THANKSGIVING

In all things give thanks" 1
TheSS. V, 18.
At times some are like spoilt
children, crying. ''gimmie. gim-
miel", but never thank.
Noah, after his deliverance
from the deluge. offered sacri-
flee of every clean beast and
fowl; Job thanked God in his af-
flictions. Different nations and
creeds, even pagans, set aside a
fixed time for thanksgiving.
There are some persons IN this
day and other times who are
mere churchgoers, worshipping
God, but not loving their neigh
Dor. In the Old and New Testa-
ment God says, Il viii have
mercy and not sacrifice" In
fluential people should labor that
every workman can receive a
living wage. Others should help
the Red Cross. ......r..
To aid the poor let US make a
sacrifice of some luxury, e. &. a
movie, a few sweets or cigarettes,
at times rouge, etc. A generous
person viii give up some comfort
until it hurts.
1t is proper to eat a hearty
meal on Thanksgiving, but if we
spy some hungry Lazarus. LET us
give him the gobler's drumstick-
In the slums we'll find some chill
dren ragged and barefooted. to
whom we might give a saucer of
plum pudding or chocolates with
which they could camouflage
their smutty mouths. If not sick
ly or starved, they will Utter and
scream with JOY and gladden. our
hearts.
The poorest can help others,
caring for the sick or with kind
words cheering the sorrowful.
Another practical way of
thanking God is to obey the
nations laws and to make known
Red or Fascists spies trying to
ruin our Democracy.

of law, acquired at Southwestern
University at Georgetown, Tex,
the University of Texas, and
practice in Amarillo. He came
with knowledge of farming ac-
quired through years when he
worked shoulder to shoulder

With this knowledge. a friendly
disposition, a prediction for re-
search, and reputation for being
one of the most laconic members
of Congress when not on his feet
on the floor of the House fight
ing for some measure, Jones ham,
mered his way to the top of the
congressional heap.
For nine years, he has been
chairman of the committee on
agriculture, has been one of the
Presidents most trusted advisers
on all farm problems, and has
steered through the House almost
every important piece of the
present administrations farm
legislation. In 1886, he carried
much of the load in campaigning
for the Presidents reelection in
the farm belt.
But it wasn't only for that that
his colleagues were singing his
praises the other day. 1t was for
those qualities which have en-
deared him to friend and political
enemy alike. One may be illus
trated by an event in the House
in 1886, when messenger stun

information that the supreme
court had declared the Agricul-

one way of taking defeat that

Another characteristic - his
habit of turning serious state

illustrated by a quote from his
