Things To Be Thankful For We suppose the first thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving is that the people who voted for a change are getting it, and that the promised prosperity insured by Harding's election is already flooding the land with soup houses and bread lines in prospect. The consumer can be thankful that the cost of living is tumbling and the producer that wages are falling. The employer can be thankful that labor is now plentiful, and the wnAman fhnf Vii'm Hnllnr ones farther. The manufacturer i. i i j Amunda, the cook, dispatched card can be thankful that the raw materials are cheaper and,board b0Xe8 Vassarward, contain- the public that the finished products COSt less.

Loganberry Laughs By Robert Qulllen. The worst feature of so cial unrest is unsocial rest. a The greatest need of the times is something we can step on to accelerate our wits. We speak of a man as be ing "dead broke" because when he is broke he might as well be dead. One more day and the great American turkey will get it where that other Turkey got it. It seems to take the bakers a long time to consume the wheat that was grown at war prices. Doubtless there are diplo mats who think of everlast ing peace as an era when the little fellows will lie still while the big fellows frisk their pockets. a A few weeks after buying a bag made of alligator hide one discovers that the alliga tor hides pasteboard. This Judge Anderson is a qauint old-fashioned party. He thinks misconduct by a high official .is misconduct. Normalcy is a state in which people look about care fully to find some dead sure thing that will pay five per cent. a a a The enthusiasm of job- hunters lor residence in Washington promises to re lieve the house shortage in other sections. A slandnatter is one who thinks the great should be respected, but may use their own judgment about being .espectable. a a a There is still pure and un adulterated love in the world. Nothing less could persuade some people to mar ry what they do. the farmer that his city supplies are at cut rates, the butcher that the slump in livestock hasn't been passed on to the consumer, and the restaurant-keeper that he still charges as much as ever. Of course the producers are not thankful for the falling off in demand, the farmer not thankful that his products can not be profitably marketed, the manufacturer not thankful for cancelled orders, the workman not thankful for scarcity of work and lower wage, and the merchant not thankful for bargain sales, but each has something to be thankful for as shown above even if all can not be satisfied. At any rate, when work was plentiful and wages sky-high, labor was never more discontented. When the consumer had his pockets full of gold, he grumbled at the high cost rf living. When orders were plentiful and profits huge, the manufacturer growled over high wages. When wheat was $2.50 the farmer went on a strike for $3. None were thank ful for prosperity and all wanted a change so they can all be thankful that they are getting it. There is however one class who are profoundly thank ful the politicians who for so long have been outside look ing in and now expect to be inside looking out. The only fly in the ointment is the scarcity of seats at the pie-counter. However, as the joy of anticipation is greater than realiza tion, and this dark side of the silver cloud is hidden, it does not mar their thanksgiving. The High Cost of Militarism The high cost of federal taxation is due solely to war. Of the $4,175,820,089 spent this year, only 12 percent or $481,744,726 goes for non-military expenditures. Sixty- height per cent, or $2,838,118,400 goes to pay for past wars, and 20 percent or $855,956,963 is spent in preparing for future wars. America has come out of the war with a huge military establishment costing the taxpayers nearly double annually what all other departments of the government cost. To maintain it will impoverish the people and plunge the nation into new wars. If we join the League of Nations, our large army and navy will be called upon by the League and if we stay out of the League, it will be a challenge to conflict sooner or later accepted. Or every dollar of taxation, only 12 cents goes to develop farm and forest, build roads, aid schools, fight disease, prorrfote human welfare, regulate commerce, enforce laws, and administer government, while the other 88 cents goes as a tribute to war. That is one of the chief causes of pres ent conditions. Before the war the United States had an army of 5,000 officers and 100,000 men. Now we have an army three times lis large 17,000 officers and 280,000 men. We are spending On the navy this year a sum greater than the entire ex penses of the government, outside the postal service fn 1916 despite the fact that we went into the war to end war. The interests of the people and the development of the country are sacrificed to pay for war, past and prospective. We cannot dodge the cost of wars past and must pay the debts incurred. But we can save materially by trimming our expenditures for future wars. There is no need of a big army and a gigantic navy, far beyond the peace requirements of the nation. The military establishment is the great waste of govern ment benefitting no one but munition, steel and supply contractors. Besides it, all other waste is infinitismal. All possible economies on the 12 cents of our dollar that goes for non-military expenditures, shrink into a negligible quan tity, even with the proposed budget system. There can be no feal economy in government, resulting in a material saving to the taxpayer as long as the nation keeps preparing for future wars at a cost double that of civil gov ernment. The first economy to be effected is disarmament or at least substantial reduction in armament. Armaments brought on the world war and have saddled the world with debt. If persisted in, they will bring on another war. Militarism has always been the curse of the world and is still cursing America. inside his house. At first Mr. Crow munk said.

T.-s.-n THE TALE, Of SANDY iC0lJ BAILEY J onlv stared1 and said nothing: And then to Sandy's astonishment he began to scold. "What's the trouble?" Sandy Chipmunk called. "Trouble?" Air. Crow oried.'as he flew down again. "There's trouble enough. Why, you haven't kept your bargain!" Sandy Chipmunk declared that he had done exactly as he had agreed. "I brought load after load of food to the foot of this tree," he explained. "Half of it I took for myself just as you suggested. Of course I had to pay Frisky Squirrel for helping me. 1 paid him h-ilf ai the food for carrying it up to your house." "That's it!" Mr. Crow cried "That's the trouble, you took half and Frisky took half. Ho of course there was no food left for ma There are two halves , in a whole, you know." "You must be mistaken," Sandy told him politely. "There's only ore half in my hole. I put it there my self, and I ought to know.' Mr. Crow looked as if he thot Sandy Chipmunk must be playing a trick on him. But pretty soon he swvf that it was not so. ! "You don't seem to understand Mr. Crow said. "I don't believe you've ever studied fractions." Sandy Chipmunk admitted that he never had. '"Afi!" Mr. Crow exclaimed. "This is what comes of hiring stu pid people to work for one. Here I have wasted all my corn. And I get nothing for it but trouble." "Corn!' San'dy Chipmunk ex claimed. "I dont know anything about any corn!" '.'Well ,you certainely are stu pid!" Mr. Crow told him crossly. "Didn't you spend the whole day gathering corn for me?" "No, indeed!" Sandy Chipmunk replied. "I gathered beechnuts, Mr Crow." "Beechnuts!" Mr. Crow repented "I never told you I wanted nuts. I'd starve trying to live on nuts; for they don't agree with me at all. And I make it a rule never to eat them. Corn is what I want."

You know, he thought that his winter's food must be in his house. And that alone is enough to make any one happy. But what Mr. Crow liked most about his bargain was the fact that he wouldn't have to pay Sandy for his work. He had said to Sandy: "I'll agree to give you natr wnat you gatner tor me. And Sandy Chipmunk had never stopped to think that that was not any pay at all. For he might have gathered the food for himself, and had all, instead of only half of it. As It was, Sandy Chipmunk, was paying himself for working for Mr. Crow. And Mr. Crow seemed to be the only one that was wise enough to know It. Mr. Crow dropped down upon the ground beside Sandy Chip munk. "Well," he said, "have "you fin ished?" "Yes!" Sandy answered. - "And I hope you'll like what I've done. I'll wait here until you fly up to your house and look at the food." "All right!" Mr. Crow told him. He flapped his big, black wings. And soon he had risen to the top of of the tall elm.
