"Thanksgiving" Is Lesson-Sermon Topic Thanksgiving Day services were held in Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The subject of the Lesson-Sermon was "Thanksgiving." The Golden Text was from the Psalms. "I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving." A Scriptural selection in the Lesson-Sermon presented Paul's words: "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: . . . Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God." A correlative passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, stated, "The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother's need and supplieth it, seeking his own on another's good." Editor—Strange that this anecdote of Lincoln has never been in print before. Contributor—Not at all. You see, I only thought it up last night. Despite the debunking coming from Mexico shot on along the New Millions of birds went this Thanksgiving but on that occasion, The FLORSHEIM Shoe • You don’t know Florsheim Shoes until you wear a pair... no other shoe has such a record for long wear.

WE STILL CALL it "the light bill," just as we did back in the nineties, when that was all it was. But today lighting is but one of a multitude of services that our "light bill" covers. Cooking, refrigeration, heating, power for the radio, energy for washing, ironing and cleaning, current for percolator, toaster, and waffle iron—all these make up the modern "light bill." Yet our bill today is little if any greater than the amount we paid for lighting alone a decade or two ago. And, with all these valuable services included, our "light bill" is still the smallest item in the family budget. Edison Lighting Rates Have Been Reduced 42% Since 1921 Just a Few of the Services Your "ELECTRIC BILL" Covers RADIO LIGHTING COOKING CLEANING WASHING WRINGING IRONING HEATING REFRIGERATION ELECTRIC FAN DOOR BELL HAIR CURLER PERCOLATOR TOASTER WAFFLE IRON WARMING PAD and many other useful services that save time and energy.

Millions of birds were killed and millings of pumpkins sliced up and cooked for pumpkin pies for this Thanksgiving. Old Gobler again reigns supreme on the dinner table at Christmas time — but on that occasion, cranberries replace the pumpkin among the "trimmings." TODAY and TOMORROW by FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE ART...and hard work I went to a so-called "art" exhibition the other day and was amazed at the audacity of some of the self-termed artists whose pictures were shown. Not one in ten of them had ever learned or attempted to draw a human figure, a house or a landscape such things actually are. Instead, most of the work looked like the crude attempt of first grade school children. This, I was told, is modern art, I call it lazy art. It takes time and application, hard work and drudgery to learn how to draw. Every youngster who thinks himself a genius spurs hard work and imagines that merely slapping paint on canvas without regard to form is art. I cannot imagine that this modernistic craze will last very long. In the long run, nothing lasts except that it has been of hard, intelligent work. ROADS...townless highways I drove through a New England village a few weeks ago and was horrified to see men with axes at work cutting down the magnificent elm trees which had made the town's principal street one of the most beautiful places in America. "Why, we have to widen the road on account of automobile traffic," explained the postmaster, when I stopped. They were destroying the chief attraction which, for a hundred years, has drawn thousands to their village every Summer, in order to make a highway to enable automobiles to dash through town at high speed without stopping. I crossed over into New York State and came South on one of the finest roads I have ever seen, sixty feet wide and with no speed limit. But instead of going through the middle of towns and villages this great road had been cut across open country. This idea of the "townless highway" for high speed through traffic is growing, but I am afraid it is not growing fast enough to save a good many communities their beauty. Daily Agricultural Program Announced The schedule of daily radio talks given on agricultural and allied subjects, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and station KFI, is announced by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg for the week beginning November 28. The talks are present at 12 o'clock noon each day. November 28: "Deciduous Fruit Tree Pruning." M. H. Kimball, assistant farm advisor, Los Angeles county November 29: "The Value of Growers Organizations in Agricultural Commissioners' Work." A. E. Bottel, agricultural commissioner, Riverside county November 30: "How to Select Breeding Stock in Your Rabbitry." L. D. Sanborn, assistant farm advisor, Los Angeles county.

