FRANCE TO HAVE BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CLUBS

France is considering the adoption of Uncle Sam’s methods of teaching better‘ fanning and home making to boys and girls. Representatives from tbe Fi'ench High Commission, lately of this country, made a point of studying carefully the methods of the Federal Department of Agriculture and the State agricultural colleges in conducting boys’ and girls’ clubs. Much of the information thus collected has been widely reprinted by the French press, accompanied by editorial comment expressing the view that, the man and woman power of France having been depleted or disorganized by war service, France for some time to

tome i will be dependent in large part upon its younger population for its food supply and suggesting the formation in. France of a nationwide system of boys’ and girls’ elubs patterned on those in America. It is expected that these clubs will grow staple products —garden produce, ‘wool, farm grain and forage crops, poultry and farm animals on farms not devastated, the very soil of which must first of all be put in condition. They will stimulate production by the young people of France through organized contests not only in farming but in home enterprises such as bread baking, garment making, cooking, and home management.

THE FALL CAMPAIGN

It would be just splendid if we could make the merchants of Indiana

realize how greatly they would benefit by taking some time now and laying out a systematic publicity campaign to begin this fall and run right through the busy season. Every merchant should do something. If your business is small naturally your advertising expenditures must be small, but a certain amount of every merchant’s capital should be invested in publicity that will promote new business. We would urge talking “Service” to the community rather than bargain prices and beating the competitor. To be a good merchant you must be a good advertiser, and to be a good advertiser you must spend a certain amount of your earnings. Spend it judiciously, and spend it for truthful, forceful advertising that lets the public know the kind of service you are in a position to render. —Business Chat.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

On Jordan’s stormy banks I. stand, and watch, with cheerful eye, the hurried Turks burn up the land, as they go whizzing by. Through storied scenes they wildly rush their coattails flapping wide, they're scratching for the underbrush, where they hope to hide. By cool Siloam’s sliady rill the Turk, in deep distress, is wondering how Kaiser Bill got him in such a mess. Could I but stand where Moses stood, and view the landscape o’er, I’d see the Turk vamoose for good from Jordan s sacred shore. The rose that blooms beneath the hill must shortly fade away, and so the Turk, with lust

to kill must perish and decay. Too long, too long he’s hung around, a blemish on rills sphere; hark, from the tombs a doleful sound tells that his end is near. The Turks still trots on -weary limbs, and leaves much dust behind; and, as we read, forgotten hymns, unbidden, come to mind;.. The hillsides anti the towns and streams knew Oj«e, long, len>g who has inspired the hopes and dreams that all good Christians know. It is the soil of hallowed works, and it is good to see sueh moral lepers as the Turks chased out of Galilee. Oh, may they be forever banned, forever and a day, from Canaan’s fair and happy land, where their possessions lay.

THANKFUL

lAM thankful that, lying on my back In tall grass, atop a hill, I have watched white elouds sail over a aky of measureless blue. I am thankful that on a moonlit night in the desert I have heard the heartrending throb of an Indian chant bearing a dying chief to a heaven as real as the desert peaks, purple and black on the dim horizon. I am thankful that I know a New England town, elm-shadowed, silent, with a graveyard too large for it, wherein lie men and women who begot the Nation In the name of God, and laid them down to die in deathless faith. I am thankful that I have seen youngsters diving in an old swimming hole, that I have seen lovers strolling In April twilights, that I have smelled sagebrush after rain, that I have seen babies take their first step, that I have known pain and death, laughter and tears, and work with blistered

Special Reasons Why Every American Should Be Grateful at This Season

BTE thankful that you are liv- . Ing in the most Important era in the world’s history and bearing a part in the momentous events which will be a landmark for all time to come. Be thankful that through the blood and suffering of three years’ terrible warfare The issues at last stand out sharply, and that we are fighting on the side of right and against might; for democracy and against autocracy and military despotism. Be thankful that our great nation has the strength and vigor, the spirit and stamina, the men and resources to throw into the balance at the critical time, thereby Insuring victory for Justice and humanity. Be thankful that the United States will sit at the Peace Council, when the time is ripe, defending the rights of the small nations and peoples, insisting upon n square deal for all. Be thankful that our land has not been invaded,- our people murdered, our cities laid waste, as have those of

Greatest Day of Thanksgiving That Our Beloved Nation Has Ever Known

FEW years ago we were thankful because we were rich and powerful and safe; now we may be thankful « i because we are humbly try?- ' ing to be brave and selfsacrificing- and virtuous. Therefere this is by far the greatest Thanksgiving day that this nation has known. The day; therefore; should be not only one of thanksgiving but of consecration. The American people can now see that there Is in this world something greater than the accumulation of wealth, and that life has values which they have not before appreciated. After all’ ©nr efforts to eliminate- pain fromi the world, we- may learn that paih has a high disciplinary value—that there is such a» thing as through suffer! ngj.

