OUR DAY FOR THANKS.

During 3S4 days of the year the peo-
pie OF this country spend much time
and talk in grumbling at the taxes, the
shortcomings of the legislature and
the congress, the laws we do not like,
the high prices of the things we must
buy and the low prices OF what we
have to sell, and other things too nu-
merous to mention. 1t is a fine GUS
tom, therefore. that has caused to be
set about officially and by common
consent one day in the year in which
we are made to forget our troubles
and remember only our blessings. And
as a people we are peculiarly blessed
among the nations of the world.
1t is something for which to be
truly thankful. that we are free from
war. from debts and taxes greater
than we are able to bear and from
hunger and pestilence.
When We look out over the world
we can hardly fail to see that We have
much for which to feel thankful.
And each Thanksgiving day. as 1t rolls
and satisfaction that we are so fortu-
nate as to be citizens of the greatest
and most prosperous nation on earth.
We of Kansas feel to an equal de-
gree thankfuIness that we live in a
state where there is so much of which
to be proud and so little of poverty,
crime and suffering.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS.
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Tho epson: am TWEEN
ty-nine years of age and I think you
will admit I havs a little common
sense 1 am a young wife of just four
months and have been YER happy I
love my husband with all my heart
and wors-p the ground he walks on.
He tells me he loves me and could
never get aIorS without me, but there
are several fellows who tell him he is
a fool because he is so good to me
that the more man makes love and
fuses over his wife the less she will
think of him. That iSI.'t true, for 1
lc e it 1 told him not to listen to
these fellows ;4d that VIXEN I saw
them L would tell them ne to talk to
him that way. He says he doesn't
pay any attention to what they say,
but I can always tell when he has
been with them. He seems distant
and cool to me. Would advise me
to tell those fellows to keep still?
L am ashamed to say I am very
Jealous over my husband and try to
break myself of this habit, but can't
seem to. Please tell me good way.
This makes me so miserable and it
always makes trouble. My husband
is also Jealous of me.
A YOUNG WIFE.
1t is probably not that your hus-
band is influenced by what his friends
saw without doubt he has his
moods-at times he feels affectionate
and at times he feels distant and
doesn't want to show affection or
have it bestowed on him Study his
moods and at the times you think he
is cool and Indifferent don't bother
him. At first it may be difficult to go
about your own affairs and leave him
alone, but it will pay to do so. His
moods do not indicate that his love is
growing cool, but 1t is simply natural
for some people to be more affection
ate at one time than at another. Do
not tell your husbands friends not to
talk to him in the way they do, be-
cause that would humiIiate him and
would probably make him indignant
at you
If you think the right thoughts you
can do much to control your jealousy.
Instead of letting yourself dwell on
things, fill your thoughts
with trust for your husband. Be
thankful that he loves you so much
and can be trusted Rejoice in the
happy things that come to you each
day.Skeep bust in your home and out
side. and you VIII not have time TO be
Your husband viii like
you better if you have outside inter
ests.> even If he won't admit il and
doesn't realize OF course there is an
extreme; some women go too much
and some stay at home too much.
Strike a happy medium.

A THANKsGrvING PRAYER.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

Lord. for the beauty of the day,
The sun which drives the night away,
The stars which make the sky OF night
A 5eweIed canopy of light
For sp1endor shining everywhere
Accept today our grateful prayer.
Lord. for the leaf upon the tree,
The droning Of the summer bee,
The rippling wave CT lake and stream,
The spider web upon the BEAM
The swallows nest the robins lay,
Accept our gratitude today
From Thee alone these glories spring
The beauty Of the mallard'k wing,
The scent Of apples, ripe and red.
The grain that has been harvested
The fruit of vine and field and tree,
The mountain and the rolling sea.
Lord, be-ond toll and pain and care
Exist Thy wonders everywhere
The tiniest thing the eye can see
I1tters a song Of praise to Thee,
So for the beauty of the day
In gratitude to Thee we pray

last private operators were glad to
take $4,000 in lieu of six months
profit, and they had none of these
staggering interest and depreciation
charges to bear.
Meanwhile, Norfolk and Portsmouth
are in a dilemma. Naturally the buiS-
ness interests of the town would be
glad to see the government relinQuish
control and allow the profits to fail
info local private hands, as it was in
the old days. Under the terms of the
contract, three years after the procIa-
nation of peace, which means in No
vember, 1924, the city and county
have the right to demand a new ap-
praisal. The government agrees to
wipe off as a war loss the difference
between the price it paid for the re-
Mobilization of the proptry and what
the appraisers say is its present worth.
Then, any earning s are to be subtract
ed from the appraisal vaule, and the
city and county have the right to re-
ence to the government.
The question is, will the city and
county take this step? For one thing,
they would probably have to dig into
pay for the ferries in 1924. Mean
while the travelling publica is cooling
toward private operation in the near
future. Those who cross the river
buy their tickets in clean commodious
stations and ride in safe well-kept
boats that run on schedule to the
second.
Moreover. and most important, the
taxpayer sees the line now earning a
profit at Nhe rate of $135,OO0 a year.
At this rate, the government will pay
itself off in less than seven years. The
citizens OF Portmouth and Norfolk
thus think that under the terms of
the contract this million-doIlar plum
will fall into their laps free, if they
it time enough. Whether congress
would be willing to part with such
revenue-getter without a struggle is
another question.

