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

I'm NEW England the saying is
christmas to the young, Thanks
i giving to the DID,"
The saying, like most bits of
felix lore, says the Delineator, has its
roots In a common fact Of living. Youth
does not tend toward gratitude. 1t does
not tend toward intfospection. 1t does
not tend toward sense of proportion.
And 1t 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 1t more than those of the
well-to-do. The reason Is obvious.
Thanksgiving day to a child is feast
day, and half the joy of a 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 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 its breastbone, fa-
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 singe
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 stufiing, 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
nrSt 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 q schoolteacher
to dinner, and always some bachelor
of the neighborhood. And always some
dear nelghbor or friend, or once, grand
mother, and once, little sister, had died
during the year, and one noticed 1t
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-
tunity 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
giving day.

THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAMATION
MADE BY PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, D. G. President Will
son Saturday formally, by proclama-
tion, designated Thursday, November
80, as Thanksgiving Day. Here fol-
lows the Presidents proclamation:
1T has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God for his many bless
ings and mercies to us and to the Ma
tion.
.The year that has elapsed since we
last observed our day of Thanksgiving
has been rich in blessings to us as a
people, but the whole face of the
world has been darkened by war. In
the midst Of our peace and happiness,
our thoughts dwell with painful dis
quiet upon the struggles and sufferings
of the nations at war and of the peo-
pies upon whom war has brought dis
aster without choice or possibility of
escape on their part. We cannot think
of our happiness without thinking Of
their pitiful distress.

A PRAYER.

For the sense of internatlonalism
possessing SO many thoughtful minds,
for the realization that no nation liv-
eth for or by itself, for the vision of
a federated world in all parts of which
there shall be substituted for the
mailed fist the hand Of brother, let
us give thanks.
For God "our help in ages past, our
hope for years to come" for Jesus
Christ, the pivot of human history, the
sure and sufficient revelation of the
Father, forever the Master and the
Savior of mankind, let us give thanks.
Come all ye faithful people, enter
into his gates with thanksgiving and
into his courts with praise. Be thank
full unto him and bless his name, for
Jehovah Is great God and his loving
kindness endureth forever.-Exchange

What's. that7 You bet I'm thankful; don,
you SEQ this two-bit smilef
Why. things for me look brighter than they
have for quite while.
OF course, 1t peeved me when my print got
stewed and broke the press
And pied the forms, but can get things
Strengthened up, guess.
That libel suit nigh got my goat; but why
should repine3
! haven't got cent. and so they can't col
iect 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 ityct;
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.

BLESSED ABOVE ALL
Special Reasons Why Americans
Should Be Grateful to God
This Year.

YF CUSTOM had not dictated nor
time hallowed the setting aside Of
| a day for national recognition
of Divine blessings, the situation
in the world today would Of itself have
instinctively brought about the senti-
ments in the hearts Of Americans suit
ed to the spirit Of thankfulness.
Yet thee Is no occasion to resort to
the elements of contrast afforded by
the pictures presented here and In
other countries at this time. Our peo-
pie are determined to assert the ma
tion's rights as operative at all times,
and desirous of defending them as a
part of the heritage received from an
cestors who feared God, but had scant
respect for persons or nations when
these ignored the principles of liberty
for which they were unyieldingly set
in defense.
It is beyond and outside Of the field
Of contrast that the country bows to-
day in acknowledgment of a Provi-
dence that has preserved 1t from the
rayageS Of war and given 1t to partake
richly of every form Of prosperity for
which a people might justly yearn.
The crops are excellent. Labor In
practically every field Of endeavor Is
giving employment to the many. The
distribution Of material wealth is thus
being effected in such manner that
plenty abounds, and no table SO poor
that 1t cannot present evidences Of
good cheer on this festive occasion.
Mingled, nevertheless, with the con-
sciousness of our own happy state
must be the SOLDERING sentiments that
take cognizance Of far other conditions
elsewhere. For the war-worn nations
1t is wished that they may soon find
an honorable way back to permanent
peace. AS these sentiments take form
and logical order in our own minds,
they cannot but suggest our own re-
sponsibilities, present and future. And
among these the necessity Of being pre-
pared to assert and defend the princi-
pies for which we stand and to the
preservation Of which thus far in our
political history we are, under the
goodness of God, indebted for our
present peace and prosperity, must
have Its recognized place.

.Tong War Feared al Salem.

Salem, Or. = Fear that the hold-up
and robbery early Saturday of Wong
Ling, local Chinese merchant, by two
masked Chinese, may precipitate a
tong war here. led the police to take
precaution against trouble in the Ori-
entail quarter. Wong Ling was forced
to open his safe by the masked Chinese
who were armed with revolvers. They
took $500 and after tying their victim
to his bed and gagging him, disap-
peared. An hour later he loosened the
gag and summoned help. The police
arrested Wong Sing and Ching Bing.

tional thanksgiving and prayer and
urge and advise the people to resort to
their several places Of worship on
that day to render thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings Of peace and un-
broken prosperity which he has be-
slowed upon our beloved country in
such unstinted measure.
"And / also urge and suggest our
duty, in this, our day of peace and
abundance, to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken peoples Of the world,
upon whom the curse and terror of war
has so pitilessly fallen and to contrib
ute out Of our abundant means to the
relief Of their sufferings.
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle of the nations than by
contributing out of their abundance to
the relief Of the suffering which war
has brought in its train.
In witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
