CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING NOV. 22, 1919 THANKSGIVING. Conditions change with each passi Year and while we were a vear pago - Thanksgiving day expressing our grat- Jtude to Almighty God for the many Blessings bestowed upon us, which Seemed greatly increased at that time By the successful outcome of the great fight in behalf of humanity, the ending of the war and the knowledge that the loved ones who had not made the supreme sacrifice would soon be Teturning home, we cannot at this time overlook the fact that during the intervening year we have had many, many things to be thankful for. Thanksgiving day has been observ- €d for many vears. Our. forefathers . found plenty of reasons for giving thanks under what seem like ex- tremely adverse conditions. They were not overlooking the little things for the big ones. They trusted in divine guldance and were not remiss in ap- preciating what was gent, even though at the time it might have been dif- cult of explanation. There was then as there is and should be now the thankful spirit that prompts the of- fering of thanks. It isn't prosperity alone that we #hould be thankful for, or that wi #hould expect in order to give thank e should count and know our bless. ings, we should be thankful for what is sent, for freedom from sorrow and suffering, for the little things and en for those things which though they may first appear to be detrimen- 1al prove to be for our good. And while this day of national thanksgi ing is perpetvated and the people of this country assemble to give praise and thanks to God thers should also £ Be a development of that spirit which T will permit it to be spread throughout every day The epirit of thanksgivin ng of every en- couragement. ONE CENT LETTERS. For a long time efforts have been made to secure changes in postal i ¥ates. There are those who have ad- ocated the one cent rate for first lass mail but there are more who ave maintaine this r should ed to le for local deliv- In this connection it is interest- g to note that Postmaster General SPurieson has made u recommendation 230 congress that this change should be Put into effect % Coming at this time when the presi- Mentlal campaign is soon to be opened it hag all the indications of a move that is intended to have its effects thereon but whether it s or not there %an be no question but what it will make its appeal. Though Mr. Burle- ®on cannot see where the department would be able to meet expenses from such a rate even when applied to the local letters he takes the position that it is not the business of the depart- ment to make a profit but fo render service to the people, a fact which thers had been reason to' believe had been completely overlooked for a num- Rer of years. Service Is unquestionably what the eountry is looking for from the post- office department. The people main- fain it and they have the right to ex- pect it to bo run in their interests. BUIl servige does not always mean low rates and it does not necessarily mean that bocause a lower rate is ad- vocated that the postal service is go- ing to bo improved. There are many ways In which attention could be given to providing improved postal service, such service as there is rea- ®on to expect, from the existing pos- tal rates and it would be highly grat- ifying if the postmaster general had seen the necessity of moving in those directions. Nevertheless Mr. Burleson indicates that his attention is now turned to the rendering of service instead of mak- Ing a profit and for that improvement the country has reason to be pleased. ARMY DEMOBILIZATION. . The mecessity of undertaking big ihings has been conmfronted by this rountry in more ways than one dur- ing the past several years. Not only Wwere we required to raise a large ar- Wy but we were obliged to transport It aeross the Atlantic and get it home Szain. Through such facilities as we were able to muster and those that were provided for us the task was ac- somplished with magnificent results, it ®ven being one of the biggest sur- prises that the enemy got that such could be accomplished. And though mot carried out under such pressure and undertaken with the knowledge that an enemy was not Jurking in the fark ready to send a transport or more to the bottom, the work of de- tmobilization has been accomplished wmuch more speedily than in other wars, though the numbers were much gurger and the conditions decidedly ifferent. Wo of course still have troops in and will have for some time, ut within a year from the time that Sho armistice was signed our army of our million had been demobilized, jch considering the fact that half £ them wers in Europe, with shipping Jacitities curtailed is no slight accom- ishment. The fact that the Ameri- forces could withdraw immediate- helped some, but in the Civil war ‘were but 94 per cent . of the demebilized within the first and in the Spanish-American war * ) .. ) there were enly 83 per cent. demobil- ized at the end of ten months when w:.bla in the Philippines put a stop to it. Many of our difficulties might have been lessened had we been prepared for such activities, and conditions Wwould havo been different had we not bad the assistance of the allied na- tions. We did not escape without making mistakes and paying for them, or without delays that seemed endless, but in consideration of everything in- volved the results stand out well by comparison. TURKEYS. At this season of the year people, along with their other troubles, are always wondering why turkeys should be so high. The war has been ad- vanced for a few years back but the increase in the price of turkeys was underway before Seemingly the expense of raising them and the losses sustained from disease or other causes and possibly the un- willingness to give them the attention they require have all had their part to play in reducing the production and advancing the price, for produc- tion has seriously decreased in this as well as other directions. Back in 1910 the country boasted of only a few more than three and a half million turkeys, a half million less ducks and nearly four and a haif mil- lion geese. But the slump had begun then for there were three million less turkeys in thgt vear than there were ten years previous, over a million and @ haif less ducks and over a million less geese. v In this state there were not over 6,000 turkeys in 1910 where there must have been at least 8,000 ten years pre- vious, there having in fact been a de- erease in the number of turkeys, ducks end geese from 25347 to 17,924 in ten years. And as the number has dwindled the price has steadily risen until a native turkey today commands a price most anywhere between 75 cents and a dollar a pound and in Mmany instances not enough to supply the demand at the latter figure. In view of the situation, however, there can be no surprise that turkeys are high or that native birds are high- er and scarce. - But with the Thanks- giving birg grown on Cennecticut soil commanding such prices and the de- mand unfilled it would appear that the farmers of the Nutmeg state are eadly neglecting a paying proposition. GENERAL ANGELES®' CHANGES. it may be that a decision was reached sooner than anticipated but it can not be believed that it was dif- forent than expected when General Angeles was found guilty by the eourt geles was found gullty by the court martial at Chihuahua City and sen. tenced to death, Just what General An geles meant when he expressed confi- dence that he would receive justice is uncertaln, but the appeal to the su- preme court 6f Mexico indicates that every effort to save his life is going to be made witatever the result.

