THANKSGIVING President Wilson in his Thanksgiving proclamation makes no attempt to recount the specific things for which the nation at this time has cause to be grateful. Had he particularized, doubtless he would have given .the result , . , ., . , . i . i j-i ot tne second Jjiueny loan a prominent pmcc- uuiuujiuuw things for which the nation should be thankful. For the great result of the second Liberty loan cam paign, with nearly 10,000,000 Americans rallying-to the financial support of the nation and subscribing over four and a half billion dollars for the purchase of Liberty loan bonds, is a cause for deep thanksgiving in the heart of ,every loyal American. President Wilson says the nation should bo thankful that we have been given the opportunity to serve mau ikind as we once served ourselves in the great day of our declaration of independence by taking up arms against the tyranny that threatened to master and debase men every where. So, .too, can all subscribers to the Liberty loan e thankful that they have been given an opportunity to ii'ul in this great mission of America and have done their part toward giving to the world liberty and .justice! and seem it.y from the tyranny that threatens to master and debase all nations and all men. Every purchaser of a Liberty loan bond has struck a Mow for human liberty and for civilization and humanity. Let them remember this on Thursday, the 20th day of November, and be thankful. o THE I5FAUT1 FUL GkANl)K ROND1C The Observer, through the kindness of Jap II.

Therefore, while Henry Ford always pays good wages, higher than the market, he gets a greater product per dollar than most other employers. It looks simple, doesn't it? L. K. HARLAN In the death of L. K. Harlan The Observer feels a distinct loss. He had joined The Observer staff to take charge of the mechanical department. He was an all around newspaper man, an editor as well as a practical printer. He had the' reputation of being the best printer in Eastern Oregon. He was not only a fast linotype operator, hut also an artistic, job compositor and a fine pressman with a rare instinct for the combination of col ors, type and paper to produce neat, unusual and pleasing effects. And above all he was active, quick and energetic and loyal to his employes. Such a man is hard to replace. To Mrs. Harlan and family The Observer staff extend their deep sympathy. o THE DIFFERENCE The difft renee between America and the Kaiser is this: America executes a soldier for a fiendish crime; the Kaiser applauds and honors a soldier who 'commits a crime, no matter how atrocious, so long as it is against the enemv.

La Grande National Bank Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON Trying t'l Sleep There ought to be some sort of law, for bidding noises rank and raw, at night, when people would repose, and do some snoring through the nose. At 10 o'clock 1 sonk my head and straightway toddle off to bed, and hope to give my life new xest by having one good slice of rest. An old gray cnt prowls round my shack and splits the welkin up the back. Joy riders scout along .the street and raise pink thunder and repeat. A young man with a cheap guitar comes singing where the damsels are, and their aoocie is just next door how can a weary mortal snre? The milkman's wagon jolts along; the milkman smites his brazen gong and makes the night a discord fierce, while selling cowjuice by the tierce. And now a dog lets out a wail; there's tinware fastened to its tail, an.l like a shot I hear it scorch beneath my open sleeping porch. All through the night the uproar goes; one must be dead to find repose, and when at dawn I leave my couch, I have a large and lasting grouch, my head is sore benenth my tile, and I forget to sing and smile.
