suggestion has been made that the time
Of the annual Thanksgiving should be changed
from the latter part of November to the l2th
of Octobor. The reason is twofold. Novem-
ber Is too late in the season ard too cold 1t
would be more appropriate to hold the festi-
val in the milder season Just at the close of
the later harvest. Furthermore October 12
is thedate Of the discovery of America by
Columbus, and the event has no day of cee-
hradon, as the day would warrant. The sug-
gestion i, worth thinking about. at any rate
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by
the Pilgrims in November, and that fact has
determined the date ever since. The inertia
of conservatism makes it hard to change
national customs as well as personal habits.

General Rosecrans, chairman of the sub

opinion that as the inmates of these homes
grow older. it will he wiser to locate the
homes in mlder climates, as the old men can
not endure the rigor of severe clmes An
illustration of this is the fact that the appli-
cation for entrance to the home at Hampden
greatly exceeds the capacity of the institu-
ton and that that home is caring for
three hundred more old soldiers than
1t can well accommodate. At the Togus
Home, the General thought that the $50, 900
paid for the site, was a great deal too much.
They had traced down from the records that
three tourths of the land had been sold for
$4,000, and they could find nothing in
the circumstance to warrant for paying
$4,000 for the whole.
