THANKSGIVING DAY.

thanksgiving is religious festival that ;s cell
ebrated In the United States 1t somewhat resem-
bles the Hebrew feast which is called "the inpatb-

by the coloniss of Plymouth in the wear 1922 after
the harvesting was over Preparations were made
Tor great feast, and men were sent out to hunt
and procure game. The Indians were invited to
take part and treaty made with them which
lasted fir over fifty years.
And the dinner-never was table decl,ed ,;+l
more savory dishes, even if not graeed with the
dehcacles OF the old world. Turkey, venison, In
dian puddlngs pumpkin pies, all prepared by com
petent cooks, the substantial foods Of the
feast And today many families of the United
States do not forget to remember the anniversary
For many years the celebration of Thanksgiy-
ing was confined to New England, and it was not
until our great civil war that it was made no
tional holiday and regularly appointed by the pres

And after Myles Standish's death the people
erected a monument in his honor, with statue of
Myles top of it, on Capitol hill in Duxbury Ply

that day has been Thanksgiving ever since; today
it is celebrated the last Thursday of November.

Better Roads.

The agitation for state good
roads law Is just now beginning to
assume definite form. and it is hoped
that sufficient influence will be
brought to bear upon the legislature
to secure the enactment of legislation
that will permit the formation of a
system looking to the betterment of
the state highways. West Virginia
is notorious for its bad roads and the
natural development OF its resources
has resulted in a demand for good
roads. 1t Is probable that the legls-
iature will take action along lines
recommended by the state highway
commissioner. and It is certain that
such action will meet with popular
approval Huntington Herald.

The forests OF the United States

forests covered not less than $50 mil

School chlIdren and lIail Orders.

sSSIlOt htulufRu G..u 'i"t. NtNS'
Have the public schools of clarks-
burg gone into the mail ardar bust
ness? This question Is asked as the
result of reports reaching the Tele-
gram office that school children have
been converted into solicitors and
are actively canyassing the city for
articles Of merchandise such as soap
in particular manufactured at Buff
falo, ". Y, to which city the money
for orders thus obtained is RENTED.
1t is stated that the children are
given lists and requested to go among
their neighbors and get orders for
teas. cotfees, soap and the like. with
premiums offered to buyers to specl-
fed amounts.
The school children themselves, as
the Telegram understands it, get
nothing for their work. except that
the order house presents the school
board with book cases for the schools.
There is serious objection to this
method Of acquiring book cases for
the school libraries and a question
able task imposed upon the school
children. The people of Clarksburg
are amply able TO furnish all the
book cases for the schools they need
and are perfectly willing to do so.
The children could we'll employ their
time much better, and the home mer-
chanat would feel much better treat.
ed, If the schools were to withdraw
from partnership in the mail order
business. The merchandise sold in
this manner by the schools ought to
be sold by home merchants. The
book cases acquired by the premium
list method for work that takes away
from the home merchant his rightful
patronage can very well be furnished
by home furniture establishments.
There is sim another feature of
this extraordinary practice, which Sc
verely condemns it, that is, the fact
that the Buffalo house pays no taxes
here to keep up the schools. but the
home merchants do pay taxes to keep
them up.
The schools of the city are also
home institutions and as such should

rather than for the benefit of foreign
establishments, which have not the
slightest interest in the welfare and
progress of the Clarksburg schools.
except in so far as the orders they
receive through the schools as agen-
cies create.
The question of child labor and
child training is more and more to
the front and touches upon the en-
Payments of methods, but the Tele-
gram would be greatly surprised to
hear of any Of the leaders of the
movement advocating the soliciting
by school children Of mail orders, and
especially for houses, which do not
recognize the principle of union

According to the snake" statistics
for 1907 the total mortality among
human beings caused by snake bite
fell from 22,S11 IN 1906 to 21.41S In
1907. So low a figure has not been
reached since 1897.
The decease is noticeable mainly
in Bengal and Eastern Bengal ana
Assam, where the figures fell from
S,S62 and $3.50 in 1906 to S,276 and
1000 respectively in 1907. The most
important increases occurred in Nil'
ras and Burma. where the figures
rose from 1927 and LAO il 1906 10
1877 and 1,34S respectively. The de-
crease in Eastern Bengal and Assam
is attributed to the floods having
been lower. The Central Provinces
