CHICAGO, February 13.-Better

Predictions were made Of shortage

The worlds statistical position for

Nat G. Murray, one Of the leading
specialists In forecasting grain produc-

traders hopes have been increased by
prospects that the new crop year will
start with smaller stocks and lessened
production.
World supplies of wheat are much
lower than year ago, Murray believes.

A congressional committee, 1nvesti-

troubles spread over the country. Gar

silk weaverS in Paterson; copper miners
in Michigan left their jobs. In Pater-

lence and brutality. In Michigan there
was serious rioting and the entire Ma
tional| Guard of the State was called
out. Labor throughout the country
was restive and apprehenSive. Con-
servative folk and the established trades
unions were alarmed by the growing
influence of that anomalous organiza-

Panic Strikes in 1893.
Turn back to Thanksgiving day 20
years earlier. The mood of the country
then was unqualif1edly black. Grover
Cleveland had begun his second admin
istration, and for the first time since
1859 the Democratic party controlled
the Executive and both Houses of Con-
gress. The previous year had witnessed
the bloody strike at Homestead and
strikes of miners in the West. Federal
troops had been used against the strik-
ers. Labor was in an ugly mood. And
SO were the farmers.
The Columbian Exposition at Chicago
opened in a blaze of glory. Seven
weeks later the country was plunged
into the most extensive business de-
preston it had yet experienced The
panic of 1893 produced all the effects
which We have been observing during
the last four years. Bank failures and
bankruptcies. the virtual cessation of
activity in many lines of industry, un-
employment and destitution etched the
grim outlines of economic disaster. The
gold reserve Of the Nation was being
drained, silver declined in value and
the Western States were paralyzed

THIS year most Of us will observe
Thanksgiving in a new spirit
1t will probably occur to us that
L we are thereby departing from
tradition. For, to majority OF
Americans, the holiday has become as
sociated with the celebration of national
prosperity, material welfare, economic
security, the plenty symbolized by a
heavily laden table; popular tradition
has made these the chief sources Of our
gratitude.
Popular tradition has misrepresented
the facts. AS we are likely TO forget,
Thanksgiving had its origin in narrow
escape from calamity. 1t was dedicated
not to the celebration of plenty, but to
gratitude for the slender margin by
which famine and death had been
averted 1t commemorated dark hour,
when life hung in the balance until
meager harvest assured future existence

would go on They were the first Amer

giving seems to offer a striking parallel.
hardship. Disaster has threatened us;
we have escaped it narrowly. However
perplexing the future may appear, at
least we are certain that there will be
one. The parallel is impressive, and
our mood this Thanksgiving Day must
be as earnest as that of the New Eng
harvest festival into a service of divine
uNrShin glance
through our history would remove any
detection from our mood. Contrary to
popular belief, it has all happened be-
fore We are not the neglected step
children of Providence. Thanksgiving
in 1888 will be remarkably like many
another Thanksgiving in the past.
Look Back Before War.
All of us, except the very youngest,
are likely to look back sentimentally to
the years before the war. The world
was different then, we think Life was
simpler, gentler. more secure. At any
moment the future seemed more certain.
Unbounded hope was the reasonable
privilege of all men. Faith was amply
justified; in civilization, progress and
democracy. Above all, in the fortunate
destiny of the individual American.
So, looking backward, We sometimes like
to think.
But the national mood of 20 years ago
contradictS our sentimental reminis-
cence. The year 1918, the last of that
supposedly gracious world which the
war blew into fragments, offered few
substantial grounds for enthusiasm.
Over their Thanksgiving dinner think
ing folks were probably asking serious
questions, shaking their heads pessi-
mistically And not without reason.

the fascination of the unreal that may

sure. with the chances against the

But granted that the treasure is au-
thentic and actually exists. and that
there is historic, documentary evidence
to indicate its hiding place. treasure
seeking may become a practical busi-
ness venture or an engineering prob
lem. Such. for example, is the famous
treasure of King John Lakeland of Eng

New York now is reported to be seeking.

to pay billions for relief rather than
sacrifice the American fair for taking

In all this the consumers representa-

when the vast treasure of King John
was lost. For more than 700 years the
gold and Jewels the coins and precious

ton as to their existence and their loss,
no question as to the spot where they
lie (for the facts are well known his

them has been made until now Very
largely this is the result Of the British
law which has always provided that
all treasure trove belonged to the crown.
and it is a thankleSs task to spend
