neer Infantry-recently returned from
France. He fought throughout the
Meuse-Argonne offensive. and says:
There 10 one lesson Americans can
tako from Frenchmen and that Is IN
the tolerance Of color. At no time

dered a public rejoicing with prayer
and praise. This was in October or
November, 1921. On July 80, 1923, was
held the second Thanksgiving, the first
ever appointed by a governor in an
authoritative way. On February %,
1881. there occurred in Boston the
first Thanksgiving celebration Of
which any written account remains
among the colonial archives. The first
regular Thanksgiving proclamation
was printed in Massachusetts in 1877.
The first Thanksgiving proclamation
ever issued by president Of the
United States was by George Wash

the custom spread to other colonies.

CUSTOM ONE OF THE OLDEST
Origin Of Thanksgiving as Great So.
clal and Religious Festival Lost
in Antiquity.

The great social and religious fes-
tival known as Thanksgiving" dates
back to the Pilgrims and Puritans of
New England. The sentiment Of graf
itude for favors granted is as old as
humanity, and ages before the Massa-
chusetts settlers were born mankind
was in the habit of expressing its
thankfulness by some form Of public
celebration. But the institution of
Thanksgiving as an annual festival of
thanks and praise for blessings re-
ceived at the hands Of the Great Au-
thor of our being had it's origin among
the founders Of New England.
For reasons which were good and
sufficient" unto themselves, the Puri-
tans abolished Christmas, and feeling
the need Of some other day to replace
1t, they instituted Thanksgiving day.

Royal Thanksgiving Bird.

The turkey began to take first place
at Thanksgiving feasts back In colonial
days. It was the wild variety that
won favor then--a fowl with a fine
flavor, but no longer known either to
commerce or the hunters. The mag
nificent bronze creatures that have
taken the place Of the wild forerunners
leave no reason to regret the latter's
disappearance. So handsome are these
high-bred birds that slaughtering them
to make holiday feast seems some
thing like crime. 1t is q crime whose
Nervousness Is forgotten when dinner

Thanksgiving
By EDGAR A. GUEST

For courage that we sorely need,
For strength to do the splendid deed.
For youth who made the sacrifice
And, smiling paid the bitter price
mat freedom asks of sturdy men.
Oh God. accept our thanks again.
To thee once more today we kneel:
Sad music Of the crash of steel
accompanies our prayers, and yet
Thy mercies everywhere are met.
And we are grateful for the youth
That boldly dared to guard the truth.
Oh God, who gave us sight to see
The way to serve, we pray to thee:
We thank thee for all mothers fair
Who gave their sons into thy care
And bravely hid their grief and pain
That liberty and truth should reign.
We thank thee for each noble heart
Ihat scorned to play the coward part:
we thank thee for the humblest lad
That In these bitter times is glad
To toll until wars flags are furled
10 make kindlier, better world.
For yield of tree and fruit and vine
Once more our gratitude is thine:
But In these days of dangers, we
NOW offer prayers of thanks to thee
FOR all the brave and loyal breasts
Wherein the love of honor rests.
Oh God, we thank thee for our youth
That still hold dear the ways Of truth:
We thank thee for their courage. and
Devotion to our native land;
We're thankful that our flag still CLEAN,
The emblem of mans highest dreams.
