The edifice cost over $1,000 and the

Work of County Agriculturist

Probably the most important event in
county agent affairs last week was the
organization of the cooperative hay
marketing association at Emmett.
Emmett is one of the most important
marketing centers in the county, which
fact, together with the interest the peo-
pie are showing in the subject of mar
keting, makes the prospects for sue
cessful organization in that locality
very bright. The following officers
and directors were elected President
John McInerney; sec-treas.. Henry v.
Breen; board of directors, Dan'l FOLEY,
John Carney, William Webb, John
Cowhey and John Monahan. The Of
ficers and directors will draft consti-
tuition and set of bylaws, and these
will be submitted for adoption at a
later meeting Of the membership.
Cooperation was also discussed at
the meeting of the China Farmers
Club on Wednesday. The members of
this club were very much interested in
the subject, especially in regard to the
Milk Producers Organization, and the
indications are that they will receive a
substantial increase in membership
from that locality.
A portion of Monday was required
investigating sickness with horses in
Columbus township. Samples of hay
and grain that were being fed were
collected and sent to the Agri-
cultural college. to ascertain whether
poisonous plants or seeds were present.
The Department of Botany reported
that no injurious substances were
found which would in any way account
for the trouble. DR.. Clark of the Live
stock sanitary Commission at Lansing
was secured to assist in diagnosing the
trouble, but his opinion has not yet
been learned at this writing.
Thursday was spent In Ira township
for the purpose of dIslnfecting cholera
infected premises, and discovering any
new outbreaks. No further cases have
been reported for several weeks and
the indications are that the scourge
has been wiped out. During the latter
part of the day, visits were made in
Casco township for the purpose OF
making new acquaintance ana extend
ing county agent work to that section.
Office work and correspondence also
claimed time, and Saturday occupied
with trip to my own farm at Three

SomesFacts About Howler, The
Wolf

Howler, the Wolf belongs to a fam
lily against which man has waged re-
lentless war since the beginning of
things. Yet, despite ceaseless hunting
and trapping, he still holds his own in
many places The great Gray or i'm
Der Wolf, which is the largest American
member of the family, once roamed all
over North America. but is now con-
fined largely to the West and Southwest
and to Canada, ranging clear to the
Arctic region where he becomes white.
Howler looks very much like a large
dog Indeed, he Is closely related to the
dog tribe lie is wonderfully keen of
scent and sound of wind. Wolves hunt
mostly in packs, especially when in
pursuit of large game. In this way
they pull down deer, elk, even the lord
ly moose, when they can catch him in
deep snow. On the ranges they raise
havoc with cattle, sheep and even
horses.
Howler's jaws are very wide and
strong, and his method of lighting is
to lump in, slash with his great teeth,
and Jump out again BY nature, he is
coward, but when starving or corner
ed will fight desperately A pack will
attack man if driven to 1t by hunger,
and in Russia this not infrequently
happens. Howler usually mates>.for
life The den is usually in so-called
bad lands where they are not likely to
be disturbed.
They will not hesitate TO kill and de-
your the weak or injured of their own
pack, and in this particular are unlike
and degree lower than other animals,
so the race is always strong and virile.

ORIGIN AND HISTORY
OF THANKSGIVING

plot in the year 1905. The Fifth day
Of November of each year was the
day given to public Thanksgiving un-
til parliament abolished the custom
in 1888.
In determining the origin of Amer
lean Thanksgiving many would go
back to the Bible record of William
White which reads: civilian White
married on ye Bird day of March 1920
to Susannah Tilly, Peregrine White
born on board ye Mayflower in Cape
of Cod Harbor. Some born to Susan
nah White 18th ye six o'clock morn
ing. Next day we met for prayer
and Thanksgiving" This celebration
was in November and on Tuesday
and not on Sunday as had been many
Of the Thanksgiving days.
But the people of this country will
always go back in their minds to the
harvest festival at Plymouth in 1921
for the origin of our present Thanks
giving day, order by Governor Brad
ford in honor Of the bountiful har-
vest that followed the long cold win
ter Of i620-21, during which the lit
tie Plymouth colony lost half of its
settlers from starvation and severe
weather. However this Thanksgiving
day was not for one day only but
for a whole week. 1t was at this
time that the noted Indian chief,
Massasoyt and ninety of his tribe
were entertained at Plymouth for
three days. These Indians went out
and killed five deer and brought
them in to the Governor.

The custom of setting aside a day
of Thanksgiving dates as far back
as the time of Virgil. The Romans
celebrated in honor of victories and
the custom became so popular that
the Romans celebrated even when
they had no victories.
Christian Europe has observed in
some form or other Thanksgiving
day for centuries and the historian
records that Henry V of England
provided an occasion for a public
Thanksgiving in honor of the historic
victory at the battle of Agincourt,
Oct. 25, 14l5.
The people of Holland began their
Thanksgiving festivities Oct. 3, 1575
which was the first anniversary o.
the day when the Spaniards with
drew from their memorable siege Of
that little kingdom, which has stood
out boldly even to this day for itl
independence.
A great Thanksgiving day was
celebrated in commemoration of the
defeat of the Spanish invincible Ar
mada by the English fleet. This was
a great day for all England and the
general Thanksgiving took place on
Nov. 10, 1858, but it may be said that
the first Thanksgiving, in honor Of
the increase and abundance of His
fruits upon the earth" was in 1850,
in the second year of the reign of
Queen Elizabeth.
For more than 200 years England
provided legal Thanksgiving day
in honor Of the trial and conviction
of those engaged in the Gunpowder

was held no Thanksgiving in 1922,
but one was held in July 1923. Then
for more than fifty years Plymouth
failed to hold Thanksgiving day
and the last one was held in that
colony in 1890.
For almost an hundred years after
the last Thanksgiving at Plymouth
there were many occasions for
Thanksgiving, but it was not until the
time of the Revolution that Thanks.
giving became national affair. It
was SO celebrated in 1888 as a
Thanksgiving for peace at the close
of the war. Then there was no
more Thanksgiving days until Wash
ington as the first president of the
United States proclaimed on Oct. 3,
1889, that the 26th. day of Nov. 1889
Thursday, be set aside for day of
national Thanksgiving. Since that
time each year the president of the
United States has proclaimed the
national Thanksgiving dag and Presi-
dent Wilson in this year of our Lord
1916, has asked all the American
people to unite in the usual observ-
ance tomorrow.
