THANKSGIVING DAY.

or all the days set apart in the In ted States for special observance perhaps is so significant of the fundamental character of Am ericans a nation is Thanskgving which people observe tomorrow For the bless ings have received, the good things we have enjoyed, for the evils which have been spared us, people and a nation the thanks rendered this occasion to the Greater of the Universe instinetive. This quality of return ing thanks is not the least of Americas national traits and on this day annually the service with which the American people signalize it, is not lip-serFice but comes from the depths of ther hearts in grateful acknowledgement of the con tinned guidance of an sii-wise Providence If people We have ths year been visited with some disasters of more than ordinary mas ntude. yet is state of material and spiritual wel-being further advanced than it registered when last the festival of Thanksgiving ob- served. Never in history have q people been prosperous. In all the history of the world there is record of any other people having reached plane of living com parable to that in the United States at the pres cnt time. It is meet that turn to God in acknowledgement for these things
 Juneau, too, has prosperod during the past year. If all of it's dreams have not been real ized some of them have become actualites and as a community have been spared from serious vistations of disease, economic disasters and private and public misfortunes. The past has not been unkind, rather the reverse, and the future is brighter with promises of material prosperity than have known for many years. For these blessings let tomorrow devoutly and sincerely offer thanks to the Giver of All Good.

The Census in Turkey.
(New York World.D


 In Turkey they have just taken a census. And because of special problems that arose in con nection with it. it necessary to compel the whole population 10 remain in their houses for la day until the count completed Thus ac- cording to the despatces. Constantinople was like city of the dead transportation was running no crowds to be seen on the streets the Bosporus, usually so busy, lay still in the sunlight it's many craft appearing like so many painted ships upon painted ocean. And somehow cannot help wondering what New York would be like if the same method were employed when the agents of the Secretary of iState fare forth with notebooks in their hands. The subways would be still there would be no newspapers for sale. the ferry-boats would be securely tied up at their docks there would be no traffic lights, for the simple reason that there would be traffic.
 But would it really be calamity? There would be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth the Coney Island Chamber of Commerce would probably pass resolutions if 1t were summer time or the theatrical managers if it were winter time But taking one consideration with an other such a day might do New York good At least it would give a number of our leading citl- zens a chance to get acquainted with their families.

gertised in the magazines, father can't see why he doesn't have a little more chance to get his nose off the grandstone. When widower and widow marry, he hears lot about what , perfect man her first husband was. but the reason she doesn't listen to him sing the praises of his first wife is because he dis covered on his original venture the wisdom of keeping his mouth shut.
 Somehow it is hard to imagine this younger generation ever reaching an age when it will eat spinach and carrots because they are good for it.
 It's funny. but an ordinarily kind husband can feel more like a brute for refusing to let his wife get an expensive gown they ant afford than bully does when he beats his up.

SHOULD ACT PROMPTLY Y


 Official warning has been issuel from Wash lington that in little more than 30 days the time that World War veterans have in which to apply
 for adjusted compensation certificates will expire.
 It is estimated that approximately 5OO,0OO eligible veterans have not yet made application. Those
 who are interested should remember that the final date for filing for the bonus certificates is fixed for the first day of next January. It should be noted, also that those who do not make app- cation for filing before January l, 1928. will lose all benefits accrung to veterans under the Federal adjusted compensation act. The Ameri- can Legion organization nationally and it's local posts, has been doing everything in it's power to forward this matter and to get all those lined ID wha are entitled to adjusted pay However. s3nie q those entitled to such compensation seem f5 nave taken little interest in the matter p8, eras a#na.ion probably has caused some of them to delay They should wake up and get busy, since after the first of next year it will be teo late.
