THE FINANCIAL SIDE
By Ames Rogers. Vice President OF
Abilene National Bank

The spirit of Thanksgiving Is par
ticularly significant this year. With
all the current unrest In agricultural
and business life, there are many
things for which we can be truly
thankful. The period Of defation Is
with us and we are approaching nor
NAL conditions by sympathetic COOP
Grafton In an orderly manner. 1t Is
what everyone has been expecting
and anticipating for two years. The
skeleton is out Of the closet, so to
speak, and it will not be long until
conditions have stabilized and In
dustries in all lines viii begin anew
with a distinct feeling of security
and confidence.
Dickinson county has had bounti-
full crops during the past year. We
should be thankful for that. Pros
meets for the coming crop were never
better, and certainly It will be mar
keted under more favorable condi-
tions, with reference to relative
values.
Out here where we have little un-
employment, with less permanent
debt than ever, with fundamental
conditions never so sound, living In
the Garden Spot Of the United States
the Garden Spot Of the World
how can we help being optimistic and
being thankful

teachers and pupils, alike. contribute
to their success or failure according
to the spirit Of mutual helpfuiness
and CO. operation which we offer.
1t should be a source of satisfac-
tion to the patrons, as 1t is to teach
ers. to know that In the various
school problems the sympathy and
support Of the community has not
been lacking.
We point with pride to our beau
tiful, new, well-eQuipped high
school building In which more than
Ave hundred Of our young people
have now had the beenfits Of years
training. 1t should be a source OF
qualification that the additional op-
portunities which 1t affords, permit
broader and more varied development
of high school life and activity.
The Junior school, too, a new pro-
blem year ago, Is now a well es-
tablished unit in our school system
and we have reason to be gratefui
that Abilene has taken this distinct
forward step In enlarging the op'
portunities Of its elementary schools.
A splendid school spirit is manifest
throughout the grades and high school
and at this season of special thanks
giving 1t is fitting that we voice our
appreciation of the efforts OF 0ul
school officials and Of the citizens OF
Abilene to make the schools OF TINS

THE CHURCH REJOIcES
By Rev. M. G. PIatz Pastor Of the
Evangelical Church

The church Of Jesus Christ has
many reasons for profound gratitude
in these days. First Of all, for her
divine Master who has given the
great commission and pledged His
presence and help to carry 1t ont.
Then also for the many opportun-
tiles which have presented them
selves to her for accomplishing good.
Furthermore. for the remarkable
achievements made through the spirit
of the Forward Movement which
has gripped and utilized her energies
for the advancement Of thte kingdom
and helpfulness to humanity.
In spite Of many difficulties and
ragements she has been able to
hear her Leaders voice directing her
through the din Of the battle. Never
have the demands made upon the
church been more press,in and the
opportunities for doing good so far
reaching as at the present time.
May she press on to heS high call
ing with renewed vig0r, with I'M
plicit obedience and gratitude, not
forgetting her unlimited possibilities
as she adheres to her Lords com
mand.

THANKSGIVING
D., U>~.sn A ch Ar0df

Our lips may speak Of gratitude,
Our hearts with rapture swell,
In moments Of emotion when
Our thoughts on blessings dwell
But words are vain and empty things
Shams Of the hypocrite,
Unless our deeds Of kindness .shall
Our words of praise befit.
Receiving all of goodness
And abundance as we 40,
Our praise must be our gladness
Seeing others have 1t too;
Our pleasure in the sharing
When we see anOther's need
For gratitude is all unknown
Where hearts are pinched WIN
greed.
And so. on this Thanksgiving.
If we would thankful be,
The love of an unselfish heart
Must set our spirit free.
To give with fearless freedom
When we're called upon to snare
For this is true Thanksgiving
Every day and everywhere.

We are thankful Tor the uhuef-
standing and vision shown by the
American people in dealing fairly
with business during the eventful per-
iod of reconstruction through which
we are passing. Cool heads and clear
thinking will surely bring about q
normal condition which is so greatly
desired. Business is making sacri-
fees to meet conditions and furnish
service and is not unmindful OF the
spirit of fairness shown by the pub
lie.
Interest In each others problems
and close cooperation in helping to
work them out will prove mutual
advantage to all and show to the
world and to ourselves that we can
maintain our balance through the
test and come out greater people
and a greater country with better
understanding Of the strength o1
