Real Thanksgiving Tliis
Year.
Today is a day for Nation-wide
Thanksgiving 11 day set apart by pro-
clamation of the President of the United
States and by the Governors of the sev-
eral states as a day of thanks giving for
the blessings received during the year.
The people of Beaver county can
truly give thanks totiay in a hearty sin-
cero manner for they have bcon blessed
with a bountiful harvest and success
I has crowned their efforts. The future
! looks bright for continued prosperity
and God's goodness and mercy is evi-
denced on every hand. Our county has
been free from pestilence or ravaging
disease and death has dealt gently with
us. Our people generally are well and
happy have comfortable homes and
well-filled cellars and granaries which
voucli-safp for them and theirs a winter
of comfort ease and abundance. As a
people we should bo deeply grateful for
these blessings and not forget to give
thanks to the Giver of all good gifts for
the blessings He has showered upon us.
If there are those among us who are less
fortunate than ourselves wo should not
forget to share our blessings with them
so that all may have greater cause for
Thanksgiving.
There is hardly any need to say
that if ever' a Thanksgiving day carried
a meaning to American people it should
this year. With most of the nations of
Europe engaged in what will probably
go down in history as the greatest war
of all times and our country at peace
with harvests that have seldom been bet-
ter the American people ha'vo never had
more cause to be truly thankful. When
wo think of the' death suffering and des-
olation In tho homes over"which' the war
cloud has cast its terrible shadow our
heart goes out in sympathy to those
poor destitute ones and we(could scarce-
ly fail to offer a prayer of thanksgiving
that tho dove of peace hovers over our
own fair land and that the "Horn of
Plenty" has spilled 'a goodly share of Its
' richest contents in our midst.
Let us not then fail to show our ap-
preciation and thankfulness for all these
blessings by a future life of consecra
Ition usefulness and right living.

Ole Olson woaring a troubled look
accosted the villago undrrtsker with
"Ay ahal'lak to know about des liar po-
lar bear." "Why a polar bear" said
the undertaker "Is a large white ani
mal that lives in the fur north where
there is ice and snow and when win-
ter sets in he makts his lair under a
big snow bank where he sleeps for six
months without awakening. But Ole
why are you interested in polar bears?"
"Vail" said Ole "Yon Swenson has
yust died des morning and a teller ben
eskin me to be a polar bear at Yon's
funeral but I hBo to go way oop nort
and step sax months in snow aw tank
Ay shal lat som nodder falior do dis

Tho other day a very prominent citi-
zen died. The big dallies chronicled
the fact that ho had arrived In town in
a dazed and semi-conscious condition
and after a day or two tailed to recover
and passed away. Those who knew
the individual best claimed the news
papers were mighty charitable and that
If the facts had been published he was
simply drunk and booze had wound up
his earthly career Hn was a man of
likeable characteristics genial whole-
souled Intelligent but had boozed as
long as his physical machinery could
stand the strain and whau the pressure
became too great the boilers exploded
I the ship floundered and Dually went

exempliiled on all sides among rich

"TRAVELER'S EXCURSION" A PLEAS
ANT AFFAIR.
Tho "Traveler's Kxourslon" which
was conducted Friday night by the
Marthas was a very pleasant affair and
those who Journeyed with them on
that ccea'ion enjoyed n very pleasant
evening Tickets for tho round trip
were on sale ai Mrs. W. II. llobcrtson's
establishment aud W. IL Tliginaa and
Jus. ij. Crabtree conducted tho excur-
sion The Braver Meade it Engle-
wood departed right on time and when
the train was called a general scram-
ble for seats ensued. One emigrant
party consisting nf father mother
maiden aunt and live over-grown
children including th "twin" who
arrived Just on tho evo of ' depart-
ure of the train and hnd a most ex-
citing time procuring tickets and get-
ting aboard furnished the greater
share of tho fun for the journey en-
route. The ilrst stop was made at the
Clilf House whero tho Ladies' orches-
tra furnihcd music while a lunch of
sandwiches and coffeo was being served
by Mr and Mrs W. T. Qulnn. The
short stop at this point for lunch passed
all too quickly but wlien the whistle
blew and the conductor cried "All
aboard!" the passengers beat a Imstj
retreat and ere soon on their nny re-
joicing. After a hard and tircsom
j mrney of many miles the train drew
up at tho Half Way House. Here Mr.
and Mrs. W. II. Thomas served the
travelers with apple and pumpkin pie
and Mrs. A. G Thomas and her sister
Miss Naomi Nlles rendered some ex-
cellent piano duetts. The travelers
thought they would like to stop at
that point fur some time and explore
the many beauties of Nature in that
vicinity but they were allowed only
time to take tho "Hoyal Gorge" when
they were hurried on their nay The
run to tho next and last slop was with-
out Incident and all nrnv.d at their
Journey's end in fine spirits. They
made a rush tor the Lnst Chance lunrh
counter where they were served cake
and fruit salad with whipped cream
by Mr and Mrs Jrs. II Crabtree.
Being loath to separate after so pleas-
ant nn excursion together the trav-
elers lingered for some time at thU
point having fun at the expense of the
"furriners" but the emigrants all ap-
peared to be Jolly folks and didn't seem
to mind furnitihfug amusement for the
crowd Th"y conversed (?) at times In
their ' native tongue" at which time
they doubtless expressed their opinion
of the punsters without tho latter be-
ing any the wiser finally at a late
hour the crowd broke up all agreeing
that toe first excursion of the B.M". &
E. was a most enjoyable ono and ex-
pressing themselves as more- than
pleased with the trip

