EDI I 6 R 1 aT S (' Make It a Day of of Thanksgiving— Tomorrow we set aside as the one day in the year to take an inventory of self, to forget the misfortunes which may come our way and recall the blessings — 1 and there are many for which we should be thanful. Business may not have been what we expected, but there are others who enjoyed less; health may have suffered during the; year, but on every street corner, ; in the lanes and on the highways may be seen others in far worse / ondition. Crops may not have! z teen as bountiful as we desired, j tut as compared with the ma ority, ours was a bumper harvest. ' J rices probably were unsatisfac-I tory for our farm commodities, ■ but recall the years when lower- 1 Then be thankful. ., I Events have moved rapidly during the past ten years. A tremendous war has been fought. National boundaries have-changed. Man has crossed the ocean by air, has sent his voice around the world, has sent his tireless, inquisitive mind | into all the riddles of the universe in search of knowledge that will enable him to live more happily end more fully. There are seven signs that the great war itself has borne some sort of fruit after all that is not w holly bitter —that it has brought us to the realization and determi n ition that such a calamity must not happen again. I And science has gone oqward, t di awing steadily nearer to the c.imination of disease and toil, t ■ the unlocknig of the doors that 1 :p four-fifths of mankind im -1 isoned in the reals of soul-dead tsing labor and poverty. Let's be deeply thankful. | Humanity stands at the dawn i-g. An epoch in human affairs $o different from everything that b s gone before that it staggers t’ e imagination seems about to open before us. How will we a et it? i Will we be ready for it—for versa! peace, for freedom from 1, for universal prosperity, uni ’•sal leisure? I Or is the spirit of man to be uie only thing that does not prog- I ss? It is up to us to make ready, individually. To become more tolerant, more kindly, more alert; to learn that life is not solely a r.after of meals and houses and automobiles and theaters, that happiness cannot be expressed in d ollars, that the well-being of one portion of the race must not rest tn the misery of another. i That is our task. Let us apply ourselves to it. There have been Thanksgiving Days that were gloomy and dark, few still live who, back in the sixties, longed for home aTrd loved ones, wondered if that longing would be granted. But ; few years later, our beloved State was overrun with Carpet baggers, and the reigns of govern ment rested in black hands that were ignorant and a few who were vicious. As time marched on we came to the day when our boys “over there" were upper most in our minds and we raised our voices to Heaven that they be spared to return to home and mother and fireside, and we are thankful that so far that they HAD been spared. Today all of that is past, and we as a State, a County and a City face the brightest future we have ever known. Our South, our Georgia again is coming into own- A great Nation has sud denly discovered a Promised Land and they are wending their wav Southward. The march of emigration has, almost overnight, turned from East to West and to- jPI It happened on □o | lITHANKSGB'ING Day BY TOM SIMS Thanksgiving Day is coming, ready or not. Falls this year on the last Thursday in the week. Only Thanks giving Day we will have during 1925, believe it or not. Such phenomena deserve more t in a passing thought. Life’s a one -y street. Old Dad Time is the day we witness untold thousands as they trek Southward. Why shouidn' t we be thankful ? i Why shouidn t the morrow be ’ the brightest Thanksgiving Day of all time? j Lets make it a day of calm! 1 reflection, for if we do the days .to follow will be brighter and' happier than any of the past. * -Y- -Y- Why Criticize Spinsterhood ? W henevre some girl or woman distinguishes herself bv some new! i invasion of man’s field, whether! j it be in athletics, the fine artsS or I I the world of business, some staid. j gentleman is sure to arise and* ' say: "Ah. but she should be de-j ! voting herself to raising a family i | of fine young children." Youve' I all heard something like that. And it's such a foolish remark it’s almost pathetic. j < Would the world be any better > if women like Florence Nighin- S gale, Elizabeth Barrett Browning ’ and Jane Addams had given up 1 their careers to "raise a fine fam-j ( i ily of children?" Os course it* i wouldn’t. I We could never subscribe to the t i Rooseveltian . doctrine of large j families; we have never seen the } necessity of wildly rushing to r overcrowd the earth. Rather we x would have BETTER families, and better families need the j teachings and the precepts ofi' such women as those few mention ed above. There’ll always be children ‘ enough. And if a woman is able b to make her contribution to the race in some other form—morel power to her. ¥ * -y. ¥ | I The Philippines and Rubber— ‘ Rubber can be grown in the j Philippines.

Os this , total over $500,000,000 went in-, ito stocks of corporations. In oth- , er words, in the first six months of 1925 the American people in vested more than five times as much in bonds as in stocks. | 1 One of the best tests of nation- al prosperity is the investing pow- 1 er of the people- The investing < of more than $14,000 000 a day - in home and foreign securities 1 not only reflects prosperity, but < also an increasing adherence to the principles of thrift taught by •y the Liberty Loan qampaigns.