Real Thanksgiving For Calavo Growers Avocado growers of this district are rejoicing this Thanksgiving for they are now receiving a special "dividend" amounting to approximately half a cent per pound for every one of the 3,543,358 pounds of fruit handled by the Calavo Growers' exchange for the year ending last October 1, announces George B. Hodgkin, general manager of the growers' exchange. Incidentally, the "dividend" is also in time for taxes. This extra dividend itself actually exceeds the total return realized this year for numerous kinds of fruits, vegetables and farm products, but is entirely additional to the regular pool and other payments received by the Calavo grower for his fruit. This refund, made on all avocados despite grade and quality, and also variety, is considered surprisingly substantial in that it ordinarily comes from handling a larger actual crop than that over which the exchange's packing and advertising costs have been spread, leaving an ample margin of crop surplus for safety. However, this year saw a 7 percent reduction in crop due to February rains alone, to other large weather losses and to a 100,000-pound loss.

This idea of the "townless highway" for high speed through traffic is growing, but I am afraid it is not growing fast enough to save a good many communities their beauty. UNEMPLOYED - a viewpoint I talked the other day with one of the active heads of the unemployment relief work in New York. "This is the last winter I will have any part in this work," he said. "Too many men who are able to work are getting the habit of getting money without working. In the first year of the depression almost every man who applied for relief wanted to know if we couldn't give him some work to do. Last year not more than half of the applicants made any such suggestion. This winter most of them are demanding money as if they had a right to it, and some of them, for whom we have been able to provide opportunities to work, have indignantly rejected the idea. "The greatest danger that we face today is of developing an army of burns and panhandlers." MONEY - different values It won't be long now before the delegates of the principal nations meet in Europe to try to figure out some way of putting all of the world's money on a stable and equal basis. This is of consequence to every one in America, because our country and France are the only ones whose money is worth what it pretends to be worth on the face of it. In the countries where currency has been depreciated commodities can be produced so much more cheaply than is possible in America, where we have to pay wages in sound money, that even the highest tariff wall cannot keep these cheap products out of competition with our own products in our own market. The greatest drawback to the re-establishment of prosperity today is, we believe, this disparity between the money values of the different nations of the world. The proceedings of the International Economic Conference which is to meet in December may be, and probably will be, far more important to every one in America than the Presidential election was. SUPERSTITION - and blame Nothing is more natural than to blame everything bad upon the President. The great mass of humanity is still very simple and childminded. The notion that one man can and does control the destinies of an entire nation, that he holds in his hands the powers of good and evil, is a survival in the race mind of the beliefs of the most primitive human tribes. When disaster occurred and its cause was not clearly apparent, "somebody" must have caused it. If there wasn't a tribal chief or a medicine man handy on which to blame it, then primitive man blamed it upon some mythical "old man of the mountain," and these mythical rulers over human destiny in time became invisible deities, to be worshiped with fear and propitiated with gifts. We regard ourselves as more intelligent than the Indians, but we still look upon the President as the "Great White Father at Washington." Every man who has ever been President has learned that his actual responsibilities were far easier to bear than the things for which he was held responsible, but which were entirely outside of his authority. With "Home to Troy!" as their rallying cry, 15,000 alumni of the University of Southern California are making plans to attend the annual homecoming celebration to be held on the U.S.C. campus December 5 to 10, Frank Hadlock, executive secretary of the Trojan alumni association, announced recently. "Old grads" of the class of '84 to the youngest member of the class of '32 will find numerous events to entertain them during the week's program which has been arranged by Franklin S. Wade,'08, president of the Southern Counties Gas company, general chairman, assisted by Jack Smith, student committee head. The cream of national gridiron encounters, the annual struggle between the cardinal and gold team of Troy and the "Fighting Irish" of Notre Dame will climax a week of thrills as college friendships are renewed and days of yore are reviewed. Fraternities and sororites are enthusiastically cooperating in welcoming back old Trojans to their alma mater. With gaily decorated houses remaining open to graduates during the week, the Greeks will supply a spectacular contribution when they stage the annual comic homecoming parade in the coliseum prior to the kick-off of the U.S.C.