California and Ohio out of the six
states in which statewide prohibition

WHAT THE FARM WOMAN NEEDS.
What the farm women needs If any-
thing is appreciation. Her husband
and children and neighbors have taken
her as a matter of fact and often do
not consider her wonderful influence
for good nor her usefulness until it is
too late. When she lies down and dies
her husband realizes what she waB to
him. He sees the many things undone
that were scarcely nntlcable under her
administration she did them so kind-
ly so gently nnd so modestly.
What the farm women needs says
the Oklahoma Farmer is to be appre-
ciated to be loved and honored for her
virtues She Is the mainstay of our
civilization the counselor and moral
support uf her husband and the whole
dependence of her children
Beaver County Pioneer to Preach Here
THE OLD-FASHIONED MOTHERS.
Thank GoJ some of us have an old-
fashioned mother. Not a women of
the period painted and enameledwith
all her sooiety manners and fine dress-
es white Jeweled liandB thatnevor felt
the clasp of baby lingers but a dear
loving old-fashioned mother witli
a sweet voice eyes into whose clear
depth the love light shone and brown
hair just threaded with silver lying
smooth upon Iter faded cheek. The
hands worn with toll gently gutded
our ste'-s in- childhood and smoothed
our cheeks in sickness ever reaching
nut to us In yearning tenderness Bles-
sed Is the memory of an old-fiishloncd
mother It floats to us like the beau-
tiful perfume of some wood blossom.
The mushi of other voices may be lost
hut the enchanting memory of her's
will echo in oui soul forever.

LAKEMP MIRROR WANTS TO KNOW.
Last week's LaKemp Mirror re.
printed tho Item from tho Ivanhoc
Nens relative to the fee paid Commis-
sioners McLain and Hagan tor Inspect-
ing bridges and os is genorally their
custom without taking the troublo to
Investigate condems Hagan and would
have their readers believe that he drew
an unjust allowance from thn county
for Inspecting tho Knowlcs and Gate
bridges. Since wn explained the mat-
tor in question quite fully last week it
is not necessary to comment further
upon it. Anybody who cares to see
may nntv clearly understand the small
(inference and vt 111 know that Mr. Ha-
gan did not make an unjust claim
Those wiiodo not want to know would
not uccopt a plain statement of facts
tnyway so what's the use tJylug to ex-
plain to them. Newspaper publishers
as a ruin try to ascertain tho truth in
uch nrfuters before making any state-
ments which they do not know to be
true but the rule which governs real
newspapers does not seem to apply to
thn little sheets dotted here and there
over the country for political and ad-
vertising purposes IVrhaps In the in-
stance of its attack on Mr. Hagan the
LaKemp Mirrordid not mean justwhat
it said but It should be more careful
how it says things. In the same issue
in an article Intended to boost for the
LaKemp Holler Mill among other
things tho article goes on to suy "The
high prices and long freight hauls one
of our most needed commodities Is now
within our reach." That Isn't very
complimentary to tho LaKemp Mill
Looks like from rending thatartlaic
that the LaKemp Mill wax bringing
the 'high prices" right home to the
people of the South Flats. Anyway
who ever heard of "high prices and
long freight hauls being one of our
most needed commodities?" We al-
ways thought those things were the
last thing we needed Of course the
Mirror meant to say It that way but
they missed saying what they meant
by a lung shot. Perhaps they mado
the same mistake in reference to Mr.
Hagan.
