Season for All to
Magnify Blessings
and Forget Crosses

w re CELEBRATE that great
M holiday, Thanksgiving, at
" this season. In the gay
round of pleasures the day
always brings, perhaps not one of us
will stop a moment and seriously look
back over the past year, now rapidly
drawing to a close. Many of us-in
fact, all of us-should pause moment
and quietly review the past months.
Perhaps these months brought us
many trials, but they also brought US
many blessings. 1t is the blessings we
should itemize and magnify and for
get the crosses. We may sigh dis
contentedly and say, well, last year 1
had many more reasons to be thank
full than have this year." but If we
are fair and honest with ourselves we
will have to admit that, even If
troubles came our way, the blessings
that followed them were far greater
in number.
Who has not read the story of that
first Thanksgiving Day? Fancy a
woman In these times enduring the
hardships and worries those strong
hearted New England pilgrims en-
dured; and what a wonderful lesson
in unselfishness they have handed
down TO us
Argue and elaborate as we will on
our burdens, we know fate has been
good to us. Life is not all sunshine.
If 1t were we would very soon grow
tired of life. Disappointment, set
backs, establishments come to every
one, and we must expect they will
come to us. Indeed, we have no voice
in the matter. They will come to us
as surely as day follows night; but do
we accept them patiently? That is
another story.
Many women look only on the dark
side of life. whats the user" they
say dejectedly. Everything l try to
do turns out a failure" There is a
tiny breath of selfishness here. "I'' is
very prominent in these women's
thoughts. Perhaps If they did some
thing worth while for someone else
their work would be crowned with
success. Doing something for another
has never yet turned out a failure.
There isn't case on record showing
where failure has followed kind deed
done for another. Perhaps this other
did not appreciate the efforts taken In
her behalf, yet the fact remains that
the woman who put herself out TO
make another woman happy expe-
rienced wonderful happiness herself.

SOWS NEED WINTER RATloNS
Proper Nourlshment Of Brood AMI
mails Now Determines Success
of Spring Litters.
BY w. E. J. EDWARDS,
Department Of Animal Husbandry
Michiqan Agricultural College.


East Lansing, Mich.-The near APP
prOach of winter has made the mat
ter of winter rations one Of much con-
Germ TO the man who has brood sows
on his hands, for as every breeder Of
hogs well knows the success of spring
filters is largely predetermined by the
treatment accorded the brood animals
from this time on. Sufficient nourish-
ing feed is essential and plenty of ex-
ercise is important.
The exact amount of feed required
to winter sOws, however, cannot be
stated definitely, for much depends up
on the condition. age and the indlvid-
ual SOW. The best rule to go by is not
to allow them to become thin, while
on the other hand ii is not wise TO
allow them TO become very fat. Sows
in fair condition in the fall should
gain from 80 to 10 pounds at least
before narrowing time, for the loss in
weight during parturitiOn may be
equal to this. This gain should be
put on gradually, for it is advisable
to spread ii over the entire period,
especially during the final six or
eight weeks of pregnancy. BY so do
ing the healthy development of the
unborn litter is assured.
With sows in good healthy condition
Aout IL pounds of grain per day for
every 100 pounds Of live weight should
produce about the desired gains.
Some sows need more, others less.
Equal parts of ground corn, oats and
wheat middlings makes an excellent
ration. During the colder weather II
plenty of exercise is provided, larger
proportion of corn can be fed. Barley
or rye, in place Of the corn, 10 well

make good ratiOns. 1t matters little
which ration is used If care be taken
to see that 1t is palatable, has the
proper bulk and contains the desired
nutrients. Corn, barley and other fat
forming feeds must be fed in limited
quantities; muscle and bone builders,
such as middlings, oats, tankage and
alfalfa, are very essential and should
form n considerable portion Of the
ration also Good, well-cured alfalfa.
fed in racks, is greatly relished and
supplies at the same time the neces-
sary bulk. 1t is also a good bone and
muscle builder. Some prefer to chop
the alfalfa. and after sleeping in wa
ter. for several hours mix 1t with the
grain ration. Handled in this manner
the amount eaten can be more nearly
regulated.
A small amount of succulent feed,
such as mangels or garbage, gives va
riety and tends to keep sows in
healthy condition.

