THE THANKSGIVING SPIRIT

The president and the governors have sent out
Thanksgiving proclamatdns and called attention to
the blessings from the hand Of the Lord for which
we ought to be thankful. Amen and again amen!
We endorse all the proclamations, for 1t is well to
stop once in while and count blessings.
When the sun is hid for day are prone
to get peGsimstic and We forget that the
ever did shine and to lose faith in its
shining again. In year of drouth or flood,
other natural devastation OF mans feeble efforts
TO get ahead We forget that after all we have got
much to he thankful for.
Render to God all tn ethanks you see fit to give
but do not forget Gods mortal agents-mere man.
God moves in mysterious way, His wonders to
perform. His work is carried on by mortals where
mortals can do the work. Let us render thanks to
those of earth who have given this old world
boost upward and ahead
Perhaps your greatest blessing came from a
neighbor-some real, unselhsh kindness shown that
you have not thanked him for yet. Perhaps a word
from one Of your papers magazines has done
more to put you on your feet than anything else
Maybe It was some blunder that gave you the great.
est good.
Do not spend all of your time on your knees
with eyes devouty shut thanking God for your
blessings. Get up and acknowledge to your fellow
men that they too have been great factor in your
prosperity happiness

THANKSGIVING DAY

Some festivals are simply days Of recreation, but
there are others that should always Keep their DIS
tinc characteristics, barking back to their origin
Such surely are the two national holidays, the 4th
of JuIy and THANKSGIVING Day This latter has its
cousinshio with the autumn feast that has been
known to all peoples in all times After the gath
ering of the crops the Hebrews had the Feast of
Tabernacles and the Greeks, the Romans ana the
Britains held high celebration For us Americans
our harvest day has especial value in that It re-
calls definitely our beginnings; the hard days OF the
settlers when only the crops grown In the small
plantations along the Atlantic coast stood between
them and starvation. That was our Heroic Age,
and when we have let its sacrifices and Its spirit
slip from our memory we have lost that which no
pride in later successes can make up.

THE TURKEYS WILL
1t was in the chill November
Near Thanksgiving pray remember,
And the turkeys wandered, sad with pensive bill;
For they missed the pompous gobbler,
And were feeling mighty somber.
As they slowly gathered round to hear his WILL
Hear we ALL" the mssive started,
Written by the dear departed;
Take we heed unto these words have to say
When men bring CHOICE bits to feed you,
And begin to pet and praise you
Then the time has come for you to run away
"In the neck you'll surely get It
All too late you will regret it,
II your vanity persuades you there to stay;
You'll inevitably be bled,
And be cut up when you're dead
And be situated as am today.
Fsr1
IN the soup my journeys ended,
And my joints asunder rended,
For friends who came the day to celebrate;
So be thankful it's worse" ..,.
Ran the will in accents terse
But bear in mind it's rash to hesitate.
,a&
while you're still alive and kicking,
Rustic off to better picking,
And profit by my melancholy wall;
Else you too will soon be leaving,
And your relatives be greving,
Ger the outcome of a sangunary tale"

Our High school basketball team
left for Preston today on the noon
train to play the Oneida Stake Acad-
envy tonight. 1t is hoped that they
will be able to make a good showing
against their opponents. The Acad-
envy team is reported to be much
heavier than our local team but we
feel that by playing with larger
teams we will strengthen our own
team because they can take some
good pointers from such worthy oppo-
nents as the Oneida Stake Academy.
The student body association gave
them a rousing reception prior to
their departure and accompanied them
to the train. A number Of students
went to Preston with the team.

OUR THANKSGIVING

Let us give thanks that have earned our bread
Our daily bread-and robbed man thereby;
Let us give thanks that many mouths fed. a.
Fed with our corn and wheat and oats and rye;
Let us give thanks for strength to do work.
That work which makes the desert the rose
Which brings the harvest up from muck and murk
Making poem Of earth's dullest prose;
For and rain by which this beauty grows,
Let us give thanks!
Let give thanks for minds that know repose.
Repose that comes to honest weariness;
Let us give thanks for sleep the worker knows,
Who tolls his best-and brings soul distress;
For hearts linfretted and for horny hands,
For sinews great and calm, unfearing eyes,
For good brown earth and wide and fecund lands,
For science making more wise,
For hearth and home and all the rest prize,
Let us give thanks!
For peace OF soul-which money never buys,
For freedom in a world which is not Free
For Gods outdoors and overarchng Skies
For all the seasons changing mystery,
For life and love that comes to me and thee,
Let give thanks!
-Berton Braey.

PARK HEN BREAKS RECORD
Lays a SIS Egg, and Snyder
Fears It, Too, May Be Smashed.

The goose that laid the golden egg

Central Park menagerie, if a sugSes-
ton Of park employe were carried out

The suggestion was to frame IT and
send Il to the American Museum OF

II was learned that Snyder was in a
state of perturbation as TO the disposal
of an egg laid by hen whose settings
can command a price of 50.
The hen is one of half dozen i'm
ported from Ireland by a chicken
fancier some time ago and presented 10
the menagere. Unexpectedly it laid an
egg. In times past monkeys have oeen
given eggs laid by commoner fowls.
