Ooe, II Million Jars Used Yeoriy

Portable during the long sermons.
These little foot stoves were pierced
metal boxes standing on legs, and
nearly every family had a supply.
The purpose of Thanksgiving Is too
often forgotten in these days of
greater comforts and blessings, and
the religious observance is failing far
more than should be the case.
Congress recommended days of
thanksgiving annually during the
Revolution, and in 1884 for the return
of peace--as did President Madison in
1916. Washington appointed such
day in 1889, after the adoption of the
constitution. and in 1895 for the gen
eral benefits and welfare of the
nation. Since 1863 the Presidents
have always issued proclamations ap-
pointing the last Thursday in Novem-
Der as Thanksgiving day.
Perhaps the following quotation
expresses more than anything else 1
could say the real purpose of Thanks
giving:
"Over and over and over again
Gods harvest falls in the hands of
men;
NJ. B. TWO,
ana never weary our FatHeT Is
OF feeding these clamorous children of
His;
OF ripening the grain and painting the
fruit,
OF giving the oak it's sturdier root,
OF wrapping the corn in the husk
away.
OF hiding the seed for the sun of May.
Over and over again He pours
Into our bins the bounteous stores;
And so, for the richness and joy of liv-
ing,
And all that is good we keep Thanks
giving"
Esther"
Wasn't it fine of Esther to be so
helpful to Aunt Madge and to give
| the readers of the column such a
| Thanksgiving treat. You will all
| join with me in giving her thanks
and may all of you have a pleasant
Thanksgiving.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

'Panics," says Barnard Baruch,
ARE the result of fear.
There is no panic in Pensacola and
we doubt if there is any considerable
amount of fear In truth many mer-
chants look forward with optimism,
not for banner years such as those of
1918 and 1919, but for years of good
business. They expect those organi-
cations which are founded on safe and
sound PRINCIPLES to endure and grow,
while those which were but mushroom
growths of an unusual period will
doubtless disappear.
AS an indication that business here
is destined TO be better from now on
is the recent increase in working force
at the shipyard where contracts for
six barges and several bridges have
been signed.
The only reduction OF working force
recently has been at the Newport
plant and it is said in semi-official
circles that there will be a resump-
ton OF work at this plant within the
next 60 days. Other Pensacola indus
tries are working at practically full
capacity and the fact that a number
OF public works projects are soon to
be commenced indicates a renewal of