Two Thanksgiving
ProcIamationS of \
Revolutionary Days

" HE notwithstanding proclama-
ton OF the revolution was re-
Il ported to congress October 1S,
1888. by Duane, Samuel Hunt
ington and IIoiten. 1t was written by
Mr.. Duane and given TO the people on
the second Thursday In December. 1t
expresses thanks for the discharge Of
troops in tie following words:
whereas, 1t has pleased the SUI
preme Ruler of all human events TO
dispose the hearts of the late bellig-
erent powers to put period to the
effusion OF human blood. by proclaim
ing a cessation Of all hOstilities by
sea and land, and these United States
are not only happily rescued from the
dangers and calamities to which they
have been so long exposed, but their
freedom, sovereignty and indepen-
dence are ultimately acknowledged |;
and, whereas, in the process Of con-
test on which the most essential rights
of human nature depended the inter-
position of divine providence in our
favor hath been most abundantly and
most graciously manifested, and the
citizens of these United States have
every reason for. praise and gratitude
to the God of their salvation; -. the
United States in congress assembled
do recommend 1t to the several states
to set apart the second Thursday in
December next as day of public
thanksgiving"
The first national Thanksgiving to
be promulgated after the adoption of
the Constitution Of the United States
was written by Washington and issued
on October 3, 1889. This was gen.
eral recommendation of thanksgiving
for the establishment of the Constitu-
ton. The whereabouts of the original
of this instrument is unknown. The
earliest Thanksgiving proclamation Of
Washington as president In the pos
session of the department of state Is
one dated January 1, 1895, and was
issued In view of the suppression of
the rebellion in western Pennsylvania,
which for time threatened the safety
of the union.
This document was written by Alex
ander Hamilton, secretary of the treas
ury, and bears amendments by Ed
mund Randolph, secretary Of state.
The original copy is yellow and the
ink is faded, but II Is yet legible. 1t
is the engrossed copy which bears the
great seal of the United States and the
signatures of Washington and Ran
dolph. The proclamation is as fol-
lows:
when we review the calamities
which affilct so many other nations,
the present condition of the United
States affords much of consolation and
satisfaction. Our exemption hitherto

Pain, commanding the brigade, to lead the attack The choice was hailed with delight by the Poles themselves and when the order was given to leap to the assault, they captured in quick succession three lines of German trenches and planted themselves solid ly in front of the fourth. Colonel Pain was killed leading the men to the at tack while practically every French officer was either killed or wounded. The Poles themselves lost heavily but their heroism was so great that on the following day the general command ing the army corps, ordered them out of the ranks and commanded review of the French troops in their honor.
 So great has been not only the en- thusiasm but the intelligence and skill of the Polish volunteers that many of them in a few months of service have passed all the examinations from sim pie soldier to the rank of full lieu tenant.
 It is these veterans Of three years fighting in France who not only form the first batallions of the new auto nomous Polish army, but who are serving as instructors for the thou sands of volunteer recruits now com ing from the United States. Brazil, Argentine, Mexico and in fact from almost every country in the world.

NEW POLISH ARMY WILL HAVE ENVIABLE RECORD,
 TRADITION TO SUSTAIN
(By United Press.l


 Paris, Oct. ? (By MaiD-When the new, autonomous Polish army that is being organized in France largely of Polish recruits from the United States Argentine and Brazil takes it's place on the western battlefront alongside of the new American army, it will have an enviable record and tradition to sustain.
 Already, several thousand Polish volunteers, who have fought in the French ranks, have left behind them military glory worthy of the best pages of Polish military history.
 When the war began they enlisted in the French army with the sole idea of fighting for France and the prin- ciples for which France stood. Later when Czar Nicholas announced that an independent Poland would be creat- ed, the Polish volunteers in the French army, enthused with the idea that they were fighting also for an event. ual independent Poland, performed deeds of heroism and bravery that won for them citations of honor from the French military chiefs, and off cial thanks from the French Chamber and the French Senate.
 The great bulk of these volunteers have now left the French army to join their own. Many of them have passed the examinations for officers commits sions and all are united in a common determination to keep the new Polish army up to the high standards set by their comrades who have already fallen on the field of honor in the French ranks.
 With the outbreak of the war, prac- tically every Pole in France who could pass the military requirements en. listed in the French army. Hundreds of these were refugees and thousands were Poles who had come to France to enjoy the political freedom denied them in the native provinces.
 All of those who were able to es- cape from Belgium fled to France and enlisted, while hundreds of others Icame from Costa Rica, Brazil, Argen- tine, the United States and almost every country to which Poles had fled from their home provinces.
 Of these Poles, fighting on the western front, for a future independ- ent Poland, the greater part were from the three portions of Poland, the Duchy of Posen and Silesia.
 Austrian Poland contributed the next largest number while Prussian Poland was well represented.
 Unfortunately, French military regulations did not make it possible to organize them into distinctive Polish batallions. That this handful of Poles scattered through the French army was fighting really for Poland may be surmised from the following official citation on December 1, 1914. before the French armies of one of the Polish flag bearers, "Ladislas Szuysky, leg ionary of the first class, Polish patriot killed by the enemy while gloriously planting on a German trench, the flag of reborn Poland"
 In the offensive north of Arras on May g, 1915, the Polish companies, be- cause of the military valor they had demonstrated, were chosen by Colonel
