There were many FIRST settlers' Of
the name on these shores and at
tempts to prove kinshlp between them
all has proved fruitless. One Of the
earliest of them all was George Hub
bard. who was born in 1891, and came
from Glastonbury and settled in Mid
dletown, Conn, where he died in 1854.
He was q member OF the first court
Of the colony, married Elizabeth Watts
and had eight children. six OF whom
were sons From four OF these sons
Joseph, John, Samuel and George, a
very large number Of those who bear
the name in this country today are
descended. Joseph settled in Middle
town. Conn. the home Of his father,
Johns descendants are found in New
York and Hatfield, Mass, SamuePs
descendants are in Vermont and else
where and George, who married Eliza
beth Hartford, left sons whose de-
scendants are in Illinois and New
York state.
Another settler in New England was
Edmund Hubbard Of bingham. Eng
land, who settled first in Charleston
and then in bingham, Mass, arriving
on these shores in 1888. He was a
deputy Of the general court His de-
scendants are widespread today. A

wich. Mass. established another fam
ily Of the name. He was graduated
from Cambridge university. England,
and sailed to this country in the De-
fence. His wife's name was Judith.

Illinois and other western states

old England 1t belongs to the Hubbard

as no It was used in this country
by William Hubbard, OF New York,

Answers to CORRESPONDENTS

Can you give me some information
concerning the family OF Fish," writes
l. B. c. My grandfather's name was
Samuel. his fathers name was Pre-
served. and in turn his fathers name
was Artemas. Is there any connec-
ton between this family and the fam
ily OF Hamilton Fish. Of New York ?'
This answer must be answered in
the negative for there seems to be no
kinshfp between the founder of the
Hamilton Fish family and the family
TO which Preserved Fish belonged. At
least these two families trace their
origin to two distinct first founders"
and so far as records show there was
no relationship between them

Despite popular opinion to the con
trary. Thanksgiving day as an instl-
tuition is not peculiarly American.
For history shows that all ancient mae
lions used TO celebrate some feast Of a
Thanksgiving nature, while most Of the
tribes Of our American Indians had a
big gathering and a harvest feast
years before the white man ever set
foot on the shores Of the new world.
By the Greeks and Romans the fes-
tival days in honor Of the goddess Ct
agriculture were times Of rustic sport.
. Of professions through the fields and
the decorating Of the home with fruits
and flowers. The people OF Egypt en-
joyed a time Of feastlng after gather
ing in their harvests and laid the
fruits Of the year On the altar Of the
Goddess Isis.

DO IT NOW, GOOD WATcHW0RD
Habit Of Procrastination Has Never
Yet Failed to Bring Train of
Evils In Its Wake.

Sometime" is a useful word that is
often overworked, remarks the Mil
waukee Journal. One says, Sometime
will do it," but the time never comes.
Sometime is no time when kind deed
is to be done. Sometime is no time
when a definite task is to be done.
A thing put off beyond its rightful
time encroaehes on time allotted by
right to other duties. One may think
he is gaining time by postponing the
duty of the hour. In fact, he Is vast
ing time. Tomorrow" and ever "to-
morrow" has been the ruin of many.
Do now the thing that should be done
now. Have you had a quarrel, and are
you ready for reconciliation? Do not
postpone it. The other person may get
hardened in his views and become un-
willing to be reconciled. He may die
and leave to you a lasting regret that
you had not made friends. Would you
help someone? Do not wait till help
is past being help. Put off till ito
morrow" mending the fence, and your
neighbours cattle will have found the
weak place and made havoc with your
grain. Put off paying your insurance,
and perhaps fire will destroy ~all
you have. Debts do not grow less by
postponing payment. do it now" is a
good watchword. Say the kind word,
do the kind deed, perform the duty OF
the hour.

THHIS Is the week Of Thanksgiving.
INhnnirarrivinn dnu L. an Amarf.

THIS Is the week Of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day is an Ameri-
can custom started by the Pill
grims who landed on the new
continent and faced hardships which
few can realize who are reared in
the wealth and luxury Of the land to-
day.
The season had been a hard one.
Many had died and the prospect Of
starvation during the cold winter with
its Ice and snow doomed large. So,
when the harvest yielded enough to
keep them until another season would
produce the necessities of life, they
met that last Thursday In November
In year 1921, and gave thanks to their
God, who had remembered them.
Thankfulness is usually in inverse
ratio to the value of the thing for
which we give thanks. This is no dis
arrangement OF the things we are CRATE
full for: but humanity does not think
of thanks until 1t has felt the terrors
of distress.
The rich who live in luxury and ease

thanks are but formal expressions Of
meaningless words. How can words
mean anything when one has not felt
the things which make for thankful
ness7
But the poverty stricken who have
faced starvation pour out thanks from
their humble hearts for the things
that have saved their lives.
Those who live In gorgeous homes
with comfortable freplaces do not
think of thanks. But those who live
in the little hovel with big cracks In
the walls and crevices about the doors
and windows and without fuel. give
thanks for the comfort Of fire.
We DO not prize health until we have

Daring Commander of Moewe
Killed Fighting in France

London. Oct. Count Won Dohna-
Schlodien, commander of the German
cruiser Moewe, has been killed in
France, according to a Milan dispatch
to the Chronicle. He was in command
of a battalion of the Thirty-fifth in
fantry regiment.
dispatch from the British front
in France on October stated that
among prisoenrs taken by the British
were sailors from the Second German
naval division. These sailors were said
to have been rushed to the Somme
front from Belgium, where for two
years they had been guarding the
coast with big naval guns.
The German cruiser Moewe escaped
from the British blockade some time
toward the end of 1915 and for several
months successfully raided allied ships,
capturing or sinking fifteen steamers.
On February /, 1915, the British
steamer Appam arrived in Hampton
roads with a German prize crew from
the Moewe on board. Her arrival
caused a profound sensation, since 1t
was the first intimation the German
commerce raider was again on the
high seas. On March 6 the Moewe
concluded her exploits by running the
British blockade for a second time and
safely reached a German port.
