THANKSGIVING

Today is Thanksgiving Day. Let
us look back and see what we have t.
be thankful for The past year has
brought more real prosperity to the
people than we have seen in gener-
alton. While there has been a great
cry about high cost of everything we
have to buy, it is the same with what
we have to sell. so the high cost of
living is really imaginary. The people
of this community are blessed with
larger bank account than they have
had in years, and are living on more
luxuries at the present time than
ever before. Our community is not
infested with epidemics and distress
as it was year ago The truth is We
have everything to be thankful for
Look on the bright side of life AID
smile and the world win smile with
you.

A. Effort. insufficient number
of Workers Only Bar to Immedi-
ate Success.

Success for the Y. M. c. A
drive is in sight. The response on the
part of the general public is such
as to insure victory, provided the
canvass can be made complete. The
only thing that has prevented a
successful wind-up within the allot-
ed time, has been the shortage OF
workers.
This is the judgement of the exc
cutive committee and captains in
charge of the Y. NJ. c. A. Campaign.
They DO not minimize the big task
yet ahead, but are convinced from
the responses already secured, that
the public is favorable to continu-
ance of the Y. M. C. A work under
proper auspices, and will support it.
The great need is for more workers
in order TO cover the field thoroughly
and quickly.

day. showed the following totals:

>Some of the teams have met with
Alry gratifying results during the
Campaign. Captain Brown and Mr..
B. P. Boales covered the Dead Ok
country, received almost no refusals,
and turned in a total of $1025 as a
result of their days effort.
Captains Eastman and Brown in
the Little Willow District. were turn
ed down but once, reporting over
$500, with more to come.
Gen. Albert and Captain Fitch and
NJ D. Reed had fine reception in
the country between Payette and the
Little Willow, turning in $685..
The Special Flying Squadron"
canvassing the Business District of
Payette, also had virtually unani-
nous response.
Too much credit can not be given
the ladies of the Woman's Division
who each day have served luncheon
to the workers at 1918 in the Y. M.
c. A. basement These luncheons are
an essential part of the Campaign, as
the time of canvassers is conserved,
and fellowship and frinedly rivalry
fostered.
The one great essential now, is

WHY 1T WAS HE'LL.

A golf fanatic died and went to
heaven. Where is your golf course,
was the first question he asked of St
Peter.
1--WE have no golf course up here, u
was the reply, "but I've heard there
is splendid one down in hell. You
might drop down there and look il
over"
The fanatic descended. Sure
enough, there was the most wonder
full links he had ever seen. An at
tendant imp led him to clubhouse
so perfectly appointed as to suggest
Utopia instead of the Inferno. 1t took
but minute to find some toys which
fitted him as if they were made to
order. The set of clubs which the
imp handed him were those of which
he had always dreamed of during his
earthly life.
The imp took him out to the first
tee.
"But the balls? We've forgotten
the balls" said the golf fanatic.
"Ah-ha! There amt no balls!a
shrieked the imp. "That's the hell OF
it."
