A THANKSGIVING BASKET. .Thia i a thanksgiving year for moat people. To talk about Thankigiving ia a task of euperero gation for moat people. It it a day of abund ance for most people. It ia easy for the moat of na to feel aclf-aatlsfied. But that small minority. The Associated Charitie of Raleigh are asking t&r a Thanksgiving basket from those who have a surplus for those who have a shortage. What kind of B Thanksgiving will it be If your table U filled and your gratitude ia limited to the bountiea that havo come your way t Can yon be altogether thankful that Providence ha left aa abundance at your tdoor and forgotten the man who Uvea seat, and that yoa also, who have no ticed the empty basket, have put nothing in Itt How about tha maa who has gone the long t oad, and whose family remain, etruggling with eondl tiona for which they have bo responsibility, and over which they have no control t Can you be thankful if you have your share and they have nothing, and if your share ia the big one, a ehare that could be divided aad atill leave you a lion' share t Thanksgiving ia aot a selfish bounty. The gen erosities of life have come your way not because of your efforts, but because of thoaa underlying force that have made the world a place that you rejoice to live in. Beeauae aom few havt beea panned by ia the distribution of the benefaction ia ao cause for you te be grateful that yoa have youre if yoa do aot help to aee that they got some thing. A Thanksgiving that ia a eelfiih Thanks giving cannot make much ef aa appeal to the source of all the thing yon profeaa to appreciate. Life it much a matter of emotion. Wt eaa be happy aad moderately hungry at the tame time, We can bo filled with the best tbiaga of life and happinesa may paaa our door. But a full baaket ia an humble homo at thia season of the year helpa to bring happineea more than a full basket ia'a preteatiou home does, and filling a basket for a modest table kelps more eometiraes to bring happl. noea to a home oa Eaay street thaa a full table there docs.

The eleetioa of Dr. J. O. deB.

A native ef the historic county ef Orange, a descendant ef aa eminent North Carolina family, he hat been thoroughly imbued from hi youth with the beat tradition and ideal of the State. He love North Carolina with a consuming passion, and h hat bo higher ambition than to roams her history from the obecurity aad oblivion into which our fore- fa there have permitted It to fall, to teach it to the youth ef the 8UU, thua Inspiring them with the high Ideala ef liberty, justice Bad democracy for which North Carolina baa ever beta noted, and te aet it forth la permanent record of fine liUrary form 'where it may be atodled by all men. , The eueceseor of the late Kemp XMummer Battle aa Alumni Profeotor ef History at the University of North Carolina, as a teacher mad lnaplrer of youth he has ahowa himaelf worthy te take ap toe mantle which fell from the ehoulders of "Old Pro.

