THANK SEWING.

All hail the joys of harvest home,
The glad thanksgiving time,
When homeward turns the feet that
roam
In distant land and cline
November fans the hearth fires glow,
Defying frosty weather,
And bracing winds that eddyng blow
The sere brown leaves together.
Our thanks are due for garnered
sheaVes,
For bins that overflow
With gathered fruit. whose fragrance
breathes
OF joys we used to know
In orchard lanes, where laden boughs
Dropped apples ripe and red,
And in childhood's play the sunny
hours
On wings of gladness sped.
For peace and plenty, Lord, we pray
Our hearts may grateful be,
And from the laden board to-day,
All praise arise to Thee.
Grant that our lives be fruitful still
AS seasons go and come
And garnered in life's twilight chill
For the angels harvest home.

it is now November, and the letter
still lying heavy on my conscience.
The last week in October | spent with
Ford and other relatives in Bluehill,

again the friends of our column.
thought | would try to write a Thanks
giving letter and have been looking
about for a suitable poem and other
material better than my own ideas, but
have found very little on the subject
except recipes and menus for the din

ing thought that comes to us as this
national day approaches? Not one
poem could I find, that had not before
appeared in the column and so | just
wrote some verses. not a poem. If you
think, sisters, it is a light task for
Aunt Madge to find poem each week,
suitable for the heading, just you try
once, and you will find it is no easy
matter especially If it is to be for some
given subject. In "Woman's World" |
found a Thanksgiving sentiment which
appealed to me and so much better
than my poor efforts, that | will close
this letter with it wishing that all our

BASKETBALL.

with the boys and girls teams play
ing the boys and girls teams of
Southwest Harbor high.
Entering their first and perhaps,
hardest game of the season, the boys
team held the Southwest Harbor
team to a much smaller score than
either side expected. Most of the
Ellsworth boys were inexperienced,
but after they got their stride" they
smashed up the wonderful passing
machine of their opponents many
times, and played defensive rather
than offensive game. From the
score, 40 to 10, anyone who had not
seen the game would think that it
was a farce, but after the first few
minutes of play, the Southwest boys
had to work for the baskets that they
obtained
Every member of the Ellsworth
squad played in the game, the
Southwest team using their big
fire. until the last three minutes of
play.
There wasn't single hard feeling
throughout the whole game, although

quarters, the Ellsworth girls showed

One thing about the game that
pleased the two Ellsworth teams was
the school spirit shown by the
students and faculty, and also the
spirit shown by the Ellsworth people
who brought down members of the
school to the game. There is no
doubt that nearly half the crowd in
the hall watching the game consisted
of Ellsworth rooters, and the cheer
ing boosted the spirits of the players.
If the same spirit holds up at the
home games, it looks as though the
two teams will be we'll backed, and
backing is what every team needs

CLAIMS DEMOCRATS
LACK FIGHT ISSUES
Editor Sees No Reason to Elect
Either La Toilette or
Davis.

There never was campaign so
destitute of issues, looking at the sit
uatton from the Democratic party's
viewpoint, w. Hoff Seely, magazine
editor, declared at a Republican din
ner given by the American Associa-
tfon OF University Women at 1924
street last night. Mr.. Seely ridiculed
the actions of the Democratic and
Progressive candidates in their efforts
to pick flaws in the Republican ad-
ministration. He praised John w.
Davis integrity and ability, but said
ne felt sorry that Davis should shoul-
der the burden of a fruitless effort.
La toilette is radical, he said.
and even should he occupy the White
House there need be no fears enter
tained, as the common sense of the
American people will not tolerate any
of his radical ideas. Misstatements
and misinterpretation of facts were
responsible for the following which
Ia roulette seems to have, he de-
clared, and IL the Senator is elected
1t will be through subterfuge.
Referring to the League or Nations
question, Mr.. Seely said he hoped the
time would never come when the
United States would have a prescrip-
.ion written by any other country
teiling IL now to conduct it's affairs.
He attributed the large number
OF automobiles and other Iuxuries en-
1oyed by the laboring classes to the
Republican party's protective tariff.
He used comparative figures of Eng
land and the United States to show
the fallacy of a low tariff

McADOO SAYS DAVIS ELECTION
MEANS PROSPERITY FOR ALL
Former Secretary, in First Campaign address, Says
Democrats Viii Alter Tariff and
Punish Crafters.

