Since glad Thanksgiving day Is, here
Let's close the door
On every thought save those that cheer
The wind may roar
And in your heart an echo find.
If you will let it.
Let grief be banished from your mind
Forget 1t.
Ingratitude may wear a sneer
AS thoughts of yore
Like unlimited guests draw near,
And pleasures store
Seems leaden. Leave the Past behind
Do not regret 1t.

 BEFORE GRAND JURY

Indianapolis, December 21.-Claude E. Meyers, chief of police of Tiffin, Ohio, where $40 pounds of dynamite and other explosives were found hidden in a barn the day of the arrest of John J. McNamara in Indianapolis on last April 22, was the chief witness be- fore the federal grand jury in the in vestigation of the dynamite conspiracy today.
 He was among those from whom, it was said, the investigators are ex- pected to learn who, besides the Me- Namaras and Ortie McManigal, were implicated in explosions in Pennsyl vania, Ohio and Indiana to carry on, which the stores at Tiffin were used as base of supplies.
 County Prosecutor Frank r. Baker also was before the grand jury. He was summoned because of his work as a prosecutor in conducting an inves- tigation of explosions In Indianapolis Baker earlier in the day had been fined S50 for contempt because he interrupted a trial in the court by dragging in a detective who was working on the dy namite investigation and whom Baker said was "shadowing' him.
 Seven days work for the federal grand jury has developed that the evi- denee is more voluminuous and the number of witnesses to be. called from distances is greater than anticipated
 The investigation will stop tempor arily tomorrow when the jurors will adjourn until January 3. It will then require month to complete the in uuiry