Pinehunt ft but a few mile from Camp Bragg and it is a common eight at Pinahurst to see a flying machine, and sometimes two or three from the camp flying over the territory, for at Pine- burst is on of the best landing opportunitiee in the entire country. The golf grounds there are firm for the machine, and tht atraigbt eoursct give abundance of room to approach or to gat aWftV. At the fuir three maxlulrevcame over from the camp, and gave a lively exhibition of skill ia the sir, Tbey showed the people who taw them that complete mastery of the air haa been gained1 by the flying men. They impressed the spectators with the part the plan ia to play If war ever cornea again, and that we are no longer aa iso lated nation. Nothing on earth eaa make the Uaitcd States safe from invention now if any other country ehould want to invade but the big gest flying machine army ia existence. Uaynard hat ehown that the heart of the nation eaa be reached by invaders from Mexico, from Canada, from the West Indie and from ships at tea. W are no longer protected by the ocean oa either coast, nor on the gulf, but rendered appro.'chablo from all those direction by planet tUrting from fleeta of war lying any distane they like to atand off the shores. It is unfortunate that the people cannot aeo more of the planes and become more familiar with them ao they would understand the power of theee new agencies of defonae and aggression. Then they would urge oa Congresa a vigorous develop ment of our flying arm of defence, and institute a lively policy of building-up a big induetry in building 4airplanea and teaching young men to operate them, . We are fooling away time In thif matter that other nation are utlng to their od vauUge, for other countries ar pushing forward and making ready for whatever comes. THE NEW ASSESSMENT. A Durham county maa objected to a price the assessors seemel to think right in putting the new valuation oa hit land, and aaid he would ba glad to aell at the figure they proposed if he could find a buyer. They at once too aim up, ana Deiore he made the deed they had resold the land at a nrofit of a couple of hundred dollars. Probably Lhn man waa lurprised. Tha truth, is Wat lanua are advancing in valuea until moat landholders do not know Juet what value to put on their hold- Inen. And even if a man feelt that he ahould tdvance the assessed price materially, he la fr. auently honeetly at a lota to judge whether to go high and risk the danger of being above what anybody else would rate hia land at, or give tne figure low and be under the price the assessors consider right. Considerable judgment mutt be used In rencn- Ing fair valuea, and much comparison or tales and ol community sua tinoviuira i t nauAl la review before conclusion are reached, and then it will require eareful scrutiny by the reviewer before the final figures re act Moth men want to be honest, but many nonen men are in an honest doubt a to what their Bg urea ahould be. VOCATIONAL LECTURES. Among the many helpful schemes planned by the Literature Department of the Woman Club none it better than the' vocational lecture to be given each month, thereby helping Raleigh boya and girla to begin bow to look forward to B oen nite work and to to prepare for it. We have al readv too many aimleat young people afloat upon a busy world who do not know what they are itted for, and taking little or no interest la tne eau- ..finn that ta too often being forced upon them like an unwelcome doee of medicine. Thia deplorable situation it not the. child's fault, for be it an undiscovered country to himself and to others. Ha needs help in the directing of hit talent. He needa to have tht professions aet out before hit vtry eyes, their reQinremenU, the future that liee before one in ehpoting tuch and such a vocation. And thit should be done force. fully and attractively by our beat produeta of thee professions aa it tht case under tht piau of the Woman t Club. Now tht Ohio Supreme Court it asked to take no.aea.ion of the mlnet of the State. It might be thoua-ht with Kanent and North Dakota .jwder. taking to run the mlnet under State ownership, further experience would be unneceesary at the present time. But the Ohio advocate! of State operation ear that it it desirable because profiU going to the State insead of to the operatort will satisfy tht people and the miners better than the prceent system. Face Against the Wind. By DR. FRANK CRANE. (Copyright, 1819, ...by Frank Crane-l? Aa agent of the NearEaet Belief, a toelety whoae-objeet it to ralae money for the tuffet ing Armenian!, who, aa everybody know, have been robbed and butchered by th Tutkt, wa making a speech at a meeting in Celine, Ohio, After the address tht tpeaker Rotieed a working men la a blue ahirt trying to make hia way to tfae platform.

The man said that all he wanted to know waa whether it waa a sure thing that all the money contributed to the fund actually reached the starving Armenians. He waa assured, and prooft furniahed. , It afterwards developed that thia locomotive engineer, whose name la Robert Graf, had already contributed fifteen hundred dollars to the relief fund. This la a nod deal for BB engineer to contribute out of bit salary. But it waa aot alt.

