THANKSGIVING TIME

The harvests are gathered, the fields
are bare.
The chill of the autumn is in the air.
The brook in the meadow, still firing
ed with sedge,
Feels the touch of the ice king at its
edge.
The mountains beyond the broad
river rise;
Snow silyered, they shine as the day
light dies.
The north wind sweeps where the
reapers sang,
And the earth is hard where the fresh
grain sprang.
The toilers are gone with laughter
and jest,
The greenswards' asleep, and the for
ests rest.
One robin sings late on the leaf
bare bough,
The last of it's kind; twill be winter
now.
Cold, dreary and dark IS the world to.

But the home within is aglow with
light.
The table is loaded with homely

The fruit of the goodness that crowns

Praise God; It's from Him that all

Praise Him, all We creatures in earth

Where the fire leaps high by the
hearth they kneel
To voice the thanksgiving glad hearts
should feel.

day afternoon with fund of expert
ences but minus ducks. The party had

length OF time encountered high wat
err, bad roads and world of mosqui-
toes. In fact they say they had to give
up the expected camp on Little River
near Horatio because the blood-suck-
ing insects were so numerous. The
party made camp on Rolling Fork,
west of Kings and had nice outing,
but continued rains and high water
made it impossible to get any of the
expected feathered game. On their
return fonis the party, which made

awful roads. Their record was elev-

AMERICA CAN LEARN MUCH
FROM BRITAIN, SAYS DAVIS
Ambassador Says English Know How
to Handle Industrial Disputes
Better.

London Nov 15.-It Is the belief
Of Ambassador Davis that insofar as
industrial disputes are concerned
America has much to learn from Eng
land The Ambassador was greatly
impressed with the orderliness. good
temper and determination for fair play
that was so manifest during the re-
cent railway strike here.
Il never saw a public phenomenon
which was more impressive or of
greater promise" Ambassador Davis
told American correspondents, not
only TO Great Britain but to the civil
lied world It was demonstration Of
the inherent, innate, deep-seated love
Of order that prevailed among the
British people, reverence for estab-
lished institutions, eagerness for reign
OF law, and determination to be
made for it. 1t was the quality which,
year after year, age after age. had
made the forces of despotism and an
archy beat against this island like
a rock.
That was the contribution which
the English people had made to civil
ization, which they we're ready to
make again. ard thank them through
all the years.
These industrial problems were
common problems that confronted the
world at this time. What happened
to-day in England might happen to-
morrow In America: and what took
place in America to-day might take
place tomorrow in England 1t is
the same problem-the relationship
of man to man in industry.
I'VE shall learn from Great Britain
we must learn from Great Britain
and l am devoutly thankful that We
learn from a race that has the innate
love of order to which have alluded"