Bagley, of Atlan ta, Mrs William Gunn of Macon Mr John Gunn of Monticello, Mr and Mrs Hugh Bagley of Oglethorpe made a motoring trip to Americus yesterday, spending the day here. Mrs R. P. Frederick and Miss Mary Niles of Marshalville are guests of Mrs Hollis Fort on Lee Street. Misses Vieve and Emmie Morgan are spending the Thanksfiiving sea son pleasantly in Thomasville with their sister, Mrs Charles Smith. • Mr and Mrs Tim Furlow, Mrs J. E. Prather, Misses Genevieve and Hazel Prather made up a party attending the conference in Cordele yesterday. Mr Norman C. Miller of Atlanta came yesterday from Jacksonville to join Mrs Miller and Mother Mrs H. R. Johnson in a visit to Americus where they so long resided. Miss Jennie Harrison has guests here Miss Myrtle Strange of Ella ville, and Miss Doretha Strange of Albany her fair guests for the week. Miss Nannie Sue Bell is the fair guest of Miss Lula Mathis at her home near the city. when it is gone? Or, perhaps, both? Things you do in life are not so important as things you don’t do. So first you must plan what not to do Thanksgiving. Later you may decide upon what to do. And every body will be happy, and it will be a beautiful world with flowers in the florists’ shops. Don’t kick your wife in the ribs as you crawl out of bed on Thanks giving morning. Not that it would break a rib, but she might fracture her arm throwing a shoe at you. Then she couldn’t cook. Don’t disagraee with the cook on Thanksgiving morning. If you do her food is liable to disagree with you. Nero sidled around while Rome burned. What did he play? Why, don’t be silly. He played a fiddle. And if you make the cook mad on Thanksgiving morning she may fid dle around while dinner burns. One time there was a man and he went back into the kitchen where the cook was cooking because cooks almost always cook in a kitchen. This cook didn’t get paid for cooking in this kitchen. She was the man’s wife. He said, “You can’t make bis cuits like my mother used to make." i She said, “You can’t make money l like my father used to make.” Dodn’t that bumfuzzle him though? ' It happened ane Thanksgiving. Hope ‘it did anyway. Best way for a man to help his I wife cook is to go into the front part of the hfcuse and smoke a cirgar un il she calls him. While smoking his cigar he should be very careful not to go to the door and look for the Sunday paper. LUHEtSf Th’ SA.M Simply because he might be absent minded and decide to wait for it. When it arrives three days later he will be worn out. So remember, Thanksgiving may seem like Sunday to you, but don't hunt the Sunday paper. It » beat to be alone about a medium-size person on Thanksgiv ing. Don’t be too fat. All the fat people are reducing. They will yat too much turkgy and stretch out on their backs, but they will not be comfortable. Even if their stomachs AMERICUS 1 iMES-RECORDER I TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY. < !

And the undertaker may come out and bury you before you have a chance to explain. j One Thanksgiving Day a man ate [ a big dinner and got flat on his back and first thing you know he was I dreaming. He thought his wife took his last dime and blew it in for a loaf of bread when there wasn’t a chew of tobacco in the house. He broke out in a cold sweat and screamed. Neighbors rushed in They calmed him. He learned his wife had done no such thing. She had only run away with the butcher. So there is no use in trying to keep from dreaming on Thanksgiving. , Now, about the things you should do; they, of course, are just opposite to the things you shouldn’t do. As you walk about or loaf around during the day stop now and then as well as here and there and think of something for which you are thank ful. Right away you can be thankful it is Thanksgiving Day instead of Christman. If it were Christmas, T’VC TbF ThANKFIO- that would make two of them thia vear, and the bills for last year not aid yet. ;i vin'i . i'A by Hal 1311, and consider a bit hat you get out of living. ill, you will have to admit Ketums to you more than you’re giving.

Per- . haps there are 10. Who knows? May- i be there are the same number for women. Let’s see: A man should be thankful because: 1. He can walk along the street and it he hears somebody cussing about .something he can figure maybe something needs cussing about. He doesn’t have to get insulted at what somebody else thinks aboutsomething else. 2. He can have a shiny nose and < yet be happy. 3. He aoesn’t have to run to the front window to see of the man ring ing the bell across the street is a bill collector or a sheriff. He knows from personal experince that chances are it is both. 4. He can blame his wife because the dern kids kick up more racket I than a tribe of Indians, and why ! doesn’t she quit crying and do some ! thing about it? 5.

At times I ached all over, could not walk with out limping, and felt too weak to get out of my chair. Sleep was al most out of the question and I was , nervous, discouraged and despond ent. “When I began taking Tanlac I was down to 120 lbs. but I now weigh 160 and haven’t an ailment I in the world. This is what Tanlac • did for me four years ago and since i then I have never been without it ' in the house.
