THANKSGIVING :! 1 n IS

rTis well to herk. back now and then

Tris well to hfrk, back now and then to the old ys and the old ways Thanksgfying day in the begin
 ming was . New England holiday It is only of late years that 1t has been domes,icated in the rest of the country and made u federal observance.
 Ex-Secretary of the Navy John D Long in q reminiscent article told how the Pilgrims celebrated it He wrote:
 A man must have been born in s New England village more than gen eration ago to know the full old tin, flavor of Thanksgiving day. Then was the day of the 'oid home."- Then fam. lies were large. Flocks of boys and girls were in evidence and filled the half dozen or more scattered school houses which since then have become 50 depopIlated that most of them nave been abandoned. and the vastly di. minishei number of successors Of for. mer crowds of scholars are cayted back and forth in a single omnibus to some more pretentious structure Ut the vii. laEe center. Then holiliys were rare New Years day apd Wa6hingtSp's birthday and even Christmas sthi un der the blight of the old Plritin pro test. were for the most part unobserv ed. Fast day had no signi6capce in the way of It's recognition. except pos. sibly sermon or. if the snow was o, the ground. game of ball. The Fourth of July waSS an outdoor cele. bration, often as quiet as Sunday after the old swivel had been fired on at sunrise.
 The crowniny festival of the year was Thanksyiv1ng-the festival of the tireside- when tlie apples and pump kins had been gathered. when the ear ly sndwnakes had fallen and when grandfather and grandmother and Un. cle Isaac and Aunt Betsy were invited to dinner. and any boy who had stray ed away to an occupation elsewhers came back with tine appetite of l hound and burst In at the kitchen door "NN shoul o hu Sot tue heaIty nOme greeting. It was. Hello. mother'- nobody then said ''mamma"-and Well. if that ain't you. sam!'' Then the beef critter' had been killed and his quarters stored for the winters only supply of fresh meat. The hog that had grunted all summer in his pen and grown fat had gone under the butchers knife: souse and sausage had sent their arpetlzirg odor through the house. and the pork barrel was full "Mother" and "the girls'-there were no seryants-for. days previous had been making marvellous constructions of mince and apple and pumpkin pies The turkey Hankcd one end of the ta- ble and a huge chicken pie the other.

that reason . military blunder can not come from lack of cooperation, while in the case of the allies, there are four or i've great leading powers with as many different independens Iipr stas Ta ss .sses ...,.ss |,
 s Ppeybrt ltfapEe t9 the Ky SSis,ss Sss sss sns HlslS sS4ss S.pssssstks the allied co% anders to make war plans and to make recommendations to the respective governments. The campaigns except those in France during the past summer. have always seemed to lack the essential element of coordination.
 There is surprise that Italy was not prepared to meet the enemy's blows in view of the natural advantages of de- fense. It develops that the weakness is not in men, but in materials. The Italians did not have sufficient coal. food, heavy guns or other supplies necessary to ward off the organized attacks of the Teutons. The reason assigned for this Is tbat ltaly's part in the war was underestimated until a few months ago. when Cadorna swept down toward Trieste. and thep came the Austro-German ofensiye be- fore the Italians could be supplied wfth their recognized needs.
 Fortunately. the forthcoming allied conference will take up this vital question of coordination of effort. Bonar Law announced in the British house of commons this week that the conference would be devoted mainly to military questions, rather than to peace aims ar kindred issues, and 1t admitted that such action is made more timely as a result of the Italian setback. The United States and all the other allies will be represented at this conference.
 The difficulty of the allies. which consists of nations scattered turnout the world, in organizing for perfect teamwork. Is apparent, but 1t is only by teamwork that the war can be won with the least sacrifice, and by get ting together now plans can be laid for a decisive spring and summer campaign.

EAT ONE OUNCE LESS MEAT
A DAY.

The United States Food Admins
tration issues the following:
One year country of rich
lands, plenty Of food, and con-
tented people. The next a desolate
waste with starvation rising from
1t. That is Belgium, part Of
France, and thousands of miles of
other country--our allies country.
Since the war began 100000
meat animals of our allies have been
slaughtered because there was no
feed for them in the war-torn fields.
Neither are there men to grow feed
on the lands that have not been
ruined. The men are waging war.
The Allies look to America for
help. They must have meat in ev-
embarrassing quantities. The men
who are fighting for you and me
must have meat end lots of it.
We are going to send them that
meat, you and l, by the million of
pounds.
All we have got to do is to eat
one ounce less-one cubic inch
less-of meat day. This, multi
piled by 100,0OO,ooO, will make
good the need.

YANKEES WILL TRADE

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 28.-An,
: having fears that the CONNER
al supremacy of the United
.ates will be contested at the end
the worlds war, may cast aside
.eir feeling of anxiety, for the
ankee trader is as much alive to-
ay as he was when the good old
alllng vessel made the American
lag welcome in every port of the
!orld. It is demonstrated at Cam
i'lke every day so thoroughly that
one must feel for the allies with
whom the Yankee must be buddies
to for the next few years, or until
the war is ended. BY this time the
soldiers Of the Stars and Stripes
will have the men of the allied ma
lions subjugated commercially, In
sitting in them a wholesome respect
for the American as trader su-
preme.
1t IS just human nature with the
Yankee to trade, and there is no
North and no South in the United
States in this respect. Every vi
cinity produces its Lavid Harum,
and Camp Pike seems to have 30
600 of them. If you can't drive a
hard bargain, and both prosper out
of the trade, it is good advice to re-
main out of Camp Pike transac-
ton
Even the Y. M. C. A. men at
Camp Pike indulge in the practice,
and they trade in human talent.
There is nothing in this that bor-
ders on slavery, though they do
bargain for the possession of the
body and talents of the individual
for the time being
Suppose the Y. NJ. C. A. secretary
has a picture film on his hands that
has been shown until it is no long
er an attraction in the vicinity in
which his house is located, does he
pack it up and send it on to some
other camp. No indeed, he uses it
for trading material. He puts it un-
der his arm and walks through the
camp seeking highest bidder. He
is offered another film in exchange
by another Y. NJ. C. A. secretary,
but that will not fill the bill. His
men have seen pictures enough for
the present, and he wants something
that can dance, sing or lecture. He
wants something that is "on the
hoof.' The chances are that this
will be found in the negro section,
and hither must secretaries wend
their way when they want change.
A company Of negro soldiers IS
found that has a way of showing
the pictures, or better still, they are
offered the negro Y M. C. A. This
organization always has talent to
trade. 1t can conjure up coon
shouters, double quartette, min
strel men, and jubilee singers as
though by magic. The secretary
hackles until he gets big measure
and then leaves with an agreement

TAKE DOWN YOUR BATTERED
FLAGS
BY Pauline Worth Hamlin
of The Vigilantes

All over this country there are
now flying faded, tattered flags.
If we do not respect The Flag
ourselves whom shall we expect to
respect it?
The stars and stripes are our en-
blem,. Shall it appear that we con-
slider dirt and tatters symbolic of
our country? Never! Our Flag
should be as white as the SHOWS, as
blue as the skies, as red as our blood
and as whole as our hearts. Lets
it be truly symbolic and when flag
becomes bedraggled take it down.
If you cannot put up another be hap
py in the consciousness that you no.
nor it far more by not flying it at
all than by flying it when it is fade
ragged and dirty.

which has come to our attention which

his craft. 1t was for this reason that
the holders delegation at the last
