UNION SERVICES PLANNED

Tomorrow
A more solemn and universal Oh
servation of Thanksday than the
North Dakota capital ever before has
known is planned for tomorrow. New
er, since the little city of Bismarck
was founded 46 years ago, has the
community had greater cause for
thanksgiving. In all of it's romantic
career, one which in pioneer days was
pften fraught with danger, and fire.
quently with trial, deprivation and suf
fering, never has the capital city
passed through such period Of stress
as that of the last twelve months
when so many of it's bravest sons
were barring their breasts to the steel
of a ruthless foe far across the seas
and the community is still keyed to
high pitch over the glorious and sue
cessful elimination Of it's fears and
crowning of its hopes which came so
recently.
1t will be with sincere spirit of
conservation that Bismarck enters up.
on the observance of the most typical
of American holidays tomorrow. With
peace and good will restored the
world; with the certainty that scores
of our boys soon will be coming home
again, safe and sound, victors in the
greatest struggle Of all Christendom,
no heart can fail tomorrow to throo
with anew appreciation of the signifi'
canoe Of the day.
Thanksgiving services will be held
tomorrow morning in four capital city
churches. The congregations of prot
estant faith will join at 1880 in a
union Thanksgiving service at Nc
Cabe church. At $3.50 Thanksgiving
services will be solemn'y celebrated
at St. Marys pro.cathedral, and at 10
st. Georges Episcopal church and the
Christian Science congregation will
observe the day in their respective
houses of worship. .,H.ESss%,

The Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army will join with
the other churches of the city in the
union Thanksgiving services to be
held at McCabe church in the morn
ing. There will be public Thanks
giving service in the Salvation army
hall Thursday evening at 8 p. M,
when the public is invited.
Everything to Close.
Every public and private office and
all manner of business institutions
will close for the entire day. The
Tribune will suspend publication for
this day in order that it's staff may
enter fully into the spirit, of the oc:
casion. The state house, federal coun-
ty and city buildings and all banks
will be closed. "
The home feast, with turkey and
cranberries as the essentials, will be
the crowning event of the day for
majority of families. AS in other years,
the day will be one of family re-
unions. All Of the hotels and restau-
rants in the city are offering special
Thanksgiving menus for the homeless
or for those who prefer to dine down
town in order that mother, queen of
the cuisine, may also enjoy a holiday.
There will be no Thanksgiving
sports program. The recent influenza
epidemic so interfered with the organ
ization of Bismarck high school ath-
letics that the usual Thanksgiving
football game must de dispensed with.
The day, rather, will be one Of quiet
thanksgiving, even such as that in
which our Pilgrim fathers consecrated
themselves upon that first Thanksgiv-
ing day at Plymouth rock, when a
new nation was in the first throes Of
birthhoOd.
