Hen Thanksgiving
Day Came About

We learn it all in history,
You didn't think l knew;
Why. don't you suppose study
My lessons? Course I do.
The Pilgrim Fathers did it. q
They made Thanksgiving day.
Why? Oh, l don't remember,
The history doesn't say.
Or p'rhaps, l wasn't listening,
When she was telling why,
But if the Pilgrim mothers
Were busy making pies
I s'pose they couldn't bother,
And SO that was the why,
1t happened that the Fathers
Made our Thanksgiving day.

Good Morning

Good morning brother sunshine,
Good morning sister song;
I beg your humble pardon,
If you've waited very long,
l thought l heard you rapping,
To shut you out were sin
My heart is standing open,
Won't you walk right in?
Good morning brother gladness,
Good morning sister smile;
They told me you were coming,
So I waited while.
I'm lonesome here without you,
A weary while it's been
My heart is standing open.
Won't you walk right in?
Good morning brother kindness,
Good morning sister cheer,
l heard you were calling,
So l waited for you here.
Some way kept forgetting,
I have to toll and spin
When you are my companions,
Won't you walk right in?

WHAT DO WE PLANT?

What do we plant when we plant
the tree?
A thousand things that we daily
see;
We plant the spire that out-towers
the crag,
We plant the staff for our coun-
try's flag.
We plant the shade from the hot
sun free:
We want all these when we plant a
tree.

OCTOBER GREETINGS

Leaves all green and gold and
brown,
Softly, slowly, fluttering down;
Skies as blue as baby's eyes.
When they open with surprise;
Golden rod whispering bends
Where the lazy river wends
Over all drowsy haze,
These dear Indian summer days.

There was once q king OF Prus.

to ask him three questions. usual
Iy in the same order. He would
ask, How old are you, my man."
Then he would ask, "How long
have you been in my service:"
Last of all he would ask, "Are you
quite satisfied with your food and
quarters?"
A Frenchman who knew no

the regiment. His officer said to
him, when the king asks you how
old you are. you must say. thirty
years! When he asks you how
long you have been in the service.
you must say three weeks and
when he asks is you satisfied with
your food and quarters, you must
say, both.
The FrenchmAn learned to say
these three sentences in, German,
just as a parrot would say them,
without understanding thu Qves

One day the king came and
beckoned to him and said. l

Jack IN the Pulpit

Jack In the pulpit,
breaches today,
Under the green trees
Just over the way.
Squirrel and song-sparrow,
High on their perch.
Hear the sweet lily.bells
Ringing to church.
Come hear what his reverence
Rises to say.
In his low, painted pulpit
This calm. Sabbath day.
Meek-faced anem ones,
Dropping and sad,
Great yellow violets
Smiling out glad;
Beaming and bright,
Clovers with bonnets,
Some red and some white:
Daisies, their white fingers
Half-clasped in prayer;
Dandelions, proud OF
The gold of their hair;
Innocents, children
Guileless and frail,
Meek little faces
Up.turned and pale;
Wild wood geraniumns,
All in their best,
Languidly leaning,
In purple cause dressed.
All arc assembled
This sweet Sabbath day,
To hear what the priest
In his pulpit will say.
So much for the preacher;
The sermon comes next
Shall we tell how he breaches it
And where's his text?
Alas! like too many
Grown folks who play,
At worship in churches
Man-builded today
We heard not the preacher
Expound or discuss;
But we looked at the people,
And they looked at US.
We all saw their dresses
Their colors and shapes;
The trim of their bonnets,
The cut of their capes.
We heard the wind organ
The bee and the bird,
But Jack in the Pulpit
We heard not word.

THE DAISIES

THE DAISIES
The dear little daisies,
The little white praises!
They grow and they blow
And they spread out their crown,
And they praise the sun.
And when he goes down.
Their praising is done;
And they fold up their crown.
And they sleep, every one.
When over the plain
He's shining amain,
They're at it again
Such low songs raising
That no one hears them
But the sun who rears them.

DON'T SELL COTTON Til.
YOU GET FAIR PRICE,

Columbia, s. C.'August 6--The fol-
lowing statement was issued today by
Mr.. j. S. Wannamaker, President OF
the American Cotton Association:
The bears in their desperation to
release themselves from the trap in
which they have been caught have
stopped to every known device.
When Philip Of Macedon was told
that certain city was impregenable
he asked, "is there not pathway to
1t wide enough for an ass laden with
gold?"
Following the suggestion of the an
cient Philip of Macedon, they hailed
with joy deliverer. Great publicity
was given to a statement made by
an Englishman concerning the finan-
cial condition. A mighty effort was
made to cause a stampede in the
market by breaking the foreign ex-
change. 1t was felt sure that this
would result in such a scare that
The bulls would tumble their cot
: ton upon the market and thus bring
about crash This effort on their
part Gid not succeed in depressing
prices; the expected crash did not
come. People are posted: they rea-
lie that we are safe and sound fin
ancially today. The bulls are not dis
couraged by the friendship of great
men of wealth for the beers. They
realize that no matter how thew do it
the foreign consumers of cotton will
have to get money to pay for their
raw material, and they will have to
have the raw material
DO not become panc-str;cien. In
all probability the bears may succeed
in driving prices some lower tenn
porarily. They will make a desper-
ate effort TO do this on TIE govern
ment report. Do not be misled; es-
Inmates do not make spfnnatle cotton
nor can they spin paper cotton. 1t
takes the actual hcecy staple, a hand
some product made by the toll of the
producer
Our experts show that the growing
cotton crop is poorly fruited; has dis
eased root system; boil weev:l. damage
is the heaviest on record; labor condi-
tons are extremely short and acute
and labor is very high.
Our experts show further that this
will be the most costly cotton crop
ever produced in the South 1t will
exceed the cost of production of last
years crop by ut least one third.
The spinncrs have made an enor-
nous profit. We want at least
division. Hold your cotton and we
will get it.
One large bear recently told tr
truth when he stated the d--fool pro-
ducers are extremely hard to salts
fy and terribly hard to scare.
Keep this in mind and make him
and his friends pay you profitable
price for the product of your toll.

Burning hydrochloric acid devel-

leads to gastritis accompanied by
dangerous stomach ulcers. Don't

the stomach into the intestines. The
acid, which caused the trouble, re-
mains in your stomach as dangerous
Instead, neutralize or sweeten your
acid stomach after meals with a
