PROBLEM TO SOLVE; ITS HOW TO SCRAPE UP PRICE OF THANKSGIVING TURKEY T1 1 11 11 • ■—■■■i■■«■ . ii ii i ii ii 111 «■——— «ia r. . -rrxrm— - ■ ; Dressed turkeys ready for shipping, live turkeys in crates being loaded into cars, and £ close-up of the bird himself. Turkeys art going to be higher than ever over the holi ' ,/s this year, according to re.ent reports. This announcement might cause a heavy mortality list among the fathers of families tvu. for th; fact that everything els.. is skj high. As a result, as soon as father re covers fror- the shock of the news he’ll probably get ou his old shoes for a few weeks more we and prepare to buy the usual bird for Thanksgiving. Big shipping cen ters report that the movo non. of turkeys toward the big cities for the holida., trade is already under way. According to cold storage house investigations some of the turkeys have been on their way to the tabli for a c uple of years since they left the old home. From, the N. Y. Evening Telegram Ever since the Pilgrim _Fathers Crossed Atlantic’s stormy sea, For the wildness of New England In the cause of liberty, [Wo have ever had a reason To be thajikful to the God [Who has showered down His bless ings On this favored bit of sod. [We have prospered as a nation, Ours has been a happy land, Foreign to the selfish power Of a tyrant king’s command. In the teeming marts of commerce, In thq hives of industry, [We have seen the horu of plenty, We have known prosperity. In the days of peace and quiet, In the golden days before Mars released his maddened legions To destroy the world with war, [We had reason to be thankful For the things that blest our way. But a still more thankful nation Is uir grateful land today. [We are thankful, doubly thankful. S That we had the sacred chance To assist our brother nations, England, Italy and France; Thankful that we had the power To relieve a stricken world; That, through us, the flag of free dom Was defiantly unfurled. Thankful that we have established Freedom as the greatest goal, Thereby known by other nations As the nation with a soul, As the land that broke the power And the tyranuy of might, As the land that rescued mankind, As the land that faeshed thl light. In this time of celebration, In our humbleness we pray Forth our thanks to God Almighty On this glad Thanksgiving day. In the Depths. From the New York World. It had to be. With all the political viud batteries in action, even General Pershing could not hope to escape. To Oaear E. Bland, republican, representing the Second district of Indiana at Washington, belongs the distinction of Insinuating In debate that the commander of the United States armies in Europe was either negligent or cowardly. "I found him,” he said, ”200 miles from the front on July 19, 1918, when the battle of Chateau-Thierry was at Its height,” adding that the general did not know much about the front anyway. Announcement has been made by the general staff of the army that since Janu ary, 1918, the air service has had 390 fatalities at flying fields in the United States. Fourteen of these were attributed to the failure of engines or collapse of f airplanes. A Tangled Web. From the Columbus Dispatch. ^ The door bell was ringing, pasyirginia’s mother (who was dressing) [ peeked out and saw a stranger at the Virginia, aged 5, was told to answer the 1 door and say her mother was “not at | home.” I Following Instructions, Virginia was )*tum;>ed when the stranger asked "when i will she r» turn?” | "Without leaving the door, she called: mamma, he wants to know when IpW are coming back? What shall I say? 4 ♦ 4 WE SHALL PAY. 4 -f ♦ 4 From the Detroit Free Press. 4 4 There is an almost universal 4 4 tendency among us to buy what we 4 4 really cannot afford—and often do 4 4 not at all need—just because some- 4 4 one else is the possessor of it, and 4 4 because, also, we have the money 4 4 in hand, or in prospect, with which 4 4 to purchase it. 4 4 Buying of every sort, there must 4 4 and will be, but the imposition of a 4 4 selfcreated check upon the tendency 4 4 to be extravagant is obviously a 4 4 vital need of the hour. Seemingly, 4 4 both sexes, all ages and every xace 4 4 here resident is guilty and few if 4 4 any will escape the ultimate pay- 4 4 ment of the penalty which the 4 4 eventual swing of the economic 4 4 pendulum will surely bring about. 4 ♦ ♦ 4 4 4 4 444 4 4 4 4 4444 4 ♦ Cheer Up Again. We say the prices now are high, so high we’re often stricken dumb; we shudder when we go to buy; cheer up, the worst is yet to come! The shoe men say there are no hides, and daily leather grows more rare; and so the price of footwear slides 10 parasangs up in the air. The clothiers say there is no wool, the sheep are dead and on the ice; it takes some influence and pull to get a suit at any price. The bakers say there is no flour, and so the children have no bread, and we are weeping every hour because our hopes are lying dead. The barbers say there are no barbs, and we must let our whiskers grow until they spread like noxious yarbs, and wave and wiggle to and fro. The grocer says he cannot groce for less than 95 per cent; he sees the sheriff drawing close when profits sink, in his lament. And so things go, from day to day, the whole blamed world is out of plumb; but let us all be blithe and gay; cheer up, the worst is yet to come. The worst will come, and then the slump, the big reaction will appear; and we will carry to the dump the pirate and the profiteer. Double Honors. From London Answers. Aunt Mary had beeen introduced to all the friends of the family while visiting her brother. Now, womanlike, she was trying to discover if her niece favored any young man especially. “That young Mr. Smarte who comes here seems a clever sort of man, Maude,” she began. "Yes," replied Maude, “he is clever.” “What is he by profession?” “A bit of lawyer and a hit of musician.” "But what is he really?” asked aunty puzzled. “'Well,” explained the girl, "the lawyers say he Is a musician, and the musicians say he is a lawyer." No Doubt Of It. From the Indianapolis News. An Indianapolis lawyer who handles many divorce cases In the county courts, was approached the other day by a man who contemplated bringing divorce pro ceedings against his wife. “I want to find out if I have grounds for a divorce," he informed the attorney an entering his office. "Are you married?” the lawyer asked. "Why, yes. of course." responded the client. "Then you have grounds,” the attorney ;aid. Blue Sky. Two Columbus men paid $75 for oil stock luoted at 1 cent a share. They became suspicious and forced the stock salesman :o refund their money. This is not an iso ated example of investment In something ibout whioh the Investors know nothing except what the salesmen tell them. A •eport from a county near Marion says 1300,000 have beeen taken from the com munity rcently by representatives of oil companies. Similar stories might be told >f other communities because money is clcntlful, the salesmen have plausible irgumenta and there is po blue sky law to croteet the unwary, THANKFULNESS. The old ship, the bold ship, The Clipper of the Sea, Beneath whose prow the waters slip Foam white and wond’rously The vessel taut has come to port. The voyage (thank God!) is done; The freight—how dearly was it bought, And yet how bravely won! From island and from highland They went, the strong the brave; Alas! some bleach upon the sand, Some rot beneath the wave! Thank God for these (on bended knees) Who, though the tempest drives, Through rage of waters, tumbling seas, Come safely with their lives. The white ship, the tight ship, hies harbor wise, reaved to; Drop down the sails, the anchor trip, Pay off her valiant crew. The anxious breast is now at rest, Th’ adventures of the Foam Are of their sailor gear divest, And each one seeks his home. The old ship, the bold ship, The ship that we have manned— The ensign at the masthead dip To him who wisely planned. And though she rides upon the tides That sweep in from the main, First shall we be, if God decides We must to sea again. —Joan T. Waddington, in the Lit ctar.y Digest. Why She Got Angry.
