Mothers OF The Nation

1t is being realized increasingly
that Americas future and that Of
the world depend largely upon the
Christian home. Since the hope of
the nation rests upon it's youth,
there is no real hope for the coun-
try unless its homes are filled with
earnest, devout, Christian mothers.
NO one can aDpraise the life and ac-
complishments of the worlds great
est men without paying great trib-
ute to their mothers.
In whatever phase of our nation
al life children of women have de-
voted their lives, mothers have de-
termined the spirit and devotion of
their service or borne the heaviest
burden when shot and she'll express
ed the nations determination. The
need was never greater than today
Tor strong personalities who, from
their youth uD. have had thrown
about them those Christian virtues
which form the basis of good
craftsmanship.

east, then south by west. The Old
SOW comes in from some far off fen
or brake; eight piglets cutely tod
ding in her wake. Yes, with the
thermometer at 90 there should be
no mistake about it. The motorlst
shoves his wheezy lizzy down the
road; making more dust and speed
at every goad. He's just got to get
somewhere and probably he will, II
things turn out as expected and he
takes a spill. He missed all the
beauties of nature cause of his
mania for speed, and now he's miss

Yes, it appears to be really here
with it's beauties, joys, thrills ana
excitements.-- Owing to change OF
circumstances, ElWood George and
family Of whom it was announced
they would move to Richard Trott
farm in Bristol township, will not
do so, but will probably locate in

the usual effort to improve the ap-
pearance of the Reinersville ceme-

condition, would appreciate any out

as a resident on the farm within
the confines of Manchester township,
where he died. He was a highly
respected citizen, leading a life of
yived in the home by his wife, Mrs
Estella Smith Foster. With his
death passed almost the last of a
masculine generation that in it's
ascendency, and supremacy labored
and existed in a social and business
atmosphere strangely apart from
this era.

that the judges had to give them
the first prize for both evenings.
In view of the fact that the Nc
Connelsville boys took the first prize
in both amateur contests, the judg-
es, all Of whom were from Marietta,
could not stand it to see any more
first prizes leave the town. so our
exhibit, by far the best there in
popular opinion, only rated a second
prize ribbon.
The first night of the show 70
boys from McConnelsville attended,
while the second night there were
|27 there. Aside from our regular
work there, the boys ran the con-
cession BOOTH and the first aid dem

REMEMBER TO BE THANKFUL

We are about to celebrate another Thanksgiving Day
and surely, the most humble among us have man,
things for which to be thankful.
True we still have many, many things for which
hope and work but conditions in general much BEL
ter economically to-day than they were year BUS
Hcss improving rapidly; the factories putting larger
numbers OF to work; money is in circulation;
and welfare relief are gradually diminishing
Furthermore the election is over; the people Of the
nation returned President Roosevelt office and en-
dorsed his New DEAL policies by such overwhelming
vote of confidence forecast brilliant business era
for the next four years.
The people of country settle down to the
task of restoring still greater prosperity the United
States forgetful of all political chickering's and agitation
and with but objective in vew-the building of q
greater America in which there will be work for all who
want to work. and all citizens given equal protection
opportunity under the laws of the land
AS racial group, we have many disadvantages; but
let not overlook the advantages and opportunities
enjoy; and above all let give thanks struggle for
better things.
