 ''Oh, lots of things" said the son as he recitSd his course of studies. "Then," he concluded, T also studied logic"
 Logic" said the old man. What is that, my boy?"
 Well" replied the young fellow, "let me give you a demonstration. How many chickens are on that dish, fatherY a,

 Well" said John, ''I can prove that there are three" Then he stuck his fork in one and said, That Is one, isn't it" .. ...@..
 ''Yes," said the father.
 And this is two?" sticking his fork in the second

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving. Let us give thanksl . What! You haven't got Anything to be thankful fors Or You have got What You can't be thankful forf Oh, say. That's no way To feel about a good thingl Brace up and bring Yourself to the front. Don't growl and grunt And do the sorry stunt Pull out of the ruck If you're down on your luck And reach for the skies that are blue. Get out of the shade Your troubles have made. By heck, 1t is up to you! We know this Is a vale of tears, Chuckful of woe and sorrow, And turkey that we eat today Is not so good tomorrow. We know that labor is a cross, But still we have to bear 1t. We know that fortune breaks sometimes. And we cannot repair it. But, say. Occasionally good things come our way, Don't they? Sure they do, And bully ones too. So let us growl and swear and kick On every day save one. On that one let us pause and thank The Lord for what he's done The way we thought he ought to do To square himself with me and you. Say We can stand for one Thanksgiving day, Cant we? By gum, If everything Is on the bum We must be to blame some! What!

The First Thanksuivinq.

The first Thanksgiving in New Eng land Is described in a letter written to flowing and old friend" and dated at Plymouth, this 11th of November. 1921" This flowing and old friend" Is supposed to have been a certain George Morton, who had married a sister of Governor Bradford and who came over to Plymouth in July. 1923. The letter is signed E. w., and these are taken to be the initials of Edward Winslow. Of the 102 emigrants who landed on the 11th (old style) of De cember, 1920. on the bleak coast of Cape Cod, almost one-half had died and nearly all of the remainder had suffered seriously from Restitution and the rigors of the winter, for which they were i'll prepared. The reward, how. ever, of the industry of the few who were not disabled was so abundant as to call forth the thankfulness of this very religious colony. The letter al luded to says; "Ycu shall understand that in this little time that d few of us have been here we have built seven dwelling houses and -four for the use of the plantation and have made prep aration for seven others. We net the last spring solne twenty acres of bar ley and peas. and, according to the manner of the Indians we manured our ground with herrings. or. rather, shads. which we have in great abun- daHce and take with great ease at our doors. Om corn did prove we'll, and. Godsbe praised, we had a good increase of Indian corn. and our barley indiffer- ant good, but our peas not worth the yathering"

EXPECT TO BUILD
PUMP PLANT HERE
Chicago Men Think This Fa-

WENT HOME LAST NIGHT
Engineers In Party VIII Recommend
Birmingham as Having Advan-
tages Over Dallas and At
1anta, Both Considered
WENT HOME LAST NIGHT

yesterday evening In Birmingham and
considered the proposition of establish
ing a pump manufacturing plant hero.
The men were F. I. CORTLAND, II. c.
Ayerton, NJ. II. Isle and w. B. AIRING
ton. The first two represent a large
amount of capital, while the later two
are the technical men. Messrs. Lisle and
Arlington have been to Dallas, Atlanta
and Birmingham examining the facilities
OF each for the location of such a plant.
Neither of the other two cities COM
pares with Birmingham so far as To-
cation of the plant is concerned said
Mr.. Arlington, land Mr.. Lisle and myself
will recommend that Birmingham be de-
cided upon. We made our investigation
here first, about three weeks ago, and
then took in the other two cities. Each
of us has quite number of friends mere
who interested themselves In showing
us around, and we are very much i'm
pressed with the district. The establish
ing of thiY pump plant is practically an
assured fact and Birmingham will I'M
doubtedly be the location decided apon."
F. I. CORTLAND, who will be president
OF the corporation in case it is formed.
did not care to discuss the matter very
much Yes, It's true we're considering
the location of a pump plant in Birmng-
ham and the suggestions of our engineers
are favorable to Birmingham he said
I'VE have an ample amount of capital
and a good pump, and believe we could
do a great southern business with 1t
We are averse to publicity at this time
as our plans and ideas are still in tang led
shape, and it will proba bly, be some time
before actual work on the plant gets I'm
der way"
Messrs. CORTLAND and Ayerton came in
over the Frisco from Memphis, arriving
here about o'clock yesterday afternoon
Messrs. Isle and Arlington came over
from Atlanta, reaching here about the
same time. They consulted over the mat
ter and the entire group left for Chicago
at S:45 O. clock last night
All four were a bit retcent about dis
cussing the proposed plnnt and their
visit here, and it was only after much
questioning that they acknowledged tile
purpose of their visit
Should the plant be established here
it will employ between TO and 100 skilled
men and quite number of common
laborers There is all the capital neces-
sary,' said Mr. Arlington, which would in
dictate that an expensive plant would be
