Farm Machinery
In County Will
Undergo Repairs

To keep every farm machine in
Ashe county in top-notch condi-
ton and place every disable piece
of equipment in shape is vitality
necessary if this county is to do
it's part in the 1912 Farm Defense
Program, declares c. ]. Rich,
chairman of the county USDA
Defense Board.
With the manufacture Of new
machinery and equipment in 1912
sharply curtailed because of de-
Tense demands on supplies of
steel, copper and other metals,
farmers will have to depend more
upon existing machinery, Mr.. Rich
explained. In addition to the scar
city of new equipment, farmers
may find the available farm Ia
Dor limited in 1912.
Any difficulty in obtaining parts
or materials needed for the re-
pair of farm machinery should be
reported Immediately to the coun-
ty USDA Defense Board, said Mr.
Rich.
The Board will attempt to help
the farmer or the dealer obtain
the needed article. Some local or
temporary shortages may deve-
lop because of unusual demand
for certain replacement parts, but
manufacturer will be able to Sc
cure sufficient metals to produce
the necessary parts. ALLEGATIONS
of steel and other metals will be
made manufacturers in order to
meet the requirements, provided
farmers do not wait until spring
to place their orders.

We Give Thanks!

To settle all of the confusion about some
states celebrating Thanksgiving on one
Thursday and others on another Thursday,
maybe we should hereafter have two
Thanksgivings in all states.
This year, at least, Americans have so
many things to be thankful for that it
1night we'll require two days to do an ade-
quate job of giving thanks.
Perhaps one Thursday should be devoted
to giving thanks for our personal blessings
and the other for our country-for its free
dom, it's riches, it's production capacity and
the genius of its leaders.
However, the question of date has been
definitely settled for next year. All states
will observe Thanksgiving in 1912 on the
last Thursday in November This year there
are 20 states that are observing Thanksg1V-
ing TODAY and the rest next Thursday. Mon
tana is the only state in the union that IS
planning to observe both dates this year.
The Virginias are also celebrating today,
while South Carolina has chosen the 9th.
When we compare America with any
other country in the world, it seems as
though God has showered us with favors
which have been denied to all other peo
pie. Practically anything you can think of
food, housing, raw materials, comfort
gold, education freedom, churches we
have in greater abundance than any other
nation.
Thanksgiving is the time for us to reflect
on these blessings and to pledge ourselves
to their preservation.
Throughout the world today millions Of
people are looking to America with envy
and with hope The unfortunate people of
Europe and Asia see our country as the
nearest thing to heaven on earth-and they
also see us as the one nation which has the
strength the morale and vision needed to
make the world of the future better place
to live in.
A world made up of countries like Ameri-
ca is the dream of all other peoples. We
should thank God that we happen to be
part Of this great free nation and ask God
to help us in the major role which we have
assumed in spreading the gospel of freedom
and christianity to all of mankind.
