The prize and clinching argument
of many near-economists, who under

point to the workingman clad in silk
shirt and riding in his own automo-

spirit of waste and extravaganza that
is fritting away the products of indus

There is Just enough of truth in the
idea held out to make impressive to
those who do not stop to think, and
even hardheaded bankers and bust

jump to wrong conclusions.

many do indulge in eXtravaganges,
but all things are comparative. The
luXuries of yesterday may be the ne.

the automobile. No one absolutely

whole hearts, neither have we been sent many of the untoward blessings that we didn't want.
 If we haven't got what we wanted. we can still be thankful this blessed Thanksgiving Day that we haven't got what we didn't want
 And there's always the Thanksgiv- ing dinner, as I said before, to make us glad even with turkey at 'upmty 'steen cents a pound, and little old plebian red-faced cranberries getting aristocratic at umpty 'steen cents a quart.
 But food isn't the whole of Thanks giving feast, for food really means very little except to the very young and the very old; there are certain years perhaps we'd call them the middle aged" years, between the very young and the very old, when food counts for very little either one way or the other especially if the things that might have kindled our hearts with the Thanksgiv- ing spirit have been denied you.
 I heard a woman say yesterday that she didn't have one thing for which to be thankful. She made the assertion on a street corner where many people waited for car, Glancing about I could only marvel at her daring to say such a thing. Waiting for the same car was a mother with terribly twisted and deformed child which she was talk ing to the Mercy home, perhaps; blind man lead by small boy; a warped old woman in rags, selling newspapers; a palsied old man, crippled and across the street funeral train was passing
 Nothing to be thankful for in such a crowd And the woman who spoke was we'll and strong: she has never known poverty and life has touched her only with love licks.
 Be thankful you aint got CT hare Iip" I can almost hear Lovey Mary of Mrs. wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" calling in reproach, her cheerful phil osophy of her homely surroundings.
 The last one of us who hasn't enough of the grace of God in our hearts to say a prayer of thankfulness today for the misfortunes that might have been sent us, but which were not deserves hard lesson.
 Most people get a great deal more than they deserve, and the more they get in the same proportion the thanks giving seems to ebb instead of rise to high tide.

THANKSGI WING

Said the great big turkey gobbler
 To the little turkey turk.
 I guess I'll stay at home today
 And not go down to work;
 T have sort of feeling
 That it's wiser not to roam
 And that it would be safer
 For me to stay at home."
 Isn't it the Lady of the Decoration" |" who sings the Thanksgiving roundelay
 T love the breast and wings,
 Legs, back and other things,
 Thou bird of cranberry"
 Wonder what she'd think about the price of this nice old Thanksgiving bird with it's legs" back and "other things" and those nice old Thanksgiv- ing cranberries in the year of our Lord, 1920?
 Perhaps she'd render thanks that they weren't any higher priced, for most of us can. after all, whip up a little Thanksgiving cheer - especially around the festal board, even if earlier in the day we fail to discover any valid and just cause for thankfulness even with our most rose-colored and best magnifying glasses.
 Ihen again. there's always one thing We ought to be thankfufl for, and that IS. If we haven't been given a great

mills profits and not high priced
cotton Is and has been all along the
cause of high prices of cotton goods"
says George L. FOssick, Marketing
Specialist Of the Commercial Appeal.
and it is just what The Falcon has been
saying for years, We quoted last year
from Country Gentleman q statement
that prior to 1914 cotton mills added
s2s to the cost Of bale of cotton and
sold the manufactured goods from the
bale for the sum of the cost Of the bale
and the S28. Now these same mills are
adding S27S to the cost Of the bale TO
get the selling price Of the produce Of
that bale, In 1914 II took $2S to cover
manufacture and profit from bale.
now it takes s27S for the same. Here
is the cause Of high priced cotton. goods
and they are staying high in spite Of
depressed cotton prices.
