It is a glorious thing to live in a country where there is justice and freedom, and even in spite of the temporary conditions which are burdensome to many people, we can give thanks with hearts full of grati- tude for the fact that things are not worse than they are. German flour mills are now re- quired to use 97 per cent. of domes- tic wheat, Italy 92 per cent. and France and Sweden 85 per cent. ALBERTA TO SEEK MARITIME MARKET Will Try To Capture Seed Potato Trade From Kansas Saint John, N.B. -- Comment- ing on a report from Edmonton, Alta., to the effect that Alberta would make a bid for the New Brunswick seed potato market, now that Alberta freight rates had been reduced, A. D, McCain, of Florenceville, N.B., vice-presi-: dent of the Associated Potato THANKSGIVING SPECIAL DRESSES Shippers of New Brunswick, said recently that previous imports from that province bad not been generally satisfactory. The reduction in freight rates on shipments from Alberta to New Brunswick points, anpoun- ced by Alfred Chard, railway ad- visor to the Alberta Government, wae from $1.51 to $1.07 per 100 pounds, Steps to obtain the reduction were taken when it was believed by Mr. Chard that Alberta seed potatoes would prove better for New Brunswick growing than po- tatoes from Kansas farms, Mr. McCain -said that New Brunswick had imported to a slight extent last year from Min- ucsota, but never from Kansas. He said the two cars imported from Alberta last year brought small, poorly graded frozen pota- toes, They were planted, how- over, but the yield from them did not compare favorably with that {1| from the Minnesota stock. [ "No doubt the yield would | have been as good if they had reached us in first class condi- tion," Mr, McCain said. New Brunswick grows its own seed potatoes in the Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain varieties. The variety imported from Alber- ta and Minnesota was the Bliss Triumph, a red potato. The province is at present ship- ping seed stock to Cuba in some- what small quantities, with Mon- treal and Quebec markets pracs tically non-existent just now," Mr. McCain said. Have Reason To Give Thanks The origin of Thanksgiving Day dates back to the days of the first settlers on the North Ameri- can continent from the old world. The Pilgrim Fathers took a spec- fal pride in the observance of the day. In spite of all the hardships from which they suffered, in spite of the inroads made on their band by disease and privation, and by the raids of hostile Indians, they nevertheless established the prac- tice of setting one day apart each year, after the ingathering of the harvest had been completed to give expression to their thanks for all they had enjoyed during the year. They were never too over- come by their hardships to over- look this duty, for they felt'it to be a duty which they owed to God, and thus Thanksgiving Day became established on this con- tinent. On Monday the people of Osh- awa are observing their Thanks- giving Day in much the same spir- it as these hard old _ pioneers. There have been hardships and privation throughout the year. Many have suffered hardship and want. Yet there are blessings for which everyone can be thankful. Those who have enjoyed good health and employment have the great cause for giving thanks. Those who have enjoyed an a- bundance of the fruits of the or- chard and the field can give thanks, even if prices ara not | what they might be. And those | who have been unemployed, and who have seen days of hardship, can feel thankful that there are those others willing and anxious | to help them through their days | of trial and difficulty, and even be thankful for life itself.