Motorcycles fitted with triple rear wheels are enabling British dispatch riders to drive through desert sands at the eastern front. The arrangement is a simple one. Two whees are joined by one cone and special spindle. The third wheel, without spokes, is held between the other two by struts that bind all three rims rigidly.

hands and with a back aching from heavy toll. But most of all I am thankful that I am living today so that, with the rest of thinking humans, I am witness of the birth of a new code for nations, a code so deep, so high, so filled with justice that one must believe the prophecy of Revelation to be coming true. As one with aching heart and streaming eyes must be thankful for the pains of motherhood which bring a new soul to earth, so I am thankful for the heroic agony of the Allies, which is bringing a new spirit to the nations of the worlds —Delineator.

Belgium, Serbia, Roumania and parts of France and Italy. Be thankful that we are far enough from the scene-of strife to miss roost of its horrors, but near enough to take an active and deciding part in the struggle; that our farms and factor rles, mines and marts are spared t® produce the supplies so urgently needed by our allies. Be thankful that we have an army and navy composed of the best material in the land ; our bravest sons sent forth to fight for the world’s freedom; as thefr great-grandfathers fought for our freedom. Be thankful that we were not afraid or dismayed when the summons came, but stepped forward, prepared to bear a man’s part In the struggle and to help slay the beast shat threatens the liberties of the world Be thankful that when this war is over and tlie- victory' won, the issues settled, there will be- no more war; for the so-called divine right ®f kings and emperors—the right to exercise despotic sway over their subjects—will be no more.

The American- people' should be deeply thankful that they' are called to this great? service; which is nothing more than the- return that they owe to humanity for the- wonderful blessings-that haw been, showered, upon them. “That I -iffiay know, the fellowship of His sufferings”-—such was the prayer of the apostle.. Through, their participation in the sorrow and suffering of their brethren the- American people may develop, a purer, stronger, more exaited and spirituad life than any they have hitherto known.

cleaning and pressing done ■mourned io a littte mere than half a million garments and pieces were laundered. The North Carolina shore- recently was. afflicted by an acvaek of oil on the sea that emitted a sickening odor, attributed tp> German submarines. There is a> strong suspicion, however, that tthe invading grease was cast loose from one of New York’s city- garbage scows. Others of this jetsam made a landing at Coney island recently and depopulated the surf there. Complaints a.tfe heard at other nearby shore resorts. Between German gas, and the odor of city refuse a shore resort hotel owner has little choice. The gas is more likely to attract curious 'summer boarders than floating filth. If our garbage scow fleet could be sent against tlhe U-boats at their base that place would soon' be rendered untenable.—-Daily Financial America.

Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Tommy's Thanks

I’m fhankfal for a lot of things, I’m thankful I’m alive, Fm thankful that I’m six years old, Instead of only five. I’m thankful for my tops and toys And for my Kitty Gray. I’m thankful for the big outdoors Where I can run and play. I'm thankful for the things that grow. The apples—aren’t they good? The com where we played hide-and-seek As in a little wood. Tm thankful for the pumpkins round. Just like a golden ball, And Jack-a’-lanterns, big and queer— They don’t scare me at all. Fna thankfid for Thanksgiving day, For pies all in a row; I’m? thankfid Grandma made them, sweet, She knows I like them so. I’nrthankful for the turkey, too— How brown it is, and nicel An 4’l’d be very thankful, For only one more slice. —Elizabeth H. Thomas, in Youth’# Companion.

DAY’S NEW MEANING

This Year Rational Rejoicmg Is Alloyed With Thought of. Glad Sacrifice. Th a very great number? of us, especially the fathers- and. mothers and wives of the United States, Thursday will be one of the most realistic Thanksgivings we have-ever-spent. At last, after many yearsin which this national hoHday was nothing more than that —merely, ini feeti an occasion for feasting; and gathering- and pleasure-seeking—this distinctly American day is to mean something very real and intimate, to us all. Just what message and benefit it brings to us will depend largely, if not wholly, upon ourselves. And the character of our appreciation of the blessings that have come to us will measure the depth of our patriotism and. love of country. We are not of those who believe the whole Sacrifice belongs;to the man who has gone away to fight.. As much —in some cases even m*re—-bravery and courage and devotion;to duty and to country have been necessary on the part of those who- remained behind. And we are certain that those who step at home will;, on this coming Thanksgiving, realise mor*- completely than they have heretofore; that the eall Fate has made upon American manhood and womanhood is indeed an opportunity for- service, not merely a disagreeable duty to be shirked if possible. For only if the men In the ranks, and equally the men and women at horn* who support and encourage them, enter this war in such a spirit of glad,, eager sacrifice will it ever bring us more than disappoint-, ment and regret and terrible loss. So let Thursday be a day of gjfid> ness, not of sorrow. Let your if tears there be as you sit beside the empty chairs, be evidences that your heart rejoices in the realization that your son or husband or brother or friend was brave enough and willing enough, yes, eager enough, tn risk all that selfish men hold dear and desirable that his country might win honor and security through his blood.