Carranza may even bo led to make his decision from the Zevelop- mentg that followed the saving of the lives of three leading rebels by Madero only to be followed shortly by his own downfall and murder. Naturally his dispesition toward Angeles cannot be expected to be friendly but that would not warrant his refusal to save his life it appealed to, EDITORIAL NOTES, Stop and consider and you will find many causes for thanksgiving every year.

Thanksgiving day, and dom't let it pass twithout your expressions of gratitude, How 2iexico does dread to get a communication of protest and demand from the United States! The wets are as confident that pro- hibition will not work as they were that prohibition could never win. Even though President Wilson has nothing to say on the failure to rati- fy the treaty, he is doing some think- ing. These who are asking for it do mot understand that a mild winter would interfere with the plans of the mine workers. The saddest part of the whole af- fair, however, is that prohibition must stand under the war-time act wuatil peace is declared. The man on the corner says: It shoulil not be forgotten that health dictates that you should leave the ta- ble a little bit hungry. With England putting millions of gallons of whiskey on sale the open- ing for American wet exports seems to be abruptly closed. Those thrown out of empioyment in industries obliged to close because of the coal shortage are probably harbor- ing Thanksgiving feelings for the coal miners. Of course the coal miners will not consider that they are in any way re- sponsible for the crime wave in Chi- cago when the coal shortage caused the reductiem in lights. the war opened.|. g ST LKE “Well ?” v “Oh, Arthur, I'm sorry——%* “Then. youve just been playing with me for the last year,’ he cut in sav- agely. Janice looked about the cool dining hall and wondered how she could make him understand, she who had thought only yesterday that to marry this fine, successful Arthur DeCou would be all she could ask of life. ‘What had changed everything? She thought of their trip in his powerful car out from his sister's home to this lake shore inn. They had gone through wonderful country with the breath of autumn fanning their faces. Arthur was all a companion should be and yet— ’ “Jap, I didn’t think you were like that" he reproached her. “You surely gave me reason to think you cared.” She met his eyes, indignant yet pleading, and her own drepped. Now that it had come, the big question, everything seemed so' im- possible. Why, she was more inte- rested in the planked steak Arthur had just ordered. If she could only make him understafid! But how could she, when she did not under- stand herself? He was good looking, with such nice eyes, such even teeth that flashed when he smiled. But he was not smiling now. Janice watched two bald headed men down the long roem devour lob- ster and wondered If the stout wives opposit them on théir wedding day. Then she glanced back at her partner. “If only his crown lock didn't stick up so,” she thought. “It positively waves.” “Jan, dear’ he was pleading, “it sn't_seem possible that you don't care. 1 have loved you and wanted you so long. b “I know, Arthur,” she said gently. ‘You're awfully nice, but—" “So's chop suey,” he interrupted fiercely “We've been together quite a lot and —and—-" “So we have,” he agreed with elah- rate sarcasm. “Maybe it's funny to ou, all in the game, but it isnt fun- ny to me and next week I'm going back to Hawaii and let you try your power on some other poor devil” Janice gave a little start.

You, who have led me on, only to turn me down flat at the finsh! Yet she never could love a husband with a crown lock like a waving crest. WHy were they so long with the steak? She was ravenous. What pos- sessed Arthur to bring her to a place with such service? He didn't care what became of her, just as long as he got to the inm he had raved about S0 often. Well, let him have his old planked steak. Probably by the time it came she'd have lost her appetite and ho could have it all.

Arthur served in grim silence and Janice watched him, felt as.if she could mever bear to eat. - She picked at a bit of mushroom which slipped down easily. Then the smell of the steak compelled her.

Churchmen and archaeologists alike were shocked at recent dispatches which tell mere fully how Gaza, Pale- stine, was shell riddled and half de- stroyed, like a war ravaged city of Irance, by the fierce- fighting which restored the Holy Land to Christian dominion. “Deep as may be the regret that pre- sent day Gaza has been injured, yet there s no indication that the Gaza which once was the Liverpool or Phili- | stia, and later the St. Louis of Pale- stine, has heen damaged,” says a bul- letin from the Washington® headquar- | ters of the National Geographic So- clety. “Modern Gaza is set upon a hill, some 100 feet above the surrounding sand dunes and verdant garden spots. It is the hill, and not the present city, which has yielded some of the richest treasures of recent Assyrian study. “The fortunes of geography laid open to the misfortunes of war.
