THANKSGIVING.

Today is the annual day of thanks,
when it is customary for the people of
the United States to partake sumptu
ously Of the good things of the land
and TO give special thanks for the bless
ings of the year The blessings of this
year of grace will be different from
different viewpoints What are looked
upon by some as blessings will be
looked upon by Others in far different
light.
Some will consider a full purse. made
full by the unusual trade growing out
of the European war, matter to give
thanks for; Others. who find their
purse thin and growing thinner every
day because of the part that trade of
the few has played in the high cost of
| living, will not take so rosy a view of
this feature of the season To many
others the festive side of the occasion
can be little less than mockery while
their thoughts must bear continually
upon loved ones in the trenches abroad
or in the hospitals where their loyalty
has sent them; while they are con-
stantly expecting the belated message
that father or brother lies among the
battlefield dead or mother or sister is
among the thousands made homeless
by the march of Mars.
Indeed it will not be festive day
for all even those whose purse might
be able to survive the cost of the Gus
tomary Thanksgiving dinner Of turkey
and trimmings" and it will be q
dreary season, indeed, to those who
combine the handicap of an empty
purse and the grief for things abso-
luteiy needed.
Aside from the extraordinary eondi-
tions brought about by the war there
are reasons for all 10 think long and
seriously of the extraordinary condi-
ditions at home.

Good Showing at Boys Baby Beef Show
More than forty beef animals under
fifteen months old were lined up for
competition in the first Wisconsin
Boys Baby Beef Show, held in Madi-
son last week under the auspices of
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
Association and the College of Agri-
culture. The affair was the roundup
of seven preliminary county fair con
tests but included several animals not
previously exhibited
First position was easily won by
Shorthorn steer raised by Alvin Nor
ley, Baraboo. The winning steer, IA
months old, was splendid example of
early fitted beef, and tipped the beam
at l,05O pounds.
A Shorthorn heifer, entered by Rob
ert Gray OF Milton, was awarded sec
ond position. The animal was a year
ling. weight 900 pounds, and had pre-
viously won first prize at the Janesyilie
fair and second place at the State Fair
this year.
The winner of first money nt the
State Fair was forced into third place
in this show This animal, Hereford
yearling heifer, weighing about 925
pounds, was entered. by Lee Jewell, an
eight-year-old feeder from Mineral
Point. That it did not give the other
winners closer race for first honors
may be partly due 10 the fact that it
had been weaned for more than three
months, while both Of the fay0rtes
were accompanied to the show by
wet nurses
A total Of fifteen cash prizes were
awarded. from $50 on the first animal
TO four dollars on the fifteenth Boys
who did not get place on the premium
list were given all transportation
expenses. Specials were awarded by
leading packers and associations.