Government and are not punished.
John w. Davis will see that they are
punished. He Is a great lawyer. he
is a progressive man. If 1t be Davis
and Bryan, 1t will mean that these
men are not only prosecuted for their
crimes against the Government. but
are punished for their great offenses
against the State"
Cheers rose from the crowd, when.
after a shrill locomotive whistle
had drowned out his voice, Mr.. NC
Adoo said smilingly:
Il know none of the engineers on
those trains are Republicans or i
would think they were trying to
break up this speech"
Mr.. McAdoo disgressed from his talk
on national politics and delivered a
glowing tribute to William A. Ayers,
Democratic candidate for Congress
from the eighth congressional district
of Kansas.
Turning to the Democratic national
convention in New York, the former
Treasury Secretary declared he was
greatly touched by the loyal support
which the Kansas delegation gave to
him and said he valued 1t more than
the presidency Of the United States.
In closing Mr.. McAdoo said that
whatever happens at this election, /
trust it will bring prosperity and
contentment to the laboring men and
ito the farmers and to the great masses
of people of this country, and l hope
that YOU will get your share of it in
the next four years"
Mr.. McAdoo said that because of
his weakness from the recent opera
tion he did not believe that he would
make any other addresses on his trip
to the coast. He was accompanied
by his wife and two daughters.

NEWTON, Kans.. October 2s.-Sup
port of John w. Davis, Democratic
presidential nominee and his running
mate. Gov. Charles w. Bryan of Ne
braska, was urged by William G. Nc
Adoo, former Secretary of the Treas
ury, in an address here late yester-
day. The address, delivered from the
rear platform of a train en- route to
director general of the railroads has
made since recent major operation.
Attacking the high protective tariff
of the Republican admin istrations on
the ground that it was enacted
primarily for the benefit of the big
business and for the big men of the
country" Mr.. McAdoo declared that
to have steady and continued prog
ress in Government you will vote for
Davis and Bryan. who not only repre-
sent the principle of low tariff, but
who. in applying that principle, mean
to apply it in such a way that it is
not going to destroy good business
but see that business and agriculture
get a square deal.
Issue of Tariff.
IF YOU want high tariff for four
more years, you will vote for Cool
idge, but if you want a tariff upon a
reasonable basis you will vote your
undivided support for John w. Davis"
said Mr. McAdoo.
There is another thing which you
can get by electing Davis and Bryan
1t is bringing prosecution to those
men who commit crime against the

plan" he said.
President Coolidge was described by
the Secretary as "a man of consistent
purpose, one not to be stamped or
frightened, not one-sided or bent by
ambition, but conscientious, deter
mined, deliberate, with the caution of
long experience, calm in the midst of
vexatious demands, the sort Of a man
this Nation needs as President"
Ovation to Roosevelt.
When Mr.. Hughes spoke the name
Of Theodore Roosevelt, eulogizing the
late President, the anniversary of
whose birth was observed today, as
"one of the most luxurious patriots
and statemen in our history" the
audience applauded loudly.
Defending the results of the Wash
inEton conference against recent at
tackS of John w. Davis, the Secretary
declared that if Mr.. Davis lis op-
posed to agreements for limitation of
armament" he should stand before
the country as favorinG a wasteful
and unnecessary competition in arms"
'If he favors Limitation of arma-
ment,' said Mr.. Hughes. then let
him give the credit that is
due the Washington conference"
