rank even Christmas as festival Of
joy, feasting and family reunion.
On becoming governor of New York
John Jay endeavored to establish it
in that state as an annual institution,
but his political enemies branded his
proclamation as an attempt to stir up
religious prejudice in his favor and he
made no further attempts.
Governor Clinton, however, renewed
the effort and was successful, but New
York's Thanksgiving did not coincide
with New England's, which, until the
middle of the last century, occurred
a week later than the Empire states.
Searching old newspaper files we learn
how Thanksgiving was celebrated in
these times. I found the other day a
statement that in 1858 10000 people
after eating one Thanksgiving dinner
in New York city, had gone to their
early homes in New England to enjoy
another, a week later.
Thanksgiving soon became an an
nual, though local, institution in mos
of the western states, which had been
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1919-11-28

settled largely by New Workers and
New Englanders, but the South was
tardy in adopting the idea.
Although Governor Johnson of Vir-
ginia designated Thanksgiving day in
1858, his successor, Governor Wise,
when requested to do so, publicly de-
clined on the ground that he had no
authority to interfere in the religious
matters of the people.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Mrs.
Hale was welding her facile pen in q
jealous crusade to have Thanksgiving
day established as national festival
and observed upon uniform date
throughout the country. For 20 years
she persisted in this agitation, not only
through the columns of the two maya
zines which she edited, but in letters
which she wrote to all the presidents
and governors.
BY agreeing to establish the prece'
dent Of proclaiming the holiday on the
last Thursday of each November, Lin
coin at last crowned her tireless efforts
with success, and no president has
failed to emulate his example.
So Sarah Josepha Hale may be right
fully termed the mother OF our annua

PLEA FOR GOOD
ROADS MADE BY
TIRE AGE NCY

"Of 100000 miles of highway in
the United States, possibly IL per
cent are paved. The other SO per cent
have only a dirt surface Add to
this the fact that of the roads paved,
almost all are macadam or asphalt,
and are being rapidly ground out OF
existence by the new demands which
are being placed upon them, and it
is quite plain that we will have to
get busy"
Such is the opinion of Mr.. Gill, of
Philley & Gill, the local Firestone
truck tire agency.
Before the war we were perhaps
not fully aware of our inadequate
preparation. In those days, it is reck-
oned, we were paying cash penalty
of 1904 100000 year in connection
with the transportation of supplies
from farm to market. Nobody, as
far as know, has made an attempt
to cast up the account SINCE 1914;
and l hesitate even to guess at what
we are probably wasting now, with
the multiplied demands brought first
by the need of feeding our allies and
now of feeding almost the whole
world. The farmer is not failing,
either in California or anywhere else.
If anyone fails, it will be we who do
not provide the facilities that he alb
solutely must have in order that he
may put his time upon the business
of raising food, rather than transfer
ring it from country to city.
"a long, narrow road is better than
a short, wide one A given sum of
money will provide for a nfnefoot
concrete or brick roadbed one-third
longer than for a fifteen-foot road
bed, and will go exactly twice as far
as highway twenty feet wide. The
principle which is being emphasized,
and rightly so, by the committees en-
gagged in studying the subject, is to
get from somewhere to somewhere
rather than to be able to waddle more
or less between the terminals. The
cash goes to the end of the road.
"Shall we lag behind Europe in
these particulars? France especially
has showed the way-and l am not
PLAYING with words merelyt-o the

terrible havoc wrought by the most
contemplate of foes, and in spite OF
