For These Things We Give Thanks.

For These Things We Give Thanks.
Thanksgiving day we should all be
able to give thanks to our parents for
these things
For clean name, unsullied by ques-
tionable transactions, honorable in
human relations.
For an untainted birth, with such
health as purity transmits, and for the
brooding tenderness that guarded and
cherished us before birth and made
careful preparation for our coming.
For wholesome food, sufficient cloth
ing, and comfortable shelter until our
coming of age, or during the lifetime
Of our parents.
For education, according to the best
standards of which they knew suited
to our individual needs and possibli-
ties, and preparing us to earn our
own livings.
For such knowledge of our bodies
and minds, and such reverence for
them as makes intemperance impos-
sible
Thank Him for All.
Giving thanks for all things unto
God. "-Eph. v. 20.
Thanksgiving is the mark of a truly
religious man. If We are always beg
ging God for his mercies without ex-
pressing to him our sincere gratitude,
we become selfish in our demands. God
delights to impart his mercies to us,
but he also takes pleasure in our
gratitude to him for his benefits. Only
an appreciative heart is able to fully
enjoy Gods unfailing goodness. It
is certain that the more we try to
praise. the more we will see. how our
path and our daily way are beset with
ever watching to do us good.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(BY GRAEME O'GERAN.)

The football season is over, at least
as far as we are concerned. The team
has cancelled all it's games. Basket
ball is to take its place, and splendid
team will soon be mustered into SER
vice. Six games are planned; two
with Sheboygan, two with Neenah and
two with Brillion. The first game
will be played at Brillion. Mr. Eddy
knows how to coach the team, sure.
Supt. Zimmers has prohibited basket
ball playing by the girls.
The second issue of the Manitou was
received Monday and is quite neat
book. 1t is printed on much better
grade of paper and contains forty
pages. The cover is gray and printed
in two colors.
1t takes the freshmen and sophomore
classes to do things when it comes to a
voluntary basket ball team. The fol-
lowing is the line up of a team recent
ly organized, and from the looks of it
the members ought to be able to do
fine work.
Center-F. Whitney.
Left-A. Mohr.
Right-Gentgen.
Right Guard-G. Schroeder,
Left Guard-L. Schroeder.
Subs Murphy and Welk.
The average weight of the team is
100 pounds. The team challenges any
team of equal weight to arrange and
play game with them.
Lewis Nyhagen has been appointed
to the Manitou staff.
Arthur Gerpheide has returned to
school after brief illness.

1t is the folly-and nothing less thar
folly-that characterizes the conduct
OF far too many parents in regard tc
their children, and especially theil
daughters, who, in some weak moment
behaved indiscreetly, and possibly
shamefully. A child is a child, and nc
act of a parent can make it otherwise
Disinheritance, anger, unkindness anC

THANKSGIVING REvERIEs.

The autumn of 1921 waned on, a
prosperous community. Plymouth,
Mass, was both healthy and wealthy.
Sickness, though it had destroyed one
half the company of pilgrims, had
| ceased and the crops, as whole, had
been good, the peas alone failing. All
the houses in the settlement had been
put into condition and goodly stock
OF furs and prepared lumber had been
made ready for export to England by
the next ship. The waters swarmed
with fish and sea fowl were abundant.
The call of the wild turkey was heard
in the woods and the patter of the
fleeting deer was nothing strange.
The summer was past; the harvest
ended. The pilgrims decided upon a
period of recreation. The governor
sent out four huntsmen, who in one
day secured game to last the colony a
week. Hospitality was extended to
Massasoit of the neighboring settle
ment, who brought ninety people with
nm. The guests remained thirty
days. The company engaged in rounds
of amusementS, in which military
drills and religious services formed a
part. Thus, heartily and loyalty, was
inaugurated the great New England
festival of Thanksgiving. For two
centuries it has continued to be OBJ
served, at first mostly in the eastern
states, but it has now become national,
its annual return finding a welcome
from boundary to boundary.

