THANKSGIVING

Some people may think that, in
view OF the rapid decline in the price
of wheat and the business uncer-
tainty prevailing in the country, we
have little cause to observe Thanks
giving day this year. Such people
are taking a narrow view of life.
If we contrast the conditions un-
der which we are living with the con-
ditions which surrounded the Pill
grims when they inaugurated
Thanksgiving day or which prevail
at the present time in Europe, we
can not fail to appreciate that we
have abundant reasons for thankful
ness.
The Pilgrims set apart a day for
Thanksgiving and prayer, because
their little colony had escaped a rep
etition of the epidemic of disease
which had decimated its ranks dur
ing the previous year and because
they had raised a small crop of grain
and were assured of sufficient sup
ply of food for the approaching win
ter. They had few OF the comforts
and none of the Injuries of life, and
were confronted by all kinds of
hardships and dangers, and yet their
hearts were so filled with thankful
ness that they felt impelled to give
a public expression of it. How much

I'VE are thankful to our neigh
bors who have adopted the program,
Make it easier to consolidate
schools We are happy in the an
ticipitation of educational opportuni-
ties equal to those enjoyed by chill
dren of nearby towns and cities. We
are happy to think that there will be
more to do in the consolidated

dren to play with and that we shall
play more games and shall have
more things to play with. We are
happy to dream of the inspiration
that will come from many in a class
and from the association with good
teachers and leaders. We shall be
proud of the buildings and equip
ment and the big library, especially
shall we be proud of the good record
OF attendance. We are thankful that
we shall not need to ride or walk in
the cold, wet weather, but that we
can ride cheerfully in the covered
wagon and have comfortable foot
warmers. Above all, we are happy
to know that through consolidation

II can be stated that Rex wray will
call the signals and that Thomas and
Sawyer are certainties In the back
field, the latter at fullback. There il
some doubt as to whether Harvey or
Joe Straus will start at the other half.

in reserve to strike the visitors in the
second half. Miller. Watkins, Farrell,
Whitehill and Caldwell are already to
get into the game IL their services are
needed.
Cochran. the big Arizonsn. who has
been playing regularly at guard, may
not start tomorrow, due TO I'M illness
that has kept him out of scrimmage all

played such q strong game last Satur-
