Throushouithe length and breadth ol ttU treat In ii J. people of all creeds are In a mood today to return thanks for the good things that come to them from the hands of a bountiful Fath er. Never before have the croj r. beta to abundant, nor the quality better. For Bomu. the yield In grain uvi fruit will be the greatest blessing; for others the successful Issue of u pet enterprise: for others the return of lintlth, the finding of a good pjiition or the raising of a mortgage. ' These are Individual blessings an ere for the one affected the greate-- occasion for thanks. In a broad national way, the coun try has prospered In an unusual man ner. Business has increaeds wonder fully: steel mills have more order than they ran fill; railroads arc short In cars to handle the unusual crops, and the wheels of Industry are spin ning over time In spite of the presi dential election. For Democrats the overthrow of the Republican regime, is one of this year's achievements. 16 years of slle.it looking on whilst the Republican were gobbling up all the government pies, with Just a handout occasional ly to make them the hungrier, is enough to make even the most phleg matic disciple of Jefferson and JadO eon get down on his knee cat) am' thank the Lord for the entrance Into the promised. To the adherents of Hamilton the saving grace of defeating the head or a new party must be number one on the side of half loaf blessings. To the head and leaders of a new part". the polling of an Immense vote will be an Incentive to thank the "uler of the universe for staving off ruin, hikI Inspiring the party in power with th - fear of defeat four years hence. Id a negative way, all who hav i seen the actualities of war, or who possess sufficient Imagination to pic ture to themselves the evil coiisa niiences of conflict will have abund ant reason to I hank the Ruler of Destinies for preserving this nation. No gruesome spectre of death In tho nature of pestilence or epidemic, swung a destructive scythe among lis. Local accidents and unruly ele ments have visited sections of th-) country, but abundance of help from all parts-of the union, generously con tributed have 'quickly healed all wounds and alleviated suffering. Appreciation to be very effectivs chould spend Itself Ml those whole efforts aid us and keep us from want. la this liberty-loving country of our where parental control Is limine ground, the young are prone to forg.H that we owe life to father nnd mothe. It's a homely thought. But only af ter the young themselves are compel led to shoulder the burdens of parent" hood, does the immensely tedious dtitv of guiding young minds and. re' force Itself upon them and compel thera to thoughts of grateful retro spect and sincere thanks. A feehl.' old mother, whose energy spent Itself Id an effort to rear a useful citizen, cannot but be the object of grateful consideration.

Tomorrow afternoon the youthfui minds of the eighth grade girls of one! of the . local schools will gropple in deadly contest to determine whethe. civilization owes more to the sworj or more to the spade.. Each side ' willing to concede that without the ! spade, the sworn would be swinging In the lusty ana of some romanti': knight, shielding and vindicating the honor of Borne air damsel. The Spader contend that when men and women are busy digging, contracting soi 3 backs, blistering hands and makliiK Mother Earth whether or no, contri bute to the keeping together of bod." and soul, they will forget all abour the sword, until rust, red eating rust, consigns it to the Junkheap or thj museum of curiosities. If these ambitious Athenians forget the fact that sword and spade typify two widely differene fields of activity that warfare,, symbolized by the common weapon of defense, the sworl and constructive activity In produc ing things for consumption Is allego--Ized In the spade the Spades ar I bound to win, because there are Ion? spades and short spades, round one'i and flat ones, everywhere In evidence. Swords are the equipment of cav alrymen and lodgemen and are less seldom seen. In the former Instance they are deadly weapons, when right ly handed (which Is an art) In thi latter they are mere ornaments. Allowing that these mighty debateis will be able to see In the sword the surgeon's knife, the nnrseyman'c pruning shears, and all kinds of in struments used for cutting away tu morous growth, vicious practices in a physical and moral sense, not forget ting the grent guns of destruction used In actual warfare for the pur pose of equalizing selfish tendencies grown to a mighty volume, the Spad ers will realize that putting a double edged sword In the hands of the God dess of Justice, means as much, and always will menu as much, as the balance in her other hand. They will Hot feel so cocksure about the out come of the debate, unless they., buy off the judges. The subject is a big one and has warmed the biggest minds of philo sophers. The youthful participants who are for Spades are the Miss C. Ethel Vletz, Ilelva Hamilton and Etil el Thomas. The contenders for the sword are the 'Misses Mary Newlln, Dorothy Meyers and Irene O'Connell A letter appearing In the Y. M. C. A. column today tells the story of why such an organization Is needed In I.a Grande and draws a complete illustration of the benefits derived from a thorough-going Y. M. C. A. Almost' every city the size of I.u Grande now has such an Institution. Doubtless when the time comes ;o promote a home for the present or ganlzutloii in I-a Grande those In charge will be surprised with whit ease the result Is accomplished. For a time I.a (Jamie had no public li brary. It took one man a newcom er, by the way to add the final tour.i that started the enterprise and now the city library Is a going concern ami well patronized. The same will proV ably prove true with a Y. M. C. A. 000 oo 1triuifes. $!,! imimi..i J. ii rut ii. loe I'rcOilrnt I. 1(1. MU L, AVt (ashler RErXElTliO.M 0- TiiAkNSGlVJAt DAT. Many of us get the Inspiration tr return thanks after the donor U dead.
