LET US GIVE THANKS

Thursday, November "A, has been
designated by the ruler Of our country
as the day upon which we are to give
thanks to the Ruler of the Universe
to the Maker and Giver Of all things.
We will go TO church, eat our turkey
and spend day free from the cares
of life
The fires In our homes will burn
brightly, and the JOY in our hearts
will be supreme.
But why will it be so?
How many Of us will give serious
thought to those incompatible bles-
sings for which we should render our
profound and grateful homage to
Deity?
We live in a land of peace and
plenty, yet the world around us Is
torn, and bleeding, and on bended
knees of supplication, earnestly plead
ing for the commercial and political
restoration that means life and liberty
to them.
We have health and happiness,
while many other nations of the earth
are bowed under the weight Of disease
and hunger, and are groaning in the
depths of despair.
We have education and enlighten-
ment while millions in other lands
are growing to maturity under the
blight of ignorance and superstition.
Peace and plenty-health and hap
piness-education and enlightenment.
What more could mortal Christian
desire?
With all Of these we have been
abundantly endowed by the Creator
Of the heavens and the earth.
1t is because Of His great love for
US that He bestows these wonderful
blessings upon us.
A life of love and venerdtion would
be but slight recompense for even one
OF these precious gifts.
AS we receive, St should we bestow.
Let us give thanks.

Frank Mace aged father of Mrs.
Don Brodie, died at the home OF his
daughter last Monday at the Brodie
place in Surprise Valley. Mr.. Mace
had been aiing for some time. La
dies of the White River Chapter Of
the Eastern Star have been assisting
Mrs. Brodie in many ways in caring
for her father during his illness.
The Pioneer is quite bit late this
week owing to the fact that we had to
set the delinquent tax list, had to eat
turkey, and attend wedding, and on
top of all this our light plant ia still
out of commission and we had no
lights SO that we could work nights.
However we will try to get back to our
regular schedule again next week.
John Sturdevant who lives just east
of town was hooked by cne of his
cows Wednesday evening with the re
suit that one OF his eyebals was dis
located from its socket. Tie was i'm

sight of tht eye was injured, but it
was mighty narrow escape for him
to say the least.
George Bailey who lives up Cody

went to fill an oil stove while it was

The house from which we get our

our continued story all balled up, and
we have had many complaints on that
account. Well, all we could do was
to lay the blame on the other fellow.

number Of twenty-five had assembled
to witness the beautiful ring ceremony
that united these young people in the
holy bonds of matrlmony. Rev. E.
G. Salter, pastor of the Wood Con gre
gational Church, spoke the words
that tmade Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeland
man and wife. The bridal couple
we're attended by Miss Winfred Hook
ing as bridesmaid, and Mr.. Dallas
Moore as groomsman. Little Eliza
beth Cleayer acted as ring bearer,
and Varble Tuell, the brides Youngest
brother, as flower boy.
The room had been especially ar
ranged for the ceremoney and was
decorated with autumn leaves, chrys-
anthemums, white wedding bell and
palms, and the effect was very spleas-
ing.
The bride wore most beautiful
gown of white satin trimmed with
white beads, she also wore white shoes
white gloves and string Of pearls
and long bridal veil. Un this oc-
casion she also wore a white cashmere
shawl that had been worn by her mo-
ther and her grand mother when they
were wed, and that had been a family
possession for the past seventy five
ears or more. She also carried a
large boquet of chrysanthemums.
The bridesmaid wore a most becom
ing and beautiful pink satin gown
" tn silver lace and carried boquet of
Ichrysanthemums,
The little ring bearer wore very
pretty dress of pale blue silk.
The groom and the groomsman each
wore the conventional black with
white chrysanthemum in their coat
lapels.
,, Little Varble 1uell wore a very
pretty suit Of black velvet, and car
ried autumn leaves.
The bride is the oldest daughter OF
MIR. and Mrs. P. V. Tuell and has liv
ed in Wood for the past six years.
She is we'll known both here and in
the western part of the county, and
he friends are legion. She made
very pretty bride,and her friends wish
for her nothing but the good things
life.
Tne groom is engaged in the rug
! manufacturing business at Ottawa
Kansas, and appears to be v.rv sen
sible young business man.
After the ceremony, congratula-
tions were offered by those present,
after which all adjourned to the living
room where the bride cut the wedding
cake and all present partook thereof.
The bride was the recipient OF many
very useful and beautiful gifts con-
ssting Of silver, cut glass, hand paint
ei china and needle work.
The Pioneer joins their many friends
of Wood and the Rosebud country in
wishing these young people all the
happiness and prosperity that kind
providence can bestow on them.

