FOR OLD AND YOUNG
But More Especially for the Old
Is the Season of
Thanksgiving.
YN NEW England the saying is
christmas to the young, Thanks
giving to the old"

IN NEW England the saying is
christmas to the young, Thanks.
/ giving to the old"
The saying, like most bits of
folk lore, says the Delineator, has it's
roots in a common fact of living. Youth
does not tend toward gratitude. 1t does
not tend toward introspection. 1t does
not tend toward sense of proportion.
And it is these tendencies that must
unite to make the thankful heart.
Not that young people do not love
Thanksgiving. They do. And country
children love it more than city chill
dren, and children of servantless fam
lilies love it more than those of the
well-to-do. The reason is obvious.
Thanksgiving day to child is feast
day, and half the joy of feast is in
its preparation.
What simply reared, country bred
grown-up would give up the memory
of Thanksgiving day at home, for all
the present comfort of a French cook
and an elaborate menage?
First, there was the business of the
turkey. A turkey was no ordinary,
every Sunday in the winter bird in
those days. Turkey twice a year was
the rule, on Thanksgiving day and
Christmas; ON New Years day, goose
or duck.
The turkey was chosen anxiously,
while mother poked it's breastbone, IA
| their commented on the length and
color of the pinfeathers. The after
noon before Thanksgiving school al
ways 'let out" early, in time for broth
er to fly into the kitchen and SINCE
the turkey and for sister to break up
the bread crusts carefully saved for
weeks. Mother stuffed the turkey. Sis
ter threaded the darning needle that
sewed in the stutfing, brother carried
the bird to the cellar to await tomor-
rows oven.
Then there were the first cranber-
ries of the season, the first nuts, the
first pumpkin pies.
Thanksgiving day was always cold
and cloudy, and about mid-afternoon,
when one had reached the state of
coma from overeating, it began to
snow.
Mother always asked a schoolteacher
to dinner, and always some bachelor
of the neighborhood. And always some
dear neighbor or friend, or. once, grand
mother, and once, little sister, had died
during the year, and one noticed it
more than ever at the Thanksgiving
| dinner.
After dinner all the women folks and
! the girls gathered in the kitchen to
wash dishes, and the men folks and
the boys went out to look at the
! stock.
1t is for memories like these that
older people are thankful, for these
and other blessings. For the simple.
homely facts of living; for the oppor-
tunfty to serve with hand and mind
those that we love; for happy yester-
days spent with those who loved us
and are gone; for strength to see and
hear and think and work, and for an
occasional bit of leisure in which to
dream; these make our older Thanks

The EDITORS Thanksgiving

What's that3 You bet I'm thankful; don't
you see this two-bit smile9
Why. things for me look brighter than they
have for quite while.
Of course, II peeved me when my print got
stewed and broke the press
Strengthened up, guess.
That libel suit nigh got my goat; but why
should repine7
haven't got cent, and so they can't col
lect the fine;
And then my wife a-leaving me that gave
me quite jar,
But am glad that things amt any worse
than what they are.
My mortgage will fall due next month, but
don't grieve nor fret;
They say they'll sell me out, but then they
haven't done it, yet;
And tho licked seven times today, you'll
never hear me squeak;
I'm still alive and put the little dope sheet
out each week.
These ginks who always kick and squeal,
they ought to have nurse,
I've hit some rocky roads myself, but then
they could be worse;
And so still retain my poise and wear my
two-bit smile,
And things to me look brighter than they
have for quite while.

THE, GREAT PLAINS
SMOOTH, TREELEsS
SANDS AND GRAVELS

The Great plains are smooth, tree
less slopes that extend eastward from
the foot of the Rocky mountains into
central Kansas as well as into adjoin-
ing states on the north and south.
Their western margin has an altitude
of almost 5000 feet near the Rocky
mountains, from which they make
practically continuous descent to an
altitude of 1000 to 2,200 feet in CEN
tral Kansas, where they merge into
rolling prairies. The plains are
trenehed by the relatively shallow val
leys of many rivers and creeks flowing
to the east, but extensive areas of the
remarkably smooth tabular surfaces
remain between these valleys.
The major part of the Great plains
is covered by sands, gravels, and
loans of late Tertiary age (about a
million years old), varying in thick
ness from so to 200 feet in greater
part and in general lying on a rela-
lively smooth surface of the older
rocks. The materials were brought
from the Rocky mountain region by
streams which ran in various courses
across the region, sometimes cutting
valleys but mostly depositing sedi-
ment that they could carry through
to the great rivers on the east. The
process was long continued, and it is
likely also that at times the stream
grades were somewhat less than they
are at present, so that the deposits
were not to any great extent deeply
trenched by small creeks, as they are
now. 1t is known from the fossil bones
found in the deposits that the region
was inhabited by numerous land ami
mails of a sort very different from
those Of the present era. There were
rhinoceroses, camels, three-toed
horses, elephants and bisons of pecu-
liar types, as we'll as a great many
species of smaller animals. At certain
places in the region large numbers of
bones of these strange animals have
been found and dug out, and many of
these bones are now carefully preserv-
ed in museums.-U. S. Geological
Survey.

