We; Key West was the warmest city in the United States during the recent general » cold spell with a low of 58. The nearest ‘ approach was San Francisco with 54, but * the cold wave had not as yet reached the Pacific Coast. . Sec. Iekes, quite naturally a Roose- velt follower, made speeches in favor of Republican LaGuardia during the late mayoralty race in New York City; while Postmaster General Farley, quite decided- ly a Roosevelt partisan, used his forensic and persuasive powers advocating the elec- tion of LaGuardia’s opponent, Mahoney. That's getting ‘em, ceming and going. Rev. Father Charles E. Coughlin shows good sense and loyalty to his church by urging his friends and followers to cease their efforts to secure the resump- tion of his radio broadcasts, after he had received an indirect rebuke from Pope} Pious XI through His Excellency Amleto Cocognani, the apostolic delezate of the} Vatican at Washington. The priest has a} great following, both Catholic and Protest-} ant, and were he so disposed could yield | to apostasy and cause widespread agita- tion and possible schism in his church in the United States, but like Father Me- Glynn he humbly submits to the authority ; of his superiors. | | ton, WE ARE THANKFUL Thanksgiving Day, now a_ national holiday, originated because the colonists, devout followers of a Divine Father, wish- ed to express their appreciation of bounti- ful harvests, which meant something to; eat for the following year. In humble spirit, all of us are inclined | to give thanks to a Supreme Being for un- i told benefits and blessings that have eome ! tous. We realize that life-has been good, | in spite of hardships; and that we are not | necessarily deserving of all that we have received. . In a spirit of reverence we pause in a busy Fall to utter appropriate prayers for a beneficence that, upon reflection, we realize is greater than commonly suppos- ed. Our standard of living exceeds by far the eager expectation of past generations and the well-being of our bodies is the envy of the world. No wonder, Americans have felt the need of a special day to re- turn thanks to God, We are grateful for past progress and we should also be thankful for the oppor- tunity to go forward. Let us give thanks for the past goodness, which has been shared by us, but also, in anticipation, look to the day when«there shall be moreagen- eral distribution of the munificence of na- ture among th@*Séns of men. i x OUR’ ARTIFICIAL LIFE We boost of our modern civilization, and in many respects it is very wonderful. But it is also cluttered up by a lot of flub- dub which reflects no credit upon the courage or intelligence ef the average mor- tal. Out of deference to innumerable fool- ish customs, conventions and caprices, our lives are largely artifical and restricted. We must make ourselves uncomfort able in ridiculous clothing; we must be- come identified with enterprises in which we have no interest; we must pretend to enjoy things we loathe; we must submit to being bored stiff by tiresome people; we must bow to the decrees of self-constituted dictators in matters of etiquette—or be classed as barbarians, Our actions are largely governed by inhibitions, many of them trivial and with- out any bearing upon true character or morality, but nevertheless considered bind ing upon all who would appear civilized. Were these rules and regulations establish- ed by leaders possessed of superior morals or intellect, they might be observed with better grace. But if such wert the case the rules would probably be quite differ- ent from what they are. In the eyes of some of our arbiters, it appears that a breach of table manners is a more heinous offense than a violation of the moral code; to wear out-of-style clothes is more reprehensible than de-; frauding a creditor. But most of us lack the courage to re- bel, because we must be regular and stand- ardized if we would be classed among the “best people.” MANY BUFFALOES NOW Through the protection afforded by,} game laws, a gratifying increase in Amefi- can wild life hag. "been made in recent years. In fact, in the case of some species of larger animals the number is becoming greater than desired. A notable example of this is seen in the offer of the government to sell nearly 300 buffaloes, or bison, from some of its large Western preserves. The price nam- ed is $60 for a live buffalo, crated and de- | livered at the nearest railroad point. Ori one will be furnished at the preserve, | butchered and included the hide, for $50. Yet fifty years ago it was feared that the American buffalo would become ex- tinct because of the tremendgys slaughter | of the animals during the arly settlement of the West. Shortly after the Civil War | General Sheridan estimated the number of buffalo on the Western.plains.teske-eleven million, while 25 years later the number had been reduced to about sleven hundred. | Before it was too late, however, the } government took steps to protect this most typically American big game animal, the danger of its extinction Now the lack of available grazing land government preserves has made it sary to reduce the buffalo herds again. and soon passed. | neces- A London magazine says one fift! all the inhabitants of Gheel, Belgi insane.

Total exports for the state for the month of September were $6,188,387. Those for Key West during the same ‘pe- riod were $7,744,401, or slightly more than 60 percent of the en-| tire state’s total. The Red Cross roll call total is expected to reach $1,000 by next Wednesday, which will be the next date for the captains to meet and report.
