MR.. VERNON DALHART.

The music lovers of Philip who
avalled themselves of the invita-
tion to attend the concert by Mr..
Vernon Dalhart and Miss Aderyne
Hood at the Gem Theatre Septem-
ber 2lst, will never forget the ex-
perience.
The affair was brilliant one SOC

sent We're those whose names we
have come to associate with things
musical.
Mr.. Dalhart announced that he
would sing the next number in
unison with a Recreation Of his
own voice on the New Edison
which stood upon the platform,
and we wereskeptical To attmpt
to match that lovely voice with a
sound produced mechanically by a
thing of steel and wood. 1t was
preposterous.
When the first notes of the song
came TO our ears we were waiting
breathlessly. And we continued
breathless througout the evening.
At first Mr.. Dalhart's voice and
th voice from the oak cabinet be-
side his came to as indistinguish-
ably blended-the voices SO COM
pletely one that no ear could de-
tect their duality. Suddenly we
realized that Mr.. Dalhart's lips
had cesed to move, though his
voice went gloriously on. He sang
again, and again stopped. Only by
watching his lips could we tell
whether his voice came to us from
his throat, or from the magic box

old TALE RETOLD
Origin of the American Thanks
giving Day.
Will Bear Repetition Annually as
Something of Which Every
Citizen May Be Proud.

The ancient Thanksgiving did not,
as some have fancied, skip down the
ages to find it's home in America In
one way or another it seems to have
always been observed. Throughout
Europe, before the Reformation, special
days were set apart as days of re.
ligious thanksgiving. The American
Thanksgiving day is traced back to the
Pilgrims.
Shortly after the landing of the Pill
| grims, while searching for a suitable
| place in which to build their homes,
they one day came upon some deserted
Indian huts, in which they found some
| baskets filled with corn. From this
| supply they succeeded in saving enough
| to plant their first years crop.
In the spring Of 1921 the seed corn
was sown and it's growing watched
| anXiously by the people of the little
colony. To their great joy, the har-
vest of the following October was
bountiful one. Governor Bradford or
dered a three days feast in celebration
ILCACoI. w iu luIhCyo, SCCSC,
and water fowl, corn bread and vege-
tables no doubt formed the chief con-
stituents of their feast, not to speak
of the five deer brought in by a tribe
of friendly Indians.
This festival is supposed to be the
first real Thanksgiving day from which
we date our celebration. This cele-
bration, although without doubt the
origin of our national Thanksgiving
day, may be looked upon as merely a
local observance, being held by the
Plymouth colony only. They were the
forerunners of less local celebrations
In Massachusetts and gradually in 9th
err colonies, for in 1880 public
Thanksgiving day was observed in
Boston by the Bay colony, and again
in 1851.
During the next fifty years there
were as many as % public Thanks
giving days appointed in Massachu-
sets, usually in October or Novem-
Der, after the gathering in of the har-
vests, or to celebrate some public
benefit. 1t did not become a regular
holiday until a long time afterward
In 1889 Washington issued the IA
nous Thanksgiving proclamation rec
ommending Thursday, November &c,
as a national day to be devoted to
prayer and Thanksgiving. Washing
tons example was followed by other
Presidents.
In 1868 President Lincoln appointed
the fourth Thursday in November as
the national Thanksgiving day. Since
then the day has been observed an
nually without interruption.

LET ALL Rejoice
Taking Courage From the Spirit
of the Pilgrims.
Surely the People of Today Have
More Causes for Thankfuiness
Than They Possessed.

To us it certainly seems as though
the Pilgrims had little to be thankful
for. If the settlers in Plymouth could
sacrifice the sacrifices of thankSgiv-
ing III 1921, what. pray, ought we to
do in his year of our Lord? Think of
the blessings which we enjoy as the
cOmmonplaces of the day, of which
the Pilgrims never even dreamed!
vast territory mastered, surveyed and
thickly settled--abundant treasures of
farm, mine. forest and mill poured out

are created equal'-free POLITICAL edu-

hitherto unknown and unparalleled,
successfully established-a higher
grade of material well being, wider
diffusion of culture, noDler ideal of
happiness, a finer conception of de-
mocracy, achieved for all the people,
than the world has ever seen before!
1t is true, of course, that not all Ills
have been suppressed, nor all blessings
won. But because we have not yet
achieved everything is no reason why
we should not be glad that we have
achieved much! Because we have not
yet won the goal of life is no reason
why we should not rejoice that we

quered and battles won. |

THANKSGIVING AT ITS BEST
City Says and Girls Don't Make as
tAuch of the Day as Do Their
Country Cousins.

