Mr. Editor, It does seem strange that so few feel how thankful they ought to be to Almighty God that they wait for the president of the United States and the governor to *et aside a day upon which we should meet and return thankti to the Giver of all things for His mercies to us. And then how few. oh. how few. will turn out and show JuiA by their ac? tions that they are thanUful. Oh. sup? pose God was as careless as we are. But remember, kind reader, that God has said: "Because I have called and ye hare refused, I have stretched out my arm and no man regard It Behold, I laugh at your calamity and mock when your fear cometh llko the whirlwind." God has sent his warn? ing by wars, storms, floods and tires In divers places, but they havo dono us but little damage. Yet how loth wo are to return thanks to such u kind Heavenly Esther. I trust 1 am thankful for all of God's blessings, sight, speech and hear ng. smelling, food, raiment and oh no many other unmentionable blessings. But tho greatest Is lovs. for what would this world be without God and God Is love. So let us get close to God. Love him and thank him for all of his love to us and learn to save our fellow man, evtn If we have to hate his ways, says the old sinner, "Hard Times." not Supper at Baker School.

Dabbs of Mayesville, former president of the South Carolina State Farmers' union yesterday wired, "leading papers and business men from New York to Texas," an ad? dress to "holdere of spot cotton," as follows: "Do not let manipulators of futures scare you into selling. I have it from best information of cotton trade that mills have sold far ahead on basis of much higher prices. After the holi? days there will be a scramble for cotton to All orders. The mills can not spin contracts. They must have the actual cotton. You hold the key to prices. Will you lock the door while the cotton Is yours? The world is on the wildest Inflated basis In history. Will you sell your cotton for a depreciated currency at prices that do not put It on a parity with what you buy? Middling upland cottons should sell for 30 cents to enable you to break even. Do not worry over threats of embargoes nor Investiga? tions by congress. This is merely a play to consumers and part of the game. The world is bursting with money. Will cotton farmers secure their share?" WORDS OF GOOD WILL.

They simply will not be? hove that they could misjudge and maltreat their friends so grossly. The subtle power of our mind to forget Will become mankind's blessings. As method of enforcing it, but by the hundred times better meth/ >f mak? ing It natural. And It can becomo natural because all the scorn of today will fall off like the scab of a healing wound. Unless all psychological evi? dences deceive us, after this war ends peace will really be lasting?and I feel sure the end of the war Is near, the world Christmas tree will be glis? tening tomorrow, the fragrance of its candles already pervades the world."
