LET IS (JIVE THANKS.
It has been the beautiful custom
ever since this nation was founded,
for the chief executive to each year
set aside a day in the late fail, after
the earth has yielded her bounty
and the grains and the fruits have
been gathered in, upon which the
people unite In a general giving of
thanks to tie Creator and Giver of
all for his boundless mercies and
the rich largesses that he has be-
stowed upon the people and the na-
tion as a whole.
It seems to us that in these days
we have greater and deeper causes
for thanksgiving than ever before.
In previous years, thanks have
been due for the privilege of living
and having plenty with which to
sustain life; for freedom from gen-
eral suffering, from plague; for our
peaceful relations with all the peo-
ples of the earth.
But in this year of 1913, for how
much more should this nation to be
thankful to the Divine Providence!
In this year 1b witnessed the
restoration of the governing powur
to all the pople—the government has
become hideed a government of the
people and for the people. The
shackles of Industrial slavery are
being broken away, the common
weal has been Bet upon a pedestal
far above private Interest, and this
blessed nation Is coming Into the
fullest and most complete freedom
ever known.
For all of these things we are
duly thankful. We are also thank-
ful that our own state of Oklahoma
has successfully weathered the
storms of adversity, and has re-
mained Industrially and politically
sound. We are tahnkful for the
plenty with which this fair land Is
blessed—that hunger and want are
practically unknown.
That our own beautiful city has
prospered and has remained sound
and vigorous during periods when
It appeared that all must go, we I
are also thankful. For our great j
educational Institutions, now near-
lng completion, and for the success- |
ful Issue of our various public en- j
terprlses. we are thankful to Him j
who, unseen hut ail-pervading and
all-directing has blessed our ef-
forts.
And for ourselves personally, we
thank the All-wise Creator for such
measure of health and strength aB
haB been granted us, for bis preser-
vation of our bodies, and for such
vigor as we have possessed to fight
successfully the battles of life.
At this time the News-Herald de-
sires to express to the people of
Shawnee and Pottawatomie County,
sincere thanks for the continued ex-
pression of their confidence, and es-
pecially to the merchants of Shaw-
nee our sincere appreciation of their
continued liberal patronage.
The
Thanksgiving Spirit
The Officers of this bank are heartily THANKFUL that
ALL WISE PROVIDENCE has seen best to bestow upon
our State and community manifold blessings. We are thankful
for the prosperity of the season, bringing to us the privileges ol
effort and the realization in a measure ol our wholesome desires
and successes. We are thankful for the good will of s* many
staunch patrons of this bank, we are thankful for their prosperity
and rejoice in their advancement in material welfare. We are
thankful for the steady and substantial growth of our community
in it's business interests, being thankful that we are building a
solid foundation for to-morrow. We are thankful for the many
bright and ambitious young people of our community, whom we
believe are building for themselves strong characters that shall
make them the bulwark of the community for the best and the
noblest.^We are thankful with you this THANKSGIVING
DAY. THE OFFICERS
of the
National Bank ol Commerce
more easily met than expected, ow-
ing to the assistance offered during
the autumn by the Treasury. Funds
will begin soon after the opening of
the new year to return from the
West, and bank reserves will then
considerably increase. We are ap-
proaching a period of preparation
for January investment demands.
Our leading bankers will probably
exert their influence towards better-
ing conditions as far as within their
power."

—I can Bee it all. And there, where
the silver Btar Is shining through the
crimson bars of the sunset, that is
China. Over there is Manila. Yon-
der is Port Arthur. I know It all
I have been there. Well, beyond
the gates of the sunset there is
another land, farther away than the
stars. I have never seen it. I have
never seen any one who has been
there. But all that I know about the
Oriental landB wherein 1 have jour-
neyed, Is the merest conjecture com-
pared with my knowledge of the
Blessed Land which eye hath not
seen, that fair and happy country I
do not know. Know It with a cer-
tainty, a positive knowledge which
has never been shadowed by a cloud
of doubt passing over my belief. I
may be confused In my earthly geo-
graphical locations. But this heaven
of ours—no man, no thing, no cir-
cumstance has ever shaken my faith
In that. As the sun sinks lower.
Faith shines more brightly, and
Hope, lifting her voice in a higher
key, sings the songs of fruition. So,
every evening when the sun goes
down, 1 see that shadowless land of
eternal noon. I know it is there—
not because 1 have seen it, but
because I do Bee it."
T5IE MOMiY MARKET
Of financial conditions in the
United States, Henry Clews in his
weekly review says:
"Before very long the market
should feel the influence of easier
money rates. Curative forces have
been quietly at work for some
months past, and chief of these
has been the conservative policy per-
sistently followed In banking cir-
cles. Our banking situation, though
not entirely satisfactory, today is
better than six monthB ago. Re-
serves are being strengthened; loans
are made with Increasing caution,
and we have an ample credit bal-
ance abroad from whence we could
readily draw gold if necessary. This
incipient Improvement In the mone
tary situation, though not very con
splcuous, iB fundamental and should
continue. The demands in the In
terlor for crop purposes have been

