ruling on the complaint OF Sarah A.

er. and Gardiner e. Dent, agents, de-
clared today a rental OF so per
month to be Excessive, unreasonable,
and unfair" for apartment 20, the

reduced to S4T.50.

similar apartments.

month reduction in rent for property

clared to be excessive.

THANKSGIVING.

The Thanksgiving season has come
again and we are reminded of ourpriv-
ilege and duty of rendering thanks to
God for His blessings.
We are apt to take these as a mat
ter of fact, as something that is due
us and so feel but little gratitude for
them. As to our expressing our
thanks-that is superfuous. We have
had plenty to be thankful for and
enough to make us feel a sense of
shame, but we are concerned now with
the things that require thanks.
We ought to be thankful for the day
itself which is an expression of the
faith of our people in the existence
and overruling providence of God. We
have been preserved from plaques,
pestilences and epidmics. We recall
the sad experiences of a year ago
when the flu carried away so many
thousands of our young people and
left aching hearts to mourn their un-
timely end, but sad as 1t was, the ca
lamity was slight compared with SIM
liar ones in some of the countries of
Europe and the East.
Our bountiful crops are reason for
Thanksgiving. We have enough for all
our needs and some TO spare, so that
we can relieve the distress of other

Knights of Pythias Notes of Interest

The ranks of Page and of Esquire
were conferred at the last meeting of
Garrett Lodge and some very impor-
tant business concerning the local Or
ganization was transacted, notably the
taking over by the lodge of a portion
of the obligations of the Pythian I'M

that financially Garrett Lodge contin-
ues to grow.

three hundred and it is planned to
have big class for the rank of Knight

to attend every meeting between this

membership at the earliest possible
date.

Last Thursday-Armistice Day
was very quietly observed in Oakland.
The banks were closed all day, while
the stores and other places of bust
ness closed at noon and remained so
until six o'clock in the afternoon. One
flag, that in front of The Republican
building, was the only emblem dis
played until noon, when the large mu-
nicipal flag was run to the top of the
staff on the hill on Second street. The
day was unlike that of two years ago
when the entire town took noisy hol-
iday and some men were heard to re-
mark that if it were possible they
would close their places of business
for two weeks in celebration of the
great occasion. Four hours was the
limit on Thursday, and many were
champing at the bit to get back to
their places of business from the mo-
ment they locked up until the hour
agreed upon to again open for bust
ness in the afternoon.

YOUTH INJURED
Clyde Coates Skull Fractured in
Jumping From Automobile.

Jumping FROM Automobile.
Mr.. Gilmore H. Dewitt, accompan-
led by Clyde Coates, both of the Mar
tin Garage, of Oakland, started to
Deer Park Saturday night by auto
mobile and at point on the Deer
Park road between Mt. Lake Park and
Deer Park, while travelling along at
fairly high speed the lights on the
car went out which frightened Mr..
Coates and he jumped from the car,
hitting his head on rock which lay on
the side of the road. Mr.. Coates
was unconscious from the time of the
accident until the following evening
when he regained consciousness. Upon
examination it was found that Coates
skull was slightly fractured and Tues
day he was taken to hospital in Cum
berland where he will undergo an
operation. Mr. Coates came to Oak
land on Monday from his home in
Bruceton Mills, West Va.

lands and satisfy the hunger of the
thousands of starving in foreign lands.
We may be glad also for the evil
dence that the prices of certain
foodstuffs are on the downward grade.
Let the good work go on, even if the
heartless profiteers should go hun
gry-as they we'll deserve-or if they
should spend time in a safe prison it
would be just.
Glad we are that our boys are home
and again engaged in the activities of
peace and we trust they will not again
be called to settle the quarrels of the
contentious and bloodthirsty peoples
of the old world
1t is cause for thanks that our ma
ton is being aroused to the danger
of the revolutionaries of the old world
within our own borders This is AM
erica and must be kept strictly Am
ericanized We have enough law,
power and energy to keep down these
lawless classes or to drive them out,
and public sentiment is becoming crys-
talized behind it. If they are not
satisfied with our government. let
them move on or be fired out as unde-
sirable citizens.
1t is gratifying to know that the
moral conscience of the nation, as
shown in the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead law, and in open pro-
tests now and then against the vul-
garity and lewdness of woman's dress
is being awakened. For this, all good
citizens should thank God. ''He daily
loadeth us with His benefits"
One of the greatest blessings of our
nation during the year was the check
that was put upon certain religious
movements and declarations, which, I'M
der the guise of Christian unity, bid
fair to become real menace to stable
government as well as pure and unde-
filed religion. 1t seemed to be the re-
s',lt of religious insanity and swept
for time, many good people off their
feet, but sober thought and calm rea
son prevailed and the species of high
financed religion that promised it
would sweep the land, exploded as 4
sky rocket and men awakened to the
absurdity of the whole scheme.
Let us meet together in our places
of worship and give thanks publicly
and sincerely to God. l know it is
now regarded as day for feasting for
family reunions, for football games
and turkey dinners, but, though these
may be proper in themselves and in
their places and not displeasing to
God, yet around the family altar
where such relic of by-gone days
of devoted service exists-or in the
congregation, let us give sincere and
humble thanks.
Thanksgiving should be the great
feature of our national life, as it was
OF lSrael S.
The New Testament teaches us that
"every creature of God is good, and
nothing to be refused if received with
thanksgiving" "In everything by
prayer and duplication with thanks
giving" we are to let our requests be
made known unto God" By thanking
God we not only check our pride and
selfishness, but the increase of graf
itude strengthens faith.
If we thank God, we must call to
mind His past acts of wise and low
ing care and as we rehearse these it
will be easier to trust Him for the
future.
at is a good thing to give thanks
unto the Lord" -Ps. 92:1.
May your lives abound with thanks
giving. JOANNES.
