SOME YOUNGSTERS NOT left OUT" ON
THANKSGIVING SCENE AT PUBLIC DIN
NER)
enough to keep any feast in her mind
for day or so.
"Oh. goodie. How soon is it?"
about three weeks
"Oh, that's long time! What shall
we do to get ready?"
"Why. Wen make pies and cookies"
"What elSe?''
"Plum pudding and ice cream"
"And-go ON, mamma, please"
"lSuts and raisins and cranberries."
"But-blt, mamma, do you mean
that Thanksgiving is just nothing but
eating?" came the Mortified rejOinder.
Isn't it too bad that this holiday that
meant SO much to our forefathers al
most 300 years ago is now almost
lust nothing but eating?"
What could the mother do? She
cast around in her mind-a mothers
mind is really more resourceful than
the mind of mere being who is not
mother-for something with which to
glorify Thanksgiving to her child.
OF course she finally dug up the story
Of the sufferings and triumphs Of the
pilgrims. She didn't just read it out
of book to Little Boy. She word
painted that forest and the little log
houses the pilgrim maids and men and
the few queer, sober, hardWork1ng
little children, the great bronzed In
dams and the sunlight that glinted
through the forest and through the
hearts of these pioneer folk when they
realized that God had SO prospered
their hard, hard work that there was
food enough to last them during the
coming winter.
When the mother pictured the log
barns and the rude bins and cells. all
full of grain. Little Boy said. "Oh. I'm
so glad!
$50 were they, son, and so they set
aside a day for their children's chill
dren forever to thank God for all the
good things that grow"
us there enough for everybody
asked Little Boy.
So then mother told him that. al
though there is enough for everybody,
still everybody doesn't get enough. she
told him of all the kind people who try
to help the cleft out ones" on Thanks
giving day. and Little Boy, while they
picked raisins and cleaned currants
and made cooky men, planned one OF
everything for themselves and one for
the cleft out ones"
Thus Little Boy found something in
Thanksgiving besides just eating

CROPS ARE
Above NORMAL
Corn and Potatoes Are the Elk
ceptiOns.
Statistics Show That Present Years
Yield of All Crops Is 1884 Per
Cent of Recent Years Average.


crops this year have been better than
the average, according to the monthly
crop report of the department of agri-
culture, which states that the 1915
Weld is 1884 per cent of the average
yields of recent years.
The crop is poor. The yield per
acre was "A bushels, as compared with
ten-year average of 46.2 bushels. The
October forecast was of yield of 49,
$4,000 bushels, as compared with a
Yield of 50 ,862,000 for 1914. Expressed
in terms of quality, the 1915 crop was
As percent, while the average crop in
ten years has been 81 per cent. "The
crop is especially short and OF poor
quality in the area included in Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and
North Dakota" says the report.
Similar reports are made for buck
wheat. Wisconsin flaXseed is about
up to normal in quality, though some
what short as to quantity.
Potato Crop Under Average.
The states potato crop is not as good
as the average, the yield per acre be-
!
els, while the October forecast indi-
Gates a production of 30,46S,000 BUSH
els against a 1914 production of 3D.
$4,000 bushels, and the crop is of rs
per cent quality, as against ten
year average of SO per cent.
The same may be said of the tobac-
co crop. The yield per acre for 1915
was 1900 pounds, as against a ten
acre average of 1000 pounds. The
October forecast was for a total pro-
duction of 35,O76,OO0 pounds, while in
1914 the production was 53,S0S 900
pounds. The 1915 crop was of 60
per cent quality as against a ten-year
average of so per cent, but if 1915 was
a poor year for some small grains in
Wisconsin, it was good year for the
fruits. The reports on apples, pears,
and cranberries show Improvement
over 1914 both in quantity and quality,
but Wisconsin grapes appear to have
suffered Improvements are shown al
so in the crops of field peas, sugar
beets, oats and barley, while the crop
of wheat and clover seed seems to
have suffered.
The Onion Crop.
While most of the twelve important
onion growing states appear to have
had a smaller crop in 1915 than in
1914, Wisconsin reverses the rule. This
year 1,940 acres were under cultiva-
ton as compared with 1884 acres for
1914. The yield this year was $50
bushels an acre as against 313 in 1914.
The total production was $4,000
bushels as against 433, 1872 last year.
The percentage of the onion crop that
is of storage quality is rs for Wiscon-
sin, record only exceeded by Min
nesota with 81 per cent.
Wisconsin cabbage was better this
year than it was last year, and this
is in keeping with the reports from
the seven other cabbage growing
states. In Wisconsin there were IT,
$50 acres under cultivation as against
1864 in 1914. The yield per acre
was ten tons, as against SO tons in
1914. The total production was 176,-
$50 tons, or nearly onefifth of the to-
tai. Last year the production was $780,
278 tons. The Wisconsin cabbage crop
this year and last was the second
largest in the country, being exceeded
only by that of New York.

SOME FASHION D0NT's.

Don't wear any veil unless you can
wear Il fresh one. and don't yea one
unless you can take time enough tc
arrange it neatly and daintily.
Don't wear more than one ring on
a finger II the finger Is short.
Don't choose a conspicuous style or
color for a frock that must do long
service. An equally smart dark color
viii look far better.
Don't wear white topped boots If
your ankles are large.
Don't imagine that seventeen shades
az br0wn. tan. putty and sand can be
safely worn at the same time. They
clash almost as badly as so many diff.
ferent shades of various colors.
Don't forget that even in this day OF
front closings the back of the frock
must be occasionally looked at Ia .
mirror to make sure that its lines arc
becoming and that 1t is properly ed
justad.
