Pretty Thanksgiving Entertainment
For the Children.


A pilgrim party was primarily in
tended to amuse and instruct the chill.
dren, but every member Of the family
entered heartily into the spirit Of the
occasion and welcomed the children In
the costume of that period.
The girls wore the quaint pilgrim
costume made Of simple material, with
the kerchief, cuffs and cap, while the
boys were attired In the picturesque
tall hat. sash. cuffs and collar. The
hats were made from pasteboard or
buckram, covered with cloth, and there
were gorgeous buckles fashioned from
cardboard, covered with tin foil. some
Of them studded with gllstening color
ored beads.
The rooms. excepting the dining
room. which had been converted into a
bower suggestive Of the long ago. were
simply decorated. Pictures Of Dutch
scenes and the pilgrims adorned the
walls. and an old fashioned grandfather
clock licked away In one corner, while
old china and pewter plates and bowls
were placed on cabinets and mantel.
wheels and various other articles were
artstically arranged about the room.
The room was lighted entirely by can
dies in silver and brass candlesticks.
The table was covered with a white
cloth. At each corner silver candle
stick, holding white candle without
= shade, was placed. The place cards
consisted Of tiny boats folded from wa
, ter color paper Souvenirs of the happy
/ occasion were pumpkin shaped cases
filed with delicious homemade candy.
/ The centerpiece was an oval mirror,
on which rested rather large toy boat
with "Mayfower" painted on either
side nearing a large moss covered stone
bearing the date 1920. Around the mir

bits Of evergreens.
The menu consisted Of sandwiches, q
nut and fruit salad served In rosy
checked apples and cream frozen in the
shape Of red and yellow ears of corn
When the children were seated, man

ones as well. examined the quaint ole
articles about the room, told stories o.
the pilgrims and sang patriotic songs
closing with "America."-Alice Pag'

OSTEOPHY AS DEFINED
IN APPLETION'S UNIvER.
SAL CYCLOPAEDIA

"Osteopathy is method of
treating diseases of the human
booy without the use of drugs, by
means Of manipulations applied
to various nerve centers, chiefly
those along the spine, with view
to inducing free circulation of the
blood and lymph, and an equal
distribution of the nerve forces.
Especial attention is given to
the readjustment Of any bones,
by DR.. A. Il. Still. He reasoned
muscles, or ligaments not in the
normal position.
"The system was formulated
that body so perfectly construc-
ted mechanically should be able
to protect itself against the in.
roads or disease without the arti-
fical aid of external substances,
except those employed as food.
Ellis next conclusion was that
as natural flow of blood is
health, and disease is the effect Of
local or general disturbance of
blood. With this as a working
hypothesis, he made series of
experiments, the results Of which
convinced him that the various
organs of the body were controll-
ed by nerve centers located chief
ly along the spine, and that these
could be operated upon and con-
trolled by pressure or stimulation
Of the fingers. He holds also that
if the bones, muscles, arteries,
veins, lymphatics, glands, organs,
and tissues of the body are in the
ir correct anatomical positions, dis
ease cannot exist. Displacement
may arise from variety Of caus-
es, such as a fall, blow, strain
or atmospheric change. Pressure
upon the blood vessels or nerves
in the immediate vicinity of the
part so affected will follow, and 9
consequent shutting off of the
nerve or blood supply to some or
gan, which will then become dis
eased. With a readjustment o.
the displaced part will come per
feet freedom of motion of all tn,
fluids, forces and substances per
tanning to life. thus reestablish
! ing a condition known as health.

First American THANKSGIVING,

FTTo0 NTV~TTVdH 'HdHNSY'V'Hg'
In 1921, so historians say, was held
the first American Thanksgiving cele-
bration. That was when, the party Of
colonists having been declmated by
death and menaced by innumerable
perils, Governor Bradford called the
survivors together for the expression
Of gratitude to God. In that festival,
which has been much written OF, the
red men participated, and there was
feasting on wild turkeys and "fowles."

Gives Views
Concerning Coming
Election.

