OBSERVED PIONEER DAY

We followed the regular course of
study all day except about the last
hour in the evening when we had
"reminiscences of frontier life, recount
ed exploits of Lewis and Clark es-
especially in Montana and made brief
mention of DR.. Whitman and his ia
nous ride from Walla Walla to Wash
ington D. C. to save Oregon to the
Union.
Also, mention was made of other
pioneers, famous and neal famous,
such as Daniel Boone Freeman, Joseph
Meek and Capt. Hunter.
Through an oversight the name of
Capt. Mullen was not mentioned. He
was one of Montana's famous pioneers
and his statue stands on the site where
formerly stood the Old Abode Fort

a beautiful Indian maiden was made
a part of the program. This practi-

The most realistic of our Pioneer
exercises, however, was a moor camp

that contained the remains of one
who laid down his life, he said, "This,

our pledge to Almighty God, when
we promised the world peace, on
Flanders Fields. This comrade, and

sufficient cause for thanking God.
The First Thanksgiving.
And so 1t was that the first day of
organized thanksgiving was set. The
whole little colony, in Its best buckled
shoes and high hats, with blunder-
busses across square shoulders, sailed
forth from the stockaded homes
to give community thanks for the free
dom of their stern lives.
Outside, the Indians crOuched be.
hind the frs and beeches, watching
and wondering.
From the Pilgrim colony, the custom
spread to others in the New England
states. In 1880 the Massachusetts, Bay
colony set aside a day for thanksgiv-
ing, and frequently thereafter, until
1880, when 1t became an annual festi-
val In the colony.
Connecticut appointed a day in
1889, and annually after 1647. except
in 1875. The Dutch in New Neither
lands set aside a day in 1914 and &C.
casiOnally thereafter. During the War
of Independence the Continental o
gress appointed one or more thanks
giving days each year, except in 1777.
President Washington set aside Thurs
day, Nov. 26, 1850, as a day of ma
tional thanks, and again in 1895 he
called the country together for such
a celebration. President Madison, at
the close of the War of 1872, appointed
a day.
In New York state, from 1917 on,
the festival was annual.
In some of the southern states a IA

FIRE AT HUTTIG
 CAUSES BIG LOSS
TWO BIG LUMBER MILLS DE. STROYED IN EARLY AFTER
 NOON.

Huttig May 31.--A loss estimated at more than $1 .000, ,000 was sustained to- day by the Frost-Johnston Lumber company of New Orleans when it's two big lumber mills were destroyed by fire. The blaze originated in the kiIns. which were overheated, shortly after l o'clock this afternoon. Within five minutes the flames had spread over practically the entire plant.
 Besides the two sawmills. both of which are of large capacity two dry ing sheds. the fuel house, 20,000,000 feet of cut lumber and the trans were destroyed, and the blaming mill was badly damaged. The plant covered an area of approximately 75 acres, the daily capacity of which was 30O.0OO feet
 When the fire broke out. all employ ees of the company numbering more than TOO men were put to work fighting the wIames The company had its own waterworks system. but the pressure was inadequate. Dynamite was used. but this did not check the flames

Town Is Endangered.

Sparks from the burning plant flew in all directions. and the entire town was endangered Several residences caught fire. but the flames were eXtin- guished before serious damage resulted.
 The flames rapidly ate their way through the buildings and leaped to the huge stacks of lumber. high wind assisted them in sprea ding, and greatly handicapped the fire fighters.
 At midnight the flames still were visible for miles They were leaplng 40 or 70 feet into the air. It is proba- ble the fire will not be extinguished for several days.
 Several directors of the Frost-John- ston Lumber compaay, who were at tending a meeting at St. Louis, left early tonight on special train for Huttig. They are expected to reach here before noon tomorrow.
 The company owns more than 6O,OOO acres of timber lands in this section, and 1t is considered probable the plant will be rebuilt as soon as possible. The plant was established about Is years ago and was one of the largest in southern Arkansas.

Those who failed to attend the ser vices at the Presbyterian church missed strong sermon on the text, 'sThe Love of Christ Constraineth Me words spoken by St. Paul.
 Does the love of Christ constrain you 10 do the things you do? If not why! Have you been avoiding the teachings of Christ and doing as you desire or are you guided and directed through your daily tasks by the love of Christ?
