Commemorating the day of thanks is a national trait of the American people. It is never forgotten, and it is never indifferently observed. No matter how humble or obscure a person may be, there is always something for which thanks may be given. The president has designat ed Thursday, Nov. 27th, as Thanksgiving Day, and has exhorted the people to render grateful homage to the source from which all blessings flow. The Divine Being bestows His blessings in many ways, We are fed up on war, and strikes, and profiteering, and the many other wat-nots of the day. We are surfeited with the and in various degrees, but al- complaints and the grievance.? ways as He in His infinite wis dom deems best. We may marvel, but it is not for us to question. Although our country is torn with dissensions, and rum blings are everywhere, we yet have much for which to give thanks. Our men have returned from the fields of war, un daunnted in spirit, unchecked in the march of victory. Some have not returned, but the mark of a hero is above every grave. Our fields have yielded bounteous harvests and our factories have given generous ly of their products. Money has been plentiful and but little distress has been found. Sickness has been at the min imum and the death rate has tu en small. With the world in a tur moil, we of America retain yet even a small measure of tranquility, with the hope rearing its head as a beacon light of he future. Let us give thanks for the blessings we have enjoyed, with the hope that when an other Thanksgiving arrives with the cycle of time peace may abide with us all. WE COULD, BUT WE WON'T of mankind. The milk of human kindness has curdled and the benevol ence of charity has vanished. We need a change. We need a little joy in life We need to remember that there is a right and a wrong a justice and an injustice a straight and narrow path, and one as crooked as the hairy legs of the devil. What a world this would be if we could all make a change if we could dig out the Gold en Rule and place its tenets above avarice and greed, above suspicion and abuse. We could bask in the sun shine of life and watch tho clouds roll harmlessly by. We could see us a people of supermen, guided by the teachings of brotherly love in stead of by those of conquest and annexation. And we could see the light of joy in every heart, in every home. We could but we won't. ifie DOG .1155, See our line of Hardware While Attending the Fair. Conn Brothers. i it?

Greater production is a cry ing need of tho day, and be cause of the devastation in Europe the bulk of this burden falls upon America. We must increase our pro duction. We must feed the world and we must eat at the same time. We must furnish the imple ments of cultivation and manu facture, and we must have them for our own use. Great er production alone can do this Future disagreements be tween capital and labor should be settled "out of court" in other words, without recourse to the paralyzing results of a strike. Surely the government and congress can devise some tri bunal which will have the authority to settle all disputes and enforce its decisions on both sides alike, doing equal justice to all and injustice to none.

Through this medium, we wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of our loving wife and grand-mother. Especially do we wish to thank Rev, Frank N. Tinder, and Mr. It. N. Beazley for the way in which they conducted the funeral and burial services. Mr. George Garner and The Grand-children.

Increased advertising rates and reduction in the size of newspapers were urged today by Franklin P. Glass, of Iiirm inghnm, Ala., president of the Ameri can Newspaper Publishers' Associa tion at a special meeting here to con sider the newsprint shortage. "Every paper", he said, "should agree to cut down its average num ber of pages, both week-day and Sun day, by a considerable percentage and hold down its advertising volume to a fixed number of pages. "Radical advances should be made in advertising rates. The percent age of increase should be such that they will hold back the sluice of ad vertising that has poured into our offices and bids fair to continue dur ing the next year." Declaring that English newspapers during the war reduced their size by one-third, but so advanced rates that most of them earned more that be fore the war, Mr. Glass said; "It is plain that proper restriction of advertising space will not work any financial hardship here. If the situation is not met with co operation and sacrifice," ha said, "it is certain that weaker papers will be forced to suspend. The fault is not with the mills. They have maintain ed a 100 per cent production, per haps mbre than normal. We cannot look to them for prompt relief. We must depend upon ourselves." Mr. Glass said newspaper adrer Using rates nluays have been too low and an advance of "5 or 30 per cent would not be enough because cost of production had increased 100 per cent in the last year. NEWSPAPERS Are Facing Greatest Crisis In History. S. S. Carvalho, one of the best known newspaper men in the United States, and formerly the general manager of all the Hearst publica tions, stated in a recent interview that newspapers are facing the great est crisis in the history of the indus try. He said that -0 per cent more paper is being used than is manufac tured; that high prices are inevitable, and that paper stocks are' already at the danger line, Mr. Carvalho bases the increased price of paper on the four following things: "First The labor cost per ton on white paper is now $20 ngainst $10 four years ago. "Second It takes one ton of coal to make one ton of paper and coal at the mill has practically doubled in price. "Third Tho haul on pulp wood is growing greater each year; likewise tho freight charges. "Fourth The six to nine cent markets of Europe, South America and Australia are now asking for Canada and United States paper," Before the war tho price of paper was given little consideration by pub lishers in figuring publication costs. Today it is a very important item. The only way to meet the advance is for publishers to secure better ad vertising and subscription rates, the only sources of revenue.
