Britain wants to keep her and Japan

Turkey is Popular Dish in
Many Homes; Salvation
Army and Red Cross Help.

Pendleton's THANKSGIVING of 1921 is
q day sacred to home and fireside.
Family ties are strengthened during
this autumn festival which in its OBJ
servance commentaries that hardy
spirit of the Pilgrims of 1921. Always
n holiday of great significance, it is
doubly so this year because of the ma
tion's interest in the disarmament con-
ference whose principles are typical of
Americans.
It is a day of feasting about tables
heaped with the fruits of bountifu!
harvest. The turkey, royal bird who
traces his lineage not to the Mayflower
but to tho wild bird of the forests
known in Puritan days, occupies the
place of honor The poor of the city
are not forgotten. for the Salvation
Army and Red Cross have assisted in
bringing Thanksgiving cheer TO homes
where money is not plentiful.
Like the Pilgrims of old who wor-

Rev Gresham Speaks
Rev w. A. Gresham, pastor of the
First Christian church, occupied the
pulpit and took for his theme'
Thanksgiving in Fact and Signific-
ance." His text was II exhort there
fore, first of all, that prayers inter-
cessons, thanksgivings, be made Tor
all mon; for kings and all that are IN
high place: that we may lead tran
auil and quiet life in all godlness and
gravity"
Thanksgiving Day" said Rev
Gresham. "is one of Americas instl-
tutions. Like all other institutions
its roots are imbedded in the soil of
religious inspiration. Law both the
civil and the common, finds its basic
inspiration in the law of Moses. 1t is
in this law, rather than in the Code OF
Hammurabi some 500 years earlier,
that the sacredness Of human life IS
regarded and safe-guarded. Hence
the religious element first appears.
Thanksgiving Day finds its religious
origin in spirit in the Jewish Feast OF
Tabernacles, which was the Feast of
Harvest, the annual Thanksgiving to
God.
Looks to Three Directions
"Our real cause for thanksgiving to-
day Is found as we look in three direc-
tlons. namely, to the past, to the pres
ent and to the future.
"As we look to the past, we see the
Pilgrims offering their first civil and
religious thanksgiving in 1921 They
represent to US the real heart OF hu-
manity recognizing its author the
heavenly Father as the giver OF every
blessing and the protector of man.
God was not forgotten. This fact Is
tho secret of their life and strength
and nobility of character, such as
eharacterizes true Americans today

Aberdeen Creamery Showing Farmers
How To Have Ready Money.
Aberdeen-The Aberdeen Cream
cry, which is owned and operated by
Frank JcSnson, recently shipped a
10, 00O-pound car load OF butter to the
Piggly-Wiggly company in New Or
leans. This creamery will average two
carloads of butter every week during
the year. They pay out $4,000 every
week for cream. This money is scat
tered over several counties, but Mon
roe county farmers get the bulk of
il. Forty thousand a month is paid
out by the Aberdeen creamery to it's
patrons.
When Frank Johnson came to Aber-
deem a few years ago, there were very
few high bred COWS in Monroe county,
but now nearly every farm has one to
a dozen good cows, and they have
ready money the year round.
1t has been necessary for the cream
cry to enlarge their plant. They have
installed a system for handling cans
that will save the employees at the
plant much time. A milk can that is
shipped to the Aberdeen creamery is
handled % times from the time it
lands at the depot until it is shipped
back. With the new system it will re
duce the handling of cans.
