C, under the act of Congress ot March 3, 1879.__ Friday, November 22, 1935 The Thanksgiving Season N'ext month brings Thanksgiving, which is a feast worthy of our attention—not so much because we ex pect to feast on turkey ana rich gravy but because we have received so many rich blessings from our God and from our neighbors. It should give us pause to think how weak we are alone, being dependent for almost every blessine upon others than ourselves. Thanksgiving is a season that should remind us of our duty to do something for others. \\ e think of the hungry, poor, and needy; the orphan, especially comes before our eves, with the chalenge that we need to divide our blessings with those less fortunate than we. The country has gathered fair harvests dur ing the year, and nature has blessed us with a suf ficiencv that all may eat and live, provided we see that a fair distribution is made to all the people. Many times we figure that all the corn we gather is ours because we planted it and gathered it. But if we take proper thought, we will find that the land is not ours: that the principal elements of the harvest are not ours: that we are only tenants and occupants by the power of that over which we have no domin ion. Therefore, we cannot rightly claim all of our possessions, but a part of all we have should go to others. So let us enter the Thanksgiving -eason with a determination to meet in the proper spirit of helpful- ; ness to all mankind. 1 Crooks Flock To Large Assemblies The Miami city authorities have an ordinance re quiring every person visiting the city who has a previ ous court record to register at police headquarters, giving name, home residence and a history of all crimes for which he has been convicted or charged. A 90-dav prison sentence or a $500 fine may be im posed for failure to comply with this ordinance. Many crooks are following visitors to resots. They go as hoterl and restaurant waiters, or perhaps as ex perienced policemen, enabling them to get the lay of the land and pass the information over to confeder ates who make the raids where the most money is on hand. They are also following big assemblies everywhere. It is always a good plan to lock up your diamonds, silverware and other valuables when shows come to town, because there are so many prowlers usually following along. Of course, most folks know it is safer to keep their money in the bank, and everybody outside of an asy lum knows that when a man comes to you with some trick and tries to persuade you to play with him so you will make some easy money is both a liar and a robber. So beware of too many kind friends that try to do too much for you. The country was never i so full of thieves as it is now. They are only seeking some opportunity to beat you out of your money or ! valuables.
