electric ranges which are used on most
of our large ships. poor Charlie Noble
is fast being forgotten.
Formerly when n division of ships
went out for a full speed run ii was
the custom of the one which came in
first 10 bear broom proudly fastened
to the fore topmast TO show that she
had made a clean sweep. This is an
other custom which seems to have
been discarded too childish for our
modern and practical sailors.
OF course, there are many pic
turesque traditions which still remain,
and one OF the most attractive is the
flying of the homeward bound pennant.
Usually the mainmast flies small
ribbon of blue bunting with white
stars and a red and white stripe, the
insignia showing that ii is commanded
by a commissioned officer of the
navy. but when a ship has been in
foreign waters for a lengthy cruise,
and is returning home ii flies a much
longer pennant. sometimes several
hundred feet of bunting floating out,
as the homeward bound pennant has
a foot added to it's length for every
day the ship has been away. IL the
cruise has been one of special impor-
lance this pennant is often cut up and
divided among the officers and men

THANKSGIVING AT ITS BEST
City Boys and Girls Don't Make 40
Much of the Day as Do Their
Country Cousins.

The joys Of Thanksgiving are not
partaken in the fullness thereof by
many city boys and girls. They sim
ply know that it Is 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 anxiously looked for
ward to for weeks before it dawns In
it's celebration it differs from the ways
Of the city as widely as does day from
night. In the thickly populated towns
the religious aspect Of the holiday has
been lost sight Of to 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
the thousand and one pleasures city
life Is beset with.

Thanksgiving Time.

When brimming barns reward the work
filled year,
When fuel-piles and bins bring indoor
cheer,
When life and health have chung to those
we love,
The normal human heart will look above
And thank blessed Source for what He
sends
In basket, store and intercourse with
friends.
When through another year our nations
Has triumphed though the war-waves
madly roll;
When in our lives still live the patriot
fires
To fan the which each loyal heart aspires:
When we all unashamed can face the
world
And Stars and Stripes unblemished are
unfurled-
Then and then always shall we deem it
meet
To send aloft prayer as incense sweet
For grateful hearts to feel and tongues
to say
Feelings and words that fit Thanksgiving
Day.
Sing on! Gods goodness never can be
told

WITH TIE DAYS WORK DONE
Thanksgiving Day May Be Likened to
the Beginning of Long and
Pleasant Evening.

AS each Thanksgiving day ap-
proaches 1t becomes more and more
apparent to those who are in the habit
of meditating upon affairs in general
that the spirit of the occasion is one
to inspire individual sensation, and
that expression Of that sensation falls
short of the mark.
There is in the Thanksgiving season
ID sort of benign pause to the energies
Of the year. SubconsciousnesS Of
filed granares and of hay packed in
the barn loft, the cattle crunching in
the stalls, and the drapery of the trees
laid by for the approaching winter 1t
is the twilight of the year; the chores
are done and the men folks come
stamping at the doorstepA The dinner
is steaming on the table and soon, the
food eaten, we will settle down for the
long evening
1t has been big day. The men folks
have finished mighty harvest in Eu-
rope and come home. We give thanks
for those that come home because they
are the living symbols of the nations
courage; and for those that will not
come again save in the spirit, for they
have been TRANSPORTED in the flame of
the great conflict.
And there will be our thanks for the
stout hearts of American mothers who
bore in silence and fortitude the bur-
dens of their agonies; for these are the
symbols of the nations devotion to
pure ideals.

THANKSGIVING in
STRENUOUS TIMES

Thanksgiving has come down to
us thru the years from the time OF
the Pilgrim fathers. From a little
handful of God-fearing men and
women we have grown to the great
est nation of the earth. All thru
that growth, thru times of great
peril and periods of peace and Joy
we have held to this heritage of the
Pilgrims. 1t has run the gauntlet of
all human emotions, stood the test
and become an institution.
Thanksgiving of 1918 saw the ma
ton at war. Sons and daughters of
America formed that great legion
mustered in the cause Of right-yet
we were thankful Thankful that
we had these sons and daughters to
offer to just cause. Thankful that
we could offer our help to an OPP
pressed people as we had been thank
full to receive such help in earlier
days.
Thanksgiving of 1919 dawned on
victorious people. We gave thanks
that the slaughter and devastation of
war was over. We were thankful
mat Cne cause or right had been vim
dicated and that we had played our
part in that vindicatoin. Our hearts
were filled with Thanksgiving that
our returning sons and daughters
had been spared. Thankful, also,
that those who had made the
supreme sacrifice had been destined
to give their lives in the cause of
right.
Thanksgiving this year finds the
nation readjusting itself from the
extraordinary conditions of war. We
give thanks this year that the siren
GUS times which always follow great
wars have not seriously disturbed the
nation. We stand a united people.
Wonderful crops assure us food and
to spare for less fortunate ones. A
period of construction faces us,
gigantic tasks. and we give thanks
that we will be able to complete
them. Huge projects are in the
making and we are thankful that we
are people to whom it has been
given that we shall do mighty deeds.

