The usual perfunctory procla mations were issued by public officials and read by the people. Thanksgiv ing should not be limited to one day in this land of opportunity and prog ress. Are we as proud of Our Country and as grateful for the advantages it gives us as we should be? It is often sta ted that Californians are greater boos ters for their state and its resources than are the citizens of any other state in this Union. Why localize our enthusiasm for Our Country? No state could exist without our United States. Why should not every citizen of this coun try be an active booster for a nation which has gone farther than any other in the world in giving liberty, proper ty rights, business opportunities, home conveniences, educational advantages and amusements to its people? Why should not our schools and colleges emphasize to a greater extent the ad vantages of a citizen of this natiin under our constitutional form of gov ernment? When you feel like kicking, look a round you. Practically every Amer ican citizen can own his own home if he so desires. He can travel to his work either in an electric car or over a system of highways such as the Ro mans never dreamed of. In his home gas and electricity do work equal to that done by a score of servants to former kings and queens. The American telephone system furn ishes a communication service in the j humblest home beyond the wildest dreams of world famous rulers of the past. Our property is safeguarded, our workmen are care.d for and our lives are protected by an insurance system unheard of a hundred years ago and which is rapidly eliminating the pau per and the poor house. Aliddin and his lamp have been; made a reality by the radio which, in ! conjunction with wire communication has annihilated distance and, as the people of the world become be'te'r ac-, quainted through our modern methods of communication, will eliminate war The homesteader in the mountains can tune in his radio set and listen to the music, lectures and amusement programs of the world. Our farmers are learning the ad vantages of applying business meth ods to agricultural pursuits. Our in dustries are profiting by making their employees and customers stockhol ders in their properties. Gasolene has made individual transportation possible so that vast sections of the country heretofore impossible of set tlement on account of distance, have been opened up and are today pouring their produce and /business in over 'mproved highways to the greatest railroad transportation system in the world. What a picture to paint? Forests mines, transportation, oil, electricity, telephone, gas, radio, modern farm machinery, factory buildings finer than the castle3 of history, roads and mad building methods such as the world has never before seen, and an educational system which offers, the poor man's son advantages which the nobility did not have a few genera tions ago! Think of these things when you hear Die croakers and the knockers. Don't be thankful just on Thanksgiving day. Learn a lessen from California where the children are taught that the sun is brighter, the sky is bluer and t} c advantages greater in their Calc than anywhere else in the world | Let us build up pride in Our Coun try, not in a boastful or arrogant man | i.; ", but with a sense of appreciation | and thanksgiving that we are so for tunate as to live in a land where op portunities and advantages for the poor and the lowly are greater than the luxuries offered favored and the wealthy persons a short century ago. Prosperity Hint. Building will now go forward. For material they' can use those discarded congressional blocs. Discriminations. One thing the foreigner can’t undo stand Is why the heck the government helps the man who raises wheat and oats and prosecutes the man win makes corn and rye. ('hristmns Suggestions: Send a pair of skates to your worst enemy who has rheumatism. Send your bootlegger friend an ad ding machine. Send your grandmother the price of a hair-bob. Economy in Press. Many people who think they cannot afford to pay the first cost of good grade materials and good workman ship, and who therefore get shoddy clothes badly made, spend in the long run much more for clothes than those who buy better material, better made garments, w ear them longer, and look bettor dressed. If you must econo mize on quality, do the thing that is hardest to do—economize on the gar ment which does not receive the hard wear, the party dress which is worn only occasionally.

Dr. LaZelle Sturdevant is here from San Francisco for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brantley Sturde vant and sister, Mrs. N. P. McKee. Dr. Studevant has been medical officer on the government ship Bear for the past four or five years and has had many interesting experiences while on cruises along the coast of Alaska and Siberia up into the Arctic ocean. Last summer the fehip was lost for a month among the ice and snow of the Arctic ocean finally drifting about 200 miles in a week and sailing on down through Bering Straight, a dangerous but suc cessful voyage. A collection of snap shots taken in the countries visited tells the story of his trip better than words. These include pictures of the ship amid the mountains of ice and snow, natives and their villages, and reindeer from which the United States derives a revenue. One very unusual picture was that of a cemetery fenced around with the lower jaw bones of the walrus, in the cen'er of which was a mound of human bones. FROM THE PAGE REPORTER.

The bobcat which was killed near Clearwater last week was on exhibi tion here Saturday. The cat was a big rascal, but it is said put up no fight whatever when the dogs captured it Several of the animals were killed in | Cedar county laBt week, which shows that they are becoming more numer ous in this territory.
