part in the conference, and to listen to
addresses by speakers of international
fame.
Similar meeting have been held in
eight other of the larger cities of the
country, which have been addressed by
former President William Howard
Taft and other distinguished citizens
OF the United States, but none of the
meetings were more enthusiastic than
those held at Salt Lake.
Mr.. Taft formed the league to en-
force peace in 1914, and is president
of the league. He sees no good rea-
son why a question of such supreme
importance to the whole world should
be made the football of partisan poll
tics, and he does not believe that those
who do not agree with President Will
son are justified in advocating the de-
feat of the covenant which holds out
the hope Of peace.
Mr.. Taft was, of course, the princi-
pal speaker at the conference, some
of the speakers of national fame who
addressed the congress being A. Law
renee Lowell, president of Harvard
university; George Grafton Wilson,
professor OF international law at Har-
ward; DIR. Henry Van Dyke, former
minister to The Netherlands; Mrs.
Phillip North Moore, President of the
National Council of Women; Henry
Morgenthau, former ambassador to
Turkey; DIR. Charles r. Brown, Yale
university; Edward A. Filene, director
chamber of commerce, U. S. A.; Cap
tain Thomas Chamberlain.
Frank =. Walsh, former joint chair
man of the war labor board, was de-
tanned in San Francisco and was there
fore unable to address the congress.
Former Governor John c. Cutler pre-
sided at the opening session of the
congress at the tabernacle, which was
packed to the doors. Among the prom
inent Utahns on the program were
former Governor William Spry, Presi-
dent Heber j. Grant, head of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints: Rev. George +. Davies, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church; Dr.

senate; Professor Levi Edgar Young OF

MOUNTAIN PEACE CONFERENCE
APPROVES LEAGUE OF NATIONS

of the proposed league of nations as
espoused by President Wilson.
Demands for reparation on the part
of Germany We're expressed by DIR. Van
Dyke, who also expressed sentiments
against further warfare on the part of
the nations. DIR. Van Dyke not only
strenuortsly voiced appreciation of
President Wilson's participation in the
Paris peace conference and his labors
in behalf of the league of nations, but
he referred in complimentary man.
ner to the part former President Taft
is playing in efforts to promote the
proposed league.
He was most emphatic in his decla-
ration that the league as proposed does
not interfere with this or any other
country's domestic affairs. Il hope no
silly ass keeps us out of the league of
nations" declared DIR. Van Dyke in
concluding his references to the OPP
posing congressman and others.
Professor Grafton Wilson took occa-
sion to berate the senator's who are
opposing the proposed league of ma
lions, though none were mentioned by
name. Professor Wilson, during the
course of most able address, pre-
sented arguments aiming to show con-
clusively that the Monroe doctrine was
not endangered by the proposed league,
and that the objections brought for
ward by the opponents of the plan
were untenable.
Ex-Governor John G. Cutler chair
man of the Mountain congress for a
league of nations, made a strong ap-
peal for permanent peace and declared
the league as fostered by President
Wilson was the means to such an end.
State Senator j. VIII Knight, repre-
senting the associated industries of
the intermountain country, pledged the
support of that organization to the
proposed league.
President John A. Widstoe of the
University of Utah appealed for the
league ON behalf of the farmers of
Utah and the other mountain states.
Former President Taft was the guest
of honor at a dinner given at the Hotel
Utah Saturday, over 500 prominent
citizens being present. Following the
banquet, former Governor Cutler made
a short address, being followed by
Governor Bamberger, who introduced
Mr.. Taft.
The former president in opening his
dinner speech referred laughingly to
his peculiar pleasure" in being in
Utah and of the support given him in
1912 by the state. He then told Of his
mission in Salt Lake and of the eff
forts he and the other speakers en-
tour in the interest of the proposed

The chief function of roots In cattle
feeding is to supply succulent reeu.
Under general farm conditions the
quantity of nutrients grown per acre
in root crops is small in comparison
to the cost of production. These root
crops, however, can be preserved dur
ing the winter equally well whether
large or small quantities are fed
each day, and therefore have special
application when only few cows are

Turnips, however, should be fed after
milking rather than before as they

Broad. speaking, there are two fac

must be supplied at price which will

President Taft at the Tabernacle Sat
urday night, nine thousand delegates
from Utah, Idaho and Wyoming voted
to adopt resolution expressing their
conviction that the League of Nations
was the means of guaranteeing that
peace, liberty and justice will be eStab-
lished and maintained ON an enduring
foundation.
1--WE need to apply the principles of
personal and domestic municipal and
national morality more widely" de-
clared Dean Charles r. Brown of Yale
University at the Saturday morning
session in the Assembly hall. Other
speakers at the morning session were
Mrs. Philip North Moore, president OF
the National Council of Women of the
United States, Professor Levi Edgar
Young of the University of Utah and
Brigham II. Roberts, chaplain of the
145th Utah field artillery.
At the Saturday afternoon session
at the Tabernacle, DIR. A. Lawrence
Lowell, president of the Harvard uni
versity, presided. The other speakers
were Captain Thomas G. Chamberlain,
Henry Morgenthau, former United
States ambassador to Turkey, and Ed
ward A. Filene, director of the United
States chamber of commerce.
"The soldier fought to make the
world safe for democracy, and he is
going to fight to keep it safe,' said
Captain Chamberlain.
Former Ambassador Morgenthau
made strong appeal for the support
of the American people to be placed
squarely behind the league of nations
plan.
Answering critics of the league of
nations plan, DIR. Lowell declared that
no longer was it possible for us to
wrap ourselves in a cloak of glorious
isolation. We cannot avoid our respon-
sibility as great nation.
Business men, Mr.. Filene said,
realized the great need of league of
nations, and did not look upon 1t as an
utopian thing. In their practical WIS.,
ion, he said, they strongly favored the
formation of such league to maintain
world security.
Mrs. hilip North Moore, president
lof the National Council of Women,
who was one of the speakers at the
Mountain Congress, was the guest OF
honor at luncheon Saturday, attended
by representative women of Utah, Ida
Tho and Wyoming. Preceding the
luncheon, DIR. Charles r. Brown, dean
of the School of Religion at Yale uni
versity made a short address. Mrs.
Moore. in an address following the
luncheon, told of the aims of the
league and extolled the war work OF
the women of the nation.
Mrs. Moore said it was her privilege
to present the team work of the women
of the country during the period of the
war and that she knew they were
ready to bear a larger share of respOn-
sibility in the new REIMBURSEMENT OF
life and principles for which the league
of nations stood.

