AMERICAS FIRST THANKSGIVING

in the center of each rude table a
great basket of wild grapes, which,
they had found growing in abundance
in all that region, and plums and nuts
of all kinds.
This first Thanksgiving feast was
served early in November, 1921. In
1865 l was living in Hartford, Conn.
President Andy Johnson had been
persuaded to appoint a national
Thanksgiving day as Lincoln had
done; but with his usual contraries
set the 9TH of December for the day.
Several of the New England govern
ors, tired of waiting for him, had ap-
pointed the usual feast for the last
Thursday of November. Some gov
ernors issued another proclamation
changing the day to December, others
would not; and so some states had
two feast days; one state, the Other
national. 1t was vexatious thea; it is
laughable now; and it was lust like

THE OBSERVER.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1920-11-26

Edward Winslow, one of the Pill
grim Fathers, in his account of the
first genuine Thanksgiving day of
England says: Our harvest having
been gotten in our governor sent four
men out 'fowling,' so that we might
after special manner rejoice together
after we had gathered the fruit of
our 1abors. The four in one day kill
ed as much fowl as, with little help
besides, served the company almost
week. At which time, among other
recreations, we exercised our arms,
many of the Indians coming among
us, and among the rest their greatest
king, Massasoit."
From another account week now that
the feast was prepared in the large
kitchen of Dame Brewster, wife of
William Brewster, their ruling elder,
ali the preacher and pastor they had
for some years; he was university
man. and well versed in the scrip
lures. But the chief cook for the oc-
casion was the spritely and capable"
Priscilla Molines, who afterwards be-
came the wife of John Alden, as the
poet Longfellow has so charmingly
told us in "The Courtship of Miles
Standish," in which the bold warrior
Miles Standish was so faint-hearted
that he sent young John Alden to
propose" for him, and the quick
witted French Walloon girl (whose
father had joined the Pilgrim church
IN Holland), limited to the dull head.
ed John that he speak for himself
All accounts agree that Priscilla Mo-
lines had the French ability as cook
and for that memorable occasion she
is credited with having served up a
meal we all might enjoy today, al
though she had no Quick Meal range
with which to do it. The account tell:
us she served roast turkey dressed

Summoning all the pathos possible

writer is for the way that will do it

connected with it with the least dis
appointments, loss, hardships and

1T would appear that with presi-
dent favorable to reclamation and a
partially organized west, and with
the south getting itself into shape.
that money could be borrowed from
the United States government under
some plan that will be worked out
during the coming year. This would
be bulwark of strength to lean upon
and when the state gets into shape
by the passing of such laws as will
protect everybody, we will then have
doubled barrel gun. And when pri-
vate capital comes along with posi-
tive assurance that it can deliver the
goods, that looks good to us, too.
European Debt Would Suffice.
Congressman Smith said the
other night that the foreign coun-
tries owed the United States ten
billion dollars, and that some of
our prominent statesmen were for
forgiving the debt and wiping it
off, in the name of humanity. I
beg to take an entirely different
view from those great philan-
thropists who are anxious to give
away something they do not own.
feel this way: That the ten bill
lion of dollars now outstanding,
would make homes for every SOL
der and sailor that went out to
protect the honor of the flag, and
it would complete all the irriga-
ton enterprises and put the west
in possession of its own. This
also applies to any other portion
of the United States. So, as far
as the writer is concerned, he
wants that money as quickly as it
can be paid back. Even the in
terest on ten billions of dollars
would solve our problems.
There are so many tremendous
questions and so little organization,
and so little unity of action; so many
conflicting, and, in some instances,
disturbing opinions, that it is very
hard matter to get this great and
wonderful reclamation on to broad
working basis. However, we are
! nearer to it than we have been before
There are more real men and women
thinking about this subject than ever
before, and with the outlook from
promises made by those who will
soon be in positions of great au-
| thority, it looks as though reclama-
ton were we'll started. 1t is long
trail, but if honestly followed and
the rules of common sense and bust
ness applied to it and personalities
forgotten, with all our people united
under the guidance of those who know
and are dependable in every sense Of
the word, it looks to me that in very
few years, we, who have come to thi'
new country to work out our saliva
ton, are in fair way to see our aim:
and hopes put into constructive &C
ton, which means a great reclama
ton policy whereby all the water:
going to waste will be stored, and thu
acres that have heretofore blistereo
in the sun will be converted into pros
porous farms under the ownership o
a contented and happy people"

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. IL
The fate of thousands of civilians
left in Sebastopol in the bolshevih
triumph, worried the European diplo-
mats here today.
General wrangei arrived late yes
terday with nearly 10000 troops. He
had 10 plans to announce.
French representatives confirmed
reports that they had threatened red
authorities with reprisals If harm
came TO the civilians.
Military evacuation OF the entire
Crimean peninsula was complete to-
day, bot thousands of civilians were
left in Yalta, Theodosia and other
cities.
Soup kitchens have been Installed
here to provide food for the most

belonging to the French army were
filed with homeless men and women
arriving from Sebastopol.
The military neatness of the bar
racks were upset by the visitors
whose van-colored bundles strewed
the floors. Refugeed 1olled about the
narrow streets despairing.
The overcrowded city could provide
little space for the new corners, prop
erty, those who could not pay and
thousands still occupied the ships
which removed them from the Crimea-
There was fear among those who
escaped the red troops, intoxicated by
their success would break away from
the restraint of their commanders and
plllage the ancient towns in which
priceless goods remained.
The evacuated cities were reported
to have seethed with panic in the last
hours before the reds swarmed into
them.
Wounded men struggled back from
the front, begging for assistance IN
reaching surgical help. Men wearing
their best clothing and dragging box
asnd bundles of hastily collected
yaluabIes crowded in the direction OF
the wharves, seeking passage. Women
and children were crushed in the
crowds flocking toward the water
front AS the ships edged away from

gazed dun,bly after the fortunate ones.
