BoovER's COIN TO GET YOU.
The darned old Hoover pledge has come to
our house TO stay;
To frown our breakfast bacon down. and take
our steak away;
It cans our morning waffies, and our sausage,
too, it seems,
And dilstes on the succulence of corn and
spuds and beans.
So skimp the sugar in your cake and leave the
butter out.
Or Hoovers goin' to get you If you
Don't
Watch

Oh, gone are the good old days of hot cakes
thickly spread;
And meatless, whestless. hopeless days are
reigning in their stead;
And gone the days Of fat rib roasts, and two
inch T bone steals,
And doughnuts plump and golden brown,
the kind that mother makes.
And when il comes to pie and cake, just learn
to cut it out.
Or Hoovers goiu' to get you il you
Don't
Watch
Dat!
SO spread your buekwheats sparingly and
peel your taters thin;
And tighten up your belt notch and don't
forget TO grin.
And if, sometimes, your whole soul yearns
for shortcake high and wide,
And biscuits dreuched with honey, and
chicken butter fried.
Remen, her then that Kaiser Bill is short on
sauer kraut.
And Hoover's goin' to get him IL we'll

DAYS new MEANING
This Year National Rejoicing Is
AIIoyed With Thought of
Glad Sacrifice.
ITO a very great number Of us,

"O a very great number Of us,
especially the fathers and
mothers and wives of the Unit
ed States, Thursday will be one of the
most realistic Thanksgivings we have
ever spent. At last, after many years
In which this national holiday was
nothing more than that-merely, In
fact, an occasion for feasting and gath
ering and pleasure-seeking-this dis
tinctly American day is to mean some
thing very real and intimate to us all.
Just what message and benefit It
brings to us will depend largely, If not
wholly, upon ourselves. And the char
acter of appreciation of the bless
ings that have come to US will measure
the depth Of our patriotism and love
of country.
We are not Of those who believe the
whole sacrifice belongs to the man who
has gone away to fight. AS much-in
some cases even more-bravery and
courage and devotion to duty and to
country have been necessary on the
part of those who remained behind.
And We are certain that those who
stop at home will, on this coming
thanksgiving, rea' e more completely
Thar they have heretofore that the call

portunity for service, not merely a
disagreeable duty to be shirked If pos

ranks, and equally the men and wom-
en- at home who support and encour-
age them, enter this war. in such a
spirit of glad, eager sacrifice will It
ever bring us more than disappoint-
ment and regret and terrible loss.
So let Thursday be a day of glad
ness, not of sorrow. Let your tears,
II tears there be as you sit beside the
empty chairs, be evidences that your
heart rejoices In the realization that
your son or husband or brother or
friend was brave enough and willing
enough, yes, eager enough, to risk all

able that his country might win honor
and security through his blood.

CUSTOM AN OLD ONE
Pages Of History Filled With Rec
ord of Days Set Aside for
Giving Thanks.
.HE idea is prevalent throughou,

"NHE idea Is prevalent throughout
the United States that our
Thanksgiving day Is peculiarly
an American custom of New England
origin. This Is true In part only. The
general observance through many
years of a set day on which to give
thanks to Almighty God for his bless
ings has made the custom distinctively
American; but Its origin long ante
dates the settlement of this western
continent and we must look elsewhere
for 1t.
In old Egypt, when the harvest had
been gathered, it was the custom to
observe a day of feasting and to lay
offerings upon the affairs of Isis, the
goddess Of agriculture. The Jewish
festival was the "Ingathering," or the
feast Of the Tabernacle" mentioned
In Exodus and other parts of the Old
Testament. This was more particular
ly a thanksgiving for the fruit harvest,
but asst came at the close of the en-
tire harvest 1t probably was intended
also as a general thanksgiving "for the
bounty of nature"
The goddess Of the Roman harvest
was Ceres. Her festival was celebrated
annually and was called CeraIia. It
was a day of worship and rustic sports.
Men and women formed professions
and went to the fields with music.
In one way or another, a Thanksgiv-
ing day had been observed in Chris
tan Europe for centuries before its
celebration in New England. The early
Christians kept such days as the bish-
ops named them within their irrisdic.
ton. On the continent, and for a time
in England, it occurred at Martinmas,
which was a day of feasting and drink.
Ing. Occasionally, too, civic authorities
recommended the observance of some
fixed day.