war Office announces that the French
gained ground last night in the battle
which has been in progress for several
days for possession of Sailly-Saillisel
on the Somme front. The Germans
penetrated French trenches south of
the Somme, but were subsequently
expelled. The statement follows:
'North of the Somme we made prog
ress during the night to the north of
Sailly-Saillisel, as we'll as in the east
ern portion of the village. The enemy
bombarded this entire district violent
ly.
"South of the Somme, after lively
bombardment, the Germans attacked
our trenches southeast of Berny. The
attack was broken up by our fire.
Enemy patrols which succeeded in
gaining footing in some of our ad-
vanced trenches were Immediately
driven out by spirited counter at
tack. We maintained our positions.
"The artillery struggle was especial
ly violent throughout the night in the
Ablaincourt and Gommecourt sectors.
A surprise attack which we carried
out against German trench opposite
Armancourt was entirely successful.
On the remainder of the front there
was intermittent cannonading, which
was more active at Fumin Wood, on
the right bank of the Meuse.
Yesterday lieutenant Heurtaux
brought down his twelfth airplane,
which fell in flames west of Sally
Saillisel. 1t is now confirmed that
Aviator Doulin on Friday felled his
ninth machine, east of Peronne."

CAUSES FOR THANKS
Season Is a Time for All to Re-
member the Blessings of
the Year.


TYTHAT does Thanksgiving mean
AN to you? Does it mean only
wv day of special feasting?
Does it bring to you only the
pleasure of rich foods and elaborate
meals? Or do you remember in the
midst of feasting that it is day for
giving thanks? We should all take
the time from this day, filled with
pleasures, to look back over the past
year and remember all the blessings
for which we have to be thankful.
No matter how much sorrow and
trouble may have to come to us in
the past II months, there have been
many blessings as well if we will stop
to consider them. Perhaps at the
time of trouble we were blinded to the
blessings, but now, if we look back
with clearer judgment, we can see that
they were there all the time, some
times blessings in disguise, but bless
ingS none the less.
We can surely afford to spare from
this whole day of pleasure couple of
hours for silent retroSpection and ap-
probation. Let us each slip away
from the crowd for just a small part
of the day and give ourselves up to
a mental review of the past year, with
special eye to the benefits we have
received. 1t will come as a surprise
to many to see how many the blessings
have been and how comparatively few
the miSfortunes.
There is first of all, health. Those
who have sound health never stop to
be grateful for it, it seems so much
part of them. And yet were these
healthy ones laid on a sick bed for
months at a time they would soon
realize how much of a blessing health
really is. The chronic invalids in their
beds and wheeled chairs appreciate to
the full the blessings of good health.
Let those of US, then, who are well
and strong be thankful for our health.
Then there is love. Those of us who
have the devoted love of a mother or
father, of a sister or brother, of a
child or husband, will do well to send
up an extra pean of thanksgiving for
the blessing Of this love. Only too
often, the only ones who appreciate
the full blessing of love are those
who have lost all earthly ties.
If the family circle about the fes-
tive board is unbroken is not that a
reason for full rejoicing? When so
many fathers, husbands, brothers and
sons are falling on every side in Eu'
ropes inhuman war we should give
thanks with all our hearts that ouI
own dear ones go unharmed.
So each of us will find, if we search
our minds, that we have many bless
ings to be thankful for. 1t is only the
hardened heart which feels no graft
tude. And we should all fill our minds
with love and appreciation on Thanks
giving day, of the great good we have
received in the past and the hope to
be more worthy of it in the future.

MOSBY AND HIS MEN.
TIE Old Warriors Attitude Toward

The late Colonel John S. Mosby diff.

instead of being pleased at being given
a higher designation than he was prop
erly entitled to the comforting of the
higher title was extremely obnoxious
to him." remarked Henry D. Rose of
Norfolk.
"People who thought to please him
by calling him general instead of find
ing favor invoked upon themselves the
resentment of the old partisan chief.
I never was general. SIR l heard
him once say with great warmth to a
young Virginian who thus addressed
him. L am Colonel Mosby, and never
attained any higher rank than colonel.
so please don't call me general
"As brave spirit as ever lived, the
old warrior was full of eccentricities.
One of his peculiarities was his per,
sistent declination to attend any of the
reunions of Mosby's men. He probably
gloried in the fact that these reunions
were held. but no amount of persua-
sion could get him to be present.
"He used occasionally to indulge in
little grim humor regarding the num-
ber of those who attended the reunions.
AS the years went by naturally many
of his old followers would cross to the
great beyond, but curiously enough, &C.