birthday anniversary in Salt Lake will

Not Essentially American.

Our American Thanksgiving is usual
ly considered our one native contribu-
ton to the holidays Of nations, as its
observance originated with the New
England fathers. Perhaps the fathers
themselves liked to think of it in this
o%riginative way and so wished it per-
petuated-as something that had flow
cred on the bleak rock of their per-
sonal struggle. It was to be peculiarly
their day, peculiarly a heroic New Eng
land day, an American day. So in a
sense it is; so in a sense it is not.
Many other nations have had such
days Of thankfulness.

\H1s famous poem comes to

Nils famous poem comes to
mind with each recurring
Thanksgiving day, and carries
US back to 1921 when the land
was young and u pilgrim forbears
were laying the first foundation stones
of our great American republic. To
them belongs the credit of having cele-
brated the first Thanksgiving day in
New England, but not the first in
North America. Historians remind us
Of the fact that in the year 1878 an
English minister named Wolfall con-
Quoted a Thanksgiving service on the
shores of Newfoundland. The min
lister was with an expedition under
Frobisher which brought the first Eng
fish colony to settle on those shores.
1t was in this pious spirit OF graft
tude that the Pilgrims on the "stern
and rock-bound coast Of Plymouth
"praysed God" in sincere gratitude for
the way in which he had delivered
them from all the dangers of the deep
that the Mayflower had gone through.
We Of the luxurious plenty of our day
would feel that we had little for
which to be grateful if we had no
more than the Pilgrims had on their
first Thanksgiving day. Dangers known
and unknown encompassed them round
about, and their days were filled with
hard labor, while their fare was Of the
plainest and the future was uncertain.
But they had stout hearts in which
hope ran high. Of the American
Thanksgiving one historian says:
1.-THE annual celebration, as we have
1t IN its present form, is essentially of
American conception. The settlers of
jamestown, the Dutch of New York,
the Pilgrims of Plymouth, and the Pu-
ritans of Boston were in every respect
devoutly religious people. They were
cornerstones in the great temple of
republican government on this side of
the Atlantic. The first written consti-
tuition in all history was an American
document, in that it was written in the
cabin Of the Maylower on Saturday,
Nov. II, 1920, as that unique craft
swung at her anchor in Provincetown
harbor, the first six words being In
the name Of God, Amen This phrase
laid the foundation stones Of our
western civilization. These men
brought but little with them, but left
much to posterlty. If this were the
only thing they left us, the American
Thanksgiving day, their names would
be immortalized. It gives Joy to the
humblest of peoples. On the follow.
Ing autumn there was held q 'grande
thanksgiving The most condensed ac-
count Of this 'grande Thanksgiving can
be found in a letter written by Ed.
ward Winslow, sent to q friend in
England, as follows: Our harvest be.
Ing gotten in, u governor sent. u
four men on fowling, so that we might
after a special manner rejoice togetl /.
er, after we had gathered the fruits or
our labors. They killed as much fowl
as with a little help beside served the
company about one week. At which
times among other %recreations we ex-
erclsed our army, many Of the Indians

rest of their greatest king, Massasoit,

days we entertained and feasted, and
they went out and killed five deer.

our governor and upon the captain

Many Causes for Gratitude.

We have reason to be grateful for
u abundant harvests, which suffice
to feed us at home and empower us
to give substantial aid to the starving
war-wasted peoples abroad; to be hum.

all that Is so precious in our own eyes.

With feasts and offerings and a thankful
strain. Pope.
The favorite way Of celebrating
Thanksgiving in New England was, of
course, first with prayer and a sermon,
in which the minister told his congre-
cation the many things they had to be
thankful for. The church was generally
decorated with fruits and grains, and
when the custom became national this
was continued. The idea Of the Thanks
giving dinner in New England was to
have all of the fruits Of the harvest,
and turkey became the principal meat
course because this bird was so plenti-
full and was caught in the wild state
and prepared most appetizingly by the
housewives.
Then there was pumpkin pie, and as
cranberries grew in great quantities in
New England states the sauce Of that
berry was a fitting addition to the
turkey course. Plum cake, or, as it has
come to be known, fruit cake, was a
favorite for the Christmas holidays in
England and was brought over with
other dainties by the first Of the set.
tiers, and the recipes for making treas.
ured by the housewives.
Meat pies, or, as we call them, mince
pies, came later in the. list Of good
things for Thanksgiving.
With the very earliest settlers the
day was, indeed, a day Of prayer, and
little else besides, but later it became

could not afford a turkey for Thanks.
