 Since the holidays Prof. Clary has
 adopted the rapidly growing plan of teaching on Saturdays and resting on Mondays. 1t is claimed that stu dents come up with better lessons Tuesday morning when they rest on
 Monday than they do on Monday where the vacation is given on Sat- urday. Monday is notoriously the hardest day in the week for teachers,
 under the old regime.
 As an error to the amount of S40,- 900 appeared in the "loans and dis counts in the statement of the con- dition of the Bank of Fordyce, as published last week, we reproduce that interesting little article at the top of two columns on this page.

Thanksgiving DaY.

OF late years Thanksgiving Day
means no more to many of US than
family reunion around board
literally grooming under its load of
roast turkey, mince pie and other
appropriate, if slightly indigestible
dainties. But very different was
its significance in 1921, when Gov.
Bradford, of the Plymouth Colony,
ordered that day be set apart for
prayer and thanksgiving to God for
the first harvest of the Pilgrims.
AS years went by this harvest fes-
tival was observed by other New
England colonies, and during the
Revolutionary War was introduced
into several of the Middle States.
In 1868 it was made a National
holiday. Since this date the Presi-
dent has issued an annual procla-
nation appointing the last Thurs
day in November as Thanksgiving
Day.
Traditions tell us that the Pill
grims, having no cattle or domestic
fowls to kill, shot the wild turkeys
that were plentiful in the forest
and served them at the feast that
graced their first harvest home.
Hence the origin of the custom
that makes the turkey the piece de-
resistance of the Thanksgiving din
