! ONE THANKSGIVING DAY TEN YEARS AGO
The Approaching Thanksgiving Reminds n
BY ROBERT B. MCcoRD.

II was on Wednesday beiofn
THANKSGIVING ten years ago. hat
a long distance phone call from q
county Judge down the state. Inc
Children's Home Society had taken
homeless boys and girls from his
county before, and go he spoke now
with authority. Get on the train IN
Atlanta tonight and reach here TO-
morrow morning; | have little OF
phan girl you ought to take immeor
ately" To him It seemed not to
matter that tomorrow was Thanks
giving. That also was back In the
DAYS when the Georgia Childrens
Home Society had nobody but me TO
60 for a little homeless girl.
The child was with her grand
mother eight miles out in the coun-
try when arrived in that county
capital next morning. Judge salu
we'd drive out there for her just be
fore noon. and she'd eat turkey with
US at his house. AS we drove along
he told me how the child's mother
went out of the world as the BABY
came in, and how the poor, unframed
young father got along badly without
a mother for his baby until last sum
mer when he too had to go and leave
her. The old grandmother had since
then been the only chance Tor THIS
child of eight years.
Before Judge had apparently finish
ed his story the car stopped before
nothing more than little old shanty
behind a split-rail fence. 1t was
twelve by my time-piece, and looking
IN the front door we saw back there
a woman and child apparently eating
dinner. Come In" she said, and we
forthwith did 1t.
That grandmother must have seen
better days, for she really insisted
that we Feat dinner with them. We
did not, but Judge sat near by in
vacant chair while sat upon an old
trunk there close to the table. Be
fore the diners were one small piece Of
cornbread, saucer containing some
little white raw onions, and one empty
dish of turnips. / knew they hat
been turnips, for Just then grandma
took the empty dish and went to the
stove in the same room for more

more times than Peter seined the Sci

She stopped talking to the Judge loni
enough to say: Media, they ain
no more greens here. Eat them on

Media didn't want them either, TO
she got up sadly and left the table

men of the type and character we are
speaking of would stake ten times
the value of their stock, or all they
possess, to keep a bank of theirs
from going down, like ship at sea,
with all on board, all who had
trusted them to keep the ship sound
and seaworthy with power to ride the
hardest storms.
AS you look over the names of the
men who pilot your bank, consider
whether they have generally beer
conservative when others plunged;
standing pat when some were care
less of their anchorage; tightwads
when some were investing in oil
stock and asbestos mines, eucalytis
groves and rubber plantations that
never echoed back with dividends.
Such men act as life preservers of
a community when people with ready
money paint too rosy the pictures of
themselves standing on the threshold
of opportunity, and believe those of
the oily tongue who tell them they
are just about to come into their
own.

CHAPTER VIII.

vice.. for everything that is made or grown
east or west, and American families con-
stitute a better market for American
gods than do any other kind of families
under the sum- While the raw lands of
the irri gated regions are being conquered,
new and finer houses and barns will be
built on the older farms and diversified
farming and dairying will combine to
still further increase their yield. Tractors
will take the place of horses, and gentle,
high bred cows will be the market for
much of the farm crops without increas-
ing the amount of chores now expended
on work horses. When the products of
the farm are consumed on the farm, or
concentrated to dairy products, it will
wipe out the high freight troubles that
are now prostrathg the irrigated regions.
They are now shipping alfalfa hay to east
ern states and shipping butter and cheese
back, and are suffering many other similar
losses The coming of iron and steel
mills to Utah will wipe out much of the
high freight troubles in hardware and all
things made of iron and steel, besides
making manufacturing centers and new
markets there"
So much is being said of all these
things in the east and middle west that
we are convinced that great transforma-
ton is coming to the intermountain
country and that it is on its way. In
chapter VII we told you that the wave of
better business is rolling westward and
that it has passed Omaha, going strong.
1t is coming also from the west coast,
backed by rising trade from the Orient,
and we are content to work on in the
present hard times waiting for the two
waves to meet and lift us up with the
rising tide of commerce. We want to
see people take courage and stand by what
they have, remembering that in every
other great crisis, it was those that held
fast that came out on top.

In chapter VII we promised to tell you
what is being said these days by mer-
chants, travelling statesmen and promoters
in the Pullmans travelling across the con-
tnent between "the people" and the cent
ers of finance and manufacturing, as it
relates to constructive work, and here
it is:
california is ahead of the other irri-
gated regions in faith that enables it to
capitalize on its climate and other natural
resources. People of wealth and leisure
go there to lve they buy homes, they
buy everything needed in the homes and
they spend money to live. That makes
market for everything, and it is con-
stantly increasing market, for the people
send back for their friends to come and
enjoy it and that keeps up the influx and
the income and the development of the
country and its cities. As frame buildings
become shabby better buildings are
erected in their place, and that will con-
tlnue, keeping up good business. What is
being done in California will follow in the
intermountain country. Why?
Because reclamation has been profit
able. Reclamation projects are repaying
investors and creating permanent common
wealths. More reclamation is coming
the Colorado River Project in seven states
will stop the floods create new common
wealths and supply them with electric
power
"The Columbia River Project is going
to be built and it will do the same The
American Falls reservoir is likely to be
built and if it does it will transform part
of southern Idaho and speed up business
for a generation. All these great projects
and many smaller ones will make
market for labor, for building materials,
for implements, for every kind of house
hold goods, for electricity, for radio SER
