A Thanksgiving Grand-
mother..
By Myrtle Jamison Trachsel.
Janie ran' out of her house just as
Lula Lee appeared on the porch of
the house next door.
"Oh, look, Lula Lee, there is a big
snowflake! I do believe tomorrow
will be a white Thanksgiving.
Wouldn't that be perfect?"
"I don't know," said Lula Lee
doubtfully "I don't think it can be
perfect without a Thanksgiving
grandmother, and I shan't haveone
this year."
"What is a Thanksgiving grand-
mother?" asked Bobby, who came run-
ning from across the street. •
"A Thanksgiving grandmother is
one that cooks the dinner for you her-
self." -
"I haven't any grandmothers at
all," sighed Janie.
"Oh!" exclaimed Lula Lee sudden-
ly. "The little old lady that -lives at
the end of the street looks exactly like
a Thanksgiving grandmother. We can
ask her to be ours. Oh, I hope she
will be."
It was a daring thought, but all
three made off down the street, roll-
ing their hoops in front of them.
No sooner had they knocked on :he
door of the cottage than a little old
lady with white hair was smiling
down upon them. Through the open
door came delicious cookery smells.
Bobby sniffed.
"That's her; I can smell it cooking,"
he whispered cautiously to Janie.
"We wondered whether you were a
Thanksgiving grandniorher," explain-
ed' _Lula Lee.,
'Why, I-" the little old lady hesi-
tated.
Harvey Makes an Offer
Ambassador Harvey of the United
States, renewed the offer of the
Hughes' plan for a settlement of the
reparations trouble, in his farewell
speech in London. The plan provides
for a commission of experts to investi-
gate Germany's ability to pay repara-
tions,
"May we help you?" asked Lula
Lee and Janie.
Grandmother said they might set
the table. "Set five places," she said.
"But there -are only four of us,"
counted Lula Lee. "One, two, three,
four."
Grandmother looked mysterious.
"There is some one else quite as im-
portant as a Thanksgiving grand-
mother," she said, smiling.
"Who?„
"I can't tell you yet, but be

What fun it was, and how beautiful

RUED STATES WILL AID ORITAIN
N SOLVING EUROPEAN PROBLEMS
A despatch from Washington
says: -In response to an official 'in-
quiry by the British Government,
Secretary of State Hughes has in-
formed Great Britain that the United
States is willing to participate in an
advisory economic conference for the
purpose of 'considering Germany's ca-
pacity to pay reparations and methods
of effecting such payments.
This co-operation is guaranteed
only on the understanding that
France and all other powers directly
interested in German reparations con-
cur in the plan and participate in
the conference. If France or any
other interested power should not ap-
prove of the project of a reparations
survey by an economic conference, and
refuse to. participate, the United
States would determine whether it
would participate, only after mature
deliberation.
Britain is revealed as putting forth
a desperate effort to halt the dismem
berment of Germany and restore the
status quo, with Germany and France
in agreement on the payment of rep -
arations, To this end Great Britain
seeks the aid of the United States.
That there had been a formal ex-
change of views between London and
Washington on the European situa-
tion was disclosed by Secretary
Hughes on Thursday night, a few
hours after former Prime Minister
Lloyd George had called on him and
lunched with President Coolidge and ,
told the press that only the United
States can bring about thesolution of
Europe's problems.
Mr. Lloyd George declined, however,
to comment on the Hughes note.
As a culmination of the subtle drive
of the canny Welsliman to induce the
United States to take a strong hand
in European affairs, the American
reply to the London sounding falls
short of what he had hoped for,
though he regards it as a step in the
right direction from the British point
of view.
Mr. Lloyd George, however, does
not despair of the .United States,
which he foresees eventually setting
the European house in order.
"Our Thanksgiving grandfather!"
exclaimed Lula Lee under her breath.
"Well. I vow!" said the tall man.
"If it isn't the children all back home
again just as they used to be. Here's
Alice, Mary and little Ben."
He went around the table and hug=
ged each one of them before he took
his place, and the children didn't even
notice that he had called them by dif-
ferent names.
Grandmother .had slipped into her
place at the foot of the table. Grand-
father looked at her pink cheeks and
happy eyes and said softly, "And we
thought we should have to have our
Thanksgiving dinner alone!"
Then he bowed his head and gave
thanks for "all the good things and
these children that bring back dear
scenes."
"And for Thanksgiving grandmoth-
ers and grandfathers," added Lula
Lee softly. -Youth's Companion.

