Ike Americans have always acted when under

They have fought hard and effectively.
From the heroic efforts of the American en-

PATRIOTISM OF FARMERS,

The patriotism of soil-tilIers can no longer be
called into question.
IN many OF the northern states it would be
more profitable to raise corn rye and other cereals
not wheat But because of the insistent calls Of
the national government to raise wheat thousands
OF farmers are deliberately foregoing the large
profits Of the other crops and in their stead are
raising wheat.
Ot course, our farmers are getting better
price for wheat than they got for this cereal in
recent years but this does not erase the fact that
they could make more by raising some other crop
Don't throw bricks at the soil-tiers--thev are
as patriotic as the most patriotic-and nore 90

THE WAR REVIEWED.
It's Various Stages Pointed Out by Rev.
+. Nj. kirkus.

Comprehensive summary of the war
| with the part America has played in the
world-struggle for democracy was made
by Rev. Frederick NJ kirkus, rector of
Trinity Church. yesterday in his Thanks
giving sermon, Thanksgiving for Victory
and Peace extracts from which follow
What a wonderful year we have
passed through since last Thanksgiving
Day' Then We were just getting into
harness for our part in the great war.
Our men had hardly begun to cross over
The plans of the government were in n
chaotic stage. No one could look clearly
ahead, and accurately estimate how and
when they were To be carried out.
Scarcely eight months have passed
since the Secretary of War was accused
of gross cxaggcration when he predicted
that 10000 fighting men would be
transported to France by the end of the
year. Tho large plans contemplated by
the government have, for the most part,
been much more than fulfilled
And So the first thing we ought to
give thanks for today is the fact that We
were In the war. Four years ago today
President Wilson called upon us to give
thanks because while distracted Europe
rings with war, we still remain at peace,
with honor \ wear later We were called
upon to give thanks for another wear of
peace; but already mutitudcs Of Ameri
cans felt we could no longer use the cx-
preston, peace with honor
"A year later our President had been
reelected on tho slogan which TO mvt thin k

years had dragged YEARLY on, until ut
last the inSolencc OF Gerrnanv and the
indubitablc evidence Of her plots against
our peace literally forced us into the
conflict
How can we be too grateful that at
last our eyes were opened TO the duty
confronting us, and that we took our
place by the side Of cur allies in the great
est conflict of hls Dry? For not only
was it our privilege to ave share IN
the struggle, but we had the inestimahle
honor Of turning the scale for victory.
They added Just that weight to the forces
of their brave allies which enabled them
to stem the enemies advance, to turn the
tide, TO force the retreat to compel the
ultimate surrender
