Bellefonte, Pa., November 21, 1924. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. We approach that season of the year when it has been the custom of the American people to give thanks for the good fortune which the bounty of Providence, through the generosity of nature, has visited upon them. It is altogether a good custom. It has the sanction of antiquity and the ad- miration of our religious convictions. In acknowledging the receipt of Di- vine favor, in contemplating the bless- ings which have been bestowed upon us we shall reveal the spiritual strength of the nation. The nation has been marked by a continuation of peace whereby our country has entered into a relation- ship of better understanding with all the other nations of the earth. Ways have been revealed to us by which we could perform our great service through the giving of friendly council, through the extension of financial as- sistance and through the exercise of a spirit of neighborly kindliness to less favored peoples. We should give thanks for the power which has given into our keeping, with which we have been able to render these services to the rest of mankind. At home we have continually had an improving state of the public health. The production of our indus- tries has been large and our harvests have been bountiful. We have been remarkably free from disorder and remarkably successful in all those pursuits which flourish during a state of domestic peace. An abundant pros- perity has overspread the land. We shall do well to accept all these favors and bounties with a becoming humili- ty, and dedicate them to the service of the righteous cause of the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. As the nation has prospered, let all the people show that they are worthy to prosper by re- dedicating America to the service of God and man. Therefore I, Calvin Coolidge, Pres- ident of the United States of Ameri- ca, hercby proelaim and fix Thursday, the 27th day of November, as a day for national thanksgiving. I recom- mend that the people gather in their places of worship and at the family altars, and offer up their thanks for the goodness which has been shown to them in such a multitude of ways. Especially I urge them to supplicate the Throne of Grace that they may gather strength from their tribula- tiens, that they may gain humility from their victories, that they may bear without complaining the burdens that shall be placed upon them, and that they may be increasingly worthy in all’ ways of the blessings that shall cee to them. witness thereof, I hereunto set aad and cause to be affixed the veal of the United States. Be ze at the city of Washington, this day of November, in the year of (ord, 1924, and of the independ- nee of the United States, 149th. CALVIN COOLI I the President. CHARLES F. HUGHES, Secretary of State. rear DGE. . Skunks Are Plentiful.

CHEAPEST NOT ALWAYS BEST Person Who Buys From Catalogue House Sees Only the Price and Forgets That Value Is Thing That Counts. (Copyright.) When you spend your money you naturally want to get all you can in return. No one can criticize you for baving that desire. Only those who are commonly referred to as having “more money than sense” throw their money away. All others are careful to see that they do not get the worst of any bargain. But one has to be able to look farther than the end of his nose if he is to be sure that he is get- ting the most that he can get for his money. 2 ‘That is the defense of the man who buys from the mail order house instead of patronizing the merchants in his own town. He says he can get more for his money when he buys from the mail order man than when he spends his money at home. But in arriving at that conclusion he certainly has not been able to look further than the end of his nose. ‘In most cases the man who buys goods from a mail order house does so because he thinks he is getting the goods for less money than he would have to pay for them at the store in his own town. He thinks he is look- ing out for No. 1 and he says it is not his fault if the merchant in his town cannot make any money and is forced to go out of business. He over- looks the fact that he is likely to be as hard hit as anyone else when that ‘merchant closes his doors but, leav- ing that probability out of considera- tion, the chances are about 10 to 1 that the buyer has really lost money on his deal with the mail order man. Price Not Only Consideration. If buying an article of any Kind, whether it be a house. and lot or a pa- per of pins, the price is not the only thing to be considered by any means. You are not in the habit of going into a store when you want to buy a suit of clothes and saying to the storekeeper: “Give me the cheapest suit of clothes You have in the house.” You want the best. suit of clothes you can get for the price you pay for it, but you don’t ‘usually want the cheapest thing yowv can find. A man may delude himself into be- =| lieving that when he buys a suit of clothes from a mail order house for $10 he is saving money, but what is there te justify him in such a belief? The mere fact that he is getting a suit for $10 does not mean that he is sav- ing money. The chances are that if he should go to the man who runs the clothing store in his own town and ask for it he could get a suit of clothes for $10 and the chances are also that it would be just as good if not a bet- ter bargain than the suit which he could get from the mail order house for the same sum. he pays that shows whether he is get- ting a bargain or not. It is the qual- ity of goods that he gets for his money that counts. Can Underseli Mail Order House. The home merchant can sell as ‘cheaply as ‘the mail order man if he sells as cheap goods as the mail order man sells. His expenses are not as heavy as those of the mail order man. He pays less rent in proportion ta the business he does, his taxes are less in proportion to the capital invested. His advertising bills are less than those of the mail order man in propor- tion to the volume of his sales. He can undersell the mail order man any day in the year if he wishes to sell only goods of the same quality and style of those sold by the mail order man, but he doesn’t do this because he knows that the majority of the people in his town do not want that quality and style of goods. Therefore he keeps in stock goods of all qualities and all prices. He has the $10 suit for the man who thinks that he can get more for his money by buying a suit at that price thun he can by buying a better one for $20, but he tells the customer just what he is buying. : The next time you think about buy ing something from a mail order house, if you ever do think of such a thing, go first to your home merchant and ask to see the article which you are thinking of buying. Ready to Compare Prices. Your home merchant is a business man. He gets the best values he can for his money when he buys goods, and he does not expect his customers to do anything else. All that he asks, in return for the favors he does his cus- tomers and the things he does for the good of his community is that he be given an opportunity to meet the in- sidious competition of the mail order house. He is perfectly willing to have his prices ana his values compared to those of the mail order house, but he has a just complaint when he is not given a chance to make this compari- son. If all buyers would take the value as well as the price of the article they are buying into consideration, the mail order houses would all go eut of busi- ness tomorrow.
