The Old Time Spirit
Of Thanksgiving

The old time spirit Of Thanksgiving
"Ah, those were good old daysr This
with reminiscent sadness. If there was
not lurking sentiment for the splep-
dor Of good fellowship, for the charm
of simplicity and the peace that comes
from the contented heart that marked
the old time Thanksgiving, there would
be no regret for the good old days that
are gone. But why can't they be con-
jured back again that we might cher
ish the generous spirit of that house
hold festival?
It is the character Of the day that
we would have back again-the after
math of the harvest, with its spirit of
joyOusness, the bounteous feast gath
ering together the family, making sa-
cred the beauty of home ties.
In old New England hustle of prep
aratiOn began long before the appoint
ed day. The turkey, strutting in
naughty disregard of his fate, was
watched with eager eyes and fed with
liberal care. The pumpkins were gath
cred and lay with faces Upturned to
the sun. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, raj
sins and citron were heaped in plenty
upon the pantry shelf. And within

ING DINNER.
the house was aglow in joyful antici-
patton Of the coming guests-a true
hospitality, not so elaborate as it was
bOuntiful and not so luxurious as
healthful, but replete with rare kind
liness and grace.
And when the feast was over and
the long afternoon of sport and games
was spent and the shadows of evening
closed round the great assemblage
crowded about the huge fireplace how
gayly the popcorn spluttered, how
clear was the cider passed around!
Hearts overlooking with jollity and
gratitude burst into song
All, on Thanksgiving day, when from east
and from west,
From north and from south, come the
pilgrim and guest;
When the gray haired New Highlander
sees round his board
The old broken links of affection restored !;
When the care wearied man seeks his
mother once more
And the worn matron smiles where the
girl smiled before!
This was the spirit Of old time
Thanksgiving.

For Boys and Girls.

Boys and girls will want the
$4,000 Installment book. Even
if they have to work very hard for
the money, the habit Of saving will
be a most valuable one and they
will start the foundation Of their
future independence. Boys and
girls urge your parents to help you
in starting toward the $4,000 goal,
or better, plan to earn the money
yourselves. Think what this mon
ely would mean to you in the future.
Perhaps it would help in your
college education or be the founda-
ton even of your future fol- tune.
Andrew Carnegie, you know, was
a poor boy who saved his money.

The $4,000 Plan
For Fathers and Mothers

The Installment Book plan is for
fathers and mothers. Why? Be-
cause father and mother know the
value of having money in the bank.
They appreciate the necessity Of
having a bank account which is

you know how necessary it is that
