Thanksgiving Hints

AS your table may be spread with
many wholesome things, let not the
juice of the grape or the "evil spirit
of the STILL" as they may give their
color in the cup, be found there.
AS you surround your bountifully
spread table be thankful of your
neighbor who may have only
crust.
Since few things are so bad but
they might be worse, there is always
something to be thankful for.
Many turkeys will be stuffed for
Thanksgiving, but show thou more
wisdom than to "stuff yourself"
Nothing is lost by occasionally
stopping the busy, buzzing wheels OF
business to return thanks to the
bountiful giver of all good.
IL you are truly thankful in your
Thanksgiving you may well be thank
full for the thanfulness that enables

Our National HOLIDAY

There are holidays and holidays.
Christmas and News Years are cos
mopolitan-are the property of no
particular people, but yet are joy
ously observed by many. But Thanks
giving is purely an American holt
day, original in conception and grow
ing from small beginning until it
has reached the dignity of national
event. It's first celebration was by
the Plymouth coloney in 1621-those
sturdy pioneers whose piety was as
pronounced as their pluck, who hon
ored themselves by honoring theiff
Diety. The custom soon became
more general, spreading over all the
New England states. After the revo-
luton it gradually extended to the
middle states and later to the west,
growing more slowly in the souths
In 1863 the patriotic Lincoln forever
established it in the list of holidays
by proclaiming it day of Thanks
giving, his action being promptly
followed by the individual proclaa
nation of the governors of the states,
who named the day. Since then, by
common consent, the first announce
ment of the day is found in the presf-
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1918-11-15

dents proclamation, and the day so
named is also named by the states.
A commendable features of this
holiday is practical benevolence
which has become very notable. Poor
people to whom good dinner is
rarity, are hunted out, and in an I'M
ostentatious way are helped to pro-
perly observe the day, so far as its
festive features are concerned. The
sick and suffering are remembered
in various ways. The homeless are,
for the day, made members of some
hospitable household where they can
join in its pleasures. Altogether,
this is perhaps it's best feature. There
is no pleasure so lasting, none which
affords such real joy as that which
comes to us from the knowledge that
we have done real kindness to
some of the suffering children of
earth-in some way alleviated their
sorrows or eased their pains.
Last, but not least, the devotional
spirit which is the impelling motive
of the day, is encouraged and de-
veloped, we learn to be more content
ed with our lot, thankful for what
we have and hopeful for the future.

you to have true Thanksgiving.
With malice toward none and chart
ty for all, enjoy your Thanksgiving.
AS you may have "lay-off"
Thanksgiving day, let not whiskey
clay you out
There can be no true Thanksgiving
with i'll will or hatred in your hearts
toward others.
AS you participate in the festivf-
ties of the day use moderation and
judgment.
AS you have been blest let it meas
ure your Thanksgiving blessing to
others.
To manifest the goodness of your
heart to your friends send them this
paper for one year.
Don't think Thanksgiving time is
a special opportunity for you to in
dulge in riot, racket, reveling and
feasting.
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1918-11-15

Make others happy and be happy
yourself.
Be thankful-your blessings have
been many.
Be considerable of others as well as
yourself.
Hide your griefs and display your
smiles.
If you have but little, partake of
il gratefully.
Let the joy in your heart bubble up
like spring.
AS you feast on the fat OF the land
remember the giver.
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1918-11-15

Manifest your sympathy by acts as
well as words.
AS you tickle your palate do not do
injustice to your stomach.
AS you have been prospered, share
with the unfortunate.
Through the fast passing day
speak kind words while you may.
Let no act of kindness be ever
withdrawn for the dear ones about
us may soon be gone.
Be good and do good wherever you
roam, and especially display these
traits at your home.

tricts for better distribution and in
creased production OF bituminous coal
of the country for the year beginning
April were announced by Dr.. Harry
A. Garfield, fuel administrator, and
William McAdoo, director general of
railroads.
More than twenty separate zones
are laid out. They form a simple, di-
rect scheme of delivering coal to the
nearest consuming points. They i'm
mate useless hauling Of thousands OF
miles which the competition hereto
fore existing among the coal produc-
ers made necessary.
They do away with the cross haul
as much as possible, one Of the worst
bueaboOs Cf the fuel administration
and the director general Of railroads.
BY the saving on ansportati~ they
automatically increase production by
millions or tons.
Hauls on inland waterways are not
restricted by the zone system.
All mines in northern West Virgin
la, Pennsylvania and Maryland on the
Baltimore and Ohio railway, western
Maryland and the coal and coke east
of Dundon, as well as of all the mines
north Of these lines. will be allowed
to ship eastbound to all points in the
state of West Virginia, Maryland, Dis
trict of Columbia, Delaware, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, New York and the
New England states reached by custo-
mary eastbound routes, including coal
for transshipment to vessels at tide
water
They will not be allowed to ship
westbound except to all Lake Erie
ports for lake transshipment only.
with the further exception that Penn
sylvania producing districts will be
allowed to ship to sections in Ohio.
Producing districts in West Virgin
ia low volatile fields are restricted to
District of Columbia, North Carolina,
Virginia. Kentucky, Ohio, West Vir-

GIRLS WORK FOR The
NAVY AUXILIARY
Mrs. JoSephus Daniels Interested in
Getting Volunteers For The Or2a-
niZatiOn

The WorkroOms Of the newly for
med Navy Department Auxiliary OF
the Red Cross composed of cirl
workers in the Department and the
wives and mothers of officers and
sailors, We're filed with volunteers
on the day of the opening, Tuesday,
March 18th. The work of establish
ing the volunteers was superintend-
ed by Mrs. JCsephus Daniels, wife OF
the Secretary of the Navy.
The Organization. said Mrs.
Daniels, has already raised $11.55O
purely through voluntary Contrihu-
tions. Many of those received have
been from people not in the Navy,
but interested because of son or
brother or friend who is in tbs ser
vice. Two knitting machines have
been presented by Mrs. Edward D.
Mclean, which will be known as the
Dewey machines, and she will also
supply all the wool to be used by
them.
Not only our girl workers in the
Navy Department. but the men, are
taking an active part in the organi-
cation. y number OF yeomen have
volunteered to help with the pack
ing of the finished work, while 9TH
erS have asked for an evening class
in surgical dressings. and all profess
the greatest interest in knitting ma
chimes.
'.Twenty-five per cent of the funds
of the organization will be used for
knitting, in addition to the output
of the knitting machines. Socks are
to be the main product of the knit
ters, since they arc the articles
chiefly desired at present. They will
be sent to the marines in the tren-
cheS. Indeed all the work OF the OF
ganiZation will be used directly by
the navy except in case of great
emergency.
There is a movement on foot to
open the rooms on the evenings they
are not open for work, for recreation
purposes, so that men of the navy
may drop in and enjoy a social even
ing with games and victrola."
