrational spell and tried to kill
his wife. Mr.. Hill is considered one
|of the kindest of men normally, but
lately he has had several strange spells
and his mind has been affected at in
tervals. Saturday morning he started
to build fire and was breaking coal
with hammer when a spell came over
him and he went into the bedroom
and attacked his wife with the ham
mer, striking her in the head with it
several times. She finally got away
from him and lie was taken to the
county seat for trial. Although Mrs.
Hill had been attacked, she pleaded
with the officers not to take her hus-
band for she realized that lie was not
well, but it was deemed safer to have
him examined. Marshals Millsap and
Blodgett took Mr.. Hill to Webster City
on the 10 O'Clock train and he went
without any trouble, seeming not to
realize what he had done. Mrs. Hill
fortunately was not badly injured.
DR.. Heating is moving into the Mary
Maltby home. The doctor is expecting
his wife soon and is getting the house
ready for her and their little son.
f. Merritt of Des Moines was in
town on his way home Saturday. Mr..
Merritt has been organizing for the
non partisan league in Hardin county.
Ten farmers have come into the hospi-
tai in the last few days and given their

THANKSGIVING DAY IN PARIS
How American ExiIes Celebrated Be-
fore the Great War Changed Con-
ditions Over There.

Have you any idea of what is the
Thanksgiving of the American resident
of Paris? Let me tell you. We have
turkey with cranberry sauce. The tur-
KEY is stuffed with things which only
the French tongues can define, and the
cranberry sauce is usually bought in a
can, ready-made, from an English fac
tory. Still, it is real turkey, and the
sauce is red, with real cranberry skins
in it, so that we complain not We are
even glad that we are commonly all
widows and orphans-tempOrarily-
who assemble to eat the Thanksgiving
dinner at home. Our husbands and the
fathers of our children are wont to
grace the dinner given by the Ameri-

seaboard has proved the greatest sue
cess in government the world has ever
known. Democracy sits at the tables
of the land today. Brotherhood asks
its helping from the amply filled
boards of the American home. These
two attributes of the American people
fully express the secret of Americas
success as a nation. The growth of
the nation has been in accord with the
extension of these ideas. They are
both home ideas, and therefore they
are both ideas that express the inner
spirit of the day of thanksgiving.
The fatherhoOd of God and the
brotherhood of man-these were the
leading conceptions of the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs. They are the leading concep-
tons of the sons of those fathers to-
day. They are the conceptions that
can never be made hackneyed by hypo-
critical use or by designing abuse.
They will stand forth in the genius
and action of the American people I'M
til each year shall add praise to praise
in the measure of the fullness of rea-
sons for the giving of thanks.
Peace, provision, protection these
are the priced possessions of a ma
ton whose one aim is to exalt the
ends of human liberty, to extend HUI
man democracy and to exalt the ideals
of human equality. AS this nation
touches the world at large it does so
through it's leading national concep-
tons, and only when these are vitality
assailed can it take up arms for it's
own defense. 1t has the obligation
resting upon it to conserve the true
needs of liberty, and this can be done
only by insisting upon the sacredness
of human rights and human opportu-
mites. Hence the day set aside for
thanks is a day of pure and unadul-
terated Americanism, into which no
alien sentiment can possibly enter.
Hence it is that every head of the
family in acting in his capacity at
the head of the family board becomes
the priest of the things made precious
in the life of the country and of which
mention is made as Thanksgiving
themes of the day. No more can the
nation depart from its lofty mission
and progressive ideals than can the
earth swing away from the solar at
traction. The day of home happiness,
the day of praise, the day of felicity
is sacred and singular day in the
annals of American progress and Amer
lean world influence.

k,sfHHs in its orderly movements
NAEy and sees the mind of the Al
mighty in the fixed blessings
y of existence can doubt that
IN out from the cataclysms OF
the world war the choice of blessing
or cursing will work out in the victory
o. the good? The old cry, Hath God
forgotten to be gracious?" needs no
longer be voiced. God has not forgot
ten to be gracious. So that, as the
Americans assemble in their churcnes
on the day set apart for expressing ma
tional gratitude, they will rejoice
above all else that the nation OF tree
men has adopted as its motto: Whom
the Lord makes free is free indeed.
Let them rejoice that America is bent
upon proclaiming liberty to the entlre
bounds of the earth. The curse OF au-
tocracy, the curse of blaSphemous
assumption that God is on the side of
the strongest battalions, the curse OF
debauchery of human ideals and hu-
man aspirations, the curse of the es-
tablishment of force in the place OF
purity; of power in the place of peace
this is the cursing that is being
wiped out in blood. The blessing OF
world peace and the prevalence of the
spirit of brotherhood and of mutual
advancement for the peoples-such is
the peace that is being wrought out
The United States has placed its all
ON the altar, realizing that sacrihce
Is the noblest virtue of a nation.
Hence, while exuberance may not
abound, the spirit of thanksgiving is
filled with praise over the mighty