NEW YORK.-Not until fifteen
shipping board vessels had met with
serious accidents some of them los

steering device for controlling such
vessels abandoned the congressional
investigating committee was told by
William R. Merton of Brooklyn for
eighteen months one of the chief in
vestigators for the shipping board.
| This device, the witness said, &C
| CURED by the shipping board under
blanket contract for all its yes-
| sells had been found faulty and dan
gerOus by experts but their reports
were ignored until protests from
ship captains flooded Washington and
forced action.
This Device, the witness testi-
fed, was installed at a cost Of
$1,000 each. The cost of installation
on all ships amounts to several mil
lion dollars and many more millions
will be required to take them OUT
The witness cited many cases of
oVercharging for repair work.
AT Norfolk, Va he said, "one
firm charged $161 to put an eighty
three cent hinge on a galley door.
The chief Blacksmith and mechanic
did the work
AT Charleston, S. c., 1000 cubic
feet of water, costing 80 cents from
the city, was supplied shipping board
vessels at $25."
William r. Morton, former special
Investigator of the Shipping Board
who prepared the case at Seattle for
the department of justice told of
case he worked up against the Sc
attic Construction and Dry Dock
company, which he said was ignored
by agents of the Department of JUS
tice. Morton said he found evidence
of ,shipbuilding contractors frauds.
'At Norfolk, Va" said the wit
ness, Il recall that there was a firm
called the Union Iron Works, whose
plant would be moved in a truck,
their whole personnel consisting of |
So men. However, they had So on
their payroll.
Il also found that there was a
large shipbuilding concern at Norfolk
which existed on contracts sublet by
the Union Iron WORKS.

Thanksgiving meals were things to
remember. Those were the good old
days when doughnuts were made as
big as bricks, and twas not thought
necessary to eat as many as six but
the doughnut came between meals,
and on Thanksgiving day they were
not greatly in demand.
For breakfast we always had
chicken with many 'fxins' and pam
cakes and sweet cider for dessert. It
was meal for all day, but not long
after noon we all gathered for the
feast, and it was small family that
did not muster at least twenty strong.
We all went home to grandpa's, the
last one of us. Commonly every living
member of four generations would be
together for that day. no matter how
scattered their homes might be-
after dinner there'd be enough out
door sport to raise an appetite for six
O'Clock supper, and after supper in
door games among the young people
till bedtime, but even the oldest were
dragged into the games until they were
tired out.
"There may be families that keep
up the old customs even yet, but I
wouldn't know where to look for them.

them they wouldn't be such as grand

How the Nootkas Entertained
Their Guests

come ashore. Then the Nootka squaws and the
tribal slaves would get busy unloading the
tanker boats from that time it was up to
them to see that the guests were very properly
entertained and abundantly supplied with food.
They would fill great wooden tubs or tanks with
the fish spawn and boil it with hot rocks Every
day would be Thanksgiving until the visit was
finished and the supplies were used up.
How would our Bingham county friends feel
to see their friends coming with their jitneys
loaded and send an ambassador in with piece
of white cloth to make arrangements for de-
livery Of their food supplies to be cooked for
them! As Thanksgiving time approaches we
look forward to being the visiting delegation to
supply the tank loads of good things to cook and
we send our ambassador to the houses to arrange
for the delivery of the meats. Then it is up to
our patrons to do the cooking and to arrange
as suits them best about who their guests shall
be and when they shall arrive.
AT this Thanksgiving time we hope that every
body will be Nootkas in having plenty of visitors
and plenty of food whole tank loads of it.
We are arranging for shiplOads of every kind
of meat and our jitney tanker will deliver it to
the homes of those who desire it. We shall
labor to make your Thanksgiving happy one.
