old TALE RETOLD
Origin of the American Thanks.
giving Day.
VIII 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 its home in America. In
one way or another ii 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 suitable
place in which to build their homes.
they one day came upon some deserted
Indian huts, in which they found some
baskets filed 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 its growing watched
anxlously by the people of the little
colony. To their great joy, the har-
vest of the following October was a
bonntiful one. Governor Bradford or.
dered three days feast in celebration
thereof. Wild turkeys, geese, ducks
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 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.
er colonies, for in 1880 a public
Thanksgiving day was observed in
Boston by the bay colony, and again
in 1881.
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 long time afterward.
In 1889 Washington issued the ia.
nous Thanksgiving proclamation rec.
ommending Thursday. November 20.
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.

SCHOOL DISPUTES
SETTLED BY FIGHTS

A new method is said to be proving
a success in a Chicago school in cases
where schol children agree to disa-
gree to the extent that trouble is
brewing. In this particular school
22 nationalities are represented and
the principal, Miss A. NJ. Hogge, says:
Letting the boys fight out their
troubles is the best way in a school
such as ours. OF course the fights
must be fair. l never permit any
serious injuries. A black eye or two
is usually the limit" At the latest
quarrel Miss Hogge acted as second to
both combatants and also referee.
Time was called at intervals to enable
the combatants to rest and rinse out
their mouths. The "bully" of the
school was licked, which the referee
said was a good thing. The superin-
tendent of schools declared Miss
Hogge's method the most successful
ever tried in that school and he is
heartily in favor of it.

RAILROADS a BURDEN.

At the present rate the treasury
department is paying the peoples
money to the railroad operators al
the rate of over a billion dollars a
year. For the six months following
the "unscrambling," or turning back
to private owners, of the railroads,
the government will hand out $685.
100000, according to the interstate
commerce commission. Blame is put
on high wages granted the workers
by the railroad board. For the first
eight months of this year operating
expenses amounted to $3.50, 900, 900
as against S2,SOO,OOO,OOO for the
same period in 1919. Against this,
operating revenues amounted to only
$3.50, 100000 more than in the pre-
vious year. For August 1919 the net
revenue from operation was S1l2,-
100000 while for August 1920 there
was a deficit of nearly $124,O00, 900.

Inter.cnre Of the Garden.

A very common practice in the
State of Kentucky is to leave the gar.
den perfectly bare during the win.
ter months. The Department of Hor.
ticulture of the College of Agricul-
ture recommends that every farmer
should clean off the trash and rubbish
and SOW some cover crop, such as rye,
1t is rather late in the season for this
but the old adage holds that ut Is
better late than never" The objec-
tion raised to doing this is that they
have to store a few vegetables in a
pit and usually very common place
to make this pit is in the center of the
garden. SO far as making a pit is
concerned it would be convenient to
have it in the garden; but it is far
better to take it outside of the garden
and SOW some cover crop so that
something can be plowed under in
the.spring and help furnish humus to
the garden soil.

Lexington, Ky. Nov 22-With I'M
favorable prospects for such enor-

bean is coming into prominence as a
cash crop in Kentucky. The Agro-
nomy Department of the College of
Agriculture says that the Haberlandt
soybean seems to be the one that is
displacing all the other medium and
early varieties in this state, and since
there is a great demand for these
Haberlandt beans for planting in the
cornbelt states that cannot be suppl
ed, Kentucky should produce more
soybeans for seed. From the nature
of her soils and seasons, Kentucky
seems to be ideally located as CEN

Brood Sows Should BE Carefully
Selected,

Lexington, Ky. Nov. 22-The Col
lege of Agriculture recommends that
considerable care should be given in
selecting sows for breeding purposes.
Records show that on the average
sows will farrow and raise more and
better pigs in the second and subse-
quent litter than they do the first.
Since this is true it is usually a mis-
take to kill the mature sows that
have raised good filters unless there
Isl some good reason for discarding
her
1t is well to study the individual
very carefully before deciding to
breed her, and when she has raised a
good litter she should be further
developed and retained. After the
first litter of pigs are weaned the sow
will make an easy and fairly rapid
gain if properly fed and should con-
tinue in growth and weight right up
to the time she farrows the second
litter.
Considering the present price of
corn even tho pork has dropped in
price, the average farmer will do
we'll to produce a reasonable quanti-
ty of hogs.

Select and Care For Your Seed Corn.
Lexington, KY, Nov. 22-In the
spring of 1918 the farmers of Ken
lucky experienced an extreme short
age in seed corn. The College of Ag-
riculture urges at this time that the
farmers will prepare to take care of
their seed corn so that they will at
least bring thru the winter what they
have already saved. If seed corn has
already been selected in the field, it
should receive good care thruout the
winter in order that it will properly
develop when planted next spring.
Usually net more than one-half of the
ears selected at first will come up to
the desired standard after they have
dried out. Since this is true it is
necessary to save much more than
will be needed for planting in order
that it can be carefully selected next
spring.
Many tests of two lots of seed
which appears alike when gathered
have shown that where one of them
If promptly dried and properly kept
dry during the winter, the other left
in the crib, that the seed receiveing
good care will give considerable in
crease the following year. This in
creased yield has been brought about
due to the prompt drying and better
care through the winter. In one
case 400 ears were divided into two
equal parts; one being we'll taken
care of and the other placed in the
barn where corn is ordinarily kept.
The following year the well cared for
seed gave a yield on poor soil of ~
per cent more than the seed that
was left out of the crib, which yield
ed 81 per cent on the fertile soil,
Notwithstanding the fact that both
lots of seed terminated equally well.
II is possible to select seed corn
I'm the fall, leave ii out in the barn or
crib where it will be exposed to the
change of weather and have this corn
terminate well the next spring; but
this should not be taken as sufficient
evidence that leaving the corn in the
crib over winter is good thine
There is more to good seed than sim
ply termination, as the germ may
still be alive so that it will germinate;

so that the Civil Service Retirement
act signed by President Wilson last

gress,-90 days after the passage of
the measure. The selection of John s.
Beach of New York, who was one of
the most active workers for the re-
tirement legislation. as chief OF the
new division. Is especially gratifying
to the government employees through
out the country.
From 5000 to 1000 government
employees go on this pension roll at
once, to receive annuities of from $3.50
to $3.50. In the neighborhood of 800
900 men and women In all parts of the
United States, who are giving the best
years of their lives to the services oil
their country. at relatively small sal
aries, will thus be saved from want OF
charity in their old age. according to
the estimates of Representative Fred
erick Lehlbach of New Jersey,
chairman of the House committee on
reform in the civil service, who faith
cred the bill and mistakenly pushed IL
through congress-.
Just how many of the veteran en-
ployes of the government will be plac-
ed at once on the pension rolls canno
be determined as yet. on account oil
the provisions of the law which allow
certain workers to be retained In two
year periods during the next 10 years

annuitants are divided into six classes
and graduated by length of service to
