To show you it is there.

HOLIDAYS. The stern old New England
pioneers who established Thanksgiving
Maid little heed to Christmas. and OF
course the Glorious Fourth has been
celebrated but little over century,
while Memorial day was not estab-

has become wholly neglected in these
later days and which never had the
popularity or significance as holiday
that Thanksgiving enjoyed from the
