a
pagan holiday, and that
those who do render thanks
q will do so not as a heather
G-SRNJ philosopher, boasting that he
is not as other men, but in greater hui
mility because he has perhaps been
more greatly blessed than others.
Outside Of the many material bless
ings that have come to the American
people during the past year, which are
good in so much as they contribute to
wholesome human happiness, there is
reason for the people of this country
upon this Thanksgiving day to be un-
usually thoughtful concerning their
place in the world, and to remember
how this eminence has been obtained.
Who can look back and not see the
band of Providence shaping the des-
tiny of America? This liberty which
is the marvel and the hope of the
world today was set up on these shores
by Godfearing men-the pioneers who
inaugurated this very Thanksgiving
holiday. 1t was for the love of the
service % UOu IlldI llDeIly WAS cSldD-
lished in America, and it was this lib
erty that has been the basis of our ma
tional greatness and which is to be
the political salvation of the world.
America cannot look back upon its
history without seeing God, and by
taking thought cannot fail to acknowl-
edge it's gratitude for all his benefits.
With that stage of our development
passed we are now permitted to enter
upon that new era when America par
ticipates in abolishing tyranny and in
justice, ever hateful to God, and to
carry to the oppressed nations of the
world those principles of liberty
through which our own chief blessings
have come.
This is the supreme service that one
nation can render to another-to safe
guard the liberties of it's people. In
this momentous time the burden Of our
Thanksgiving this year it seems should
be that we are to be chief among the
ministers in working ont the Divine
purpose to have all mea-Greek and
Barbarian-free.

Burning fence rows or grass around
the border of infested grain fields is
recommended as fall practice to de-
stroy chinch bugs. A slow, steady
flame, famed by slight breeze, re-
suits in the killing of from so to 80 per
cent of the alternating insects; it also
greatly reduces the number that would
survive the winter and move to the
wheat fields in the spring.

See Through Deception.
The Germans attempted TO deceive
the Americans by appearing in front
OF the trenches and speaking French
and English and also yelling gas"
The deception, however, was soon
discovered and cost the enemy dearly.
The American casualties were COM
paratively slight.
Numerous stories Of individual brav-
cry poured into headquarters today.
A young Italian, born in a Pennsytva-
MIA coal mining town, killed one Ger
man and captured three. He saw 8
Germans walking in a communication
trench ahead Of him, and although
alone he shot and killed one, ran af-
ter the others, capturing two, and
