Jack Hunters
Thanksgiving
How He Dined on Thanks
giving Day
By DELLA ELLISON

Jack Hunter. sailor boy. having
come ashore with some companions on
the arrival of his ship after three
years cruise. following sailor customs.
proceeded to blow in all his savings
within a few days.
Now. this was sowing the wind to
reap the whirlwind. for they had all
received permission to go to their
homes to spend Thanksgiving, and.
having spent all his money instead, he
had not the wherewithal to pay for a
ticket on the railroad to anywhere.
"What'll you do, Jack" asked Joe
Baxter. one of his mates-''go back
aboard the ship for the ordinary
Thanksgiving dinner Of salt pork, with
plum duff thrown in for Thanksgiv-
ing. or walk where you are going?"
"1'll not 60 to the SHIP" Jack re-
piled. II don't like the railroads, any
way. They're dangerous. They swing
around the curves in a way to make
an old salt sick, and IL they don't make
him sick they scare him to death,
which is worse. There's no sea room
on a railroad, and when two trains are
comm together head on on the same
track there's no sheerin' off, and
there's no savin' Of life by jumpin' into
the water, for there's nothin' but hard
ground below. No, sir. I want an
open sea for my meanderins. I'm goin'
to walk"
"What you going to do for grub on
the way?'
Reckon I'll f1sh in the streams"
"Fish! You can't eat the measly
little fish that swim in fresh water"
This staggered Jack. He was born
on the ocean. his father having been
captain of schooner, and his knowl-
edge Of the land was very meager. His

parents were both dead, and he had
no brothers or sisters; consequently he
had no reason for going to where bis
mother had lived. There was no one
he cared to see. no one with whom to
eat Thanksgiving dinner after he got
there. He was somewhat discouraged
at the information that fresh water
fish were not eatable, for he could not
think of any way to support himself
on journey except by grub out of the
water. He hesitated whether to try II
or go back on to the ship.
But there was one attraction that de-
cided him to 60 on. During one year

ed with little girl named Margie
What her other name was he didn't
know. Margie was the only being liv.
ing-if. indeed, she did live-who con.
nected him with the past. He longed
to see her just once to ask her II she
remembered playing hide and seek in
the haycocks with him.
So he started out the morning OF
Thanksgiving day to walk to the vii
lage where he had spent this one year
He didn't remember much about the
route. but had been told that he must
proceed in northwesterly direction
Baxter had 25 cents left, which he be
slowed upon Jack. After a discussion
as to how the money had best be
spent 1t was decided that Jack would
need compass even more than food
So they stepped into a shop, bought q
compass, and after farewell hand
shake Jack started on his journey.
Jack soon found that he could get or
better by inquiring the way than by
relying on his compass, for sometimes
the compass would take him across q
bay, and man he met told him how
he could go by road. About noon. get
ting hungry, he stepped into a small
restaurant and traded his compass 70,
a couple of sandwiches. During the
afternoon glimmering of memory
came to him as to the route he passed
over, and here and there a house, a
clump Of trees, a meadow, a bridge
struck him familiarly. About dusk he
came to the schoolhouse where he and
Margie had learned to spell words OF
one and two syllables, had played at
recess and had gone together to their
homes after school let out.

The new eduea- t.onal rate is distributed as fol lows University of Arkansas 1 mill, state normal I mill, and each agricultural school l mill 4 bill has passed the House providing for an increase of the pension levy to 1.75 mill, so there is a chance that the aggregate levy may be increas= ed one-quarter of mill
 The next ten days will demon- strate whether the Legislaturee is equal to the task of bringing order out of the financial chaos. that has been reigning. The members have looked with disfavor upon any proposition calling for the expendi= ture of more money, eontendine that after all it comes out of the pockets of the people, and that they are opposed to an increase in taxes The creation of budget commission, which has been proyid- ed for, will, 1t is believed, in con neetion with the new form of levy, prove beneficial in the future.
 Some of Gov. Robinson plans are being enacted into law notably the creation of the Penitentiafy Com mission, and tie probable passage of the educational rate, the bond issue, and a few others During his short term as governor he has enjoyed very considerable pa tronage, several appointments yet to be made before his retirement He has appointed a new state Board Of Charitable institutions and New University Board, and has still to appoint a State Board of Health, a Penitentiary Commission, several members of the St Francis Levy Board. and possibly a State High way Commission if the Senate agree s with the House to enact the Smith bill
