THANKSGIVING
come?
This year again
Thanksgiving. Three centur
ies ago the Pilgrim fathers
landed on Plymouth Rock and
offered up thanks ot Almighty
God for a safe deliverance to
a new land where they might
be free.
This thanksgiving every true
American has much to be
thankful for. Only three years
ago we were just emerging
from the greatest conflict oi
armed powers the world has
ever known. We were fight
ing for the same principles
which caused the old Pilgrim
fathers to offer thanks to God
for safe deliverance from their
persecutors.
Through the efforts ot fight
ing Americans and our allies,
the world learned again that
right must prevail and we were
yietorious over would-be world
powers whose only vision
would put the world in chains
Just now at this Thanks
giving we are still emerging
from this vast struggle. We
are gaining ground in this di
rection every day. The great
differences between the war
time clamour and peace con
ditions have been a big prob
lem in our national, state anc
local affairs. But we are or
the high road of readjustmen
and better times now prevai
for all. The future holds r
better outlook for us than i
did those three years ago, oi
two years ago, or even las'
year. Today is the day oi
deeds and we tuni our head*
and minds onward to the fu
ture.
Nowhere can Thanksgiving
be more appropriately observ
ed this year or any oth°r year
than in the rural communitie.5
like our own. Novembei

cloth and told to beware of
Greece. The baby Wales for
another drumstick and we have
a League of Nations right at
home.
This thanksgiving forget,
your wo’T'es for the day; think
how lucky you are; everything
is in our favor. Then let us
be thankful.
SCHOOL DISCIPLIEN
Parents sometimes claim
that this or that teacher in
the schools has no discipline
and can’t govern the children.
While such a teacher may have
her own faults, yet in the ma
jority of cases the trouble is
with the homes.
Jf children are permitted to
do ubout as they want to in
their home environment, they
are not likely to be docile
when they get to school. They
have acquired a disrespect for
authority and they feel that
they can do as they please.
A school where there is such
an element of opposition, is a
mighty hard one to control.
BRASS AS MONEY
Man in Newark Uses Brass
and Saves Money
We heard of a good citizen
of Newark the other day who
does not take The Journal,
but borrows it from his neigh
bor. We find satisfaction in
. the fact that this good citizen
desire to read The Journal
gives him the brass to ask for
his neighbor’s.

I-/ARK NESS is their stock in trade.
They work by stealth—unheard and unseen—
their movements cloaked in secrecy. It’s hon
est folks that seek the light. They are the
only ones who can risk it.
It’s the same way in business. The mer
chant who is not sure of his goods does not
dare to advertise. Advertising would hasten
the end of his business career—put him to a
test he could not meet.
The merchant who advertises, deliberately
invites your inspection. He tells you about his
product and then lets it stand on its own
merits. YOl CAN DEPEND ON HIM. HE
KNOWS HIS PRODUCT IS GOOD.
I hat’s one reason why it pays you to read
the advertisements. It is through advertising
that you are able to keep in touch with the
good things that progressive business men are
handling for your benefit and convenience.
Advertisements throw a powerful light
on the very things that concern you most.
