sent his mother a Centennial edition
o. tn Philadelphy Ledger. He come
over from Jeffersonville on parole
but nobody knowed him.
Joe Apple is back in town shakin'
hands, too. His whiskers have been
driven back an his step haint quite
as springy as it wuz before he traded
his hardware store fer some rice land

He says that while tn work is little

any feller is gittin' along, whether
he's single or tied down, he feels a
whole lot better If he knows he's got
an ole home t. go back to. o. course
your father haint as gushy as mother

But mother is th' one. She believes

you have t. hurry away an that where
you've been workin' has had t. close

Universal Thanksgiving.

Some call November the dreary
month of the year, the black sheep Of
the II; and yet it is the month of
thankfulness, the completion of the
fruitage of the year. In the woods
the squirrels are industriously at work
among their last gleanings before cold
weather sets in, their happy "chee-
cheeree" joining with the calls of the
blue jays and crows and smaller birds
In the universal paean of thanksgiv-
ing. In the underbrush and in the
meadows the mice, too, are harvest
ing, with their hearts full of gladness.
Bees are buzzing over goldenrod and
wild asters and other late flowers; the
quail that have escaped the hunter
are. like Ruth. gathering the last
grains in the farmers fields; while the
farmer himself and his boys are load
Ing the golden pumpkins into the big
farm wagons to carry away for winter
storage for use by both the family and
The cattle.

Our town looks real cosmopolitan

On ever corner you kin see little

about ole times. Some o. 'em look
like they had lots t be thankful fer

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

@NE of the oldest and best beloved
q 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 it 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 1t day apart in the heart of
every citizen.
Its 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
it's 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 a
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.
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.

Standish1 and Others"
Such Is the historic record of the
first Thanksgiving in Plymouth colony
291 years ago. Less than year before
the Mayfower, bearing its little band
of 1O2 Pilgrims, anchored off the rock
bound New England coast. Alone in
the boundless wilderness Of the New
World the heroic Purltans 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
Dne-half of the entire company. But
with the spring time life looked more
kindly upon the exiles; 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 a tiny oasis of homes on the desert
of the New World. Then 1t was that
Governor Bradford issued his first
proclamation, and the Pilgrims and
their Indian guests partook of that
first and now historic American feast.

TO SEND IN TAX LISTS
EMPLOYERS URGED TO REPORT
TO COLLECTOR PROMPTLY.
New Revenue Law Requires That
Statements Be Made Of Fixed
Salaries Paid.

Denver.-In the new revenue meas
ure recently passed by Congress
amending the income tax law there is
Incorporated provision which is of
special interest to individuals, part
nerships and corporations making
fixed annual payments of salaries, in
terest or rent of $500 or more to an
other person, partnership or corpora
ton. This is known as information
at the source" and the law requires
such person or corporation to render
a true and accurate return of all such
payments and provides severe penal
ties for failure to make such return.
This information is required for the
calendar year 1917 and subsequent
years.
Any person coming under the pro-
vision of this law requiring informa-
tion returns should apply to the col
lector of internal revenue for proper
blanks and the same will be forward
ed as soon as the blanks are received
from Washington.
The new law requires an income
tax return from single person having
a net income in excess OF $1,000 or
married person having a net income
in excess of $4,000. The law no longer
requires Withholding of the tax at the
source except in the case of bonds
guaranteed free of tax and in the case
of nonresident alien individuals and
corporations not having an office in
this country.
