Outside of the many draterinl bless- {lags that have come to the American [people during the past year, which are {good In so much as they contribute to jwholcsome human happiness, there Is reason for the people of this country upon this Thanksgiving day to be un isonally thoughtful concerning their [place In the world, and to remember jhow this eminence has been obtained.

FRENCH CITIES ARE GROWING Secondary Munlclpalltlta and Towns Ars Gaining Rapidly by Im migration. Paria.—The statistics for the popula tions of the secondary cities and towns of France, completed before the exo dus from Paris began, show an extraor dinary Increase owing chiefly to the Immigration of foreign and colonial workmen employed In monition and other factories. Marseilles, with about 600,000 Inhab itants when the war began, has now a population of more than 1,000,000. With the many refugees from the towns about Paris, evacnated because of the German advance, and with some of the population of Paris whlfh flew from the big cannon, that figure may be said to be even higher. Lyons has Increased Its population from 530,000 to 740,000, without Including additional thousand! In the snbnrbi. Bordeaux's population has risen from 201,078 to 325,000, and the suburban parishes have grown from 88JS20 to 120,855. Havre has Increased from 138,150 to 150,000 without Including the garrison of 80,000 foreigners and 80,000 ref ugees, mostly Belgians. The Truth of It. “Well, Nettle, did you know that we had all come for Thanksgiving?" asked Uncle John, ns he chucked his little niece under the chin. “I expected you,” she said, sweetly. “Mother said that the whole family was coming, and It was a dreadful Lore, bat that Thanksgiving only comes once a year.” THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO DO THIS THAN TO BUY THE BEST GOODS AT THE BEST PRICE Our store is over-ruh with the best money could buy in farm implements of all kinds.
