We hope the King of Kngland recovers rapidly. The J'rince of Wales is having too good a time to worry with being king. l- It's all right to have a fad, but some folks will think it vas just u little bit extreme when a Chicago citizen left his family an estate consisting entirely of $2,000 worth of fishing rods and tackle. Maybe Lindy has hopped to New York to meet Miss Mor ow. Maybe this. Maybe that. Isn't it too bad that a puln lie personage is so pried about that he can't even fall in t r out of love without the whole darned country knowing about it ? ONE AN(;U0 OF THANKSGIVING With the very common practice of reviewing those things for which we should be thankful, either individually or col lectively, we are impressed with the fact that America has one possession tliit is rttth'er VIiai 'to the people of this country and one that would stir the other nations of the world to fervent observation or inauguration of Thanks giving days if it could only be transferred to them. Unrealized and unappreciated by most of us from one 'year's end to the other is this American peculiarity to which we could well afford to give special attention on any day of thankfulness. It is the gradual elimination of poverty from America. Interpreted in .nminv Mm .. it ;.. t onvey the wime mwiiiintr, it is states. K. e .... iiij uriu, in cwiii.-se, uiiiiHK have reached that happy point fied and contented with material things of life. No one thinks that there in any coin imtues in neen in warm cioines ana a proieciing roof tree. Hut nt e, on the other hand, can deny the fact thai al ject poverty that was represented a ni'iieration ajro in .millions of miserable men, women and children, dying; of jjtarvalion and exposure and utter waul that this poverty as it was commonly conceived has been banished very largely from the knowledge and experience of men in our America. The occasional needy cases are but exceptions that prove the tremendous wealth and earning power of the great mass of people in this country as evidenced in the commonness of radios, of home ownership, of automobiles, of savings ac counts, of education. Anyone who has seen the poverty- of .-foreign countries, the standard of living that permits mil lions to have only the bare necessities, can only be astounded tit the progress America lias made toward the complete tltstruction of poverty. ; Contemplated thoughtfully, what could be more won derful, what could be more keenly sought in government and in business than the utter elimination of poverty in a nation? And what could be more provocative of thank fulness than the realization that we, as a nation and as indi viduals, have come nearer that ideal than any other people? SALMON! SALMON!

" mm Thanksgiving Day 1628 - 1928 Three hundred years has not changed the fact that Thriftiness and Thankfulness go hand in hand to gether. The Pilgrims of long ago had been energetic and saving. They had worked hard and had laid aside some of the fruits of their toil. They established a Thanksgiving and devoted a week to its observance as a tribute to a kind Provi dence and as a lesson for themselves. Today the people who are most truly thankful and who have the greatest right to be thankful as were the Pilgrims of three centuries ago are those who practice thrift and rght living in a similar way. Thankfulness and Thriftiness are always found in company with each other. Member Federal Reserve "Forty-first Year Lest You Forget One-Fourth Off On Coats or Dresses In Our Entire Store N. K.
