HOW TO COMPLETE
THANKSGIVING
One of the greatest joys in
the world ia the knowledge of hav
ing done something for a less
fortunate being.
The Bible teaches kindness, for
giveness, love and charity, but
the greatest of these is the latter,
and that noble sentiment is im
planted in every man’s heart.
There is no mpnoply on charity,
either. ’■I
The rich and the poor alike can
indulge, and it is doubtful if
there is a more genuine pleasure
than that derived from having
rendered a hel p ful se rvice- to the
man who is down.
There are many in Griffin who
will perhaps require the touch of
charitable hands — to whom a
good dinner on Thanksgiving day
will come as a blessing.
It isn't the mere money that
makes of charity the blessing
that it is.
It’s the spirit back of it.
The poor man’s quarter will
do almost as much good as the
rich man’s banknote.
The hospitality of Griffin is one
of its greatest practical assets as
a progressive community.
:7v It bubbles over with light
heartedness, inspires confi
dence and hope and imparts to
the recipient that indescribable
satisfaction which makes him feel
like “living again.
It will increase energy, multi
ply productiveness of hand and
brain, inspire renewed vigor, con
fidence and loyalty to future in
terests and associations.
The characteristics of good na
tured and charitable man with
the “glad hand,” exercised with
in their own legitimate spheres,
are in reality the things that
make life worth living, and do
more than anything else to pro
mote the “brotherhood of man. M
BIG CHRISTMAS TRADE
ANTICIPATED.
Merchants and retailers are
preparing this year for the larg
est Christmas in their history.
The famous “silk shirt” Christ
mas of 1919, when the country
went into an unparalleled era of
buying at extravagant prices
will be bettered, according to
forecasts, but the character of
the 1924 Christmas will be vast
ly different.
In 1919 the rush for silk shirts
carried the silk business into a
billion dollar year, making the
first time that any country had
taken leadership in silk purchases
from the Chinese.
This year, even at lower levels,
business men look for a total vol
ume of sales that will exceed
the 1919 record, largely from
flannels, woolen goods, broad
cloths, pongees, etc., instead of
silk.
ORIGIN OF THE EDITOR.
A little boy was requested to
write an essay the other day and
“The Newspaper” was the sub
ject.
Here it the result: “I don’t
know how newspapers came to be
in the world. I don’t think God
does either. He ain’t got nothing
to say about them, and the editor
ain’t in the Bible.
"I think the editor is one of the
missing links you hear about, and
stayed in the brush until after
the flood, then stepped out and
wrote it up, and has been here
ever since.
l I don’t think he f evgT> dies. I
never saw a dead one, and never
heard of one getting licked.
"Our paper is a mighty poor
’un.
"The editor goes without under
clothes all winter, don’t wear no
sox, and paw ain’t paid his sub
scription in five years and don’t
expect to. ft
THE BOOTLEGGER PAYS
A widow in Syracuse, N. Y.,
is awarded a verdict of $1,500
against a cafe keeper who is ac
cused of selling her husband
liquor.
After drinking the liquor the
husband went out and killed him
self, which is no uncommon re
sult of imbibing current alcoholic
beverages.
This is said to be the third
verdict of the kind returned in
Syracuse .in the last two years,
under a state law which makes
liquor salesmen responsible for
the acts of purchasers.
It may be an unwarranted in
vasion of the sacred rights of
bootleggers; but if such a law
were generally adopted and en
forced, it would add mightily to
the efficacy of prohibition.
The head of a surety company
says a man with a hobby is a
good risk, because "he is too
busy with his pet project to take
other people’s money.” That is,
unless his little hobby is taking
other people’s mon e y .

Transmission of photographs
over long distances, particularly
between America and Europe, was
outlined recently by General J.
G. Harbord, president of the Ra
dio Corporation of America, as
one of the radio developments
Congressman Guy {lardy, of
Colorado, has a faded old clipping
in his possession about the diffi
culties of a pioneer newspaper
out in his country, which reads:

It does not do to become ab

teacher in a high school class
was an ardent billard player in
off hours. One day he said: “Now
we start with this formula."
He took up the pointer and
advanced to the blackboard, only
to be interrupted by a shout of
laughter from the class. In his
absence of mind he had first
chalked the end of the stick, just
as if it had been a billiard cue.

AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN.
Great Britain’s new secretary
of state in charge of Britain’s
foreign affairs, Austen Chamber
lain, seems pre-eminently fitted
for the post. He is ode of the
empire’s leading diplomats, and
he comes rightfully by his abil
ity. He was “raised” in,, the
atmosphere of state councils.
Chamberlain’s father, Joseph,
successful manufacturer of Bir
mingham, was recognized as a
master mind in the development
of domestic and colonial policies
of the empire by the time young
Austen finished his schooling.
Master Mind.
Joseph Chamberlain was then,
in 1884, as president of the board
of trade that is to say, minister
of commerce in American sense—
one of the dominant figures of
the Gladstone cabinet and was
recognized abroad as the coming
man in England.
Welcomed.
His son was therefore welcomed
with particular cordiality by the
leading public men of France, % in
Germany, in Italy and in the Dual
Empire. Having made a careful
study of their languages, his in
tercourse with them presented no
obstacles, and in a number of
instances, notably in the case of
the first Prince Bismarck, he
was admitted to an extraordinary
degree of intimacy.
Immediately prior to the world
war Chamberlain was chairman
of the royal commission on In
dian finance and currency and
from 1915 to 1917 he was sec

