Few days in the calendar awaken
greater interest and pleasant memories
of the past and realization of the present
than our annual Thanksgiving Day.
We have greatly enjoyed 80 of these hal
lowed, bonored festal days, aud tht
friends of our youth that participated IL
those joyful, happy occasions, have near
ly all passed away, yet the day is still
filed with many anticipations realized
and its inspiration awakens deeper graft
tude for the innumerable blessings o
life as age seems to greatly intensif.
their appreciation.
Despite the unrest, unsettled problems
that confront NJ, we have great caus,
for joy and thanksgiving. Let the da!
be honored.
Mem'ry recalls those days of yore,
When we our cherished friends did meet,
While some loved forms We see no more,
Others have come for US to greet.
It's well to cherish scenes now past,
But in the present while we stay,
So long as time to us shall last
Wen not forget Thanksgiving Day"

Sir Andrew McPhail, distinguished
Canadian publicist, who wants the United
States to give Canada the northern end
of Maine, makes certain mistakes in his
premises. For one thing, he estimates
the area of Maine north of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad as 5000 square miles out
of the SO, 500 of the whole state. His es.
innate may be correct, but any school
boy who could lay ruler on map OF
Maine would estimate that area as about
40 per cent of the whole state, or approx.
imately $4,000 square miles. Another
mistake is in thinking that the territory
in question is ''of little value" to the
United States. But these are the least OF
his mistakes. With the kindest of neigh.
borly feelings toward our northern neigh.
Dor, 1t is not likely that Sir Andrews sug.
gestion will have serious consideration
In this generation.
