"Think and Thank". Suggested Motto for Nation Today Think and Thank' was the motto upon the family creat of the great Hebrew philanthropist Sir Moses Monteflore. It would bo an appropriate armorial motto for America today. These two little English words, differing In a single vowel, were originally Identical. In the Anglo-Saxon tongue, a "thank" was a "think." Thanking comes from thinking, and thankful ness from thoughtfulness and thanks giving from thought-giving. This will bo a season of unusual thanksgiving for we are made to think as we have not been wont to think. It will be a very aelflsh soul that this season falls to think of the sorrows and the sufferings of others. Look back at that first American Thanksgiving. Strange skies, sparse settlements sparse larder, savage enemy, but thankful spirit ! What makes the memory of the Pilgrim so precious? Ills thankfulness! As Howell puts It: "It is no Improper comparison that a- thankful heart Is like a box of precious ointment which keeps the smell long after the thing Is spent" The Pilgrim and the Puritan have passed on, buttliey have left us a precious possession a Thanksgiving day and the Thanksgiving spirit. Theirs was the. Indomitable spirit because they "thSiked God and took courage. They landed undesignedly on a "rock-bound wintry strand," but they thanked God and took courage. They found no goldbut they did find the golden grain of a first harvest and they thanked God and took courage. They found a rude wilderness, but they thanked God and took courage, and furrows were turned and towns were built and cities grew and factories flourished and culture developed and Instead of a wilderness a garden blossomed and the fragrance of their memory still . survives and the spirit of their grace still Inspires.

CKristmas Novelties Among the best of the novelties Introduced for Christmas gifts are the handsome beads made of sealing wax. They are strung on silk cord with or without glass or steel beads. The wax is heated over an alcohol flame, the colors combined and the bead1 shaped over a knitting needle whil the wax Is soft Pretty hatpins are CSfide In the same way. CKristmas Circus Crepe paper offers any number of good opportunities for making Christmas gifts, especially for the children. Printed figures of wild, or of domestic animals, are cut out, to make menageries or familiar barnyard friends, that delight the youngsters. The pictures are pasted over stiff cardboard and then cut out, following the outline of the animal, but leaving a straight pieco to provide a support. The best thing to do for a gardi blister Is to be proud of iU i It doesn't take argument to persuade a man to wear his old clothes. That expected slump in prices, üoeims to have ttopped halfway Cqju.

Divine Lesson in the Garnering of the Golden Grain

The summer is over and the harvest Is past. The sad skies, the bleak fields, the bare trees, the raw winds that whistle and groan and sob and sigh their dirges mournfully remind us that the season of fruitage has gone by and the time has come when we can only turn away, each to himself, and measure up our garnerings Nature gives, us a seed time and a harvest time. But these would be meaningless to us did she not also send , a season when, at the warning toiich of winter chill, wo must measure our gains and consider our !osses. But for the lessons of this season no man would labor; we would know naught of temperance or thrift; we would go through the . bright, spring only singing, and Idle away the summer In dreams. So It Is part of the divine plan that each of us should now go apart and carefully separate the wheat from the chaff, the flowers from the weeds, and that which Is good and sound and enduring from all that perishes and taints. It is now that each must honestly examine and weigh the product of his own works. It were . useless now. to try to deceive even ourselves. Now, If at no other time, we see the vast difference In value between the picked fruit and the windfalls. The one heap we proudly storfl away, knowing It will keep sweet and whole to tire winter's depths, and the other we cast aside, that It may not contaminate as It rots. It Is a sad, sweet task sweet for the counted gains, sad for the opportunities lost and to come no more t t ' t t And as we garner the gains wo also garner wisdom. As we separate the wheat from the chaff and the sound fruit from the windfalls, 60, whether we will or not, we must In the Inner consciousness separate the true from the false In' principles of labor and living. No .man, even of three-score aye, four-score and ten, has ever known this law to full In a single season. It knows no variation in all the cycles of time. But grains and fruits are not all that we are garnering. Chaff and weeds aro not all we ought to sepa rate and cast away. There are things more Important .still. In .the storehouse of the heart and mind and soul, Is it not well to seek. Just as carefully, though sometimes in vain, to keep only the better, the brighter, the more endurlDg things? When the bleak November of life comes we shall have need of them. Dreary wlll'-hethe winter to him whose granaries are empty. Rut drearier and more desolate still must be. the winter of old age to the man or woman whose mind and heart and soul have brought from the harvest only the joys that are chaff and 'the virtues that are mere windfalls, attained and adhered to only through easy convenience. When that winter comes, as It must to many of us, we shall have only ourselves to turn to, and we shall find only that which we have sown and harvested lp the bright spring and polden summer--the good grain, the sound fruit, the flowers, the high Impulses, the sacrifices, the loves, yes, and the cheat, the chaff, the weeds, the windfalls, the hates, the Jealousies, the low passions all these and nothing more, to sustain us or to render us desolate. We may, if we will, make each day a cycle of all the seasons. We sow each morning and reap each noon and garner each evening the fruits of our living in this little day. Day by day, if we strive on in right and hope and courage, must our knowledge and our strength, and our store Increase. Day by day, through many failings and fallings, do we come nearer to the true manhood and the true womanhood. Charles Grant Miller in the Christian Herald. Metf CKristmas Pillows Christmas time brings out a lot of handsome new: pillows, because they are gifts suited to everyone. Above, two are pictured, one made of changeable taffeta and one of satin ribbon. They will suit either living or bed rooms.

