IT'S A REAL DAY
Thanksgiving Lives Up to Rep

Only Perfect Turkey Day in
Country Farm House.

A whole window full of big home

the most wonderful display of fruits,
bottles of rare preserves and appe-
tisers, still another with a few turkeys

Jane and and the kids" the football
teams of every school in the country
"buckling to" for the last practice be-
fore the big game. For this week is
Thanksgiving.
There is something unique about
this day in that it really lives up to its
reputation. On the Fourth of July
people are supposed to have picnics
and shoot firecrackers. and on Labor
day to march in parades and be hilari-
Gus and on New Y ears day to make
good resolutions, But very few of
them do. Thanksgiving is in song and
story a day of family gatherings and
feasting. And it really is. There are
very few families in Topeka who won t
do something out of the ordinary
course of events on this occasion. And
most every one has the memory of at
least one perfect Thanksgiving.

FOR FOOTBALL HONORS
How College Teams Stand Over the
Country Today.

New York, Nov. 24.-If Podunk or
Yap's Crossing claim the eastern foot
ball championship this season, they
may get it. No one would be entitled
to argue them out of 1T, for it seems
after the most chaotic season of years
that there is no real honest gosh
champion.
The regal robes and the scepter had
been draped on Syracuse last week,
but the New Workers allowed Indiana,
ninth in the western conference, to
maui them Saturday.
Harvard's defeat of Yale made the
Crimson the only undefeated major
team of the east, but the record of the
Cambridge eleven is not impressive
enough to carry a title.
Colgate, Dartmouth, Pittsburgh and
Washington and Jefferson stand high
on the list, but each has a defeat that
cuts them out of a chance for the
throne.
Affairs in the west are a little more
tangible. Illinois has first call for the
honors with a victory over Ohio State,
the choice of the early season dope
sters- First and second place was
thereby established but the ranking of
the other conference members is in a
hopeless scramble.
Centre college is running down a
thread of the tangled web that may
lead them to a claim on the eastern
championship. The Kentuckians beat
Indiana IL TO and Indiana beat
Syracuse IL to and Syracuse was
supposed to be the class of the east.
Centre spread a wide grin Saturday
when Georgetown beat Washington
and Lee, that had been registering op-
position to Centres southern cham
pionship claims.
Surprises were not confined to the
Atlantic zone Saturday. Along the
Pacific the dope bucket was given a
hefty kick when the Oregon Aggies
beat Washington State 6 to 0.
The real big classic of the season
closes the year next Saturday on the
Polo grounds when the Army and
Navy come together.

present and on this day you love them
all. There are funny fat uncles and
reminiscent grandparents and little
fussing cousins with mothers who are
still little afraid of his family and
pleasant maiden aunts who wear queer
clothes and gay young brothers or dis
tant cousins, home from stylish
schools. And they are all talking fam
lily talk of long ago and of now and of
of course the table cloth isn't long
enough and has to be made of two.
And the dishes can't be all alike and
there is bump where the table pads
of varying thickness join. Part of the
glasses at the end of the table and on
the children's table were meant for
jelly and the sherbet cups of cram
berry sauce didn't go nearly around
and plain saucers pieced out.
Cards With Funny Verses
There are corn shocks in the corner
of the room and the centerpiece is of
chrysanthemums and the place cards
are homemade turkeys with funny
verses telling where each shall sit.
And then the dinner is ready and
the ramble for places begins and the
piano stool is brought for the son of
the house and the children's bibS are
tied in place and one polite girl wants
to change places with the aunt who
might feel a draft. There is no

that one could eat turkey without a

more than many things it brought
back the picture of ''the boys" who
had done those things with such en-
