giving Day, and every state in the
United States has something to be
4 thankful for. But you very often hear
people say that they haven't any
thing to be thankful for, because they
didn't make good crops and don't have
plenty of money to spend and at the
same time do not think of being glad
they are living in the world All some
people study about is pleasure and
having big time, and when they
sometimes fail they take what they
call the blues" and never think Of
being glad they are spared to live.
God judges people by the deeds done
in their body. Now let US all be
thankful we are living to help our
selves and other people who need our
help. The majority Of the people are
too selfish, they think of SELF and no
one else, while they are living high
and having all the comfort necessary.
They never think of helping other
people who are down on their luck,
and at the same time are doing the
very best that they can, But It IS
seldom people of this poorer class are
ever given hardly a good word, much
less equalized on their behalf But
/ friends these people are better at
heart and have kinder feeling toward
4 their native race, than you have. They
have something to be thankful for.
Because they do the best they can for
/ themselves and help other people and
+ | think if all the people would do all
they could to help each othor, things
would move on much more smoothly
and am sure everyone would be
happier.

Since the bird law is out and the
hunters are given the privilege to do
as much bird hunting as they please
the sound of guns are heard in every
direction, anyone who is easily fright
ened and didn't know what all those
guns meant by shooting so freely,
might thing there was young war
on hand. Hunting is great sport for
most of the men and boys and then
most of the game they Kill is good
food besides.
have noticed for the past few days
several flocks Of wild geese going
south. So if there is any truth mi
the old saying the men may as well
begin TO put away plenty Of good coal
and wood, for there seems 70 be bad
weather coming on later behind the
fowls.
AS | sit writing this letter the lit
tic dead leaves are gently dropping
against the window, as The wind hurls
them to mother earth. Ii is a beauti-
ful sight to view the woodland forest
with it's many trees Of different varie-
ties. They have changed their beau
tiful green spring and summer cover
ing for their fall ard winter costum-
es Of many hues. ] have often heard
said that the fallinr caves resemble
the dead. have heard il said, also,
that the falling leaves were like a
person who dies. when they leave the
trees and fall to the ground that they
win be Of no more use here en- earth.
And so il is with a dead person, when
they have died and are carried from
their homes and placed beneath the
earth they are not of any more use
to those they leave behind them.
