THANKSGIVING DAY AND WHAT
 ITS PURPOSES

In the traditional observance of Thanksgiving, the old timers used to go to church. It was fitting and ap- propriate. The normal minded per son must feel that in spite of all the
 sorrow in the world, the worst is due to human sin and ignorance,
 there is a heart of love in the uni
 verse that offers it's guidance and
 protection and help. To offer direct
 thanks to God for this care and for
 the many blessings of daily life, seems
 the natural thing which no one
 should neglect.
 In the rush and hurry of modern life, the church service is not so
 1t is likely to become so again some
 time. But in spite of all unlovely
 aspects, and neglect of the deepest
 meanings, there Is still much fine sentiment left in the old holiday. It brings together many widely
 separated families. People will trav- el long distances and go to much ex- pense to be together just a few hours again. They hate to be absent at a feast that additionally has as-
 sembled all the family group. 1nnumerab1e fathers and mothers are made glad as the boys and girls come troOp1ng back, bringing new I1fe
 and enthusiasm. The home corners
 find inspiration in the pilgrimage, and remember once more what they owe to parental care, and are moved to be true to the ideals learned in childhood.
 Thanksgiving Day promotes many
 acts of kindly charity. These have
 a value far beyond the food pro- vided by any holiday dinner. They give struggling people a new sense
 of hope and promote courage among the downcaSt.
 So let everyone make Thanksgiving Day a real feast of remembrance of all that is fine in ones past life and of charity for all who find life's struggle difficult.

INACCURATE HAIL OF FAME" FOR TREES
 IS LATEST REPORT

Washington Nov. 25.-A Hall of Fame for Trees has been inaugural ed, by the American Forestry Asso- citation for the recognition of famous tress and the location of the largest shade tress in the United States.
 An elm at Huntington, Indiana, long has been regarded as the larg- est shade tree in the country. This claim of course excludes the. Red- woods of California. Now Comes Du- mont Kennedy of Charlottesville, In diana, with a picture Of a tree on his property and the suggestion that it is larger than the tree at Hunting ton. This tree has spread of 99 feet while the Huntington Elm has a spread of only 76 feet. A tree in Birmingham. Mass, also makes the claim to being the largest.
 Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry Association. says:
 I've want a complete list of fa- nous trees now. There is the Liberty Tree on the campus of St. Johns College at Annapolic under which a treaty with the Indians was signed in 1852. The experts tell us that this tree is close to 800 years old. We all know of the William Penn Treaty Tree beneath which Washington took command of the Continental army. At Oberlin, O., is the elm on the cor ner of the campus under which was the first log house in which Ober- lin College was founded. The Ameri- can Forestry Association has listed many famous trees but it wants the list complete. If there is famous tree in your town the Association wants to know about it."

WHAT GOOD ROADS MEAN

The following taken from the Argus
Leader is so pertinent TO the situation
in Brookings county, that the Regis
ter publishes it as the testimony of
another witness in favor of the good
roads proposition:
ITO fully appreciate what good
roads mean" writes j. c. Thompson
to the Argus-Leader, zone ought to
visit the Pacific coast. Starting at
Seattle, one can go twenty-five miles
in most any direction and not get of
of cement roads. The good roads have
doomed real estate in that country.
Acres of ground twelve miles from
the city Of Seattle are selling as high
as $1,000, with nothing but pine
stumps and stone, and they are sell
ing! Lots 50x132 eight miles from
Seattle, north, southeast and west, on
the cement roads are selling for $500.
| remarked to some friends that was
riding with while there that if we had
the hard surfaced roads out Of Sioux
Falls in all directions the same as
they have there, that the highways
in all directions would be dotted with
small farms Of one to five acres. Out
in that country the men who work in
the shipyards, clerks in the stores,
conductors and motormen on the
street cars are building up homes on
from one-half to five acres, and prop
erty is advancing very rapidly. 1t
would to n after visiting that
country and seeing the possibilities
with the poor land that they have
there what results would be in Mime,
haha county If the bond issue would
carry, which it certainly ought to.
One can imagine what it would mean
to Sioux Falls to have a paved road
from Canton to Dell Rapids, from
Montrose to Rock Rapids, ami in fact
any direction that one might care
to go. There is nothing that will in
crease the price of farm land in Min
nehaha county as quickly as good
roads proposed by this bond issue,
and / speak as one having had a great
deal of experience with the farmers
and believe that they will not stand
in their own light by voting mo- on
the bond question. / hope that the
bond issue will carry with a very
large majority in Tuesdays election.