The net expenditure for collecting
federal taxes for 1922 was $S4.2S6,-
651. which was equivalent to $1.07 for
each 800 collected, as compared with
20 cents for each 500 the previous
year. Probably about S33.O0O.OOO of
this expense could have been saved to
the government, if for a large number
of the forms of taxation in existence
there had been substituted a sales tax
Economy in collection, however, is but
one OF the many merits of the sales
tax Its chief recommendation is that
it makes everybody pay and in just
proportion.

THE san FRANCISCO PLAN

san Francisco has had so much
trouble from labor disturbances in
the past. especially in the building
trades, with consequent checks on the
city's progress, that in 1921 there was
organized an Industrial Association"
with the object OF bringing about a
satisfactory and peaceful solution of
the wage problem.
The association as a part of its
pledge to the public. promised to fix.
thru impartial machinery. and enforce
an equitable wage scale in the build
ing trades for a reasonably definite
period. Accordingly. in November OF
last year, the association appointed
wage board consisting of the Catholic
archbishop Of San Francisco; an attor-
ney and former supervisor: and
prominent wholesale druggist who had
been president of the San Francisco
Chamber OF Commerce-three men
whose impartiality and ability were
generally recognized.
This board. after conducting an ex-
tended series of public hearings at
which appeared and testified repre-
sentatives of labor, the employers and
the general public. fixed a wage scale
for the calendar year. 1922. This
scale proved so fair it is said that it
never was seriously complained of,
and was responsible for a good rec
crd of building activity made in San
Francisco this year. The value of
building permits for the first eight
months OF this year exceeded by over
100000 the value of the permits
for all Of last year. A report issued
by the association says:
In view OF the unquestioned sue
costumes OF this method OF wage
fixing, and IN order to prove beyond
doubt to the workers and the COM
munity the good faith of the Indus
trial association, the association has
persuaded the same men who COM
posed the impartial wage board last
year. to serve again this year in order
to determine upon an equitable scale

! Insuring Matrimony-2.
Doubtless, before a marriage insur-
ance policy is written, the company
Will investigate the fitness of the man
and woman to wed who wish to be
protected against the chances or
matrimonial disaster. Cold statisticians
| will have figured out the chances of
happiness of the very young who rush
into matrimo1y and of foolish boys
who espouse women older than them
selves, and of senile rich men who
believe that girls young enough to be
| their granddaughters love them for
themselves alone
Also, there will be scientific data
showing the least amount of money
upon which a couple can safely marry,
and the effect of in-laWS upon the
divorce question. Then a psychologist
will come in, Abd estimate the chance
of marriage being a success in which
two nervous, irritable, high-tempered
people Undertake to live under the
same roof, or how long a man who
loves to eat will stand - woman who
is a poor cook, or the likelihood of a
lady butterfly, who is married to a
grub. flying off with some other fit
terer who comes her way
And who would be bold enough to
marry after they have been turned
down by an insurance bureau that
considered them too bad a risk to
take? Surely, even the most fool
hardy would pause and think on the
SALE S40S VI the dlldTs 1nSISdo OIL en-
tering into a marriage that was pre-
ordained to end in the divorce court
But, valuable as the marriage in
surance may be, in a way it is like
insurance. You have to die to collect
the policy, and nobody wants to do
that.
The better way, therefore. is to
carry your own marriage insurance,
and make your marriage a success
yourself
This can be done by the exercise
of a little tact, little common sense,
a little self-control, a little recogni-
ton of the fact that marriage is a
business obligation as well as a senti-
mental adventure.
Husbands and wives get tired of
each other. They cease to love each
other. They make their home place
of pickering and strife. They fall in
love with other people. They wreck
their lives, and break up their homes,
and rush into other entanglements
that end in disaster like the first.
Why?
Because they carried no marriage
insurance. They did not try to make
marriage a success. They killed love
with nagging and criticism. They
trampled every Illusion under foot.
They were hateful, and became hated.
People like these will always need to
take out a marriage insurance policy. |
But they are as bad risk as the in
cendiary who burns down his house
to get the insurance.
