Our rural ancestors with little blest.
Patient of labor when the end was rest
Indulg'd the day that hous'd their annual
grain
With feasts and offerings and a thankful
straih Pope.
The favorite way of celebrating
Thanksgiving in New England was, of
course, first with prayer and a sermon,
In which the minister told his congre-
cation the many things they had to be
thankful for The church was generally
decorated with fruits and grains, and
when the custom became national this
was continued. The idea OF the Thanks
giving dinner In New England was to
have all of the fruits of the harvest,
and turkey became the principal meat
course because this bird was so plenti-
full and was caught in the wild state
and prepared most appetizingly by the
housewives.
Then there was pumpkin pie and as
'cranberries grew In great quantities In
New England states the sauce Of that
berry was a fitting addition to the
turkey course. Plum cake. or. as 1t has
come to be known, fruit cake, was
favorite for the Christmas holidays in
England and was brought over with
other dainties by the first of the set
tiers, and the recipes for making treas
ured by the housewives.
Meat pies, or. as we call them, mince
pies. came later in the list of good
things for Thanksgiving.
With the very earliest settlers the
day was, indeed, day Of prayer, and
little else besides, but later 1t became
feast day, as well, and it was a poor
family, indeed, in New England that
could not afford turkey for Thanks
giving dinner.

I"<HIS famous poem comes tt
mind with each recurring
IL Thanksgiving day, and carries
us back to 1921 when the land
was young and our pilgrim forbears
were laying the first foundation stones
of our great American republic. Te
them belongs the credit of having cele.
| brated the first Thanksgiving day in
New England, but not the first in
North America. Historians remind us
of the fact that in the year 1878 an
English minister named Wolfall con-
Quoted a Thanksgiving service on the
shores of Newfoundland. The min
lister was with an expedition under
Frobisher which brought the first Eng
fish colony to settle on those shores.
1t was In this pious spirit or graft
tude that the Pilgrims on the '4stern
and rock-bound coast of Plymouth
"praysed God" in sincere gratitude for
the way In which he had delivered
them from all the dangers of the deep
that the Mayflower had gone through.
We of the luxurious plenty of our day
would feel that we had little for
which to be grateful IL we had no
more than the Pilgrims had on their
first Thanksgiving day. Dangers known
and unknown encompassed them round
about. and their days were filled with
hard labor, while their fare was Of the
plainest and the future was uncertain.
But they had stout hearts In which
hope ran high. OF the American
Thanksgiving one historian says:
1.-THE annual celebration, as we have
1t In its present form. Is essentially of
American conception. The settlers of
jamestown, the Dutch of New York,
the Pilgrims of Plymouth. and the Pu-
ritans of Boston were in every respect
devoutly religious people. They were
cornerstones In the great temple of
republican government ON this side of
the Atlantic. The first written consti-
tuition in all history was an American
document, In that 1t was written in the
cabin of the Mayfiower on Saturday,
Nov. IL, 1920. as that unique craft
swung at her anchor In Provincetown
harbor, the first six words being In
the name of God, Amen This phrase
laid the foundation stones of our
western civilization, These men
brought but little with them, but left
much to posterity. If this were the
only thing they left us, the American
Thanksgiving day, their names would
be immortalized. 1t gives joy to the
humblest of peoples. On the follow
Ing autumn there was held q 'grande
thanksgiving The most condensed ac-
count of this 'grande thanksgiving can
be found in a letter written by Ed
ward Winslow, sent to a friend in
England, as fellows: Our harvest be-
Ing gotten In, our governor sent out
four men on fowling, so that we might
after special manner rejoice togeth-
er, after we had gathered the fruits of
our labors. They killed as much fowl
as with little help beside served the
company about one week. At which
times among other recreations we ex-
ercised our army, many of the Indians
coming amongst rs, and among the
rest of their greatest king, Massasoit,
with some 90 men, whom for three
days we entertained and Toasted, and
they went out and killed five deer,
which they brought and bestowed on
our governor and upon the captain
and others"

Many Causes for Gratitude.

We have reason to be grateful for
our abundant haryests, which suffice
to feed us at home and empower us
to give substantial aid to the starving
war-wasted peoples abroad; to be hum
bly, thankful for the wealth that en-
ables us to succor those who have lost
all that is so precious in our own eyes.
In gratitude for our manifold national
and personal blessings we all have oc-
caslon to "bless the Lord, and forget
not all His benefits"

The Thanksgiving Witch

<HERE'S witch i'm the kitchen
who's baking and brewing,
IL And mixing and molding, and
sitting and stewing
She is up to her elbows In raisins
and spices,
AS she chops and she peels and she
minces and slices
Around her the fragrance OF pumpkin pie
hovers,
Each minute new kind Of dainty dis
covers,
AS stirring and sleeping, and basting and
sieving,
My capable sweetheart, prepares for
Thanksgiving.

Not Essentially American.

Our American Thanksgiving is usual
ly considered our one native contribu-
ton to the holidays of nations. as its
observance originated with the New
England fathers. Perhaps the fathers
themselves liked to think of it in this
originative way and so wished 1t per-
petuated-as something that had flow
cred on the bleak rock of their per-
sonal struggle. 1t was to be peculiarly
their day, peculiarly heroic New Eng
land day, an American day. SO in a
sense 1t is; so in a sense it is not.
Many other nations have had such
days of thankfulness.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1921-11-24
For Past and Coming MercIes.

Thanksgiving IL a season of appre-
citation for what has come to the coun-
try as well as for what it has escaped.
On both counts the people of America
have abundant reason on this day to
express their gratitude in accordance
with the national institution so wisely
ordered long ago.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1921-11-24

o. this witch in the kitchen has woven
around me
spell that In happy enchantment has
bound me.
Compounded OF fruit cake and cranberry
jelly.
And dressing with onions deliciously
smelly,
And turkey all crinlxly and wrinkly and
tender,
And celery, plume-topped, and snowy
and slender.
And her magic has made me determined
to win her
To preside as my bride at my Thanks
giving dinner

BIG BOOST FOR BETTER ROADS
HOLBROOK-LUPT0N ROAD
WILL BE ASSURED

Under the auspices of the Gallup
Chamber of Commerce about seventy
five good road boosters gathered at
Adamana last Tuesday. If the wea-
ther had been propitious for the oc-
casion there would have been double
that number but the weather god or
dained that the clouds should cover
the sky and frequently emit a few
drops of rain or few flakes of snow.
This condition early in the morning
of that day caused many who antici-
pated attending the meeting to desist.
However. there was a meeting just
the same. 1t was enthusiastic be-
cause the cause is a just and a patri-
otic one and every person who bears
any loyalty to his section of the
country is for the building and i'm
proving Of the section of the National
Old Trails Road between Holbrook
and Lupton. This was the primary
cause of the meeting. That there are
numerous enthusiasts beside just

sentatives that appeared from nearly
every little town along the Santa Fe
from albuquerque west to Winslow
All were greatly Interested and there
resulted the making of an organiza-
ton which will endeavor to inaugu-
rate some plan of financing the work
that is needed to be done on this
section of the road which is SO vital
ly important to the motor traffic over
the National Old Trails and likewise

talking over matters, will greatly as

behalf of the cause were made.
but the real work lies with the di-
rectors Of the organization. 1t will
take only a small amount of money
TO put the road in passable condition
and this amount will be raised along
the line and will be expended where
needed the most and without any
overhead expenses. Their plans of
raising this money are to be discussed