At I journeyed through, about twenty countries since the armistice I found each action facing tome grtat crisis, military, political, social, or in. dufctrial. It there to be law and order ia the world or revolution and anarchy t Are we to have a League of Nation to enforce pesee or leave the world filled with anarchy, Bolshevism, and revo lution, a maaa of ttriving, unrelated national units f I 1lieve that America, Europe, and the whole world aeedt a League of Nations, first of all because of five, great world danger that confront ua. There it the world dangex. of war. The 'great war left about twenty-three local warn in ite wahe. War it becoming increasingly terrible and de structive, we must find something better that world war, The world must be organized for peace rather than destruction. All Nation Interrelated. . There it the world danger of revolution. Wt found Poland threatened with internal revolution. Italy it on the 'thin crust of a volcano. Greece and the Jngo-Slavs are in danger.' If Germany and Austria sink in B welter of Bolehevism. to gether with Poland and Bufsia, it will threaten France with syndicalism. ....All natinnt are mem ber e ont of another. . The fall " of "ofit wltr all. We need an International body to deal with these international situation. There is world danger In the present labor eitu stion, with induatrial ttriket even ia Japan, India, and Egypt, a serious labor situation in Italy, a menace in France. I waa In England durinar the great railway strike, when the leaders of all the uniont and of many industries threatened (o mnke the atrlke universal. We are ia the midst of great world industrial movement. It cannot be met piece-meal ; nothing but a world organization can meet this world danger. Nations Are Independent. There it world danger of growing Industrial com petition. We found underproduction threatening Europe, industry partly paralyted, transportation crippled, labor in several eountriet demoralized. There is a lack of both food and fuel for tht coining winter. Thit it forcing the nations into fiercer competition for food and raw materials. Tha great wars of the past have grown out of tuch industrial competition. Industrial strife culminated in war between Rome and Carthage. England and Spain, Holland and France, Germany and Great Britain. At the close of thit war Great Britain's output of eoal ia only 62 per eent of what it was in 1913. Belgium, France and Italy are all bidding for the small amount of coal England hat left for export At least one of them ia ready to offer preferential tariff to obtaia thit eoal. Thia eauaet jealousy among the otlior powers. One nation eaa block the produetina aad industrial output of another or cut off ita eoal eupply. Ntw York and Chicago are related to Europe at truly at they are to Saa Francisco. We are entering an era of growing induatrial competition and jealonay without the interna tional machinery which alone can regulate and control the tituatlon. Tht induatrial aituation necessitates B League of Nation. World Jealoas ef America There it world danger in the present financial tituation. At we emerge from the war America ! c!:Jms nearly one-third of the wealth - of the world. We are not only the richest nation, with nearly all the world ia our debt, but we bava grown mora wealthy ia tht war, .Many nations look at America with jealousy. The balance of trade hit been upset. The English pound haa fall en to about 85 per cent of ita former value, the French frane to about 40 per cent. Thit meant that from 15 to 00 per eent must be added to th aeling price of good imported to these eoun triet from America. Thia automatically raise a kind of prefereatial tariff wall against Amerieaa good and limits our exports. It eutt as a wto edged tword. Tht bottom haa almost dropped out of the German mark and the Buesian ruble. Sev eral eountriet in Europe are tufferlng from de bt aed coinage. There it urgent naedt of aa oeo- nomio council, an-International currency commis sion, and of international action, which would be one' of the natural functions of a League of Na- Thut tht world danger of war, of revolution, of labor unreal, of growing industrial competition end tht financial situation, all alikt need tome international organization tuch at a League of Nations, which alone eaa meet the aituation. Great Needa Urge League A League of Nation it required aot oaly be cause of these fixed dangers which eonfroaA the world, but because of Bve great humaa needs. . (1) Th need of world organisation. We nave Tenehed an international atnge of development. Already there are more thaa 600 international or ganization in existence, auch aa th postal salon. All these need relating and regulating. The world Is passing from Barrow, eelfish individual compe tition iate aa ere of eo-operation, from indiv'Jual lata into socialization. It needa to pau from an era of selfishness into one of service. A world or ganization ia the noed of the hour. ,' (2) The need of world arbitration and of Ba In ternational judicial eourV Th whore progrttt ef elvllizatien hat been marked by the advance from brute force to law and order. We have reached a stage when nothing but a world organization eta moot the present world seed. ' , Mast Help the rereeeatec (3) The Beed of helping backward people. Con quered, crushed and exploited. Tht Armenians, for instance, have been persecuted and mataaertl for twelve eeuturlet. During th month I wat ia Turkey 15.000 more were killed. The Armenian re public after the victory of the Allies, appeal to day to the conscience ef the civilised world for re lief. Art they to appeal in vain? .There ere a score of peoples tnd nation whose oaly hone lies la a League of Nation! "or an International or BBiaatieB. (4) Tht ttandardlaatJoa of colonial rule. Under a League of Nationl a government of another peo ple becomes a eaered trust ef civilisation, a moral responsibility for which account must bt rendered A nation receives a mandate, aot to exploit tnd pluader, but to govern another people er race for the welfare ef that race and the world. There it urgent aad immediate weed not only of governing the late Germaa eoloniet ia the light of the world' moral judgment, but of ttandardlalag all colonial rule. There are coloniea and possessions held by tome of the Allied Powers and by ether nationt that are mere misgoverned than any Ger man eoloniet ever were. There are instances ef cruelty, ef butchery, of oppression, of injustice, which can no longer be tolerated. There ia need of aa international organisation to meet the rttt lett longing ef long enthralled pennies. ' -"America Meat Help." (5) The whole world'e need calls upon America for help. The present world tituation it a moral ehallengt te our nation. America alone it- ia a position to make a League of Nations effective. Are we to .choose a Barrow proviacialism or to make a new world worthy ef thoaa who died for it la the great wart It la not the League only that is oa trial. America la oa trial today before the bat ef humanity, .--f.- Good Style, Good Looks l and good wear are perfectly combined ia thit liuT IH.O Boot.
