general observances of days of thanks
giving in this country. The congress
of 1777, the one which prepared the
articles of confederation for adoption
by the colonies, adopted resolution
setting apart the eighteenth day of
December, 1777. to be observed as q
day OF solemn thanksgiving and
praise throughout the United States.
Washington. during his administra-
ton, issued two thanksgiving procla-
nations. one in 1889 and the other in
1875. just after the suppression of
the Whisky rebellion" which had
threatened the peace of the country.
and President Madison issued one
upon the declaration OF peace in
1915. However, in the early years
of the nation the rule was for the CO.
lonial custom to be followed and the
proclamation made emanated from
the governors. The western states,
largely people from New England or
New York, early followed the lead Of
these portions OF the country. AS we
have seen. the annual recommends

Decorative Conceits and Fauors
For the Thanksgiving Festivities

The pious, hard-driven, worn-out, but
thankful Puritans who sat down at
their tables one November, a few cen
turtles ago, and made the first Thanks
giving Day, never knew to what
lengths they were to drive the In
genuity of their poor descendants.
But It wasn't their fault after all, that
the preparer of the Thanksgiving feast
today has to attend just as much to
the turkeys surroundings as to the
turkey itself. 1t was good enough for
them to have a well-stocked larder
from which could come the turkey, the
celery, the pumpkin pie, the cranber-
ries and all the other goodies which
history puts down to their credit.
Even the comparatively recent New
Englanders were content with all
these as long as they looked tempting
and tasted good. But today, even the
important fowl itself is hardly more
important than the ribbons, the can
dies, the favors. the adornments Of
all kinds, which must appear on the
Thanksgiving table
Don't bother about having too
much to eat," an up-to-date daughter
was heard to say to her New England
mother the other day. II want plenty
of room for the ribbons and the candy
boxes"
It's the same way with other daugh-
ters of an esthetic turn of mind, rath-
er than practical one, and it looks
as if their ambitions to make things
look pretty" may be realized Ahis year,
for there is goodly array Of Thanks
giving favors and table decorations of
all kinds.
OF course the turkey reigns SUI
preme, even If 1t is In paper, and Is
seen in all sizes. all kinds, roasted to
a beautiful dark brown as the cook
book says, or standing important and
majestic with its big fan-shaped feath-
er tail high In the air, In most cases

but certain new china turkeys are

Netherlands also appointed different
dates for public thanksgiving, from
time to time, and in some historical
works there is record of dispute as
to which of these colonies deserved
the credit for having first inaugurated
the day. Most of the best founded
historians, however, give the credit to
the New England states.
The Dutch governors of New Meth
erlands appointed occasional days of
thanksgiving in 1914, 1915. 1855 and
1864, and the English governors fol-
lowed their example in 1855 and 1T60.

they are transferred to the tray which each pick

to dozen hand plckers.
The cranberries as picked on the boys are
placed In huge wooden boxes and transferred
to nearby frame building, where they are
passed through machine known as a "separa-
tor" which takes out all the leaves twigs and
other foreign matter. Then they are sorted for
the elimination of any bad or worm-eaten ber-
ries and finally placed in barrels, which are
hauled away to railroad yards to be loaded into

to the ground in perfect tangle, and save for
keeping out the weeds and battling with the
insect pests, which are numerous the cranber-
ries do not require very much cultivation or
attention until harvest time approaches in the
autumn. Then the cranberry grower must look
forward to a period of anxiety, careful, ser
ious scrutiny of the weather. He must
keep close watch on the weather, for If a frost
comes ere the crop is harvested it will work
sad havoc unless the grower has been fore
warned and flooded his bog or built great bon
fires to keep up the temperature.
