has been thanksgiving day gener-

ent National Thanksgiving, 1t IS
known in England as the Harvest
Home Festival. When congress ap-
pointed our day for national
thanksgiving, this ancient custom of
the church was gladly conformed TO
the arrangements made by the civil
authorities and the day, which had
before been the first Thursday in
November, was made either that or
"such other day as shall be appoint
ed by the civil authority"
Therefore, the objects of our
thanksgiving are, in general. two
fold: lin the words which we shall
say Thursday 1, For the return
Of the seed time and harvest, for
the increase of the ground and the
gathering of the fruits thereof. and
.(2) for all the other blessings of
Thy merciful Providence bestowed
upon this nation and people
The one thing about Thanksgiving
day we are all most apt to forget is
that it is day of thanksgiving. 1t
has come to be all too much time
for mere pagan congratulation of
ourselves that we possess this or
that of the good things of life; for
feasting and pleasure from which
the Godward aspect of the day has
been dropped out. The day ought, If
it is used Alright, to be a thanksgiv-
ing from us to our Heavenly Father.

Auburn. August 4-(Speeial)-Dr. Knapp, director of demonstration expert ments of the United States department of agriculture, last night at Langdon hall before an audience of over 200 farmers
 delivered d most instructive address on thrift and economy in farming. He dis cussed the four general head: Feeding people feeding stock. the housing of crops and the housing of people. He took a survey of agriculture throughout the entire world, making detailed and ac- curate comparisons of wage, food, crops
 etc. in different countries. "A penny saved is a penny made was the idea running throughout the address in re-
 gard to the question of food and nutri- tion for the human body. He pointed out the uneconomical and extravagant fea- lures of American, and particularly southern practices. Less meat and more cereals, mllks and eggs as diet, he declared. would cut the food bill in two in the middle and make possible much more efficient work Second hay and good forage plants as food for animals are more economical by half than ration of corn. The introduction and rearing of small animals like pigs, lambs, and goats was advocated, and strlkinsy illustrated.

NEW EPIDEMIC STRIKES
 BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT

The checker / germ is getting in it's Is being carried on to an alarming ex- tent As stated in these columns some days ago the first case of this epidemic appeared in the federal building and has been spreading rapidly ever since. Pro- lessor Jumpingking, the expert scientist, discovered positively some two weeks ago that the playing of checkers was a germ disease which was readily proven by infected with 1t.
 It has also spread all over the business part of Birmingham, cases having been reported from Morris avenue city hall, court house. all four of the skyscrapers, fin fact numerous cases have been re- ported from every portion of the district bounded by Avenue B on the south, Sixth avenue on the north, Eighteenth street on the west and Twenty-hrst street on the east. Several bad cases have been reported from Central market.
 Professor Jumpingking does not believe in resting on his laurels. but believes the half has never been told" and has kept hard at work endeavoring to discover just how the germ enters the body, and has discovered another strange thing concern ing this particular germ.

to be distinctly a burglar for he enters through the windows of the human face, which windows are commonly called eyes. The method in which these germs are transported to the eye is another riddle which the professor deserves great credit for solving.
 When q person places his finger on a checker he picks up several million germs. The federal building Is. of course. tho place where all mail is assorted, and as is well known every person in this particular building has been infected with the dread disease. The question is then very easily answered, for every letter which coms in contact with the fingers of the mail clerks takes up two million of these germs.
 The germ is very prolific and It's mum bers increase at the rate of ten per hour, therefore one of these letters Is covered with twenty million of thes germs at the end of an hour from the time of handling. When person receives an envelope through the mall he opens it. reads the letter and then rubs his eyes with wonder at the contents. Of course his fingers have become covered with the germs and when he places hls fingers on his eyelids he leaves about one million germs on 1t.
 He then becomes crazy and won't do anything but play checkers unless he has the constitutional power to overcome the infection.

HARR0LSON HELD
 ON MURDER CHARGE
EVIDENCE IS SAID TO IMPLlCATE HIM IN THE KILLING OF CHAS. RICHARDSON AT BESSEMER YESTERDAY MORNING.

Charles Harrolson, an employe of the Standard Oil company at Bessemer, was placed in the county jail yesterday on d charge of murder. Harrolson is charged with murdering Charles Richardson, a salesman for the Anchor Supply company Saturday night by shooting him in a negro house in Bessemer
 The evidence on which Harrolson is being held is somewhat incomplete but certain circumstances in the case cause suspicion which rests upon him, and con sequently he was arrested yesterday morning by Deputy J. W. Smithson and placed in jail.
 Richardson was found yesterday morn ing in a negro house near the creek in Bessemer with bullet hole through his right cheek, just under the eye. Death Is supposed to have been almost instan- taneous. The body was found by negro woman, who states that she went over to see the negro woman who lived in the house where the man was found. She states that when she went over she knocked on the door, and receiving nc answer she opened the door and found the dead man lying inside.
 The matter was reported to the police authorities and an investigation was made. The negro woman who lived n the house where the shooting occurred has disappeared, and nothing had been seen of her at midnight last night. It is o1o for the shooting of Richardson, but the facts in the case do not show that she fired the fatal shot.
 Officers In the sheriffs office are work ing hard on the case.