tendi. And God's people will pros-
per as never before. Malachi 3:7—
Return unto me. and I will return
unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
But ye say, Wherein shall we re-
turn? Will a man rot) God? Yet ye
rob me. But ye say, Wherein have
we robbed thee? In tithes and of-
ferings. Ye are cursed with a curse,
for ye rob me, even this whole na-

food in my house, and prove me
(now herewith,, saith Jehovah of
hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing that there shall not
be room enough to receive it And
I will rebuke the devourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the
fruits qf your ground; neither shall
your vine cast its fruit before the
time in the field, saith Jehovah of
hosts. And all nations shall call
you happy; for ye shall be a de-
lightsome land, saith Jehovah of
hosts." Here is a challenge from
the Lord God to us as truly as it
was to the people of that day. May
He give to us the faith to accept
it and thus put Him to the test
and we can be sure that he will
fulfill His promises as given in
this great scripture.

Dr. Robert Burdette, pastor emer-
itus of the Baptist Temple, Los An-
gelas. who has been forced to retire
from the active ministry on account
of bad health, sent this beautiful
message to his people. Every ev-
ening as I sit in the sunroom and
watch the sun go down beyond the
rim of the blue Pacific. I know what
is over there. There is no mystery in
that unseen space beyond the sun-
set. I have been there. I have Jour-
neyed in those lauds. There, where

IN siimminir up our 1 1S business nf feel the exhllsratiuir
extract of eternal optomlsm. and the mental atmosphere
Cor the coming of 1914 Is cleared like a gentle summer's
rain. The unprecedented business of the past year makes
us give out a thank sgWIng message ol good chcr which
radiates through onr entire system.
We are thankful that we are liiine and inexpressibly
pleased with this year's business and optomistlc oxer pros,
peets for another year. Judging from onr start we confiden-
ts I h believe we will finish first in the free for all race now
in progress. Further deliberating upon the things for which
we are thankful, we want to mention especially onr apprecia-
tion of the patronage given us by the oltliens of Shawnee and
Pottawatomie County who hate made it possible for us to
express the above sentiment. With a harrah for the past and
a bright expectancy for the future we await yonr friendly co.
operation.

depend on God for his ability to
get even. A few years ago a man
was coming to Texas broken in
health and also broken in business.
On the back end of a train as he
came through Arkansas he said, "Oh,
God, restore me health, go with me
and bless me* and I will give you one-
tenth of all that I get." His health
is restored, his old debts are paid
and he is a prosperous business man
in Dallas, Texas today. He did not
stop with a tenth but as God bless-
ed him, gave much more than a
tenth. Less than one year ago 1
heard him say that within three or
four years he hoped to give to God
nine-tenths of his income and live
on the one-tenth. It was no mis-
take for him to treat God right be-
%>re he paid his debts.
Another may say. 1 can hardly live
on all my Income, it is therefore
out of the question. 1 can't do It.
I answer this by saying that I am
reliably informed that there is a
Christian business man in Dallas,
Texas, who has a standing offer of
$100 to any man, that will religiously
give one-tenth of his income to the
Lord, if he does not find that he
can support his family better on the
remaining nine-tenths than he could
on the whole ten-tenths. This is
an opportunity for some doubting
Thomas to make $100.
But another man may say, I do
not know how much it is, my bu-
siness Ib uncertain, etc. Then you
had better know more about your
business or quit before you have to.
If you will do this, It will be neces-
sary f6r you to know more about
your business and this will prove to
be a blessing to your business.
It will be a great day for us
when we seittle this question If we
settle it right. Then giving will be
a Joy. We will give much more. It
will relieve us of a lot of worry.

Jim Power, the Boston miler, have
joined the team of American ath-
letes which is to invade Australia
in an attempt to prove to the other
side of the world that American
athletes are the best on the globe.
Meyer will run in 100-yard and
200-yard dashes.
Power is the Boston mile runner
who has proved a sensation in
amateur circles. He, with Klviat,
stands at the head of the milers
in the United States, if not in the
world. He believes he will be able
to convince the Australians that he
is the fastest man they ever have
seen when he reaches there on the
American invasion of the Antipodes.

tary of the state board of agricul-

the active affairs of our business to extend our sincere thanks to
those loyal friends and patrons who have enabled us duiing the
past year to offer better service, cheaper prices and higher grade
