teal months just ahead, when
inflationary pressures will be the
greatest, chairman Coward said.
Grocers are sponsoring the cam
paign, the chairman said. be-
cause they realize that runaway
food prices would result in chao-
tic business conditions, even
worse, perhaps, than those ex-
perienced here following the last
war.
A district meeting on the spec
ial price control program was held
at Lenoir last Friday, when a
number of local people attended
and heard the program discussed.
Among those who attended were
L. P. Coward, w. B. Tribble, Mrs.
Levern Johnson, Miss Helen Shat

Earl Davidson, Miss Ruby Barker,
Mrs. Guy Denny and Mrs. Ed M.

extra workers whom we normally
recruited to handle the swollen
Christmas volumn of mail were
able to work long hours of over
time and to do heavy work. This
cannot be expected from the wom-
en- and high schol boys and girls
to whom in large part we must
look this year to meet the situa-
ton.
''The way in which everyone re-
sponded to making it possible for
us to handle a volumn of 100000
600 parcels for the armed forces
overseas leaves no doubt in my
mind that the November Christ
mas mailing will be equally sue
cessful. l ask for the help of the
press, radio, business advertisers,

making it possible for the Postal
Service to do it's work.

mittee to choose Santa and to see
that he was equipped to greet the
children and serve them with
candy or peanuts.
Parents from this entire section
are cordially invited to visit West
Jefferson and bring the children
to do their Christmas shopping
here.
In discussing the Christmas
shopping season the merchants
pointed out that while there was
a shortage in some gift merchan-
disc, that there was plenty of
practical, disable, wearable gifts
that the public would be inter-
ested in. The public is asked to
cooperate in this and to remem-
Der there are many substitutes in
times of war.
The merchants decided to re-
main open later at night for the
convenience of shoppers, Christ

The district has submitted to the
Soil Testing Division approx
mately 5000 soil samples which
have been analized from chemi-
cal standpoint. In all but a few
cases the soil has been found to
be deficient in lime, phosphate
and potash. This is especially
true of soil in pastures and mea-
dows. These tests show that if
we are to expect maximum pro-
duction we shall have to add to
the soil liberal amounts of lime,
phosphate and potash.

1922 Thanksgiving 1914

Our observance of Thanksgiving this
year shares MANY ikenesses with the Pill
grims historic first Thanksgiving. We do
not face the crudities of living experienced
by our forefathers, but we again have been
made to realize, as they did, the dignity and
worth of human existence. Like they did,
we too are making tremendous sacrifices
for the ideals in which we believe.
1t is strange Thanksgiving There will
be many tables with empty places. There
will be many tables without the accustomed
turkey because turkeys have gone to war
too. But the nation will unite at this sea-
son and voice prayer for those things we
do have: the safety of the country, the
progress we have made abroad since last
year, and the hope that the empty places
at the table soon will be filled again.
The first Thanksgiving was triumphal
day for the Pilgrims. They had endured
hunger, disease heavy loss of life and the
hazards of New England winter. AS
second perilous winter approached, they
carried on and gave thanks May we face
our misfortunes and our gains with the
courage and humble gratefulness so char
acteristic of those who first set aside day
for Thanksgiving.

Keeping christmas

AS the: Christndas season approaches it
is time to.begin to make preparations for it.
And yet there are people, who in feeling

ing it as we have in the days Of yore, but
everyone should observe Christmas in the
right spirit. If the sorrow, suffering, loss
and brutality of war and fear of forces now
dominating certain parts of this world
make you doubt the spirit of Christmas, it
is time to pause and consider the real
