Thirteen More Days In Which to Obtain Licenses,
 States Morrow

With only 13 more days in which to buy automobile and business licenses, less than one-third of the number is- sued last year have been issued, ac- cording to Woolsey Morrow, chief clerk of the probate court.
 These licenses become delinquent after October 31, and as there are approximately 15,000 automobiles in the county 1t will be necessary for the owners to come in more promptly during the rest of the month, he stated.
 Up to the present time 1,044 class "A" tags. 1016 class "B" tags, 116 class 70" tags and 13 class ID" tags for private cars and 297 tags for trucks have been issued. Licenses have been obtained for 55 taxicabs, according to records at the probate office.
 This license is delinquent after October 31, when a penalty of 15 per cent will be added to the price of the tag
 Unless tho people show some speed in paying their licenses and obtain ing automobile tags a large number are going to be forced to pay the penalty" said MT. Morrow. We are most anxious to have as many as possible come in at the earliest time in order to avoid the congestion or the last few days"

THANKSGIVING DAY
 OF JEWS MONDAY
Harvest Festival Dates Back to ExoduS-WiII Be 0b-\
 served Here

Succoth, the original Thanksgiving Day of ancient Israel, better known as the feast of tabernacles, comes this year on Monday, October IT, and Is observed for seven days, ending on October 24 with the feast of conclu- sion, or Shemini Atzereth. Services are held in the synagog on the first and last day.
 Tn the light of its biblical origin" said Rabbi Morris Newfield yester- day, "Succoth Is characteristic harvest festival. having it's inception and significance in an agricultural era It is known in scripture as the feast of ingathering Exodus 25:16). when the ancient Israelitish farmer gathered in the fruit of his labors out of the field.
 "Succoth is associated in the early history of the Hebrews with their journey through the wilderness, when they were compelled to live in tents or temporary dwellings, In Leviticus 2s:42, 43, 1t is said "fe shall dwell in booths seven days that your generation may know that l made the children Of Israel to dwell in booths when l brought them out of the land of Egypt
 After the disruption of the com monwealth of Israel, the festival as- sumed the character of harvest feast, which it still has In modern times. The idea remains prominent among the Jewish people that the fruit of the orchard and the Increase of the field are evidences of the good ness of God, whose mercies are ever lasting The fruitfulness of the SOIL, the bounty of the earth, are the gl1ts of the great Giver, according to the Jewish conception. The Author of life opens His hands and supplies the wants of every living creature. But man Is under obligation to make proper uses of these gifts. If used for selfish purposes and antihuman devices these gifts become danger ous. To impress upon man the sense of gratitude for all the manifold blessings of God, the festival of ln- gathering is observed in the modern synagog.
 During this period the synagogs are decorated with fruits and flowers and the products of the field The service is of a joyful nature. ex- m essive of gratitude for all the bounties and benefits and helpfulness vouchsafed by God. In many re- ligious schools, harvest pageants and celebrations are enacted, Tn which the children are the perform CTS. .
 Services will be held Sunday art ernoon at 5:3O o'clock in Temple Emanu-El Services Monday morning mill be held at 10:3o o'clock, ana will be attended by the members W oi the sisterhood. after which they VIII go to their harvest luncheon at the Phoenix club. Every Jewish woman will be gladly welcomed to Join III the luncheon, also to join the sis- terhood."