Tn" ioyS Of Thanksgiving are not
u&r,aEcn in the fulmess thereof by
many city boys and girls. They SIM
ply know that it is a holiday, when
the pleasures and trials of school life
are temporarily laid aside, when
churches are open for those who want
to return devout thanks for the mani
fold blessings with which they may
have been showered, and when the
larder fairly groans with uncommon
delicacies.
1t is in the country that the manifold
blessings of Thanksgiving day reach
their full fruition. 1t is not a mere
episode there, as it is in the city, but
an event that is dnXiously looked for
ward to for weeks before it dawns. In
its celebration It differs from the ways
of the city as widely as does day from
night. In the thicllly populated towns
the religious aspect of the holiday has
been lost sight of to a great extent,
and in its place there has grown up the
habit of feasting and making merry.
1t is time for family gatherings, for
balls, for football, for theatricals and
he thousand and one pleasures city
life Is beset with.

PEOPLE MUST HAVE TURKEY
Always Willing to Pay High Prices for
the Chief Feature of Thanks
giving Dinner.

New York spends about 100000
on its Thanksgiving dinner, with tur-
key as its chief feature. The deal
ers say If it cost dollar per pound
they would sell just about as many
Turkey on Thanksgiving is traditional
in America, and the farmer knows it,
He fattens his best birds and saves
.Aem for this day. Without realizing
it the farmer thus corners the mar
ket until the price gets high enough
Then he sells. But the people will
have their turkey and this year the
dealers eXpecL a greater demand than
ever, although they are selecting
smaller birds in order to meet it.
The great part of the city's turkey
supply comes from the Middle West
Indiana. Ohio and Michigan. Mary
land and Kentucky send large consign-
ments. This year turkey specials"
are run from st. Louis. A year ago
one of these trains brought $4,000
birds for the local market
Vast numbers of turkeys are raised
in Missouri and Texas. The product
of the latter state, where the birds
feed on sage and sunflower seeds, is
highly regarded. According to reports,
however, the output of both of these
sections has been effectively cornered
this year.

NEW TALC MILL, JOHNSON
Business of American Mineral
Co. Will Increase VermOnt's
Present Lead as Tale State

The Burlington Daily News says
The State of Vermont, which furnishes
a greater portion of tale than any othel
State, will increase its production on &C
count Of the new mill erected by the Amer
lean Mineral Company IN this town al
an appropriate cost of $4,000 with a pro-
ducing capacity OF 1875 tons per day.
Last May, the American Mineral Com
pany broke ground for their new mil
which is located on the Boston & Maine
railway at Johnson. 1t is two hundred
and fifty feet west of the present mill
which has. been producing, for several years
finished product at the rate of 20 tons per
day. But mills will have a daily total
production of about 200 tons or an increase
from 10000 ton per year to over $4,000
tons and places the American Mineral
Company as one of the largest tale pro-
ducing companies in this country
The new mill is constructed on the silo
plan having six silos with capacity Of
300 tons each or 1900 tons storageYof fin
ished product. In addition storage or
rock bin capacity of 5000 tons making a
total storage of 5000 tons. The mill is
equipped with the latest rock crusher,
Burr mill and roller mill machinery togeth-
err with conveyors, separators etc. Both
mills are electric driven. Arrangements
have been made for an additional $40 H.
P. with the Morrisville Light & Power
Company.
The American Mineral Company has its
own mine covering about 500 acres of the
finest tale produced in this country and
supply considered inexhaustible. Mining
is done much on the plan of coal mining
and in the case of tale the deeper the
better.
Last July change in the personnel was
made and Claude B. Ace, was appointed
Treasurer and H. A. Macbeth, General
Manager. This change under the direc-
tons of President, F. S. Rix, of New York
who has been connected with the Company
since its incorporation in 1904, has been of
benefit and with the addition of the new
mill, places the American Mineral Com
pany one of the leading tale mining and
producing concerns in the United States.

week from New York to inspect the new
mill which will be in full operation about
