It seems to me, Ttianks-givin' Day is good for people
every way,—I woiitdn’t want to doubt it. . . . I’m certain
that our blessed Lord forgives our sins an’ keeps Mis word
—we couldn’t live without it I I’ve noticed that the thank
ful man, who docs the very best he can to
show the Lord he’s grateful—is happier a
thousand-fold, than one whose gratitude is
cold, an’ thrives by bein’ hateful I'd rulhor

If 1 must dine on rabbit roast, bekasc I can't dig up the

Skeleton View of New Curt)..
Purauit Plan., Showing Metnl
Construction.
The tost performance of » new
Curtiss Pursuit Plnno lias caused a
■ensation in the Army and Navy ser
vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Race
at Detroit, in which a new all-Ameri
can motor finished in the first four
places, it has been expected that
military planes of a super-type would
make their appearance at almost any
time. The actual performance of the
I first pursuit ship of a series surpasses
expectation. •
In many respects, this aeroplane Is
a departure from precedent. It uses
the same Curtiss motor used in the
racing ships at Detroit. It is equipped
with wing radiators, the most radical
advance in the art of cooling a motor
since 1917, and which reduces the
resistance of the air almost to ze.o.
These features were expected. The
construction, however, is snid to pos
sess. also, a new feature, in that the
antlre machine can be stored for a
period of twenty years, if necessary,

FOREST# KEEP ON MOVE
LIKE ALL LIVING THINGS.
—llow do we get the Idea that
a forest Is u stationary, Immov
able thing? Does not even dra
matic history relate how “Bur-
ham Wood came to Dunslnane?”
Nature does not believe In the
static. In the flux of life the
woods are not set apart; they
travel on with the Immeraorable
procession. An English scientist
assumed that “It is the aim and
desire of every living species to
dominate the enrth“; and did not
the agencies of checks and bal
ances about equal that desire, a
given species would proceed to
populate the firmament—even to
elephants or mosquitoes.
The forest has four steeds to
carry It upon this conquering
crusade—wind, water, birds and
animals—the legions of the nut
bearing trees rety most upon an
imals, chiefly on the rodent
breeds, who have the hoarding
Instinct. Squirrels and chip
munks are often unwitting
planters of nuts and acorns.
Gophers and woodmlce, porcu
pines and the diminutive shrews,
to say nothing of opossums and
raccoons, are the means where
by the oaks, hickories, beeches,
butternuts and persimmons seek
to replenish the earth. Cherry
pits are a favorite delicacy of
squirrels, os are also the seeds
of all the conifers nnd of many
wood shrubs the bittersweet, dog-
wood and others.
Maples, elms, birches, ashes,
sycamores. cottonwoodH, poplars
and the basswood expand their
spheres of Influence on the wings
of the winds; and their “heavier
than air” devices are often com
plex and always well adapted
to that end.
Birds are the motivators of
our wild cherry trees and cedars,
beside Innumerable frult-yleldlng
shrubs and vines. The life of the
mountain nsh, for Instance, de
pends wholly upon Its feathered
boarders.
Forest trees are striving, push
ing greedy folk, and the form
er’s woodlot will no more “stay
put" than the weeds In his
neighbor's fields.
GO BACK TO GLACIAL AGE
Haw Animal and Human Ban.a in
Cavaa of tha Ohio Vallay Tall
ef Root Parioda.
Among tlio enormous number of an-
Imal and human bones that lie In the
caves of the Ohio valley there mny
be discovered evidences that man ex
isted In America In the Glacial age.
So thinks Arthur M. Miller, professor
of geology In the University of Ken
tucky, who Ims beon Investigating and
excavating new llnds of bones thst
have been made near Loxlngton.
In two caves near Lexington Profes
sor Miller found human bones Identi-
IIed ns belonging to an Indliin man,
nnd bones of raccoon, ground hog, gray
fox, door, buffalo and bear. The bear
skeleton, partly fossilized, Is supposed
to be the remains of n polar benr that
lived in a great Ice age before tlio
present geologic era.
Thomas Jefferson nnd William Hen
ry Harrison, Presidents both, were
nnioiig the prominent men who exca
vated mnmmnllan remains nt Itlg Hone
Lick In the early .venrs of the Inst
century. Interest In the entombed
bones wns more Intense then limn It
lias been lately because eaves were
discovered often during the mining uf
nitrous onrtli when the snltpeter In
dustry flourished In that part of the
country.
The following account of the wed
ding of a former popular Cedartown
girl, published in a St. Augustine
(Fla.) paper, will be read with much
interest here:—
“On Dec. 19th at 8 o’clock at the
parsonage of the Ancient City Bap
tist church, Miss Rosalie Berry be
came the bride of J. E. Crutchfield of
this city. Only relatives and a few
friends of the bride and groom were
present to witness the impressive
ring ceremony, with the Rev. A. E.
Calkins, officiating. Mrs. Crutchfield
was charmingly dressed in a becom
ing frock of brown canton crepe,with
hat and dainty accessories to match.
Immediately after the ceremony the
newly married couple went to their
home on Saragossa street, where a
reception was planned for them as a
surprise. Mrs. Crutchfield is an at
tractive young woman Vvho has made
her home ill St. Augustine for sev
eral years past, and has won friends
here. Mr. Crutchfield is a well-known
local business man, being proprietor
of the Crutchfield Electric Shop. The
bride and groom have the congratula
tions of their many friends, and good
wishes arc being extended to them.’ * 1
Perfumed Pottery.
Sounds odd, doesn’t it? And mys
terious? Well, it is both —one of
those rare novelties requiring genius
and craftsmanship to produce.
Perfumed pottery is just what the
name implies. It is made from clay
saturated by secret process with de
lightful perfume that withstands fir
ing In the kiln, and when finished has
the properties of a sachet.
The delicate odor of a single piece
of Perfumed Pottery is suite discern-
able in a fair-sized room.

Why Called Passion Flower.
The passion flower got its nanio
from the Spanish settlers of the West
Indies and South America because
they fancied that It pictured Christ’s
passion and death. According to their
fancy, the leaf symbotlr.es tho spear
that pierced tho Savior’s side; the
antlers, the marks of the five \voumT8
made by tho spear; the tendrils, tho
cords of whips with which he was se
cured; the column of the ovary, tha
upright of the cross; the stamens, the
hammers; the three styles, the nulls;
the flameutous processes, the crown of
thorns; tho calyx, the glory of halo;
the white tinge, purity; the blue tint,
heaven; and the fact that It remuini
open three days typifies his three day*’
ministry.

Why It Doesn’t Burn.
Why can you put your finger on
the bottom of a steaming kettle with
out being burned, Is n question sent
to Popular Science Monthly, which an
swers ns follows:
“Beeuuse the heat of the fire has
been transferred from the kettle bot
tom to the wnter, which Is boiling and
forming steam. It Is for the same
reason that kettles with soldered bot
toms and containing water can be
safely placed over a fire.
“The greed of the water for the heat
carries It away so rapidly that the
tempernture of the metnl Is unable to
rise high enough to melt the solder.”
HAPPY NEW YEAR, FOLKS!
That’s all we’re thinking about now.
A Prosperous 1923 to you all!
