This Day Of Thanks

There's a little verse in that charm ing little book. ''The Lady of the Dec oration," which I dearly love and quite so much, that goes like this:
 My Country, 'tis of Thee,
 Sweet Bird of Cranberry.
 Of Thee I sing;
 I love thy neck and wings,
 Legs, back, and other things.
 Etc. Etc, Etc"
 Which is an appropriate Thanksgiv- ing parody on the familiar song, and brings to mind the fact that most of us can whip up a little Thanksgiving sentiment around the Postal Board even if earlier in the day we have failed to discover causes for thank fitness even with our rosiest colored ard very best-est magnifying glasses.
 Ii we haven't anything elss on the top side face of ;he earth to be thank sul for, after searching the whole years record thro' and thro,' we always have this:
 If we haven't received wat we want ed we can still be thankful that we didn't get what we didn't want.
 Be thankful you aint got a hare lip" I can almost hear "Lovey Mary" calling in reproach her cheerful phi losophy that Mrs. Wiggs of the Cab bage Patch" taught every one who came under her spell.
 The last one of us who hasn't enough of the Grace O God" in our hearts to say a little Thanksgiving prayer to- day for the misfortunes that might have been sent upon us but which were not-deserves hard lesson.
 Most of us get good deal more than we deserve; and the more they get In the same proportion their Thanksgiving seems to ebb instead of rise to High Tide"
 In spite of the H. c. L.. there should be no beggars today, no poor, unfed and unclothed no "bums" feeling as if the world had turned it's back upon such. for to those to whom so much has been given should also be given sufficient generosity of the heart to make those less fortunate happy by ample contributions
 Kipling's pretty remark about the man stealing a ride on the blind bag gage should be passed on.
 He's no tramp" said MT. Kipling, Ines gentleman in distress"
 The very last one of us might for today allow ourselves to be enveloped in far-reaching and extravagant char ity to those less fortunate than our selves.
 If such one passes your way today. give him some cause for Thanksgiving whether he deserves it or not.

AGAINST
FROST
Orchardists to Protect Fruit Against
Freezing Weather.

At least two of Emmett's fruit
growers will be prepared hereafter to
protect their fruit from late frosts.
They are the Westlake Orchards and
Henry Obermeyer. Each will pur-
chase complete equipment of smudge
pots and the electrical appartus to
warn of temperature in the orchard
nearing the danger point. Both Mr..
Stone of the Westlake and Mr.. Ober-
meyer are confident that the greater
portion of their fruit could have been
saved this year if smudge protection
had been provided. 1t would have
meant saving of SAC, 900 to the West
lake company and $4,000 to Frozen
Dog ranch.
The utility of such protection has
been demonstrated for years at Pali-
sade, Colo. 1t is claimed that there
are just two days in practically every
year when such protectionn is needed,
and the expense, after installation, is
small.

TAKE SHOT AT
MARSHAL
C. A. Leggitt Has Marrow Escape
While Patroling r. r. Yards

An unknown person, supposed to be
one of the persons who has been en-
gagged in pilfering freight cars in the
railroad yards here, fired point blank
at Night Marshal Al Leggitt Sunday
night while he was patroling the
freight yards. The bullet, from re-
volver, came so close to his head that
he could hear it hiss. The shot was
fired from between two cars by a man
crouched there, who at once made his
getaway. The officer gave chase but
was unable to overtake the man or
secure clue as to his identity. Com
plant has been made for some time
that cars were being broken into and
goods stolen therefrom, and Marshal
Leggitt has been keeping close watch
on the yards.
