CLOSE TO HEARTS
OF ALL AMERICANS
Particular Reason Why Thanks
giving Day Should Be Gen.
orally Celebrated Here.

@NE of the oldest and best beloved
holidays in the whole year
~ comes to us this week-oldest in
our history because the Puritan
fathers celebrated it when they did
not celebrate Christmas, best beloved
because 1t Is holiday all our own,
typically American through and
celebrate Christmas, New Years and
Easter. Even our Independence day
has It's echo in the French July IA, but
Thanksgiving day IS the entire proper
ty of the American people, and per-
haps this adds the extra luster which
makes it day apart in the heart Of
every citizen.
It's origin was in the farms, where
the harvest season was closed with a
day set aside for the giving of thanks
for the crops just harvested. In real
ity it is national harvest festival, but
its meaning has come to cover more
than Just the harvest season alone.
Now this holiday IS accorded us for
the rendition of thanks for the bless
ings of the entire year.
We find that during the Revolution
the observance of this day for giving
thanks had become so general that
congress recommended each year Il
Thanksgiving day. This was an an
nual occurrence until the end of the
war, when "A day was set aside in
1884, for rendering thanks for the re-
turn of peace. Again in 1889 Wash
ington appointed day Of thanksgiving
for the adoption of the Constitution.
It was in this year also that the Epis.
copal church formally recognized the
right of the civil government to rec
ommend such feast day.
Sympathy is the only charitable gift

SIMPLE RECORD OF
FIRST THANKSGIVING
When the Devout Pilgrims
Showed Their Gratitude for
Their Blessings.
-~UR harvest being gotten in,
SS our governor [William Brad
~ ford1 sent four men on foul

Oo our governor William Brad
~ ford1 sent four men on foul
ing, so that we might after n
more special manner rejoice together
after we had gathered the fruit of our
labors. They four in one day killed as
much fOule as, with little help beside,
served the company almost weeke.
At which time, amongst other recrea-
ton, we exercised our arms, many of
the Indians coming amongst us, ana
among the rest their greatest king,
MassasOit, with some ninety men,
whom for three days we entertained
and feasted, and they went out and
killed fine deer, which they brought
to the plantation and bestowed on our
governor and upon the captain miles
StandSh1 and others"
Such is the historic record of the
first Thanksgiving in Plymouth colony
POI years ago. Less than year before
the Mayhower, bearing its little band
of 102 Pilgrims, anchored off the rock
bound New England coast. Alone In
the boundleSs wilderness of the New
World the heroic PuritanS struggled
through the relentless winter, battling
with snow and wind, savage foes, hun
ger, sickness, and death itself. In
three months their number was almost
one-half of the entire company. But
with the spring time life looked more
kindly upon the exilos; summer smiled
on their corn fields, and autumn
brought abundant harvest. A few little
dwellings had been built, and prepa-
rations had been made for others, max
ing tiny oasis of homes on the desert
of the New World. Then it was that
Governor Bradford issued his first
proclamation, and the Pilgrims and
their Indian guests partook of that
fret and now hiStcsic American feast.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Travellers
from Europe arriving here on British
ships speak of the extreme activity OF
the British patrol boats which they
say swarmed about them during their
journeys through the submarine war
zones Passengers on the Laconia and
the Ascania, which got in yesterday
testified to the fact that armed traw-
lers and other patrol boats accompan-
led them part of the way in relays.
Officers Of the British merchant
marine are more reticent, particularly
in regard to the new and strange
courses they now follow in the eastern
Atlantic in order to avoid the old es-
tablished steamship lanes.
1t is understood that British skip
pers before sailing received sealed
orders from the admiralty which they
open before taken their, noon observa-
lions, and follow the courses laid down
by these orders unless they are
changed by wireless. In this way, it
is said, the British admiralty knows
the approximate location of every mer-
chairman on the high seas.

can Line reached her dock at Hoboken

GARDEN SUPERVISOR,
SuPT. GILES STATES

A garden supervisor is to be added
TO the staff of the Richmond schools
as soon as the board can made suit
able arrangements.
This was announced today by SUI
perintendent Giles.
The board of education has pledged
itself to adopt the recommendation
of the vocational education survey con-
corning home and school gardens with

The recommendation include pro,
visions for one garden supervisor and

Superintendent Giles and the board
desire to have the garden department

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
Injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirel greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get that at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
al lndance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickl. and

appeal to Americans in Germany not
to become alarmed and to conduct
their businesses as usual is contained
in the weekly bulletin of the Ameri-

American business in this country.
The bulletin says:
"The situation which recently de-

to the association and its officers. So
far as our information extends we
could see nothing in the relations be-
tween both countries but frienship,
