The spirit of Thanksgiving was as manifest on the great holiday in the kinstitutions in Putnam as in the 1 homes where happy family. reunions took. place around generously laden dinner -tab1ss.
 At the county home for children, in 1 the Sawyer district, Mir. and Mrs. D. c. Park. superintendent and matron gave their 119 charges a joyous day, and anticipating what was in store l for them, the little people were astir as early as 5.S0 a. m.-and dinner time nearly eleven hours aWayi One of the l finest of Thanksgiving dinners was ] provided, and the whole menu was 1 constructed around two fine roast | pigs, made the basis of holiday feast | that the young people will long re- member.
 A variety Of vegetables, grown on | the county homo farm, apple sauce, | bananas, nuts and apples were in cluded in the array of good things that went to appease more than a hundred wonderful appetites. And there was i blueberry pie! This fairly melted away and the many, many piec, were none too numerous to meet the de- mand for them. The berries, inciden- 1 tally, were picked last summer by the children of the home. Though the l dinner was perfection itself, Mrs Park, very good housewife that she is, managed with tRe greatest success, to l perfect it without the use of sugar, which is practically unobtainabe for l the home. Moiasses and syrup are 1 being used as substitutes, the children seemingly preferring the inolasses.
 At the town farm, sthe nineteen in- mates were given d fine chicken din ner. They. too. had all the good things that go 10 make a great holiday. feast and tho joy of their day was added to l through a visit from Rev. and Mrs | c. C.. $.
