No matter ! which side turns the wheel, it is i uncertain at which number it a will stop. At one time Germany approaches Paris, only to be f driven back, next, Russia push a es forward to the Carpathians 1 only to be forced back toward I Petrograd. And now a drive is a being made through Rlulgaria to 1 rescue Constantinople-but the wheel is still whirling, and it is -a gambler's guess where it will s stop. In the mieantime, men die i and women weep, debts pile up 2 and hatred sows the seed of con flicts yet to come. 9 It was once said of a speech athat any sentence in it would s have been a good place to quit, ,is it not so with war? When will the nations turn from combat, -the instrumentality of barbar s ism, to co-operation, the instru a ment of civilization? When will >they learn the truth, economic .as well as moral, that it is better to help each other than to kill each other? And yet there are -Americans who would have this 1 nation enter this war!-The Coin moner. THE FIRST THANESGIVING. ~The first fixed and official day of Thanksgiving was held in the year 1665.- In the old public records of the court of Connect icut we find the following order which the court issued on Octo. ber 12, 1665, appointing.a day of general thanksgiving. S"This court doth appoint a solemn day of Thanksgiving to be kept throughout this colony on the last Wedneseay of Novem ber, to return praise to Godforf hisgreat mercy to us in the con tinuation of our liberties and privileges both Civil and Eccle siastick, and for our peace and preventing those troubles that we feared by foreign enemies and for the blessings in the fruits of the earth and the gen eral health of the plantations." It will be noted that the ap pointed day was Wednesday in stead of Thursday, as we now celebrate. 1 We are a great country. We f are a great people.

A Washington dispatch reads: "Mrs. McAdoo, wife of the sec retary of the treasury -and a daughter of President Wilson, appeared on the street today with a cane. It was an ebony hued cane with a-crooked handle, inlaid with silver. Now and then she tiooked it over her arm." How interesting! And what a display of journalistic inge nuity in ferriting out and dish ing up to a staid world the really important events of the day. But this Solomon of the press neglected to tell us the length of the cane. its size and weight, the store from which it was purchased and the angle at which it was carried. Such omissions are reprebensible in modern journalism.. UNCL.E SAM AND OTBERS. | Machine guns are among the most deadly instruments of mod ern warfare. Of these the United- States has available in this country not to exceed 150. Germany has over 100,000, with other countries in pro por tion. Think it over ! If, as Mr. Bryan asserts, Christianity will preivent war, they must be a devilish bunch kf heathens across the water. Give us plenty of guns and the men to use them and it will lessen the danger of our ever having occasion for their use. Aeroplanes for scouting pur poses are an absolute and imper ative necessity in modern war fare. Of these the United States army and navy combined have just 23. European countries have from 400 to 1400 each. We just feel it in our old bones that the boys will walk right up and hand us all of that delin quent substription money before old Christmas gets around again And because of our sublian faith in the boys we are going to place an advance order for a whole turkey for our Chrstmas dinner.

When a politician commence to inquire solicitously after youi health, and how the children art progessing iii their st'udies, an sends his regards to your wife, and wants to know what yot have named the baby, just take to your heels and scoot. You know why. With Stanford White dead and Harry Thaw forgotten. anc Jack Johnson and his white wif4 in othber climes we quite fondly hoped that the mantle of 'Amner ican charity would not be furth er stretched for a season of time And now up bobs Frank Lloyd Wright again. Thanksgiving day is the on' day in the year when the natior turns to heaven in thanks for it: preservation. The life of th4 nation is the principal_ consider ation, not only in life, but it: heajth, anid its preservation ii that condition in which it wa: established by the fathers of th<~ country. Men can thlank . God for their accumulations or sup plicate him to lighten their bur dens, but that is not the purpose of a riational thanksgiving. Th4 nation itself, the political struc ture which was framed and ban< ed down-it is the preservatioi of this for which the people art to be thankful. Just why should George Burl itt worry over his job as assist ant postmaster of the little vil lage of Winnetka, Ill? Getting fired by the post office depart ment for commenting adversel3 upon the engagement of th4 president and Mrs. Gait, anc then being promptly *and em. phatically reinstated by the pre: ident himself, has made him national figure and is rapidly qualifying him for stage life o1 the lecture platform. And really now, if Mr. Wilson wants to mai ry Mrs. Galt and the lady is willing, whose business is it! Aud if Mr. Burkitt wants to e~x rcise the American right of free speech in gentlemanly lang age, whose busmness is that? Seems to us the daily press has been making~ a whale out of a adpole. But then again, that's their business, and they are ex prts in their line. I1 hat are .nd well CS--bOth its and1 ts, $10, to $45. OMPA Davis Station Davis Station enjoyed last F'riday.'ev ening the somewhat unique experience of a barbecue supper, given at the4 schol- ousein he interests o h sho.Te supper was ,planned and I managed by Mr. E. G. Stukes, chair-r man of the board of trustees, liberally assisted by the other trustees, Mr. J:' H. Horton and Mr. J. E. Davis. s The barbecue, feature was of course', the main thing and a strange sigh titi was to many a one who had never be-Ic fore attended - a real barbecue, when j three fine hogs which bad been roasted "to a turn" in primitive fashion over t the coals were brought in, brown and, crip,-and ready to be served. These were amply reinforced by other good things to eat, and the crowd surging in at the door of tbe supper-room testified its appreciation of the substantial spread by keeping the seatsat the lone-It extended tables full, and the waiterss behind the same busy. In another room-fr-.it and lemonadec were sold, a neat little sum being taken in from this source alone. The success of the supper -was large L ly due to the liber-alitv of s'me of- the Spatrons and friends of the school. whose names .and contributions folows: Mr. A. S.
