WHY BE THANKFULLY

In casting about for reasons for feel
ing of thankfulness at this time, many
individuals will no doubt carry upper
most in their minds consciousness Of
some great disappointment or loss and,
therefore, they will be apt to feel that
they have no cause for thanksgiving But
If they will stop to look out on the
broader aspect of life, toward something
beyond their own narrow circle and yet
which affects them very vitality, they
will find plenty of reason for giving the
most fervent thanks tomorrow, and, in
fact, all the time.
That reason may be summed UP in the
triumph Of right over might in the great
est conflict of arms the world has ever
known, There had been developed tre-
mendously powerful autocracy, whose
ambition was to crush freedom under its
heel, and SO, drawing three satellites to
itself, it proceeded to wage warfare
against nations which represented most
nearly the triumph Of democracy and
untrammeled national existence. So well
prepared was this autocracy, so ruthless
~ did it wage warfare, that it almost
seemed at times as if the right must de.
SPAR Of staying the giant. Millions after
millions of the best blood Of the freedom
loving nations were poured into the mael.
strom, and then the great and powerful
United States cast her strength in favor
Of right and international justice. Even
then the balances swung only slowly in

The case illustrates how large place in

how much we miss them when deprived
of them. If you don't believe it, get out
into the far woods some time when YOU

Oddly enough, Germany seeks to de.

and yet desires an early meeting of the

the latter would depend considerably on

pledges.

PRICE OF CANNED
GOODS WILL BE OUT OF
SIGHT COMING YEAR

There are two very good reasons
why housewives should can all they
can this summer
Number one is because factory can
ned goods are going to be hard to
buy. The Government is frowning
IN canning factories because the gov
eminent needs all the tin that it can
get in war work
The second very good reason is be-
cause canned goods are likely to be
so high in price this winter that few
people will be able to afford them.
There is no question about IT,"
said a prominent grocer, "The gov
ern-ment is already establishing the
prices and they are going to be near
the top. From all indication 1t will
be impossible to buy can Of toma-
toes, large sizes, for less than rs
cents, This is the same size that
sold for ten cents a can a few years
since.
Gained peas will also sell about
the same price, twenty-five cents
each. Canned corn will probably sell
for twenty cents. Other canned
goods will sell around the same pro
portion"
Dried vegetables will be equally
high is the belief. Canned peas
which were SO cheap a few years
since, that people eyed them witt
dislain, now cost around fourteen
cents pound.
If you have not already canned, de
your canning now.

racy that the world ever saw.
The materialistic mind may say
that all this is a mere juggling with
figures, but to many it would seem
that these strange combinations of
figures connecting prophecy with his
tory and men and dates, too striking
to be accidental, would seem to indi-
cate that the Christian Democracy is
to overthrow the Autocratic Beast
in the present year. May God grant
it may be so.
