THANKSGIVING AN
ANCIENT HOLIDAY

The idea is prevalent in the United
States that our Thanksgiving is pecu-
liarly an American custom of New Eng
land origin This is true in part oniy.
The general Observance through many
years of a set day on which to give
thanks to Almight God for his blessings
has made the custom distinetively
American; but its origin long antedates
the settlement of the western conti-
mont, and we must look elsewhere for
il. The idea of Thanksgiving day goes
back to remotest antiquity. 1t is a part
of natural religion, and is probably as
cid as the human race. In written rec
oids, we have ample evidence that the
festival was celebrated in connection
with "the fruits of the earthv by the
areient Egyptians, the Jews, the
Greeks and the Romans. Long before
Luther's revolt from Rome in the six
teenth century it had been observed by
the Christians; and after She Reforma-
tion, Thanksgiving days We're in fire.
Guent use by the Protestants, especial
~ those of England
The festival appears early in Jewish
history, and, as it was connected with
the land and its possession, may have
had Canaanitish prototype. Its cele-
bration was annual, and each festival
continued through seven days. At the
beginning "two vessels of silver wei e
carried in a ceremonious manner to
the temple. one full of water, the other
of wine, which were poured at the foot
ef the altar of burnt offerings, always
on the seventh day OF the festival .
Plutarch describes this ceremonial,
which he believed was a feast of Bae-
chus. He SAYS: "The Jews celebrate
two feasts Bacchus. Tn the midst of
the vintage they spread tables. spread
with all manner of fruits. and live in
tabernaeles made especially of palms
and ivy together 4 few dpys
later they kept another festival which
was openly dedicated TO Baeehus, for
they carried boughs of palms in their
hands, with which they went into the
temple, the Levites going before with
instruments of music
Analogous to the Jewish festival and
possibly borrowed from il was that of
the old Greeks. the Thesmorphia. This
was feast 70 Demeter, the goddess of
the harvest 1t lasted nine DAYS and
consisted of sacrifices of the products
Of the soil with oblations of "wine,
milk and honey" Theoeritus refers to
1t in the " Seventh Idyll, y where Sim
ichidas SAYS: "Now," this is our way
TO the Thalysia; for our friends. n
sooth, are making feast to Demeter of
the beautiful robe. offering the first
fruits of their abundance. since for
them in bounteous manner, the goddess
has piled the threshing floor with bar
ley. -

NOTES OF COUNTY
HIGH SCHOOL

Edna Eads entered school this week.
She comes to us from Idaho.
Miss Ohmert and Mr.. Lohr have been
en- the sick list but are back with us
again.
The first rehearsal for the High
school play was held at the school
building Monday evening.
No event in High school athletics
for years has attracted as much atten-
tion as the big foot ball game which
is to take place between our school and
Reno next Saturday. The local team
is not heavy, but should make up in
sIeed what they lack in weight. They
are showing up well in practice and
should give Reno the game of their
life. The field has been measured off
and goal posts set on the new High
school grounds and the squad is prac-
tieing there every afternoon now. They
will play the American game under the
new rules, which promise some inter
esting developments over the old game.
The game is now safe, faster and much
more easily understood. The "open
plays" make it very much better
game to watch and enjoy. Everyone
who enjoys real sport should see the
game. Tickets are on sale at Krenkel
& Bosch s, or they may be had of the
High school students.

M'COWN DEFIES ELK CITYAN
Omaha Trap Shooter Challenges
= Chris Christensen for 7. L.
Coombs Trophy. r
WILL HOLD A MATCH SHOOT

Don c. McCown has formally chai-
lenged Chris Christensen OF Elk City to
shoot for tho I. l.. Coombs challenge
trophy which Christensen now holds. He
has deposited the So required under the
terms of challenge and is waiting for
Christensen's answer
When Christensen accepts, as he must
do, q special shoot win probably be ar
ranged and all shooters invited 20 take
part. An effort wN be made to bring
the match shoot hsfe, although Christen-
sen has the privilege Of naming the place
and time.
Tho I. L. Coombs trophy was donated
by T. l. Coombs In 1906 and was first
captured by Slim severson OF Wisner.
In an effort to bring the trophy to
Omaha five well-known members OF the
local trap shooting fraternity framed a
match between Severson and the five To-
cal men. It was thought that ono out OF
tho quintet could trim up Mr.. Severson,
But the local quintet figured wrong, for
when all was over Mr.. severson was dis
covered beating II back to Wisner with
the trophy tucked under his arm and 81
put up by the local men.
George Rogers held the trophy for q
while. as did Henry Mcdonald. the latter
losing 1t to Christensen in 1908. Since
then II has reposed on Christensen's man
tie unmolested by challengers.
Omaha shooters have decided thai
Christensen should be called upon to de
fend the trophy IL he wishes to keep Il
any longer. and Mccown was the mar
selected to try to bring It to Omaha.
