The Great Giver is not supplying
as bountifully and as lavishly as we
have been accustomed to receiving,
but He is providing for our every
need and gives US far beyond what
we deserve. Let US give thanks on to-
morrow for the blessings that we are
showered with. In our selfishness let
us not dwell upon our disappoint-
ments, but be grateful, knowing that
"al things work together for good to
them that love God"

Will Peace Ever Prevail?

This is pertinent question. If
after passing through the bloodiest
and most disastrous war the world
has ever experienced the nations of
the earth can not be at peace, will
perfect peace prevail again?
The League of Nations, which was
thought by many to preclude the
possibility of another war, is even
now in session legislating for the
promotion of peaceful relations of
the nations of the earth, and yet
Russia is in state of internal strife (;
the Turks continue unrestrained to
slaughter innocent humanity, on a
small scale and civil war prevails in
I! Ireland.
Should not there be some way of
stopping the shedding of human
blood in a wholesome way?

When the stomach fails to perform
it's functions the bowels become de-

Much to Be Thankful For.

ment, actual investment, and for
reasonable charges in the cost of
service; but the public has the right
to know exactly what the cost is
and how the figures are reached.
There is, however, a more vital
question, and that is the quality of
service rendered by the company.
Many of the ranchers declare that
the company is charging for serv-
ice which It does not give This
they declare is done by measur-
ing the power at the peak load of the
early morning hours, and thereafter
the power dwindles until 1t Is from
Is to 90 per cent lower than when
the company officials measure It.
Before the company can come to
the bar of public opinion and ask for
consideration II must clean It's hands
OF this charge. There Is no reason,
IL the charge of the ranchers be
true, that the company should col
lect for services It does not give
any more than any other business
man can collect for goods he does
not sell.
The company's contract for power
must be made bllateral one, in
which for that It receives It gives
THAT for which the contract calls
when that is done there Is no doubt
that the first step will have been
taken to secure an adjustment of the
power rates which will be satlsfac-
tory. In the meantime the users are
taking the right course Of action In
seeing to II that their interests are
protected
