He has extended credit when he couldn't afford it. Adver tising would have saved him. To use advertising for something more than selling goods is one of its greatest advantages. Tell your store's policy regarding credit, telephone orders, deliveries and other abused privileges and the public will respect and patronize you the more. Advertising corrects abuse' as well as it exploits virtue T I ANKSG IV'NG. Tomorrow has been set apart by the President of the United States as a day of thanksgiving for the nialfold blessings we have enjoyed during the past year. .1inst a year ago similar worls of lbhankIc fi liness were going out of our11 1ollIhs and hearts, siinilar in e:1nest noss and sinmilar in forith, bit woi'td downII with the thioughts of Itie inl i :h' 'c n!! e 't n O w : ing, sice !I ri. for t; h .1 ()I* f rch e is .

This was a strategic sec tor, because all of the German lines north hinged on it.

While the 93rd was putting up its valiant fight tho 30t h1 was being groomed for the great attack on the i linden iburg line, and on Sept. 2th, with the 27th Now York Division, be gan the attack which resulted, Oct. 9th, in the breach of the German line at Cam brai.

"I am anxious to have my retire ment effected with the least possible inconvenience to yourself and to the public service, but it would, I think, be wise to accept my resignation now, as Secretary of the Treasury, to be come effective 111)011 the appointment and qualification of my successor so that he may have the opl)ortunity and advantage of participating proml)tly in the formulation of the policies that should govern the future work of the Treasury. I would suggest that my resignation as director general of railroads become effective January 1, 1919, or upon the appointment of my successor. "I hope you will understand, My Dear Mr. President, that I will per mit nothing but the most emperious tienands to force my withdrawal from public life. Alwayf I shall cherish is the greatest honor of my career tie opl)ortunity you have so gen erously given me to serve the coun try under your leadership in these epochial timies. "Affectionately yours, "W. G. McADOO." The President's letter of acceptance lated Nov. 21, follows: 'My Dear Mr. Secrotary: "I .was not unprepared for your let ler of the 14th because you had more than once, of course, discussed with me tile circumstances which have long made it. a serious personal sacrifice ror you to remain in ofice.

"For the distinguished, disinterest ed, and altogether admirable servico you have rendered tlhe country in both posts and especially for the Way in which you have guided th6 Treas ury all through the perplexities and problems of transitional financIal con ditions and of the ilnancin; of a ;war which has been without precedent a like in kind and in scoPc, I thank you with a sense of gratitude that comes front the very bottom of my heart. "Gratefully and affectionately yours, "WOODROW WILSON." It is entirely probable that the Pres ident may il separately the oilces of secretary of the treasury and director general of railroads. There :Was noth ing official tonight on which to base a statement of who might be under consideration for secretary of the treasury. On previous occasions when a successor to MIr. McAdoo was dis cussed John Skelton Williams, comp troller of the currency and W. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal re serve board have most generally been mentioned. Paul Warburg, formerly a member of the reserve board, and a prominent New York'banker, and Rus sell C. Liffingwell, assistant secretary of the treasuiry are reckoned among the possibilities. President Wilson is not required to clooset the new director general of the railroads fromn among cabinet men hers and it is possible that the plac ma.1y go to somC one associated with Mr. McAdoo ill the railroad adminis trationl. If the place should go to sonie member of th1e cabinet, Secretary lulker of lie war department, Post 1111ster Gelera lu i r(eson anld Secre tar11y I,.llan, of 1te interior department are likely to Ie conlsidered.
