Thanksgiving Day is the one national festival
which turns on home life. It is not a day of eccle
siastical saints. It is not a national anniversary. It
is a day of Nature. It is a day of Thanksgiving for
the year’s history. And it must pivot on the house
hold. A typical Thanksgiving dinner represents
everything that has grown in all the summer, fit to
make glad the heart of man. It is not a riotous feast.
It is a table piled high, among the group of rollick
ing young and sober joy of the old with the treasures
of the growing year, accepted with rejoicing and in
terchange of many festivities as a token of gratitude
to Almighty God.
Remember God’s bounty in the year. String
the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except
so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this
one day of thanks, to joy, to gratitude.—Henry
Ward Beacher.

ALONG THE CONCRETE
The other morning one of our lo
cal residents became quite interest
ed in the story he was telling us
about the great influence the elec
tion has all ready had on the course
of events. He tells us, in illustrating
his point, about his pet rooster
which, when Hoover was going
strong, would lay only one egg a
day;.now that Roosevelt is assured
of office the egg laying rate has in
creased to two eggs per day.
We
are earnestly assured that by the
time March 4th gets here the added
stimulis of the election will brin g
his rooster's rate up to three. Nice
story to tell, no doubt but we still
think Hoover deserves some credit
for getting that first egg from the
rooster.
A consultation was being held
over Tom Jensen's whiskered Scotty
(or plain dog) pup yesterday after a
ar had hit the little fellow. At first
it looked as though his injuries were
atal but after a little he shook his
head and walked away. He may have
thought the Democratic landslide
had hit him.
If only we could get out of paying
our debts as easily as do this coun
try’s European debtors.
Someone was telling me the other
day that the depression brought the
hard times.
We only hope that the old “Demo-
’cratic Donkey” pulls the load of
national problems as well as he ran.
