S ubscription K ates One year Sixmnntha . . . . . . $1,60 .75 Thursday» Nov. 2), 1917 We have come again to the Thanksgivir g season and de - pite a few minor hardships, re sulting from the pa t . u i.mer’s drought, ano the few piiva i«»i s asked o f us as | atm tic An eri- cans, which la er are heinr» shar ed by all — East« rn Clackamas County has nint h to oe mai kful for. To enumerate all these I leas ings would be an arduous task, hut the past yea- has ound us in astoundingly good health, free from epidemics and se ious ill ness and sust; ining a minimum o f deaths in the twelve mot ths pass«u. As a pai tial o t f s e t t o o u r thought-ridden t rops, the good prices incident to the war, has left us in better financial condi lion than many sections. Our road building and especi ally our industrial growth has e clipsed all records and our schools and churches have maintained iheir high standard. Hut one thing we can be most truly thank till lor, is the satis faction o f knowing that we live hi one o f the most patriotic, truly American communities in the IJ- nited Stat«*s, as amply evidenced by the generous support given every pal riot ic call. We can too be thankful that Eas ern C lackamas has its fu 1 tpioia ot voting men enlisted and lining their duty at the tront. We can be more than pioud o f our I ca n y fes|on e ill moneys and labor to the lied Cross, Y.M. C. A and Liberty Loan campaigns and wi ti he knowledge that ti • tore cabs on our patriotism will be m. t with equal liberality. The tin* ’thanksgiving spirit st.ouUi p«-rmeule tins comninnily as never before and if the custo mary U>unt«ous least o f turkey has i his year to be supplanted by »nine cheaper Hooverized diet, we can be thankful that ibis privilege «d‘ aiding in the tood e interval ion is g . n t d us, as an- other chance to “ do our hit.” “ The greatest ftxxl experts on I h > th sides o*’ the Atlantic say that there is a world shortage of food. The boys w ho art* endur ing the h«*ll o f the trenches for our sake cannoi hob! out if ill ted. The situation which we have to face right now is plain. Either the sta\- at-homes must save so that the soldiers may get their vital needs, or the soldiers must g«i short sti that the stay-at- homes may fatten. You cannot have it Imtli ways, and must make your choice. “ Tho*«e of us who grumble at being asked not to w aste sugar a itl other foods should l»e asham ed o f ourselves. ‘ T h e people in France t«xiay are living on one pound o f suga«* pj r month. We use seven! Sev en times % as much sugar as the I . A — > French with all their other sacri- fi es, and yet we grumble! “ The man who pours sugar in his coffee regardless, and then leives half o f it on the bottom of the cop doesn’ t like to he asked to s‘ ir it up! “ Let us save part o f our sugar, l«*t us observe the wheatless days and the meatless days. “ It will do us good and it will save the life o f France! “ I f you can’ t rai«e a pig, save one. You can do so hy eating less pork.’ ’ _______ We note that one o f the Port land hi^h schools was last week presente 1 with a banner or Hag, w th each star re »resenting one o f that sch >ol’ s boys wrho is en listed an i lighting for his Coun try. The making o f such a flag by the girls o f toe Estacada High School would b<* a proper.and tit tribute to the E. H. S. heroes, who are now <i iog the r it in a 1 parts o f the world. Such a hat ne would be a sou venir w«dl worth perpe nation and would be an object o f patrio tic adoration to future classes o f stud* nts, long alter the war has gone into histoi y. That it pays to advertise and thai the home newspaper is read, was evidenced last week in the Hood o f pennies that pored into tne Estacada State Hank, follow ing a note in the News, asking for these small coins Hie bank can still use m »re and requests that parties having same in home banks, kindly have them changed for coins o f larger de nomination, for the demand for pennies is outgrowing the sup ply. O f the two big dances sched uled for this week, the first oc curs Thanksgiving eve at Cogs w ell’s Hall in Eagle Creek, when a big crowd is expe< ted to participate, with equal interest shown in the Hard-times Dance given by ihe C. I. C. Thanks giving night at the Estacada Pa vilion. At this latter atfair, over alls ami clothes o f poverty will be in vogue, with the girls wear ing calico aprons, housedresses anti the like.