HEMPHILL EXPLAINS ORGANIZATION OF NEAR EAST RELIEF

Prominent New . York Banker Says Aim Is 100 Relief of Starving Peoples. "Just what Is the Near East Relief? Is the question that many people are asking whose ; Interests have . been awakened to the ' terrible conditions existing In the Levant today," says Alexander J. Hemphill, President of the Guarantee Trust. Company and well known New York banker and financier Vln prosaic facts, the Near East Relief is a body incorporated by act of Congress the object of which Is to provide relief and to assist In the repatriation, rehabilitation and re-establishment of suffering and dependent people of the Near East and-adjacent areas; to provide for the care of orphans and widows and to promote the social, economic and Industrial welk 7 .v f ' V ISO m ALEXANDER J. HEMPHILL. fare of those -who have been, rendered destitute or dependent directly or Indirectly, by üie vicissitudes; of war, the cruelties of men or other causes beyond, their control. . : 100'Per Cent Relief. . ,MThe aim of the organization Is 100 per 'cent -relief, tlie relief which puts those nlded on a self-supporting basis, whicli instills in them aconlldenc for the future, places in their hands the means with which to begin life anew, and In their hearts the courage to go on. Work, that Is the prescription subscribed and provided by those loyal men and women who have Journeyed Into perilous places for the 7sake of their fellow" men; to make these people independent for the future, to encourage the flickering fire of national pride. 'There are 82,291 workers employed in the Industrial establishments of the Near East Relief, where wool is furnished for the women to spin and weave, and all the girls who are strong enough are washing wool, sewing beds, grinding and sifting wheat, tailoring and learning to make lace. The big problem is to make these women Independent 'About 500 American men and. wo-. men, Near East Relief workers, are now in the field. Including 36 eminent. physicians and surgeons, 70 nurses, 7 mechanics, 15 Industrial experts, 16 agriculturists, , 14 bacteriologists, 107 relief workers, 25 supply and transport workers, 19 teachers, 20 administrators, 34 secretaries, 7 engineers and 45 army officers. Where Money Goes. "Funds for relief purposes are distributed In two ways: First, the varitus relief centers are authorized by the Executive Committee to draw sight drafts on New' York for specific amounts each month; second, by supplies purchased In America, the major portion of which are shipped to the committee warehouses at Derlndje, and the remainder either to Beyrouth or Batoura. "The relief Is rup!dly expanding and meeting the situation, but the future depends on the continuation of American support According to Mr. Ilemphlll, the need for American help to see the destitute peoples of the Near East through the crisis of present conditions is greater now than ever before on account of the uncertainty as to the future, the truculence of the Turkish government and the danger of bolshevism from Itussia, which threatens to engulf the whole of Armenia. Who Direct the Work. Mr. Hemphill Is the Chairman of the j Executive Committee of the Near East ! Relief. Other 'members are Dr. JameF L. Barton. Secretary of the Foreign Department of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions; Edwin M. Bulkley, banker, of Spencer Trask & Co., New York ; Judge Abrum I. Elkus, former United States Ambassador to Turkey; Harold A. Hatch, a well known New York cotton man; Herbert Hoover; Willlara B. Millar, one of the Secretaries of the Interchurch World -Movement; Henry Mergenthau, United States Ambassador to Mexico: Edgar Rickard of the American Relief Administration; Charles V. Vickrey. who Is Secretary of the Near East Relief, and Dr. Stanley White, secretary of the "Board of Foreign Mlsilons of the Presbyterian Church.

