Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving
Day. and as it is legal holiday ii
will be generally observed throughout
the land. In Santa Fe many festivi
ties are scheduled, with turkey, the
national bird, striking feature.
Both the president OF the United
States and the governors of states
appoint" Thanksgiving day as a day
for prayerful thanks for blessings re-
ceiyed throughout the year. The fes-
tivat is in its essence d harvest
thanksgiving, and perhaps owes its
origin to the Pilgrim fathers, as Gov
ernor Bradford first set apart a day
il America for that purpose at Ply
mouth in 1921.
Hence tomorrow will be the 2Slst
time this day OF thanks for mercies is
observed.
In the capital, the day is of unusual
Importance for its observance is
The federal, state and county Offices
are closed throughout the day; the
banks, of course, do not open their
doors; the stores which open for bust
ness close as the noon hour approach
ee so that every employer and EN-
ploye may go home for that turkey
dinner In the various institutions
of learning there are special festivi-
ties and even out at the penitentiary
the idea of punishment is dispelled
tomorrow and is replaced by sun
beams OF ioyousness and freedom.
1t is a great day, smybolic of the
true American spirit.
The festival is really naugurated
tonight by Thanksgiving eve func-
tons as well as other entertainments