which office he resigned to be

near future.
____No Umit.
He did not limit transmission
through the ether to photographs
alone, but intimated that it would
soon be possible to flash pictures
of printed matter across the At
lantic at the speed of sunlight.
General Harbord said: “Radio
sets now are bought ready made,
just as one buys an automobile,
a camera or a bicycle. One rea
son for this is the fact that radio
is now universal in its appeal.
Outwardly, at least, the modern
radio receiver is no longer a com
plicated device requiring the ex
perience of an expert to operate.
It is instead an instrument with
controls so simple that the veriest
novice can operate it at first
sight.
Radio’s Real Mission.
<< I Wish to emphasize the real
mission of radio. We who are
engaged .in its development do not
regard it as a medium or an
agency designed to supplant
existing methods of communica
tion, or to do something which
is now already being done quite
effectively and economically by
the land telephone. On the con
trary, we are developing radio
in the direction of service to be
rendered, voices to be heard, in
ways not now possible by existing
means—in short, to make the lot
of mankind easier and more am
ple.”

ffiMlCIOE
.CATTS
Chicago, .Nov. 22.-*-The election
of “Ma” Ferguson as governor of
Texas was far from being a vic
tory for woman suffrage, but
rather “a horrible example,” Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Catt, the suf
frage leader, said in an address
REPUDIATES 1HE
RUSSIAN TREATY
London, Nov. 22.—Great Britain,
through the medium of the new
conservative regime, has repudi
ated the Anglo-Russian treaties
negotiated by the late socialist
government of Premier Ramsay
MacDonald,
Austen Chamberlain, foreign
minister of the Baldwin govern
ment, has dispatched a note to
Moscow, advising the soviet,union
that the document has been re
viewed and rejected.
Simultaneousry Chamberlain sent
a second note to tne Russian gov
ernment, affirming the authenticity
of the “Zinoviev letter,” and re
fusing to accept the Russian ex
planation that the letter was a
forgery and sent without the
knowledge or consent of the soviet
union.
Rejects Proposed Treaty.
“I have the honor t?> inform
you,” Chamberlain wrote to Chris
tian’ Rakovsky, soviet union repre
sentative in London, “that, after
due consideration, His Majesty’s
government find themselves unable
to recommend the treaties to the
consideration of .parliament, or to
submit them to,, the king for his
signature.”
Continuing, the foreign secre
tary state'd:
“I must further observe that
you would entirely misapprehend
the character of representations
mftfi Ft 8 , "yaU by my predeceYsor Tf
you supposed they dealt with
Zinoviev’s letter only.
“Activities of which His
Majesty’s government complain
are not confined to that particular
letter, but on the contrary extend
to the whole body of revolutionary
propaganda, of which the letter
is a fair specimen, and which i^
sometimes conducted in secret and
sometimes, as you rightly remark
ed, not concealed.
Chance for Loan Fades.
Thus passes the international
document wherein the socialist
government of England pledged
itself to guarantee a loan to the
soviet union.
POINT OF BREW
Mr. Homebrew (to his better
half): Darling, don’t forget to
tell the gardener to dig all the
grass roots most carefully out of
our front lawn. The darned stuff
is ruining our dandelion crop.
Boss-Ruled.
Mrs. Catts alluded to Mrs. Fer
guson as “the boss dominated wo
man governor-elect of Texas,”
who, she said “was voted in by
a hide-bound though indignant
democracy which preferred her to
any republican. • I
She quoted from a speech which
she said former Governor Fergu
son, husband of “Ma,” made at
the democratic national conven
tion in 1916:
“I am opposed to giving women
the vote,” he said. “God Himself
commanded woman to remain
within her home and be obedient
to her husband. I shall stand
with God.”
Invited Out.
“So Pa has invited Ma out of
the house where God put her, ft
said Mrs. Catt.
HUSBAND AND WIFE GO
BACK TO HOUSEKEEPING
AFTER 25 YEARS APART
Danbury, Conn., Nov. 22.—Mr.
and Mrs. Stephen O’Dell, 74 and
70, respectively, have resumed
housekeeping here after a separ»
atton of 25 years. School day
chums, they married 35 years ago,
in New Milford, where they lived
happily together for 10 years,
when O’Dell suddenly disappear
ed. Going to Bridgeport, O’Dell
assumed the name of Jack Hus
sey, obtained employment and
remained there until recently.
Becoming homesick, O’Dell said
he revisited his old haunts in New
Milford. Through the niedium of
friends he and his wife were re
united.

^ O. LAWRENCE HAWTHORNE —
So often it’s a little thing
That makes a man or breaks a man!
Some unimportant happening—
And good luck overtakes a man;
Your chance to win may come to you —
Just when you least expect it to!
Perhaps today some grief or pain ^
Possesses you, distresses you,
But loss may quickly turn to gain
And happiness then blesses you.
The little things in life, I hold,
ggg|||M ay point the way to joys untold.
The magic wand of little things
, Is ruling us and schooling us,
And whether we be knaves or kings
mmm It often, too, is fooling us;
We fail to pay sufficient heed I
rJM , 1 T° w hat may come of word or deed.
,ti So often it’s a little thing
'll That breaks makes
a man or a man;
When life seems most discouraging
Then fate steps in and stakes a man;
T ; Your chance to win may come to you
n Just when you least expect it to!
