This company is rapidly becoming known as one of the best engineering! firms in the"- South. Within the past two or three years its business has increased in a remarkable manner During November, Robert & Com pany have received contracts equal ing in amount their business for the preceding six months. No doubt the rapid industrial growth of the South is responsible to some extent for the good fortune of Robert & Company However, if ' we may judge from Franklin's experience .with this- com pany, we are forced to the conclu sion that the success of Robert & Company is due, primarily to their extensive experience and to the ex treme care they devote to any work they undertake In building our municipal m dam Robert & Company have not only shown close attention to all details but they have evidenced a persona1 interest exceeding any reasonable ex pectation which might have been an ticipated by virtue of their officia' connection with the project. In puchasing the electrical ma chinery the1 advice of Robert & Com pany was a great help to the town 'board. With the helping hand thus extended the board was able.tO save the town several thousand dollars. The interest of this firm has not ceased with the comrtletioi of the dam. They are now trying to assist Franklin in disposing of the surplus power. These efforts on the part of Robert & Company are thoroughly appreciated by the .people of Frank lin. A Brighter Outlook Great' Britain has signed tin peace treaties drawn up at Locarno in October and which have already been signed by France Germany and " Tta'y. Italy, has accepted the .'debt funding terms of the U. S. and will pay this country in full all that she owes her. The first 12 months of the Dawes plan have passed and Germany has kept every provision of it, 2nd has paid to the various allied nations more than the billion gold marks demanded of her.. So alto gether the skies across the sea are brighter than they have been at any time since the armistice was signed. There will be minor internal troubles over there, for each nation has do mestic problems to ' settle. But the outlook for a peace that will last for maiy years is now better than it has been for a generation. ' In ' other words, the Locarno pact makes it al most impossible for a serious war to start within the life of the present generation. We know you like to read good news so we, are offering this as the very best news we have been able to print in a long time. Will Santa Visit Maxwell School? Who will play Santa C'aus to the children of Maxwell school? There are now 20 boys at that school only four of whom arc being supported by their people. Franklin cannot well afford to allow the orphan boys to miss the joys of Christmas. Ernklin.

Of 'course. v,c can't do without our sports in Franklin, such as golf, football, practice, basketball and fox hunting . . . by the way, that re minds me, two of our old-time hunt ers, namely, Wile Zachary and Wint Horn, are fonder of the last named sport than 1 am of post, toasties. I heard 'em telling some of the boys about a recent race, they had. One would gather from their talk about their dogs that they were their prq cious children. Mr. Horn's voice took on a note of pride and his face was wreathed in smiles, he said,. "Boys old Eou sounded just like an Ionian harp, so clear that -I could hear her far above the rest of the pack, and Sam and Scott ran the sweetest I ever heard." Did you ever? If not you have missed something. These' chilly mornings find the boys standing around the streets and shak ing so it makes me think they have, a bad case of heebie-jeebies. 1 It's almost time for Uncle Bim to come in and rescue the beautiful Widow Zander. The suspense is causing me excrutiating pain. The whiskers on the boys' , upper lips, cut close and up-to-date, make me think of a one-eyed dog.' I have only seen two or three on Main street. Wonder how I'd look? How Times Change Already the "feel of Christmas" is getting in the air and each day now will find it growing stronger. Even though it may not hold the joy for some of our older citizens that it htliL-in the days of their youth we are safe in saying that not one man or woman in Franklin would vote to abolish it. . We like to think back to Christmas seasons gone- by, . and. especially to compare the customs of celebrating it then with customs-of the' present 'day, Time was when it was not con sidered good form for a young man to. give his!best girl articles of wear ing, appprel. It indicated- that her people yere neglecting to clothe her. His gift had to be an album, a toilet set 'or something along that line. To day Christmas giving is on a more sensible basis,'' and gifts of service, gifts the recipient can get some good out of, are the most appropriate. To day, too, dishes or silverware, labor saving devices for the house and even new-fangled cooking utensils are. fav orite gifts now, instead of pictures and gew-gaws that did not possess comfort or lighten the household burdens. .. . . ; Give... a woman something; service-' able . to wear or something she can use in her home and you arc glad dening her heart. Give a man some thing" for his auto, or something" he can wear besides neckties, and you will' win his thanks. Human nature hasn't changed, .even if Christmas has. It is only in recent, years trhat we have learned human nature craves something serviceable. ". A Good Example Two Washington fire guards were arrested for smoking and for leav ing campfires burning in the forest they were "protecting." An Oregon man was fined $100 for refusing to help put out a fire he had started. saying that he had lived, there for 47 years and he "knew all about fires." The Northwest has just gone through a bad fire, season; it would have been worse if extraordinary precautions had not been taken. It will take a lifetime to put many burned over areas back to the con dition they were in last spring. A law that punishes the careless, de fiant' or criminal user of our forests is a good law that needs rigid en forcement. The Manufacturer.

Thanksgiving Day Should Be More Widely Observed a: ii Major My !c,v i ! . .. i uoikUt if you your unliable paper tin 1A to the community tor a' bitter am more widely observed .Tnx.ik'.igKmb' Day next .year. In our little town there were twr' services held yesterday,' but less than one Until of our people attended those services. While the services were in progress most of our business places wee open and doing business. Thir is rather a sad state of affairs when our President issues a nation-wide poclaniation that all the people of these United Sta'tes observe a cer tain day as a 'day of Thanksgiving and that we close our business and as semble in God's House for a Thanks giving service. So many of us misunderstand the real meaning of Thanksgiving Day. It is not a day set apart by the church when we shall say certain prayers to God thanking Him for His goodness to us. The .church sets apart every day for that purpose. Thanksgiving Day is a day set apart by the national, government when every community shall in a' concrete way in "a corporate act give thanks for the return of harvest. Will you please ask ( this "whole community to begin now planning fo a real observance of next Thanks giving Day. May the people get their supplies the day before in order that the merchants may take the day off and be with their, families. If it is not practical for the business places to close down the whole day it would be a great help if they could close during the hours of worship. This worship should be a corporate act of the whole community. Why can't we all assemble in one of our larger church, buildings and have a real thanksgiving service. Have the fruitr of the earth in evidence. Plenty of farmers- would gladly donate their best ears of corn, etc., their best ap ples, pumpkins, etc., and then after service these offerings of first fruit; could be taken out to some poor fanv ily to give them cheer and gladness. It seems to me .that it is up to the ministers of our community to plan and carry out such sevices on na tional holidays and I. am sure every minister in.. Franklin will gladly do his part if the people as a whole, wii1 cooperate May all of us, men and women, ancj especially boys and girls tFy to observe next Thanksgiving Day in the spirit in which it.. should be observed, and may the mayor of the town issue a proclamation call ing upon all the citizens to stipend work and join in a real observance of Thanksgiving Day. ' If you. think it advisable, please publish this letter, but I am . sure that the ministers of Franklin can count upon your help and the help of your paper for a , real Thanksgiving ob servance next year. Very faithfully yours. - E. J. PIPES. Resolutions of Respect Your committee appointed ito draw suitable Resolutions of Respect to the- memory of, our late Brother D. W.
