Thanksgiving and Nationally

Minneapolis Journal-When the Pill
grim Fathers first set apart a day for
general thanksgiving, they probably
had no provision of establishing a
great national festival. Yet such it
has become. Among all the nations
the United States alone observes an
annual Thanksgiving Day. Other
peoples sometimes order it up as n
special moral dish.
1t is no small thing that upon this
day the hum of busy factories is sill
onced, and the wheels of industry be-
