THANKSGIVING DAY
LOCAL MARKETS SUPPLY EVERY
THING PALATABLE-WIDE
LUSCIOUS VARIETY.

Tomorrow we are again to return
thanks for a bountiful harvest and
the many other blessings vouchsafed
us during the year. Today a grateful
incense rises to high heaven from
thousands of home affairs dedicated
to the comfort of the inner man.
Following the custom set by the Pill
grim fathers in that early day, in
storm and on the coast of a strange
and bleak land, we eat turkey. With
this, their mainstay and principal of
fering, W. have attached many other
strange and foreign dishes and con-
diments-and habits. Tomorrow we
eat the turkey and indulge the hab-
its-in a few weeks the new year will
find us at the turkey again, but for
swearing the habits-eating crow.
In this the first Thanksgiving fall
ing during the war, we find ourselves
unconfined in the matter of eating
ourselves full of thanks, except by
such restrictions as prices may inn
pose. Instead of being confined to
a menu of wild turkey and such nuts
and roots as the wild wood affords,
we enjoy a bill of fare gathered from
the four corners of the earth, and
fruits and vegetables foreign to the
season. There are spices from the
orient, lemons from the Mediterran-
can, oranges and grapes from the
Italy of America-California. We
have sweet potatoes from the south
and oysters from the east. And the
shops and transportation lines pro-
vide us with onions, cabbage, let
tuce, asparagus, celery, radishes and
other vegetables of normally sum
mer produce, cared for and grown i'm
glass houses maintained for this pur-
pose.
Wal and its rigors have not short
ened our supplies of turkey, that peg
from which all Thanksgiving dinner
plans are hung. The markets afford
an apparently unlimited quantity.
The price is greater, in common with
other foods, whether they be of do
nestle or foreign production. But
even this is not so great as to be pro-
hibitive to the ordinary family, and
the trade in this form of thanksgiv-
ing material is brisk.
We have drifted far from the sim
plicities of the fathers who original
ed the observance of a day for re-
turning thanks, in miles as well as in
manner of observance. They had
starved abjectly in their lonely log
cabins for two awful years. Their
first fruitful year brought forth a
spirit of thankfulness. And with
corn meal, nuts and wild turkey they
ate, then in solemn procession gath
cred at their places of worship to
return thanks for the abundance of
the earth and sea. No oranges from
warmer shores, no summer vege-
tables grown under glass, nor grapes.
They would have looked with sus-
picious fear at a sweet potato or a
grapefruit, and interpret the mean
ing in terms of Indian vile, and pre-
pare to repel another stealthy attack.
