THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving q.s become to the
American people almost what the
feast of the Passover was to the Jews
in the days of old, except perhaps it
is looked upon with a different pur
pose in mind. They looked on it as
the day sacred for the life that had
been spared from slavery and death.
We look on Thanksgiving as the one
day of the year when we get together
for the purpose of giving thanks for
the material things with which we
have been blessed. The day selbcted
for this public thanksgiving is always
at the end of the harvest season. Un
fortunuately, it may be that only a
small percentage of our population
seems to draw near enough to God
on Thanksgiving Day to thank Him.
They seem so filled with the good
things of life and so thrilled with thei
pleasures thereof they just leave off
the thanks and have a good time any
how. ' •
It is true that a few Americans go
to church on Thanksgiving Day, and
quite a few cast a small coin in the
treasury of some orphanage, or it
may be to feed some hungry poor.
The Thanksgiving program with most
of us is richer with pleasure than rev
erential thanks to God for the'sus
taining power with which He has kept
us through the year. In the early
days in our new world history, it was
the custom of our Puritan ancestors to
gather all the folks together around
the fittle ,I cHb" of - c6rn "Whfih the
snow would begin to fall in the late'
autumn, and render thanks unto the
Father of all life for the blessings He
had given them. It was their only
way through the winter. Now, we
have our big bams in the west, and
our tin cans in the grocery store. We
can get our food quickly and in many
varieties, and like the people of all
the past ages the more we h*ve the
less we thank. We worship and rely
upon the things we have, and appar
ently think less of the God who gava
them to us. We should keep the day
sacred to the purpose for which we
dedicated"!!
WHY ARE PEANUTS SO LOW?
The question is apparently of little
concern to the people, but the results
of low peanuts counts heavily against
the people of this section. Since North
Carolina is the leading peanut State
in the Union, the peanut price is a
big factor in its income. The majori
ty of the peanuts are raised in a doz
en counties, and Martin is one of the

leaders. It will be remembered that
the Peanut Association advanced 4
5
1-2 cent* on the best grades of peas
6 last year. The mills in an apparent
' desire to destroy the association im-
L mediately ran the price up to about
6 1-2 cents, with the result that small
1 mills and many speculator* lost heav
' ily on the very poor crop we had last
season.
This year things are different. We
have a good crop—that is, peas of
r -i
good quality. The growers' associa
tion is advancing 4 cents per pound,
which is only a fraction under the
present sale price. It looks now like
the mills propose to ride the outside
farmer this season. In previous years
they have lightened up on him in an
effort to kill competition, which seems
to have caused them too much loss to
I repeat. .The mills are paying the
farmer real starvation prices for a
good crop of peanuts. Only one cent
a pound above the tariff duty on the
product. 1
THE CHILDREN'S HOME
ThU institution at Greensboro rep
resents a high type of service devoted
exclusively to the homeless children
of North Carolina. We live in an era
of des're to perform service of con
structive type to any boy or girl so un
fortunate as to be denied the care and
protection of his sor her own parents.
In tiie course of each year there are
fou>'il hundreds of children who would
suffer in the mjdgt.of plenty and pros
 pviity were it not for the constant at
tention given by the workers for the
Children's home. Every month pro
duces its quota of desert»J children
fron. infante to Ave and six year old
boys and girls. All these waifs find
u wcirrine at the receiving home in
Greensboro where they are cheerfully
nursed Lack to normal physical condi
tio. receiving the necessary
tiodlMMttt which puts them in condi
tion for placement these children are
! transferred by legal procedure to ap
proved foster homes and in these new
, homes they are carefully supervised
a.
until of legal age. No more worthy
charity presents itself to the citiiens
of North Carolina for financial snp
i port "
i At the holiday season an appeal is
: made for operating finances to carry
t on the work for 1926. Upon the re
i sponse will depend how many children
> will receive the service of the Chil
' dr.ni> Home. No one is under obli
gations to contribute and therefore
i every one is appealed to. The Chil-
dren's home is undenominational and
rece'vea no obligated support from
the legislature, any church, or frater
nal order. Therefore, the children's
hone addresses their holiday appeal
to every Sunday school class, frater
nal order, and the citizenship of our
gi«-at State of North Carolina, for a
generous holiday appropriation. Let
no one be entirely satisfied with their
distribution of holiday charity until
the needs of the Children's Jlome are
investigated ana recognized. John J.
Phoenix, State superintendent, states,
"No check is too small but will be ap
preciated, and none too large but will
be put to constructive use."'

1 Back at work three days
' after simple home treatment
' "Give me relief! Stop this agony!"-
that's all you can think of when you're
suffering with any acute pain.
And you can ret relief—quickly and
completely—with a very simple home
treatment.
"I was In bed with lumbago,"writes
C. L. Normandy of St. Paul, Minne
sota. "A friend told me about Sloan's
Liniment, and after using it one day,
I was able to walk around the house.
After three days I was able to go to
work, and now I'm as well as ever."
The reason that Sloan's Liniment
gives such remarkable relief is that it
gets right at the cause of the pain. It
stimulates the circulation throughout
the place where the pain is, and clears
out the germs that are causing it.
Right away you feel relief. The
pain stops, and soon you are fit as
ever. Get a bottle today and have It
on hand. All druggists—B6 cents.

These "Bull" Durham people

tired looking at such handsome

aging to men who looked at them
because they knew they could
never look like these fellows
