THE FATE OF A TURKEY

His wild days are over,
And he is III the pot,
The gravy's oozing from his sides
For he is very hot.
Some days ago he strutted
Round the barnynrd door,
And the children fed him
The things he liked, galore!
One day we came and called him,
And caught him by the leg,
Then we took him in the woodshed
And there he lost his head.
"
Then we dipped him in some water
Which was very hot,
Then we grabbed him by the
feathers
And pulled out quite ! lot
We kept up pulling feathers
From his broad, fat back,
Then we grabbed him by his legs;
And we heard them crack.
We kept up pulling at his legs
Til they came off;
Then we took him in the house,
And wiped him with cloth.
Then we filed him full of stuffin',
And put him in a pot,
Then we put him in the oven
Which was very hot.
VIII
Then we put him on platter,
And set him on the table,
And to eat Il piece Of him
| am positive Pm able.

THANKSGIVING AT
GRANDFATHERS

Over the river and through the

TO Grandfathcr's house we go,
To eat and drink the best Of foods,
And watch the small pies grow.
And when the tables all set nice
And sure the turkeys there,
I'm sure Wen all have a helping

I'll eat as much as | dare.
And then We'll play lot of games
And have lot of fun,
Wen play with little baby James
And soon the day is done.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING
DAY

1t was in 1920
When the Pilgrims landed there,
On a little spot called Plymouth
And the ground was cold and bare
But soon the men had built
Many cabins out Of wood,
Where they placed their wives and
children,
While they tried to find them food
When the autumn crops were
harvested
And the things were stored away
The Pilgrims gave festival
For all who came that day.
"
Everyone was welcome,
And the Indians came with meat
And were met with in the colony
With a very friendly greet.
V
When the feast was over,
And everyone was fed,
They knclt down within the cover
And gave thanks to God o 'er head
VI
SO it was November, 1920,
Our first Thanksgiving day,
But now It's 1920, 300 years away,
From the time the Pilgrims had
Their first Thanksgiving day.

A THANKSGIVING TURKEY

A man once had a turkey,
That was growing very fat,
One night he caught this turky,
And to himself he laughed.
He took it to the woOdshed,
And picked up his axe,
Then he Strengthened out its head
And finished the rest with a whacll
At last stream of bloody blood
Flowed swiftly from its neck,
And as the blood flowed in the mud
He said, there was half a peck,
lie then took all its feathers Off,
And gave it to his wife,
And with a little cough
She cut its legs off with d knife,
V
She laid it in the rooster
And piled the dressing around,
Then put it in a good hot oven,
And cooked it good and brown.
VI
And when she put it on the table
That all were assembled around,
Especially one fat girl named
Mabel,
IN sure her share was found.

Then after this great dinner was

And all were giving thanks,
Suddenly out called Mabel

THE DESTINY OF TOM

The turkey sizzled in the pot
His careirec life was over,
And there he laid a-boiling hot
Beneath the roaster's cover.
The other day in all his pride,
10 strut around was able
But now he's lying on his side,
Upon our dining table.
Surrounded now by friends and
host,
And children, with glee misguide,
Poor Tom has given up the ghost
In death he is divided.

the people get better leaders than

Referring to the reception by
he people Of news of the choice of
candidates, he explained the disap-
pointment felt by both parties,
basing his assertion ON the COM
posite opinion of many persons
with whom he had discussed the
matter. 1t is his belief that they
miss the strong, magnetic, fearless
leadership that characterized The
odore Roosevelt, Charles Evans
Hughes, and Woodrow Wilson. He
expressed his faith in the ability
of the candidates to rise to the
occasion and further stated that
there are thousands of men cap
able of filling we'll the office of
President of the United States.
The total absence of vital issues
in the present campaign was noted
by the speaker, who On this ac-
count characterized this period as
another "era of good feeling"
when political thinking has in a
measure been standardized. Both
Democrats and Republicans favor
the League of Nations with reser-
vations, both have commendable
labor planks and deal with public
issues in practically the same way.
He bade the people have faith in
themselves, faith in the nation,
and assured the women that they
will soon vote.
The speaker was introduced by
DR.. Joseph H. Odell, director of
the Service Citizens, who express
ed the belief that the audience
would be unable to guess to what
political party the speaker be-
longed since privous to the adop
tion of the 18th Amendment he
was a Prohibitionist.

institution. After an extensive
concert tour through Belgium,
Holland, Sweden, and Norway, he
came to America and established
himself in Philadelphia with

GARDEN CLUB ILLUS

Current Issue of Club Leader
Features Good Work of
Newark Garden Club

In the current issue of the Del
aware Boys and Girls Club
Leader, the official publication of
the clubs throughout the State,
the Newark Garden Club is used
as an illustration to point out the
effectiveness of establishing club
groups which meet regularly under
the direction of their own officers.
The article follows:
"The Newark Garden Club of
twelve members meets once each
week in the public school build
ing under the management of its
own officers. In the beginning,
Miss Agnes P. Medill, County Club
Agent, called the members to-
gether and directed the organiza-
tion work. Harry Mcdonald, local
teacher of vocational agriculture,
was secured by the community as
the local club leader. At. the con-
clusion of the meeting Mr.. Nc
Donald accompanies the gardeners
to their plots on a tour Of inspec-
ton. Added interest is taken be-
cause the boys desire to have bet
ter gardens than the college stu
dents who have demonstration
plots on an adjoining lot.

LEADERSHIP DISCUSSED
BY EMINENT DIVINE
Bishop Mcdowell Tells What
Constitutes Essentials of
Success

A remarkably clear expoSlUlOn
of what constitutes the essentials
of leadership was given by Rev.
erend William F. Mcdowell on
Monday evening at Wolf Hall, in
the course of one of the series of
lectures given before the Summer
School by the Service Citizens.
Declaring that the success of
any venture does not depend on
any one thing but upon the har-
monious action.of many things, he
warned against laying the stress
of leadership upon the leaders.
In lieu Of a definition FOR a leader
he gave what he called a composite
description-"one who has a def
mite goal in view, knows the way
to that goal and knows also how
to carry others with him to that
goal"
He drew sharply the distinc-
tion between ability and leader
ship, which he asserted, are often
confused. He pointed out the
essentials of leadership several of
which, he said, are so obvious that
many have forgotten that they are
essential.
Superior knowledge in the realm
of education, religion, politics or
watever field calls for leadership,
constitutes the supreme advant-
age and the first right to that posi-
ton. This in the speakers opin-
ion is the first essential of sue
cessful leadership.
The second, is the ability and
disposition to CO operate with
others in the field in which leader
ship is exercised. Many, he said,
of distinguished ability to achieve
in solitary grandeur, are prevent
ed from ever reaching the goal by
their inability to work with others.
All of the great leaders of the
world, he pointed out, have been
of the shepherd" type, those who
can lead and guide as no one of
the military kind can possible do.
He urged rigid self analysis to
determine whether or not his hear
ers have the ability to cooperate
with others, since all are in some
particular, leaders, and all are
followers.
Upon this point the speaker
dwelt at some length, illustrating
with vivid narrative.
The fourth essential, the WORTH
ness of motive, he designated as
the pit-fall for so many ,would-be
leaders who in the face of criti-
cism, lose early in the struggle,
their motive power, a power not
big enough to carry them and their
followers on to the desired goal.
The fifth essential which marks
successful leadership is that of
modesty and humility which is
able to recognize in others in the
same realm of endeavor ability
equal or greater than ones own.
The type of leader who can "strut
sitting down" will never inspire
