Alfalfa is a mighty useful plant.

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

INNE 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 1t when they did
not celebrate Christmas, best beloved
because 1t is a holiday all our own,
typically American through and
through. Nations all over the world
celebrate Christmas, New Years and
Easter. Even our Independence day
has its 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.
Its origin was in the farms, where
the harvest season was closed with
day set aside for the giving Of thanks
for the crops just harvested In real
lty It Is a national harvest festival, but
it's meaning has come to cover more
than just the harvest season alone.
Now this holiday is accorded us fog
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
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
lngton appointed day of thanksgiving
for the adoption of the Constitution.
1t was in this year also that the Epis-
copal church formally recognized the
right of the civil government to rec
ommend such feast day.

The Farmers Thanks.

The farmer rose-a grizzled man
OF kindly mien was he,
Still straight for all his threescorA years
AS any poplar tree.
Beside him sat his gentle wife,
A witkered rose in gray,
And all his girls and boys were there
To spend Thanksgiving day.
The farmer spoke: II thank thee, Lord.
For all my golden grain.

The sunshine and the rain;
But most l thank thee for the crown
And glory of my life,
The sweetheart of my youth and age,
My true and faithful wife,

of 1O2 Pilgrims, anchored off the rock

three months their number was almost

on their corn fields, and autumn
brought abundant harvest. A few little
dwellings had been built, and prepa-

o Lord in thine infinite mercy,
In the stretch of thy broad embrace,
We pray thee take each sinner
To thy bosom and thy grace;
In bowed and reverent gratitude
To thank thy all-giving hand,
For some are blind and cannot see
And some cannot understand.
The monarchs forgive their arrogance
For they are but human clay,
And their men, too weary to worship,
And their women too hungry to pray.

TAKE WARNING.

Because of the many infringements
upon the provisions of the law In ref.
erence to proper licensing Of automo.
biles it has become necessary for the
Motor Vehicle Division under l. M.
Howell, Secretary of State, to pay
stricter attention to section 9 Of the
Motor Vehicle Code. This section
provides that:
A license to be valid must have en-
dorsed thereon the signature of the
owner or the duly authorized agent of
such owner. Such license must be
carried on the vehicle for which 1t
was issued at all times when such We
hicle is being operated on the public
highways. Any person in charge of
such vehicle shall, upon demand of
any of the local authorizes or Of any
peace officer, or Of any representative
of the secretary of states office, per-
init an inspection of the same. Upon
application supported by affidavit of
loss or destruction of license and
upon payment of a fee required there
for, a duplicate copy thereof shall be
issued.
This phase of the law has never
been strictly enforced up to this time.
partially because there were SO many
other enfringements of the law SEEM
ingly more detrimental and which re-
quired special concentration to pre-
vent. Now, however, since the laws
OF 1917 materially increased the fees
to be paid out for all machines, some
INSCRIPTIONS motor vehicle operators
are trying to save a little money at
the expense of the state by taking q
license of low classification, say one
costing IS and using it in place of one
of high valuation, say SO. In some
cases operators have gone SO far as
to use licenses costing only $50 in
place of licenses costing $3.50. Not
only is this an infringement of an i'm
law, but it amounts to rIb1ing the
state of considerable revenue.
Instructions are therefore being
sent out 20 all field depu:i,, Of the
Motor Vehicle Division to pay partic-
ular atte1tiol 10 the enfoc 3.uS Of that
feature of the law. In every case
where It seems dc sirable to do 50 they
will ask to see the license. Persons
who do not have this license with
them as the law provides or who have
license which does not belong to
that particular car will be liable to
such penalties as are provided for in
the law. 1t is very much hoped that
the prosecutions resulting from me-
glecting to observe this section of the
automobile code will be reduced to a
minimum.