RANN iwmmmmuwvvwv CURIOSITY CURIOSITY Is an effort to secure Information which belongs to someoody else. There Is a great deal of Information lying around loose which would not look well If printed on the front page, and If It were not for curiosity it could kick around on the four corners for weeks at a time without being picked up and woven Into a lawsuit. 'There is considerable complaint about the activities of curiosity, but It probably keeps more people from helping build good roads for the state than the prickings of conscience. Curiosity Is caused by the nose becoming elongated and prying Into other people's business. Many a man CELLULOID Ciffe . HOm ftfelUl MONI?

There have been instances where this roving tendency has been resented by its victim, who pushes tlie nose back to its proper location With an irate fist. Curiosity should be guarded against especially In the case of husbands' who were formerly In the prize-ring. It Is a dangerous matter to pry Into the personal transactions of a citizen who carries a left-upper-cut and enough ready money to pay, his fine. Scores of happy homes have been broken up by the gossip whose curiosity has run over the flnm nnd ennvlncod w rrednlnns wlfft that she had married a.gay Lothario instead of a master bricklayer. Curiosltv which Is not fenced in can be cured -by reading the parable . about the mote and the beam and training the nose to keep on the sidewalk. There would be less baleful curiosity at work In this country If people would look Inside a little of tener and not worry so much about how their neighbors can afford pork tenderloins twice a' week. If nobody would go off his own premises when he feels like doing a little promiscuous prying, there would be better feeling and fewer blackballs cast in the lodge.

BEAR W Man's Kindness to Animal la Repaid When Trouble Comes. ATTACKED BY MATE Attendant Wat Cleaning Cage When Female Grizzly Pounced Upon Him Male FlgnU Frenzied Mate Until Help Comet. St. Louis, Mo. Louis Spero, fortynine years old, 4400 Enrlght avenue, bearkeeper at the zoo. Forest Park, , owes his life to the practically human and humane assistance of the male grizzly bear, who Intervened and aved him when he was ferociously attacked by the female grizzly at the zoo. Spero Jot a long, deep gash In his right arm. a similar wound on his right thigh, and several minor scratches to attest that Kipling knew of what he spoke when he wStte, '"The female of the species is more deadly than the male." The female grizzly made her unexpected attack on Spero as he was cleaning the grizzly cage. The attendant has been doing this work for many years, and always considered the bears safe Indeed, believed that they welcomed his presence In their cageBlow From Behind. He was not paying any attention to the bears when he was struck a terrible blow from behind and thrown flat He found the female bear standing over him, growling fiercely and evidently In a terrible temper. Thero were several sight-seers about , the cage at the time. These ran horrified, calling for assistance. Spero was not knocked unconscious, and retained presence of mind to lie stilL At this crisis the male bear intervened. He strode across the prostrate body of the keeper and shouldered the femalo away. His Interference was resented with 'fierce growls, slaps and bites, but he persisted, and by " his superior strength pushed the femalo far enough away to save Spero from her claws, ,; ,., ..
