im thankful for the sunshine.
I’m thankful for the rain,
I’m thankful for the summer wind
That blows the golden grain.
I’m thankful for my country,
I’m thankful for my God,
I’m thankful for the flowers I love,
The rose and goldenrod. , »-
I’m thankful for my health and strength
And nerves that are not je.ky,
But most of all I’m thankful
THAT I WASN’T BORN A TURKEY.
Nature’s Blessings and
Bounties on Every Side
Thanksgiving is defined as an act
of gratitude for favors and mercies,
and it is well that we have a day set
apart annually for a pubHc acknowledg
ment or celebration of divine good
ness, either in deliverance from calami
ties or in the dispensation of blessings
and the bounties of nature.
But, notwithstanding, "the ills that
flesh is heir to," and those which we
bring upon ourselves, we might make
every day a day of thanksgiving, for
every day we share these blessings
and partake of these bounties, and
we should rejoice every moment in
the knowledge that they are found all
around and about us, in the fields and
streams, in the flowers and trees, in
the sunshine and the showers, in the
products of farms and gardens and
orchards and vineyards, <a the coal
anj stone and minerals that were
stored away for the use of man ages
befo”e his appearance on earth. We
should be thankful that all of these
things, and many more, were placed
here for our comfort and pleasure,
and above all, we should be thankful
for life and love —for a paradise that
is lost by man mainly through his
wanderings in labyrinths formed by
his own acts. —Southern Cultivator
and Farming.

Th rnlting Ourselves

thanking ourselves for what we have

stunted lives. We should have lacked
the associations and training that hnv*
had a big place in making us capahh
of earning a living and getting good
out of life. Our debt to our fellow
men, and to all that made them whs*.!
they are, is pretty heavy. We have
the facts twisted in our minds when
we spend much time giving credit to
ourselves. Civilization and religious
Influences of many kinds have mad ■
.America what it is, and we share in
the benefits, receiving far more than
we could contribute.—Ohio Farmer.
Proving Thankfulness
We have prospered in things mate
rial and have been able to work for
our uplifting in things intellectual and
spiritual. Let us remember that, as
much has been given us, much will be
expected from us; and that true horn
age comes from the heart as well as
from the tips and shows itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thank |
fulness to the Almighty by the way in
which oa. this earth and at the time
each of us does liis duty to hit fellow
men.—Theodore Roosevelt.

CHICORY is a plant resembling very closely the sugar
beet in appearance and after being processed in drying,
roasting and grinding, has a flavor and color very similar
to coffee. It has held a place for ages as a healthful food.
Its use as a beverage was permanently established in Europe
with coffee as in our “GOLD RIBBON” Brand, it adds
strength, improves flavor and color, and prevents coffee
from becoming stale on standing.
This unusual sale makes it possible for you to enjoy with your Thanksgiving Dinner , the highest quality coffee and rTilniii f
at a ridiculously low price because of the cooperation of the Independent retailers listed here; the wholesalers and roasters. I