DOCTORS BANTIN6 AND MACLEOA
AWARDED NOBEI. PRIZE FOR MEDICINE
A despatch from Stockholm says: -
The Council of Teachers of the Karo-
linska Institute on Thursday evening
decided to give the Nobel Prize to the
Canadian professors of the University
of Toronto, Doctors F. G. Banting,and
J. J. R. MacLeod, for the discovery
of insulin.
The Nobel Prize in 1922 was award-
ed. to .a professor of University Col-
lege, London, Archibald Hill, because
of his discoveries in the physiology of
the muscles, and the second half to a
professor of the University of Kiel,
Otto Meyerhof, for his researches con-
cerning oxygen, lactic acid and con-
sumption of muscles.
This is only the second time that a
Nobel Prize, for ~outstanding service
in the. field of `medicine, has been
awarded in America. It is : the first
time that any Nobel Prize has ever
fallen to the lot of a Canadian.
The previous award of the prize in
medicine on this continent was made(
to Dr. Alexis ` Carrel in 1912, for 'his
work in connection 'with surgery ot
the blood vessels and transplantation
of tissues and organs.
The other Nobel awards made to.
Americans are: One in' physics to A.
A. Michelson, one in' ch.eznistry to T.
W. Richard's,' and -prizes for efforts in
furthering Peace to the late Theodore
Roosevelt, Honorable Elihu Root, and
ex -President Woodrow Wilson.
The total value of the award to be
divided between Dr. Boutin; and Dr.
MacLeod amounts to about $40,000. It
is understood that the prize was
awarded jointly, in view of the fact
that Professor MacLeod, as head of
the Department of Physiology at the
University of Toronto, directed the
work in the laboratories where Dr.
Beating conducted the investigationa
which led up to the discovery of
insulin.

Natural Resources
Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intel-
ligence Service of the Depart-
ment of the Interior at Ottawa,
says: -
It is not generally known
that Ontario possesses what is
credited to be the largest island
in fresh water in the world.
Manitoulin Island, in Lake
Huron, is 80 miles long and
about 28 miles wide at its wid-
est part. It is deeply indented
by many bays, has a very rug-
ged surface, and but few roads.
There are no railroads on the
island, and the few settlements
are all situated on the shores.
During the summer the island
has many visitors, a number of
summer resorts having grown
up.
When compared with the
Province of Prince Edward Is-
land, it will be seen tfiat there
is not a very great difference in
area, the latter island being 114
miles at its greatest length and
84 miles at its greatest breadth.
In its narrowest part, which is
near the centre, it is but four
miles across.
Tortoises are very tenacious of life;
one of these animals existed, appar-
ently quite unconcerned, for eight
months after its brain was removed.
The average yield of wheat in Can-
ada this year is 20.34 bushels an acre,
according to a second provisional esti-
mate compiled by the Bureau of Sta-
tistics. The wheat yield is approxi-
mately three. bushels an acre higher
than last year. The total estimated
crop for the year, in comparison with
the 1922 crop, follows: -Wheat, 469,-
761,000,
69;761,000, against 399,786,400; oats,
531,373,000, against 491,239,000; bar-
ley, 80,857,000,' against '71,865,800;
rye, 26,936,000, against 82,373,400;
mixed grains,: 29,090,000, against 27,-.

Thanksgiving Joy.
Stilled the crickets' shrilly cry,
See the wild geese southward fly,
Honking through the leaden sky,
"Now 'tis gray November!"
For the crops all garnered in,
For the overflowing bin,
For loved ties of kith and kin,
Grateful hearts remember -
Sitting round the bounteous board -
To give thanks unto the Lord
For the blessings on us poured,
And in equal measure
Let us not forget to share
With our brothers otherwhere
Of all good gifts sweet and fair -
Of our store and treasure;
Not forgetting e'en the least
Little bird and humble beast;
Let us spread for them a feast-•
Make them glad of living!
How our gratitude express
.Better than by thoughtfulness,
Others' lives to truly bless,
By the joy of giving!
