More than ever today, does
this section of the country have
reason to whole heartedly re
joice this Thanksgiving.
The freedom from such ter
rors as have existed in Central
a and its district since Armist
bice Day is alone enough for a
big Thanksgiving.
It is no time, though, for
is to smugly pat ourselves on
he back and boast of our good
ortune, for at any mne the evil
nay spring up. It is at El a
nar, as is evidenced by the
veek‘s news.
Ye must ever demonstrate our
pod Americanism, never per
litting loose talk concerning
ur Country and Territory.
By this means we can do our
mall part to keep up the honor
ur soldiers fought for.

niling, undeniably the strong
$t country, except England, in

lias won the war and perhaps
from her point of view she has.
She exhibits no shame, no re
pentance. She waged it for
, commercial supremacy over her I
her chief rivals, France and Bel
gium, and to win from Britain
her carrying trade.”

to buy stamps at the post office
unless one proffers the ex u t
amount of t i • purchase.
