The first Thanksgiving held on
American soil WAS by the pilgrim ia

they landed Mt Plymouth rock. 1t was
not very much of Thanksgiving, for
they did not feel that they had very
much TO be thankful for but was rath-
er revival of the English harvest

h 1622 and with much about the same
result in giving thanks. In 1923, how
ever, an expected ship failed TO ar
rive with provisions when they were
likely to be most wanted, and the
prospects of famine were so bright
that Governor Bradford, acting In the
undoubted exercise of his prerogative,
ordered day to be set apart for fast
Ing, humiliation and prayer.
But before the day appointed had
come provisions turned up all right,
and the day WAS turned Into one OF

Hotel and restaurant proprietors
have long since appreciated the impor-
tanee OF Thanksgiving day as "jour

prepared the national dish" Among
these were the Athenee, Langham and
Continental hotels and Noel, Peters
and Champcux restaurants, which
were all crowded with Americans ut

THANK OFFERINGS.


Rich residents In Wcstchester coun-

day by having turkeys and dinners
distributed among their poor neigh
bors at hospitals and homes FOR poor
children.
William Rockefeller through his
manager, had turkeys given to his en-
ployees while Miss Helen Miller
Gould, though she was far away on a
trip, did not forget the little crippled
boys at her home called Woodycrest
near Irylngton. Every year the little
tots who are educated by her special
teachers are given turkey dinner,
and last year was no exception. Miss
Gould sent word to have II special
Thanksgiving feast served to them.

Thanksaivina Hints.

Let no one else suspect that you have
little cause for thankfulness.
Remember that every one has cause
to be thankfu-if not for personal. at
least for family, sectional and national
reasons.
Try to find the true spirit Of thanks
giving In thinking of other peoples
happiness and so find Mt least faint
reflection In your own heart.
Remember that there are more rea-
sons for the national holiday than a
football game and n big dinner.
DO not let the responsibility OF en-
tertaining guests interfere with the
pleasure OF their society.
IF the unavoidable bitches In the
domestic machinery occur, console
yourself with the thought that, al
though the turkey was UNDERGONE, the
pumpkin pie was beyond reproach and
that If the cook forgot the celery she
remembered the salad dressing which
you had forgotten.
And try for one day to he charitable
hot only in deed, but In every thought
and word

No Fires to Cook Their TURKEYS

Two hundred thousand people in
twenty Missouri towns awoke on Nov.
20 last to learn that there was no fuel
with which to cook their Thanksgiving
turkeys. The natural gas, the only
fuel used In this part OF the state, was
unobtainoble owing to the bursting of
a sixteen inch main at Altamont Kan.
Discarded stoves were dragged from
cellars and storage rooms, and there
was scramble for fuel. In most OF
the homes the turkeys were served ex.
ceedingly rare.