the heart so spontaneously pours out
its grateful tribute to the Father
above for all his goodness through the
year. And this applies equally to our.
selves as nation, as communities
and as individuals. For peace within

leave too little time for reflection on
the divine goodness; yet every day
we are surrounded by blessings.
Sleeping and waking, on the farm in
the store, the office, the workshop,
we are still the objects of his won.

verses we encounter, he enables us

ing year has had its sorrows, we feel
that the joys have outweighed them,
and that we are still Gods debtors in
thanks for multitudinous blessings.
Let us show our gratitude for all of
these mercies by reaching out help.

less fortunate than ourselves. Re

there are those to whom a kindly

so doing, you will make your own
heart the lighter, your own home the
brighter and your own Thanksgiving
table more enjoyable to all who sit
around 1t.

The thanksgiving Of a nation is an
act of grace truly impressive in its
significance. The more thoughtful
leaders of our people will lay less en-
pbasis upon the material prosperity of
the United States than upon its ire
mendous social and moral opportuni-
ties. For bountiful crops and heavy
exports, for high wages and increasing
values, it is well to be thankful in so
ar as these things minister to the life
of the spirit, the markings of manhood,
the enriching of the average exper-
fence. But for the enlargement of
our ideals, the raising of the standard
of public duty, the increasing care for
the weak and immature, the recogni-
ton of responsibilities higher than the
mere piling mp of individual fortunes
and a government surplus-for these
things we may well give thanks.

Thanksgiving day is the one day in
the year when the nation, turns to
heaven in thanks for its preservation.
The life of the nation is the principal
considerations not only in life. but its
health, and its preservation in that

by the fathers of the country. Men
can thank God for their accumulations
or supplicate him 10 tighten their

a national thanksgiving. The nation

STORING SEED CORN
STORAGE ROOM SHOULD BE DR.
AND WE'LL VENTI-
LATED.
A Moderate Temperature Should Be
Maintained-Proper Care Very
Important.
By ]. S. Cook, Professor Of Ageonomy
West Virginia University.

A great many articles have been
published In farm papers during the
last five years on selecting seed corn,
while the Importance of properly
storing 1t during the winter has not
been given enough attention.
To show the Importance of properly
storing seed corn during the winter,
will give you the information OBJ
tanned on this question by the state
experiment station of one Of the lead
Ing corn states. In March Of 1911, a
letter was sent to a well-known corn
grower In each county of the state,
requesting that they send sample Of
their seed corn that they intended to
plant to the experiment station to be
tested. This request was complied
with by most of the farmers receiving
letters, and after terminating the corn
1t was found that the average per cent
OF termination was very near 70. The
highest per cent Of termination was
80, there being two samples reaching
that mark. The period of germination

YOUNG MEN TO VOTE.
Governor Believes They VIII XIII Pro.
hibltion Law.

Augusta, Me.-Gov. Plaisted, Of
Maine, in recent interview, declared
that nine-tenths of the young mon Of
Maine will vote at the coming election
ito have the prohibition amendment
taken out Of the constitution OF that
state. "The young men Of Maine want
something else to think Of except the
rum question" said the governor
Maine Is q state Of great and mag
nfficent undeveloped resources, and
tho time Is at hand when the young
men OF the state are going to de-
velop these resources, but first they
desire to get this hypocrisy Of the or.
ganic law Of Maine out Of the way.
Maine, / believe, Is entering upon a
new era. We want to be rid OF this
eternal liquor question, and / feel that
the time is now at hand when the vo-
ters OF Maine will see that 1t Is settled
once for all by having 1t taken from
the constitution, for they are tired Of
trifing with the subject Personally,
do not favor county option. That
would still mean too unwieldy subject
to handle. I prefer the town option
plan. Under this latter system tho
people Of Maine would really have
self-government and the people could
then deal with the problem as 1t seem
ed the most desirable In their own To-
calities. When these things come TO
pass Maine will cease to be state
which is ridiculed because she has
laws which are openly violated every
day in the year."

is one.

from tie stalk, when ripe, just before
cutting, and stored in a Well-ventilated
room, where the temperature ranged
during the winter from 40 to 70 de.

spacing the nails three and one-half
inches apart. The ears Of corn were
thrust on these nails in the butt end

can be stored on such a device. A
