However, there is little danger of our

But there will be plenty of canned tur-

~ there will be enough pumpkin

"A wife For on that day by a
conservative estimate, 10000
pies will be consumed in San Francisco
alone. Fully threefourths of those
pies will be made of pumpkin or
squash Although nince pies are just
as typical of the Thanksgiving they
are more expensive and families of
modest means confine themselves to the
pumpkin pies.
Seventy thousand pies for the city of
San Francisco only allows one-t1fth of
a pie to each person. Considering the
pie capacity of the average youth this
appears ludicrously small. And those
who on other days eschew pies, on
Thanksgiving satisfy their craving for
pie, although they are confident of
reaping an aftermath of doctors bills
There are always public dinners for
those who cannot afford luxuries in
their own homes. But many do not
avail themselves of this privilege, so
all things considered, a fifth of pie
for each person is a fair average.
The pumpkin crop is a large one and
especially good. The conservative esti-
mate for this State places the output
at 100000 pounds. This promises a
deluge of delicious pumpkin pies that
ought to equal those like mother used
to make in New England.
For the great pie belt runs through
the heart of New England, and. like
the Thanksgiving holiday itself, is
thoroughly New England"
Typical pies are composed of three
ingredients. They are either made of
pumpkin, mince meat or apples. The
reason for this is evident. In those
days there was nothing besides apples
and squash that could be converted
into pies. The apples were either used
alone or for mince meat.
When the Governor after the first
awful winter that the colonies en-
dured established a day of thanksgiv-
ing it was natural that it should fall on
Thursday, and that pie should be the
piece de resistance of the dinner.
The choice of days fell upon Thurs
day, because it was necessary to have
the unwonted excitement in the middle

AMERICAS FIRST
THANKSGIVING

" HE Pilgrim Fathers remembered
the old English Harvest festival
in their new home, and expressed
their thankfuIness for their first
harvest by a feast. Death had
been busy among the brave little COM
pany and half their number had been
carried off by disease.
When health and the warm spring
days came again, the little colony be-
gan to dig and prepare for planting.
Some English wheat they sowed, as
wheat and peas, but it came not to
good, either by the badness of the seed
or by the Iateness of the season, or
both, or by some other defect" Squan-
to, friendly Indian. taught them how
to plant corn and to tend to it. OF their
harvest Governor Bradford tells us
that they began now to gather in ye
small harvest they had, and to fit up
their houses and dwellings, against
winter, being all we'll recovered in
health and strength, and had all things
in good plenty" They had "a good in
crease of Indian corn, Indifferent good
barley, but the peas were not worth
the gathering
So the Governor issued a proclama-
ton appointing a Feast of Thanksgiv-
ing The largest kitchen in the colony
was that in Dame BreWster's house,
and was under the charge of Priscilla
Mullens she who later on became the
wife of John Alden, A messenger was
dispatched to invite Massasoit, saga
more of the Wampanoags, and ninety
of his warriors, to attend the celebra-
ton.
On the appointed Thursday Massa-
soft and his warriors arrived, and the
little settlement gave the Indians
hearty welcome. Soon the drum called
them to religious service, then came
period of feasting and recreation Wnlcn
was to last for three days. Atnletlc
sports were INDUCED in, ana the Ltttle
army of twenty men, under the leader
ship of Miles Standish, went through
its drill and manual of arms. linen 1oI-
lowed the great feast, which was
served in the open air.
The real Thanksgiving dinner TOOK
place on Saturday, the last day OF the
celebration The earth, the air and the
water had yielded of their oountlful
supplies to make this Thanksgiving
dinner. and when the pioneers sat down
to the meal, they saw table spread
with water fowl, Wild turkey, Venlson'
corn and barley; with this cheer they
gave thanks that by the goodness OF
God they were far from want"
Old Elder Brewster was certainly in
spired when he made his now famous
prophecy on that November day, 1921,
and how we'll it has been fulfilled:
Blessed will it be for us, blessed for
this land, for this vast continent! nay,
from generation to generation will the
blessing descend.

be lightened up somewhat ithlaushter

such genial and careless spirits have no
place in an American harvest field. 1t

Two big, blue hay-wagons slowly
skirted the bog all day, carrying the
berries to the screening and packing
house. Here few of the more respon-
sible were kept busy winnowing and
barreling. They were principally wo-
men, with faces of the true New Eng
land rural type.
The crop was abundant. Fifty acres
would yield more than eight thousand
barrels. Deacon Crowfsh, moving
about taking a hand here and there,
carried something like smile on the
edges of his facial wrinkles. The day
had its brightest side when the noon

lily picnics were spread under the trees.

