Many clergy repeated the story OF the
first Thanksgiving day in America
that of the Pilgrim fathers in 1921. in
acknowledgment of their first harvest
upon the New England shores; then
the first recommendation by Gen.
Washington for a national thanksgiv-
ing in 1889, and finally the story of the
war between the states-the event that
established the national day which 1t
is declared has been sanctified by the
blood of brothers who died not in vain.
for as a recurring observance it was
proclaimed by President Lincoln in
October, 1863. when he fixed the last
Thursday in November as the day for
the observation for national Thanks
giving.

partment has returned from st.
Louis. where he went to look into the

prices. there were number of bidders
from the countries now at war.

a low figure. Rather than take the
risk, they have been ordered into cold
storage for an indefinite period.
