Fisttring tlie Nmtioii’t '
> Leading Cereal Gvopis
Let OS set out to visualize the
gantic proportions of our crops, that
we may the better appreciate the rea
son for thankful hearts. Start with
corn, wheat, and oats, the three lead
ing cereal crops, providing foods for
man and beast, prosperity ^or country
and city alike. Manhattan island, on
which New York city stands, contains
27 square miles of land surface.
Should we empty these three largest
grain crops over these 14,038 acres the
gathered grain would cover the island
to a of 120 feet—everything
ufider'ten stories would be buried be
neath the avalanche of breadstuffs!
Or, let us suppose we lumped it to
gether. Make a bin, if you please,
and our three great cereal crops
would fill a titantic measure one-half
a cubic mile in dimensions. If it were
set up on Broadway, this half cubic
mile would tower seven times as high
as the Woolworth building, and the
bin would be twenty city blocks long
by ten blocks wide. To grow the
wheat alone required a field as large
as all of New York state, and the
billions of bushels of com were grown
on a field as large as New York, with
New England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales.
And so on right down the column,
nature has been most kind to Amer
ican country folks. Surely, a far dif
ferent situation confronts us than that
which faced the fathers of Thanksgiv
ing. Contrast this against that first
harvest, and we should the better ap
preciate the reason for our thankful
ness.—Earl W. Gage, in the Michigan
Farmer.
I’m thankful for the sunshine,
rm thankful for the rain,
I’m thankful for the summer wrind
That blows the rolden xrain.
I’m thankful for my country.
I’m thankful for my God,
I’m thankful for the flowers I love.
The rose and (oldenrod.
I’m thankful for my health and strength
And nerves that are not ierky.
But mo6t of all I’m thankful
THAT I WASN’T BORN A TURKEY.
Thdriks^ o f Pitgrims
The fact.that thls^holiday, a most
cheerful American festival, is an in
heritance from the Pilgrim fathers
may account for the misgivings ih
some c sciences that it is celebrated
in too secular a vein, the emotion of
gratitude finding innumerable outlets
beside devotional services in the
churches. •
It is doubtful that Governor Brad
ford would share that feeling. He re
joiced that his people “had all things
in good plenty,” and the day* of
thanks that he appointed was given
over to feasting on the fruits of the
season and the trophies of the bunt
and to such good fellowship as the I
lonist

festivity. Edward Winslow wrote to |
a friend In England that “among oth
er recreations we exercised our arms,
many of the Indians coming among
us, and among tha rest Massasoit,
their greatest king, with some ninety
men, whom we entertained and feast

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
apan annually for a public 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, nothwithstanding. “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 partalje 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
an! stone and minerals that were
stored away for the use of man ages
before 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.

Thanking Ourselves
Probably the most of us have a fight
—or should have one—to keep from
thanking ourselves for what we have.
I know no reason why you and i
might not have been born in a tribe
of pygmies on the island of Sumatra,
and then we should have had woefully
stunted lives. We should have lacked
the associations and training that have
had a big place in making us capable
of earning a living and getting good
out of life. Our debt to our fellow
men, and to all that made them what
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 made
America what it Is, and we share in
the benefits, receiving far more than
we could contribute.—Ohio Farmer.
Read The Progress Want ads.
Provins 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 hom
age comes from the heart as well as
from the lips and shows itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thank-
fuiness to the Almighty by the way in
which on this earth and at thfs time
each of us does his duty to his fellow
men.—Theodore Rooseyelt
Cause for Thanks
Lord, thou bast (iven me a cell
Wherein to dwell;
A little house, whose homble roof
Is waterproof.
Lord, 1 confess, too, wdien 1 dine.
The pulse is Thine,
And all those other bits that b«
There placed by Thee.
AU these, and better, thou dost send
l9le, to this end—
That I should render, for my part
A thankful heart.

Worn cylinders are expensive. They waste fuel
and, what is even more serious, they permit the un
burned gases to leak past the compression rings and
down into the crank case. This causes rapid wear of
bearings and all moving parts.
Stormizing is the name given to an accurate pro
cess which stops this waste. We have installed the
cylinder Stormizing Machine and equipment with
which we can restore the cylinders of your motor to
their original true and accurate condition. The Storm
izing Process is mechanically the same as the original
process used by car manufacturers in first bgring and
then honing cylinders. It is the modem method of
restoring full power and adding twenty thousand
miles to the life of a motor.
The savings of gas and oil effected will pay the cost
of Stormizing your cylinders and the cost of new pis
tons, pins and rings.
Come in and let us sjfiow you how this valuable ser
vice can be applied to save you money and prolong
the life of your car.

The phrase “I’ve

with a Camel smoker. It expresses
the experience of millions who
through Camels have learned
to know real smoking pleasure.
As taste in smoking develops, it naturally leads toward better quality^
New smokers may not be critical but when they once experience the true
mildness and surpassing fragrance of the Camel blend, they realize that
here is a real superiority. It is for smokers of such discernment that Camels
