THE Times last Wednesday morn ing said that "Holland has served notice upon Germany that unless the German troops are withdrawn from the Dutch frontier, war will be declared against the Teutons." Inasmuch as the Hollanders are Teutons as well as the Germans, It would seem, from the Times, that the former people are to declare war partially against themselves.

PILGRIMS THANKSGIVING.

Turkey Figured In the Menu When
They Had Things In Good Plenty"
Governor Bradford describes the first
Thanksgiving. of the pilgrims in Amer
lea:
'They thc pilgrim %colonists) now
began to gather the small harvest they
had and to fit their dwellings, against
winter. all being we'll recovered in
health. and had all things in good plen-
tN. Some were employed in affairs
abroad; others exercised in fishing
about bass. cod and other fish, OF which
they took good store, of which every
family had their portion. All summer
there was no waste. Now began to
come in store of fowl as winter ap-
preached, Of which this place did
abound when they came first. and be
side waterfowl there was great store
of wild turkeys, Of which they took
many. beside vcnison. etc. Beside.
they had about a peck of meal to a per
son, or now since harvest, Indian corn
to that proportion"
On Dec. II, 1921. Edward Winslow
wrote the following description Of the
Thanksgiving to a friend in England:
Our harvest being gotten in. our
governor sent four men on fowling, so
that we might aitr. u special name
rejoice together after we had gathered
the fruit Of our lnbors. They killed as
much fowl as. with Il little help beside.
served the company almost Il week.
Amongst other recreatiOns we eXer-
cised u arms, many OF the Indians
coming among lis, and among the rest
Massasoit, their greatest king. with
some ninety men, whom we entertained
and Toasted three days. They killed
five deer. which they bestowed on our
governor and the captain (AIiles Stan
dish, Il Roman Catholic) and others.
Although it be not always so plentiful
as it was at this time with us. yet by
the goodness of God we are sc far
from want that we often wish you
(were) %partakers Of u plenty
From other sources it is learned that
besides the exercises with arms that
Winslow mentioned there were athletic
contests. No doubt the pilgrims played
stool ball. an old form Of croquet, and
pitch the bar. which Bradford named in
his journal. There appears no evidence
of special religious services having
been held. The pilgrims had daily
prayers before breakfast. In this serv-
ice and in the temper of rejoicing that
ran through their Thanksgiving they
voiced their gratitude.

The new home, handsome and COM
modious. progressed rapidly and was
nearly finished when Paul and Mary
came home in June. Arthur's wife
and little girl came with them. She
and Mary were given the task of fur
nishing the new house. and their taste
and ability to buy well brought forth
many praises from the parents.
In the old home the rooms were so
few and small that many pieces of
furniture and carpets were left. Give
an idea. Anna" Mary said to her sis,
ter-in-law. ''if papa and mamma will
let me carry it out. The Dom are
really pretty and cozy. and I'll fit it

Anna clapped her hands with Joy.
"a splendid idea, Mary! Fence the
yard IN smaller, only leave it to slope
to the river. Your launch and row
boat, the fishing and colored sand
caves will give lots of recreation. and
you're so near town that boat eXcur
sions may be taken in too. Oh, do
hurry and write your ad.!"
Her parents agreed to the plan, and
the old house was left with everything
necessary, and in two weeks a family
from the city was comfortably located
for the summer. They were so de
lighted that they asked Mary to put
up two tents in the yard, and two
more families came. They were PEG.
pie of wealth and culture and enjoyed
fully the comforts and privileges of
their summer outing. The women and
children acquired plenty Of sunburn
and freckles. and the men fshed and
lived on the river the greater part OF
the day.

and when he had graduated had gone
into a prosperous business With his
