Thelma Langdon is Thank.
fur That Her Family

Dear Juniors: l thought I would
write about Thanksgiving. We cele-
brate this great feast day the twenty
fifth day of November. My father was
taken sick last March with rheumatism
He was helpless about all the summer.
He had it in all of his limbs and 1t
still is in knee and hip.
When he was able he went to san
itarium at Martinsville. Indiana. His
friends said they did not think he
would live so I am thankful that he
and all Of us are living to be here on
Thanksgiving day.
Thanksgiving day is day that we
should thank God for his kindness to
us and for giving us good crops and
good weather. I like Thanksgiving
day.

Thanksgiving Story
Thanksgiving at
Grandpa's"

Come on Bob, hurry up" shouted
Betty. The children were going to
grandpa's home in the country. 1t was
showing very hard outside and snow
glistened on Betty's shining curls and
excitement shone in the eyes of both
children. They had just returned from
church and were getting ready to go
grandpa's for Thanksgiving. Their
mother, q quiet, patient, woman was
watching them as they shouted and
laughed in glee They were hurrying
to catch the train for the station,
where grandpa would meet them with
the horse and sleigh. They had de-
lightful ride through the snow and
then they saw grandma standing in the
doorway with her face full of welcome
and good cheer and her cupboard full
of cookies for the children. They
romped and played with the dog and
grandpa took them to the barn to look
for many surprises. Then there was
the feast, and such a one that the
table was loaded down with good
things to eat. In the afternoon grand
pa brought their sleds out and then
away to the hills for sliding. AS the
two weary, but happy children dragged
their sleds home that evening Betty
said, Don't you wish papa knew how
happy we are?' 81 think papa is hap
py and knows that We are" answered
Bob softly. Papa had gone to heaven
only little while ago and the children
missed him very much. But they tried
to make their mother happy by being
obedient and kind. AS they sat before
the fire place that night they made a
pretty picture and their mother, watch
ing them said, Don't you think you
ought to be thankful for such happy
day." And the children, kneeling in
the dull glow of the freight said:
Father, in heaven we thank thee"
l am afraid my story will be late
and too long but am sending it any
way.
Yours truly,

Marjory Roth's Composition
- Aunt Polly

Aunt Polly is very old and very
wrinkled. She is lovely old lady
with snow-white hair, blue eyes and
red lips.
She has tiny wrinkled hands which
are never idle.
She crochets, knits, cooks and
sews. Just now she is crocheting q
beautiful lace collar. She has croch
eted lace collars and cuffs, center
pieces, bed spreads and everything
else you could think Of.
She makes the loveliest pies, cakes,
cookies, bread and tarts. They just
melt in your mouth when you try to
eat them. And fried chicken! There
is nothing like Aunt Pollys fried
chicken. You are always eager to go
to her house for dinner.
Aunt Polly generally wears a dark
blue silk dress. She has the loveliest
smile. No matter how sad you are,
when you see Aunt Polly's face you
are instantly smiling with her
She tells the incest stories, all about
when she was little. Sometimes she
tells ghost stories that make you
hair fairly stand on end. The other
day Aunt Polly had a bad cold. You
should have seen her friends flock to
the door asking about her.
But she is all well now. Sometime
you should visit Aunt Polly and see
how nice she Is.
This is one Of my school compost
lions and Aunt Polly is a fictitious
character.

Louise Nelson on a Very
Early Thanksgiving Day

James I of England who was known
as the Fool King of England, tried to
make all his people belong to the
church of England, of which he was
head. Many did not want to belong to
this. church and were called Pur1tans
and Separaters. Many escaped to Hol-
land in which religious liberty could
then be had In Holland they discuss
ed plan for making colony In
America. They decided upon settle
ment near New Amsterdam, New
York; On the twentieth Of July, 1920
this company of people now calling
themselves Pilgrims, set sail from Hol-
land in a boat called the SpeedWeil.
After little time at sea 1t leaked and
was brought to England for repairs.
Once more it leaked and again they
turned back to England. This time II
was pronounced unfit for use so the
Mayfower took it's place. There were
one hundred and two passengers on
the Mayflower. During the voyage one
person died and one was born. On NO.
vember 9 the cry of 'land" was heard
and they landed at Cape Cod after two
months voyage. AS they had planned
to settle on the Hudson they continued
their voyage southwark.
After they had gotten acquainted
with the Indians they planned a
Thanksgiving festival and invited
them At the meal they served all the
wild fruit that could be found besides
the meat that the Pilgrim Fathers
could kill. They also served wild nuts.
On Plymouth rock is written 1920 in
memory OF the Pilgrims.

Not Contain Reservation

To avoid assessment and to clear
the title to lands in Latah county
which it formerly owned, thus giving
the present owners title without re-
striction, the Northern Pacific Railway
company has filed for record with the
auditor and recorder deeds covering g
approximately 5000 acres of land to
which mineral reservations had been
made in the original deeds, quit claim
ing to the present owners all right,
title and interest to any minerals that
might be discovered on such lands in
the future.
This step taken by the railroad COM
pany is the result of a new policy
which has lately been formulated and
hereafter all lands sold by the COM
pany in the future will not be restrict
ed by the deeds calling for mineral res
ervations. The Northern Pacific still
owns valuable lands in Latah county
and other parts of the state and it is
this plan will be follow

KENDRICK, July 31.-(Special.)--
At a meeting Of the Chamber of
| Commerce held last night permanent
committee of seven was appointed to
have full charge of the Kendrick An
nual Fair which will be held Septem-
Der % to 80. The committee is com
posed of the following business men:
j. F. Brown, chairman; Thos. Me
bers are Frank Chamberlain, N. E.
Walker, Joday Long, Hugh Stanton
and Chas. McKecver The committee
will meet next Monday night for the
purpose of appointing subcommittee
and arranging further details of the
fair.
Judging from the way that the bus
mess men and farmers in this section
are taking hold of the fair proposition,
this years fair will be the very best
ever held in this vicinity In addition
to the regular departments of the fair
an educational program will be held
each day. Tuesday Mr.. Brown, chair
man of the committee, will go to Mos
COW, for the purpose of arranging with
the university for speakers. Mr..
Brown plans to attend the Moscow
Chamber of Commerce luncheon while
in Moscow in the interest of the local
fair. Owing to the fine treatment ac-
corded Kendrick at the Moscow fair
last year there is a decidedly friendly
spirit toward the Latah County Fair
here at this time.
The building that is to house the
Kendrick cooperative creamery is al
most completed This is one-story
frame structure 28x40 feet, with con-
crete floors throughout the building.
The machinery for the plant arrived
from the factory yesterday and will be
put in place at once. The plant will
probably be ready for business by the
first of September.

is now on and by Monday harvesting
is expected to be in full blast. The

said to be of brewing quality.

ready to touch for couple of weeks.
Well-known farmers who have been
in town report that the yield looks
much better this year than it has been
in years and that there. is much less
smut in the grain than last year. The
recent heavy rain caused little or no
damage, due to the absence of wind,
though at some few points grain fell

Beginning Monday it is expected
that the 1915 harvest will have been
started with a rush.. The hum f,e

present year.
