THE w


The first recorded Thanksgiving on
the American continr 4 "a obse we'd
297 years ago. Its inception was
unique and in a certain sense pathetic.
The little company of Pilgrims that
landed at Plymouth Rock the year
before had passed a tragic and sor-
rowful winter, Nearly half their
number had succumbed from dis
ease and exposure before the
summer season arrived. More Of
their friends with meager supplies
Joined the colony in the spring and
the work of their homes and cultivat.
ing the small patches of land that
they had cleared occupied their wax
ing hours. Since the day Of landing
the Pilgrims had had no day Of rest
except their %Sabbaths. So. in the fall
of 1921 they arranged for a period of
thanksgiving. Four huntsmen were
sent out for game and in a day they
procured enough substantials, prin-
cipally wild turkey, to last the whole
colony for a week. Massasoit, a
friendly Indian chief, was invited to
join in the observance and he and his
friends remained three days as guests.
They brought along five deer to add
to the feasting. Tradition has 1t that
at the first meal all Of the corn that
they could spare, after saving enough
for next years seed, was parched and
portions served to each one of the col
ony and guests. At each plate a few
grains of corn. And they all gave
thanks. The Pilgrims were cheerful
Christians and have set us a good ex-
ample.
If the friends and relatives of SOL
der boys who have lost their lives in
France would wish to know the real
kindness of spirit of the French peo-
pie they ought to procure a copy of
the Saturday Evening Post of the 23rd
inst. and read the description of how
the women of that country are taking
care of the graves Of our fallen heroes.
See, under the heading, Decoration
Day in France" on page 81.

The ig%nominious surrender of the
German navy was almost a shock to
the sailors Of the American and Brit
ish navies. Reports say that they
were aghast at the servile and sullen
way in which the big line of battle
ships were turned ove without a blow
or 4 move OF war. The yellow streak
was almost apparent in the persons
Of the surrendering forces. Such a
~dfsgraceful and abject surrender has
never been known In history.

READERS OF THE REGISTER

Owing to the recent ruling of the Federal Trade
Commission in again raising the price of print
paper, we may have to raise the price OF the
Register to $3.50 per year by the first of Janu-
airy next in order to make it pay expenses. Be-
fore the war broke out and since, we have been
exceedingly fortunate in our purchases, but
now, on account of the shortage and the rules
laid down by the War Industries Board, we are
limited to a certain allotment with the certainty
of being obliged to pay the highest market price
per pound that has prevailed in the thirty-lve
years we have been in the publishing business.
We are therefore advising those who read the
Register and enjoy its weekly visits and who,
have failed to attend to their renewals to do so
at once before the price goes any higher.

LINCOLN STEPHENS.

Lincoln Steffens, socialist, author, lecturer, ''muckraker," foe of capital ists and "the hired press," and cele- brated as the author of "The Shame of the Cities" is 52 years old today, having been born on April 6, 1866.

THE KOHINOOR.

The first owner of the famous Kohinoor or Mountain of Light dia- mond, according to legend, was the hero Karna, who is said in Indian lore to have owned the stone 5000 years ago. The Kohinoor, which was brought to England from India sixty eight years ago today, April 6, 1850, and presented to Queen Victoria the following July, made it's first authen- tic appearance in history in the four teenth century. when Ala-ed-din car- ried 1t to Delhi. At that time it was said to have weighed 79S carats. It appeared in the great diamond market of Golconda in 1850. The lack of skill of a Venetian lapidary. Hortensio Borghese, reduced it's weight to 279 carats. After the sack of Delhi, in 1793, the diamond went to Afghanis- tan, and it belonged in turns to sev- era1 Afghan rulers. Thence it came into possession of the Sikh Chief, Run feet Singh Upon the abdication of the last ruler of the Punjab, and the annexations of his don1inions to the British empire, in 1S49, the great stone became the property of the East India Company, and was by them presented to Queen Victoria. It was recut soon afterward, and now weighs 102A carats. It is beyond price, although s1O. .000,0 900 has been given as g. fair valuation of this wonderful gem.

By FLORENCE SPRING

NORMERLY we canned the unexpected
surplus of few products because we
didn't know what else to do with them
Now in even the small garden we plant with
that surplus imperatively in mind, planning
that it may be large and varied. In this way
does the "small garden" of the present year
fulfil its mission. Ensure surplus and then
can it" should be the slogan of 1918!
Rhubarb First
The first "crop" of which the surplus NAV
be utilized is rhubarb. Set four roots along
some sunny edge Of the garden. It obliterates
itself in late summer and therefore returns
a part of it's space for the use of neighbor-
ing plants. 1t is very easily canned by cut
ting it into half-inch lengths-unpeeled-
ing it into steriized jars and filling them with
cold boiled water. No cooking is required
Make sure that all air spaces are filled, by
running fork down around the inside Of
the jar and letting the water run into it from
the faucet several minutes
String Beans in Brine
String beans are most valuable for winter
use, so plant as many of them in succession
as you can spare space for. A thirty-foot
row, put in at two weeks intervals three times
VIII supply enough Tor a small family for
summer use and also afford a good surplus
Tor canning; but plant more if possible
These are delicious regularly canned, by the
government cold pack method, but we have
for many years been very successful in "salt-
ing them down" The main advantages of
the latter method are that the whole process
from "start to finish" may be carried on in
cool place, and glass jars are not needed
Cut young, tender beans into half-inch
lengths and pack them Immediately with al
ternate layers Of "coarse- fine" salt in stone
crooks. Pack very solidly, shaking the jar
and pressing down the contents; have a half
inch layer of the salt at top and bottom, and
a quarter inch of salt between inch-deep
layers of beans. Put plate holding weight
directly on the top of the beans for few
days. Brine will form to cover and the
beans will "settle;" add more, keeping a
thick layer Of salt on top until sodly full.
Use the crock cover--or plate-only during
the winter. To "freshen" wash thoroughly
in several waters, bring to a boil two or
three times in cold water and simmer until
tender.
We plant,many carrots and beets with ref
crence to winter. and can them when very