LET'S ALL SUPPORT GOV. BONE

Now that the governor has been chosen it is hoped other and minor
 positions will be filled in order. The average Alaskan is keenly interested
 in politics; as he is in other affairs of the territory. It is hoped that the defeated factions will combine in the
 long for MT. Bone; lend him every aid possible to fill the position so
 that the interests of the territory will h0t suffer. Alaska is occupying a conspicuous place in the eyes of the powers that be and with concentrated
 efforts and whole-hearted cooperation
 from every citizen, organization and
 faith the coming few years offer splendid opportunities for the terri
 tory to grow and develop, to the end | that the substantial work of Alaska
 will be recognized and the forty
 ninth star placed in a prominent posi-
 tion with the balance of the lights forming the glorious galaxy now com posed of only forty-eight stars
 To bring about this luminary phe-
 nomenon it will be necessary to or ganize into one large get-to-gether and pull-together party The long drawn-out contest is over; Bone has been appointed; it is up to all of us to smile and forget and unite and work for the good of Alaska. MT. Bone, we are with you, from now on."-An- chorage Times.

FICTION IN BIOGRAPHIES

V. Stefansson struck a live note when he said that one of the most widely read fictions is that part of the ordinary geography dealing with conditions of the northern portion of this continent. He pointed out that statements to the effect that the northland is a region of ice and snow and capable of producing little, if anything, worth while, is mythical He has been telling the people in the center of this continent and in Europe that northern Canada, includ- ing Yukon, Mackenzie and such re- gions and also Alaska, are possessed of great wealth in mineral, agricul- ture, fisheries, timber and grazing lands. Dr. Alfred Thompson, mem Der of parliament for Yukon, made lengthy speech in the house of commons recently in which he spoke of similar lines. The production by
 
 the possibilities of these regions, but too few hear the facts in the case.
 The younger generation in regions far from the north are spoon-fed in many schools from old out t-of-date geographies which abound with fic- tion of the kind to which Stefansson refers.
 It is time school superintendents school boards and others throughout this continent and other parts of the world were prodding up geo. graphers and publishers of such text books as shape the ideas of the rising generation
 What hope can these rich north land territories have of receiving re. cruits for population if the youth of the continent be brought up with the impression these regions are for bidding and unfit for home-making and the pursuit of profitable occupa- tions.

Latest returns indicate that the
states total crop will not far exceed
%, 900 barrels. This is less than the
estimate of o. G. Malde, Tomah who
was for several years in charge of
the cranberry experiment station
at Wisconsin Rapids. Mr.. Malde's Oc-
tober estimate was $4,000 barrels. The
crop in 1920 was $4,000 barrels.

water raking is the logical way to
harvest the fruit. On flooding the
marsh the berries are brought to the
surface. Indians take long water
rakes and scoop the berries rapidly
into piles. Other local shippers favor
handling the crop dry, arguing that
the berries ship better. Results show
that, whatever the keeping qualities
Of the water raked crop, the expense
of harvesting is considerably less than
by the slower method.
''The Wisconsin cranberry acreage
is steadily increasing" said Mr.. Searls
Probably 2,700 acres are planted to
cranberries in Wisconsin. Due to the
fact that full crop is not obtained
until the fourth year after planting,
and to the need for clearing off and
resanding marshes that have become
very weedy, only 1000 acres are in
production this year."
While 2,7OO acres represents the
total area growing cranberry plants,
nearly ten times this acreage is used
to furnish water and drainage for the
fields proper. Few individuals in Wis
consin have had the hardihood to
tackle cranberry growing as a private
enterprise. The expense and delay in
getting profitable crops have made it
necessary to form companies with
enough financial resources to develop
tracts and await beIated profits.
Yield at Low Mark
] The 1921 cranberry harvest in the
marshes of the central district a.
mounts to $4,000 barrels. The fields
about Elm Lake, Cranmoor and To-
NAH were all affected by last springs
late frosts and the dry weather of last
summer. These drawbacks reduced
the yield to the lowest point reached
since this city became the center of
of the vests cranberry industry.
Reports from the northern district
state that 1000 barrels will be gather
ed in Burnett, Washburn and Price
counties.
