PRIDE OF COUNTRY.
Another Thanksgiving day has
passed. The usual perfunctory
proclamations were issued by pub
lie officials and read by the
people. Thanksgiving should not
be limited to one day in this land
■of opportunity and progress.
Are we as proud of Our Coun-
try and as grateful for the ad-
vantages it gives us as we should
be I It is often stated that Cali-
fornians are greater boosters for
their state and its resources than
are the citizens of any other state
in this Union.
Why localize our enthusiasm for
XT y---——--
Our Country? No state could
exist without our United States.
Why should not every citizen of
this country be an active booster
for a nation which has gone far-
ther than any other in the world
in giving liberty, property rights,
business opportunities, home con-
veniences, educational advantages
and mausements to its people?
Why should not our schools and
colleges emphasize to a greater
extent the advantages of a citizen
of this nation under our constitu-
tional form of government?
Until something is proposed

Real Estate, Loans
Collecting, Adjusting
Offices have been opened over the First State Bank building
for the purpose of handling real estate, loans and collections.
We will be in position to handle any and all real estate deals;
either selling or finding you a buyer, as the case might be.
We will be in touch with all the big real estate men in the
state and prompt service will be given. If you have a farm
or city property for sale, here or somewhere else, list it with
us. Or if you want to buy or trade for a farm or city prop-
erty, see us.
Confidential loans made on anything of value. In other
words, if you have anything that is worth money, you can
borrow money on it from us.
Another thing that will be given our personal attention is
collecting. This is something McGregor has needed for many
years and we are going to establish a collecting agency here
that will get results.
All business entrusted to us will be handled strictly
confidential.

give us protection and advantages
equal to those which we now re-
ceive, we should express greater
thanks for what we have and be
less ready to listen to the thought
less agitator or professional pol-
itician who, failing to appreciate
the advantages which surround
him, seeks to foist impractical
theories or visionary experiments
upon a people already blessed
with a government better than
any other so far devised.
When you feel like kicking,
look around you. Practically ev-
ery American citizen can own his
home if he so desires. He can
travel to his work either in an
electric car or over a system of
highways such as the Romans
never dreamed of.
In his home gas and electricity
do work, equal to that done by a
score of servants to the former
kings and queens. The American
telepko/nCj system furnishes com-
munication service in the humb-
lest home beyond the very wildest
dreams of world famous rulers of
the past.
Our property is safeguarded—
our workmen are cared for, and
our lives are protected by an in-
surance system unheard of a
hundred years ago and which is
rapidly eliminating the pauper
and the poor house.
Aladdin and his lamp have
been made a reality by the radio
which, in conjunction with wire
communication, has annihilated
distance and, as the people of the
world become better acquainted
through our modern methods of
communication, will eliminate
war. The homesteader in the
mountains can tune in his radio
set and listen to the music, lec-
tures and amusement programs

MCGREGOR PRODUCE COMPANY

Mas
of the world.
Our farmers are learning the
advantages of applying business
methods to agricultural pursuits.
Our industries are profiting by
making their employes and cus-
tomers stockholders in their prop-
erties. Gasoline has made indi-
vidual transportation possible so
that vast sections of the country
heretofore imposible of settlement
on account of distance have been
opened up and are today pouring
their produce and business in over
improved highways to the great-
est railroad transportation sys-
tem in the world.
What a picture to paint! For-
ests, mines, transportation, oil,
electricity, telephone, gas, radio,
modern farm machinery, factory
buildingsfiner than the castles of
history, roads and road building
methods such as the world has
never before seen, and an educa-
tional system which offers the
poor man’s son advantages which
the nobility did not have a few
generations ago!
Think of these things when
you hear the croakers and the
knockers. Don’t be thankful just
on Thanksgiving day. Learn a
lesson from California, where the
children are taught that the sun
iis brighter, the sky is bluer and
the advantages greater in their
state than anywhere else in the
“world. Let us build up pride in
Our Country, not in a boastful or
arrogant manner, but with a sense
of appreciation and thanksgiving
that we are so fortunate as to
live in a land where opportunities
and advantages for the poor and
the lowly are greater than the
luxuries offered favored and
wealthy persons a short century
ago.—Exchange.

JOHN & RED MAKE
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.
New Years usually starts off
with rsolutions, and we are no
exception to the rule, only the one
we made is going to be carried
out to the letter thruout the year;
and here it is:
We are glad and willing to sell
you every kind of feed and other
items carried by us, but your ac-
count must be paid every first of
each month. In other words, we
consider thirty days as cash busi-
ness. Therefore, we have resolved
that unless your account is paid
at the first of each month, no far-
ther credit will be given until
said account is settled.
Our feed stuff comes to us cash
on delivery and if we are unable
to collect for the feed we put out
monthly, we have to borrow the
money from the bank to meet
