It has been said that ingratitude is one of the basest of nins, as of course it Is. and also that it Is one of the commonest. Vet It is natural for men and women to be thankful, and are who have not some things for which to be thankful perhaps many of them. This day Is usually devoted to a consideration of material blessings that is, when It Is not given over to a discussion of Issues and problems, sometimes helpful, but often not. Material blessings are by no means to be despised. Indeed they are not to be despised at all. ff men were properly grateful for them grateful as the ancient Hebrews were bidden to? he by Moses there would be no pride of wealth and no selfish use of It, or glorying In It.' Agulust all this, the truly thankful spirit, with Its sense of dependence on a higher power. Is the surest antidote. There is a certain humility in true gratitude a sort of feeling that one lias had more, perhaps much more, than one's deserts. is usually the case. So That it Is that out of material blessings may be born great spiritual strength. Americans Have Every Reason to Give Thanks to the Creator. It Is Id order at Thanksgiving time few-ther- e o pause to take account of the reasons why the nation should give thanks for blessings, in response to lie President's proclamation.No perfunctory feeling of gratitude is adequate. The people of America should I thoughtfully consklor the circum stances of their life, rhe bounties they are enjoying, the opportunities they find In daily lives to advance and to Justify themselves as members of society. Yet enumeration of the blessings that have been bestowed upon us as a people is a trite recital at best. They are well known, often related They are evident In the daily goings and joinings of all the people.; They nre part of the very atmosphere of everyday existence. Prosperity, employment, security from aggression, a free choice of occupation, the chance for every man to rise to higher planes of lo-;e- social and business activity, a sound government based upon the highest the principles of administration of affairs Intrusted to citizens, of Integrity and capacity such are the fundamentals of American life. To appreciate the blessings of American citizenship, especially In these times. It Is but necessary to glance abroad, to other lands, where conditions are tar less favorable to happiness and social development. Though scarred by the war, through the loss of a multitude of men, America has received no deep wounds. Prosperity prevails In all sections, among all classes of the people. Elsewhere this tale cannot be told. No grave anxieties beset this land. The prospect Is fair, uudimmed by clouds . of doubt or fear. A strong, healthy people, thrifty and happy, aspirant for learning, eager for service, gifted with the richest bounties of nature! Americans have Indeed occasion to give thanks on this day, fervently and reverently, for their blessings.

The Indians drove the outposts and then the main body of the federal army back on the camp line, but several hundred reserves were rushed to the scene of the battle, making the contest more even. After more than two hours of continuous battling, tha Yaquis withdrew, taking their dead with them. The Twenty-fourtregiment suffered heavily, allicers among the dead being Major Leandro Fierro Quinones and eight other officers, and numerous soldiers dead and wounded. The other forces are said to have suffered more severely, but the dead and wounded are not reported. Among the Yaqui forces were several white men, who, it is believed' by the federal army, were Americans. One of these handled a machine gun with deadly effect. As the forces, about 500 men. which went in the Yaqui valley on the north over ten days ago, have not been heard from, it is feared here they are surrounded by' Indians. It was reported here this morning that a battle was being fought west of Mazaan by he same forces that met the Indians in the battle above reported. This is the third notable battle between the Yaquis and federals since .he uprising on September 12. In all three quite a number of federal soldiers and officers were killed. h h Gooding Bill in Front Again Washington The Gooding long and short haul bill, defeated in the senate on March 24 last by a vote of 33 to 4G, is to be brought before the senate again at the coming session, this time as an amendment to be offered by Senator Gooding to the river and harbor bill. The senate, by agreement entered into last s?ssion, is to take up the river and harbor bill December '14 and debate is to be limited, thus shutting off opportunity for a protracted filibuster. That agreement, coupled with the adverse lineup of the senate when the bill was voted upon separately, will make it difficult for Senator Gooding to secure the adoption of his amendment, though he Monday voiced confidence that the amendment will go into the bill.

Sugar averages have been running exceptionally good, it is reported, and on several occasions it has been necessary to slacken the factory's pace in order that complete extraction of the sugar could be made. Sugar content in some exceptionally good batches of beets has been as high as 17 per cent. Salt Lake Whipped by a gale, a terrific rainstorm swept over Salt Lake and vicinity early Tuesday morning, leaving, according to weather bureau reports, a precipitation of .02 of an inch. The northwest wind, which reached its maximum "intensity shortly after 3 o'clock, ripped the roof of the huge east grandstand at tha fairgrounds from the steel structure and hurled it several feet south of the stand. The damage Is estimated at $2200, according to Ernest Holmes, general manager of the state fair association. Sandy Tomatoes, peas and potatoes may displace sugar beets as Sandy's principal agriculutral crop unless a higher price Is paid next season for sugar beets, according to information from Mr. W. Wilson, president of the Sandy City bank and mayor of Sandy. Mr. Wilson reports that Sandy farmers were hard hit through failure this season of the sugar beet crop.

Myton The month of October, 1926, according to the record kept at the government irrigation office in Myton, was proved the driest October since the year 1916, when the keeping of records began here. The dry spell in the basin has been broken during the past fe.w days, and the outlook for additional moisture in the near future is good. Snow in the mountains and rain in the valley pleases nearly everybody. SuSpanish Fork The Utah-Idahgar company plant in this vicinity ceased slicing, after the shortest run in the history of the plant, having run only thirty days. A few of the employees are still working, cleaning up the syrup and finishing off tho sugar from the run. The failure of the beet crop here worked a real hardship on the people, as many of the farmers depend on the ready money from their beets for taxes and other cash demands. Ogden The lamb movement from California east next spring will be the heaviest that will ever have come through the Ogden Union stockyards. L. F. Whitlock, general manager, said upon his return from California, where he attended the woolgrowers' convention and met many growers.

The committee has been called to meet next Monday to consider this measure. Although he has repeatedly said 'ie would not give any thought at the approaching short session to the question of tax reduction, he had little comment to make on the tax credit, idea after a conference with Secretary Mellon. During this visit he obtained some new information on the condition of the treasury which led the president to favor a return of he prospective surplus of his fiscal year to the taxpayers. While he appeared none loo optimistic over the prospect of tax battle at the approaching session, Mr. Green said he would give study to the administration's plan and probably would make an announcement of his views shortly. Neither is the committee chairman very hopeful that the president's suggestion for nonpartisan consideration of the tax proposal will get very far, and it is understood he painted a to Mr. Mellon rather gloomy picture ' .of the obstacles tax legislation might face at this session. He held brighter views, however, about the alien property bill and he invited Mr. Mellon and Undersecretary Winston to appear before the committee next week and outline the stand of the administration on this proposal, which would work out a plan for the immediate return of ail alien property still held by the government. It is believed that Mr. Green will indorse the administration tax plan which would permit income taxpay ers to obtain a credit of about 25 per cent on their first two payments of next year if he approves of any tax legislation at this time.

Alliance reported more than an inch of snow, driven by a good wind, and Sidney reported , a heavy-- fall, with prospects of con tinuance.