—Notre Dame game. Football banquets with members of both coaching staffs and parents of the Trojan team members as guests of honor, the annual coed hi jinks to be presided over by "Helen of Troy" and "Joan of Arc," departmental reunions and educational exhibits, a stag rally, and a homecoming dance are among the highlights to the 1932 program. Says We Should Be Glad for Blessings "If we will read back into history only a short distance and compare our condition with that of other people of other ages we will come back with singing hearts, glad for our many blessings," Rev. Ray C. Harker, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church told Kivanians at their weekly lunch-econ-meeting at the Elks clubhouse Tuesday. M. O. D. Sets New Mark During '32 lizer prices were from 30 to 60 per cent below those of 1930-1931. Direct Sales Sought In commenting on the matter of distribution of large crops, the general manager in his report said: "The fruit handled by the Mutual Distributors goes from producer to consumer as directly as is humanly possible with the result that much of the margin between the grower and the table is avoided. The Mutual Orange Distributors repeatedly has gone on record and here again reiterates its policy that in order to enhance the value of California citrus products and to keep the reputation of those products up to a high standard it believes in and gladly will cooperate in eliminating from all channels of trade fruit of loose and low-grade, the sale of which has and still is doing much damage to the good name built up over a period of many years for California oranges, lemons and grapefruit." The sales department of the Mutual Orange Distributors advises that "generally speaking the delivered prices for both Valencias and Navels for the season 1931-1932 ranged about 50 cents per box lower than 1930-1931. Total shipments from California of packed fruit was almost identical with the previous season, being only 1900 carloads less. Lower prices reflect lowered buying power due largely to widespread unemployment. Even Flow of Fruit "The season was marked by an unusually even flow of fruit to market during each month of the 12 months marketing period. The record of the actual car-load movement, combining California and Florida, beginning with November, 1931, and ending with October, 1932, is as follows: Month Shipments Nov., 1931 11,241 Dec., 1931 11,838 Jan., 1932 11,338 Feb., 1932 11,834 Mar., 1932 11,792 Apr., 1932 11,536 May, 1932 9,372" Rabbit Growers Meet On Monday Dr. Trusdale and John Meyer Will Talk On Problems Before Industry Rabbit growers in Southern California will have an all day meeting on Monday, November 28, in the farm bureau office, Santa Ana, to discuss the problems vital to the rabbit industry. This gathering is the regular quarterly meeting of the Southern California Rabbit conference and the delegates invite all people connected with this rapidly developing industry to join them at Santa Ana. According to W. M. Cory of the agricultural extension service of the University of California, there will be two addresses that should interest all rabbit growers. Dr. Rodger W. Trusdale, who has recently made an analysis of rabbit's milk, will discuss the relation of his findings to rabbit feeding. John W. Meyer, director of the United States rabbit experiment station, Fontana, will use as his subject "Some Suggestions for Feeding Rabbits." Among the problems that will be discussed are improved market news service for rabbit products and production certification of breeding does and bucks. The conference convenes at 10:00 a.m. and continues until 3:00 p.m., the lunch period being used for various committees to work up reports which will be presented during the afternoon. October Gas Tax Is Less Than Year Ago Seasonal influences which affect the gasoline tax made itself felt in October and the state treasury received but $3,300,438.46 from the tax last month, according to a statement recently by Fred E. Stewart of Oakland, member of the state board of equalization. Distributions for the month totaled 111,125,872 gallons. The tax for October showed a 2.2% loss under the same month in 1931, when the tax was $3,374,838.01.

The tax for October showed a 2.2% loss under the same month in 1931, when the tax was $3,374,838.01. "Although the gasoline tax was less for last month than the corresponding month of 1931," said Stewird, "the percentage of loss is becoming smaller with each succeeding month's report. It would appear that the gasoline industry is following the trend in other lines of business where the percentage of loss is being cut down each month or at least not becoming larger." Total ... 108,545 "Notwithstanding much publicity to the contrary there never has been a time in the history of the business when a better control of shipments was in evidence. The shipments of the Mutual Orange Distributors were in line with a regular and orderly shipping policy and this fact in large measure contributed to the success of the season, as did the large volume of overseas sales made by the organization during the earlier part of the Valencia season. "Chief competing fruits during the summer months were berries, cantaloupes, peaches, pears and apples. Although the peach crop was extremely light peaches sold at the lowest prices of which we have any record. It is reasonable to expect that prices during 1932-1933 will show some improvement." Officers and directors elected were: J. H. Strait, president; M. W. H. Williams, vice president; A. B. Cowgill, secretary; T. J. Steves and William Wagner, Jr., members of the executive committee.