of the week Mondays washing and
Tuesdays ironing were disposed of and
there were two days left to compose
the spirits for the Puritanical Sabbath.
The first Thanksgiving days were
rather joyless. affairs. There was al
ways the bountiful repast, and rela-
tives far and near gathered at the one
festive board, but there were also the
ready firearms for the lurking Indian.
LAS each year passed the day Of
Thanksgiving was celebrated with
more joy and merriment. The menu
for the Thanksgiving dinner remained
as long, but the prayers grew shorter
There was the same preparation for
weeks beforehand, and the gathering OF
all the scattered members of the fam
iIy, but games and amusements crept
into the programme for the day.
The custom did not travel South
There Christmas was the holiday OF the
year Thanksgiving was never OBJ
served. But wherever New England
people settled in the West the day was
observed.
Thanksgiving was not made a ma
tional holiday until Lincoln's admins,
tration. Even then it was not until
some time after the war that the
Southern people took any note OF
Thanksgiving.
The only feature of the day that has
remained the same throughout the
years is the Thanksgiving dinner 1be
turkey and pies enjoy their time-hon-
ored places. The observance of the day
is now general But the manner of OBJ
serving it varies Football has at
tanned the place of honor on the pro-
gramme, wherever there is Drawn and
muscle enough to form football teams
In San Francisco, where the two uni
versity teams meet annually on
Thanksgiving day, the interest in the
+IN, EnrI
wifes concern in the faky piecrust.
In a measure, too. the outcome af-
fects the consumption of pies. If the
team that has the largest following is
defeated, it naturally affects the appe-
tite and the consumption of pie is de-
creased. The same rule holds good vice
versa.
The similarity in the shape Of the
pumpkin and football. by the law of
eternal harmonicS, may have brought
about the inevitable game of football
on Thanksgiving day. This, of course,
is but a theory. Historians have en-
tirely overlooked this important point.
To really follow the lines laid down
the Puritanical ancestors pie should
be eaten at all three meals on Thanks
giving day. In the great pie belt, pie
for breakfast is an ordinary occur
renee, but outside of the region Of
perpetual pies there are those who find
it difficult to eat pie for breakfast In
California they manage to do their
share in the demolition of 10000 pies
at the other two meals.
The 10000 pies are not consumed by
the New Englanders and their de-
scendants. Whatever the birthplace
every one falls pie-eating on Thanks
giving day. Palates accustomed to the
entrees of France, the macaroni Of
Italy and the tamales of Mexico lend
themselves on this day to the seductive
charm of the pie. This is a cosmo-
politan city. but on Thanksgiving day
the old-fashioned New England pie
puts all other dishes to blush in point
of popularity.
Seventy thousand pies consumed in
one day in San Francisco is. probably
as big a showing as any city of it's
size outside of the great pie belt can
produce

Senator Stewart, Of Nevada His testi-
mony was given many years ago-soon
after the "crime of '73'S-but principles
never change, and 1 invite you to their
study as presented by him:
Everything we have got is measured
by gold. Your greenbacks are measur-
ed by gold. But your contrivance is
so uncertain that the midd1eman reaps
all the reward.
II do not care how much you discuss
1t or how many resolutions you pass,
they do not make any difference; you
must come to the same conclusion that
all other people have-that gold is rec
cgniZed as the universal standard of
value. 1t is the measure that must
be uSed.'
Universal Standard.
Do not let us try to deceive the
American people; do not let us try to
make them believe by some hocus-
pccus of legislation that we can give
them measure of value that is better
than the universal standard Of man
kind.
1t is at this point that the radical
difference appears between internation-
al bimetallism and the Democratic
scheme for the free coinage of silver
without the aid or consenteof any other
nation. Interna tional bimetallism
means the same measuring rod over
values, both at home and abroad. It
involves a use of the worlds money
and a resultant harmony in the ex-
changes. Local "bimetallism'' means
dislocation between the United States
and the rest of the commercial world in
a money standard. Besides all the
other losses and arrangements already
pointed out, it means position OF con-
tinuous disadvantage in the competi-
ton for the worlds trade and COM
merce. Nothing but the blindest dis
regard for the economic laws which
govern US more surely than, do statu-
tory enactments can lead us into such
a folly. For interna tional bimetallism
the Republican party stands pledged
To secure it, all honorable and proper
efforts will be put forth; but, until it
can be secured, it is manifestly for the
interest of our people to preserve, by
all proper means the present gold stan
dard. Through 1t we measure by the
same rule with which our competitors
measure, and by 1t we contend in the
struggle for commercial supremacy
with weapons evenly matched to those
of our we'll armed antagonists.