The election of FIVE trustees to ad.
minister the affairs Of the Cache
county school district, to be held on
Dec. End Is Of the utmost Importance.
Men of good business ability who
have shown In their past q deep In.
terest In education, and who are broad
and liberal In their Views, should be
selected by the people. Men who are
inexperienced In business affairs, and
who will work only for the interests OF
one particular section, or who will
not give the time and attention neces-
sary for a full performance Of the
duties OF the office, will work great
injury to the school interests which,
at the present time, are prospecting as
they never have prospered before.
Under the old system, with seventy.
eight trustees to attend to school
matters, one half, or even two.thirds
OF the number could neglect their
duty. and still the schools might be
fairly we'll cared for; but with only
five trustees, one from each repre-
sentative precinct, each man must be
an efficient man. He must be qualified
for large affairs, or for small details,
and be determined to give the time
and attention necessary to make his
part OF the district and also the whole
district successful.
The feeling exhibited in some quar-.
tiers to elect men as trustees, who
were, and are, opposed to the consoli'
dalton movement Is certainly fraught
with extreme danger to the educa'
tional interests of the county. II
would be impossible to have the best
interests OF the schools served with 9
board OF education who were working
under system to which they are op
posed. The voters should remember
that they have sacred duty to per
form 10 looking after the welfare o
the schools. To have a whole hearted
successful administration its affair
must be handled by It's friends; 1t
enemies will not exercise that devo
ton and self.sacriticlng spirit, tina
are necessary to success In every goo
work.
All the districts OF the county, out
side OF Logan, are united Ia one, an
1t is for this united district that trus
tees are now TO be.elected to manag
its affairs. The question Of consolida
tion Is now In the court, and consol
dalton must hold until they decid
otherwise; let the court make its.dt
cision. In the meantime, conservative
men and women will understand tina
. the schools are In session land thei
5 progress and further growth shout
not be hindered by the election of ir
efficient, or unfriendly persons o
trustees.

When Not to Smoke.

IT is quite certain that much may be
done to diminish the risk of tobacco
amblyopia by paying attention 70 GER
tain points of personal hygiene. For
instance, a rule should be made never
to smoke upon an empty stomach, but
as far as possible only after meals It
is absolutely bad to smoke before dim
ner and equally bad to smoke late at
night to keep awake at ones work. it
should also be forbidden to chew the

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
They Succeeded the System of Nonni-
nation by Caucus.

They Succeeded the System of Nomi-
nation by Caucus.
Conventions have not always nomi-
mated our presidents and vice presi-
dents. For more than thirty years
presidential candidates were named by
caucus made up of members OF the
house and the senate This system
died when in 1924 the caucus insisted
upon by Martin Van Buren, and other
friends of William II. Crawford of
Georgia defeated Crawford, which
threw the election into the house on
account of the scattering electoral vote
caused by the entrance of Clay, Cal
houn, Jackson and John Quincy Adams
in the race This fracas elected Adams.
The campaign of 1923 in consequence
was somewhat demoralized, and in
1881 the Republicans followed the ex-
ample the anti-Masonic party had set
the year before and met in cOnven-
ton in Baltimore to nominate Henry
Clay. The Democrats held their first
national convention in the same dty
the following year, nominating Martin
Van Buren, for vice president. The
dominating figure OF the party, Andrew
Jackson, needed no Endorsement of his
candidacy for the presidency.
The Democrats in 1885 and 1910
nominated Van Buren, for the presi-
dency in Baltimore, and the Wings
nominated Clay in the same place in
1914, when the Democrats named Polk.
In 1885 ROmUlus NJ Saunders intro
dtced the two-thirds rule TO the Demo
cratic convention, and it was adopted.
The customs installed at these earlier
conventions which succeeded the tyran-
ny of the caucus chamber have been
continued and added to from time to
time, and the conventions today are
merely the descendants OF those that
nominated Clay and Van Buren,

A fox is bound to be a thief when
ever he has half chance to steal, says
London Answers. He can no more
help taking a goose than badly train
ed cat can help taking chop from the
larder. There was a tame fox that
was chained in yard to keep him out
of mischief, but he soon hit upon a
plan for Selling a stray duck or fowl.
At the very farthest point to which his
chain would reach he used to place a
portion of his food and then hide him
self in his kennel In due course a
silly chicken was sure to spy the bait
and begin pecking at IT. Before it had
had time to enjoy its meal, however,
the fox would pounce upon it and the
stock of poultry be reduced by one.

woman's notion of the horizon is the
families she can see moving in from
behind her front window curtains. If,
further, they hang out their washing
in a spirit Of candor, they are, of
course, all the more 50. The horizon
is caused by number of things, chief
among them the gregarious instinct.

and small metallic tubes, to which he
had fitted faucets. Having set up his

was good-so good that it was decided
to make the machine known. One day
