rHURSDAY, November 3Oth has been designated by Presiden
Roosevelt as a day on which to give thanks commemorative
of the landing made on Plymouth Rock nearly three centur'
o When the day was first set aside as one of rejoicing it w
meant merely as an anniversary event but custom has since mad
tia dav that marked the events of the preceding year.
The thanksgiving day ola few generations ago, ~as de
voutly and piously observed now it is energetcal1y and NOR
or less ioyousy "ceIebrated.' Each method was in accordance
with the spirit and development of the times.
We all have cause for rejoicing at the progress made during
the past year as a nation, MOI is there but few localities but thai

The events that are even now occurring in this section must

created since that day when the befrocked Puritans landed on
that greatly honored old ro,k on the Mass chu>e It's shore.
While the Puritanical methods have long since become anti.

and tradition still presents, of the entire Puritan family, clad III
Sundays best, breakfastless. moving decorously to church to
give thanks 10 theGlvero of all Good, by the long prayer, long hymn,
and longer sermon method. We must confess also to no small
degree of Dissatisfaction over the fact that these same people later
in the day supplemented their rigid worship OF the morning with
a bounteous least that followed the gospel service of the morn
ing.
The Thanksgiving of today differs vastly from that of the
Puritan forefather, but in its elemental essentials it is the same

KNOCKER is rs vastly inferior to the man who pushes as
is the devil when compared TO an angel The influence of one is all
for good, while the influence of the other is all for bad. No matter
what a mans financial or social status, he is valueless to the
best interests of community, unl,ss he makes it a part of his
daily routine to boost his town. Falhon is being boosted. Her
advantages are being set forth in their true light. Let all Join

The Lunacy Law.

The Attorney General rendered al
opinion respecting the lunacy law
and the expenses of lunacy trials.
He holds tht where a lunatic belong.
ing to one county is tried in another
and adjudged insane, the expense shall
fall upon the county in which the
lunatic belongs. Where a lunatic is
placed in the asylum under section
2S43 of the Code, the Board of SUI
pervlsors has no authority to pay any
part OF the expense Of examination
by the physicians, nor any part Of the
expense incurred in removing the
lunatic. This section applies to cases
where the friends or relatives of the
lunatic desire to avoid publicity and
to place the lunatic quietly in the asy-
lum without court proceeding, and
and in such eases the Boards Of SUI
pervisors have nothing to do with the
cost or expenses.
Where a lunatic is tried under the
provisions of section 1886 of the Code
and found not to be lunatic, the exc
penses can not be collected either
from the county, the estate of the per-
son tried, or the person charged with
maintaining him as a pauper.
