THANKSGIVING.

BY Marion E. Chaoe, Aged 10. Piiger. Neb.
In England, at Yorkshire, a little
colony Of people, later called Phi
grins or Puritans," lived. They
were compelled to go to the king 5
church, They didn't like this kind
Of worship, SO they met III d church
OF their own. The king had put SOL
diers on guard. If they were found
the families were often separated and
put i'll prison.
When it was no longer safe 10
meet in a church they met in the
peoples homes. Still they were
often caught and imprisoned. After
a time they became a little wiser
and didn't keep light They also
didn't sing or offer services, laugh
or chat together about the king and
his men, as they would be apt to
De caught and taken away and pun
shed.
At last they held a meeting and
decided to leave England and go to
Holland. They had hard time to
get away, but at last succeeded.
Atter being in Holland time they
we're surprised 10 see how their chii-
Gren took up the Dutch ways in
both dress and manners. Their par
ents were afraid that they would for
Iet their English customs. They
-oon began planning, and on Sep
lcmber q. lo2Q, set sail for America
they started in two ships, the
NDeedwell and the MayAower. In
the two ships they carried l20 men,
tomen and children. At SEA the
optedWell sprung a leak and was
forced 10 return. The company
numbered 100 after leaving 20 on
5hore. At last they landed at Plym-
Juth Rock, December q, 1920
They worked very hard at last
succeeding IN building house large
enough for all By spring 81 OF the
Pilgrims had died At one time the
living we're hardly able to bury the
dead
In the spring they had built seven
more houses, fortress on top OF a
dill and had cleared 20 acres of land
Since some Of the Indians were
kind the kind ones showed the Pill
grlms how to plant corn and other
*hings, as we'll as showing them how

stone stoves and to weave mats.
That tall the harvest was plentiful
and they thought they would set a
day Of thanksgiving and have feast
The Indians were invited, too. They
brought turkeys, wilk game and pop

tionship by those handling the bust

RULING HELPS
TAX PAYERS
Hundreds of Millions Saved
Them by "Cost-or-
Market" Decision

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3i.-The fall OF
prices throughout the year was recog-
nized and saving Of hundreds OF
millions OF dollars. 1t is estimated, ef-
fected for the business taxpayer in an
internal-revenue decision approved by
d. f. Houston. secretary Of the treas
ury.
The decision Will permit income
tax returns for 1920 to include inven-
tory returns based on "cost-or-mar-
ket prices, whichever is the lower,
without the specific permission here
tofore required. The decision was in
line with the original purpose OF the
internal revenue act, although IL was
not realized at the time Of passage OF
the law that situation as severe as
the present would arise.
The action Of the secretary was
taken in a technical amendment to
| the Income tax regulations, providing
that a taxpayer may, regardless OF
his pas tpractice, adopt the basis OF
cost or market, whichever Is lower,
for his 1920 inventory, provided a dis
| closure Of the fact, and that IL rep
resents a change, is made In the re-
turn" Heretofore this permission was
granted only under extenuating cir
cumstances and upon application,
where II was found cost valuation
was unfair and injurious to the tax
payer The regulation further pro-
Vides that after the taxpayer has in
dicated the basis Of valuation he in
tends TO use, changes can be made
only after permission is secured from
the commissioner"
In a suppllment and explanatory
decision. also approved, it is provided
that the term market" means the
current bid prices OF the goods be-
| ing inventoried, and that this method
fof valuation may be applied, "(a) 10
| goods purchased and on hand; (b) Ia
| the basic elements Of cost in goods In
the process Of manufacture innate
| rials, labor and burden, and (c) tC
| finished goods on hanG," exclusive
| however, Of goods on hand or in pro
cess OF manufacture for delivery upOT
sales contracts at fixed prices entered
into before the date Of the inventory
which goods must be inventoried al
cost.
Special provision is made for abnor
nal cases Of selling below market and
cases where no open market quota
tiOns are available. In such cases th'
regulations read that where no opeI
market quotations are available, tn
taxpayer must use such evidence Oi
a fair market price at the date oi
dates nearest the inventory as ma,
be available.
