THANKSGIVING

+ a LITTLE over three hundred years ago band of
kAlbrave men and women left the shores of England
tNgsN in a ra craft and batted their way westward
the Atlantic Ocean They came off the sea at
what is now Cape Cod. They gained foothold upon
the rock-bound coast of Massachusetts Bay. In the
face of every known peril and hardship they pushed
their way inland They suffered they sacrificed, they
diminished in numbers. They held on, with perse-
verance and pertnacy never outdone in the history
of man.
And surrounded, as they were by every danger
in the midst of slaughter by barbarans of deaths thru
famine and exposure they were grateful, and set
apart day of thanksgiving to God.
who have the convenences and advantages of this
What an example for us of the present day! For
modern era, yet who grumble, at fate and
plain that life is not bestowing upon us all that it
owes We know but little of the peril of hardship.
We possess necessities what to the Pilgrims would
have been glorious luxuries. And yet true giving
of thanks to Providence for these blessings is
thing today. Ue take these gifts as things due US,
and frowningly look for more
That day set apart three hundred years ago has
developed into national institution. Let US observe
it in the spirit originally intended: Let realize
that life does not anything, and that for what
we get should feel gratitude. Let realize that
the day has big meaning, significance beyond the
cooking of turkey, the stutfing of stomach, Let
JUS realize the days source and adopt mental att
tude in keeping with the Christianity of it's founders

WESTERN SNEEZE WEEDHA
P0IS0N0USPLANT TO SHEEP

A plant poisonous to sheep on the
ranges, and for which no practical
method has been discovered either for
eradication or for cure of the result
ing disease, is described in a recent
bulletin of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The weed is most
troublesome in Utah, Colorado, Ari-
IONA, and New Mexico, and in the
eastern half OF southern California, as
well as in scattered areas in eastern
and western Nevada, southeastern Ore
gon, southeastern Idaho, and north
western Wyoming.
1t was first reported to the depart
ment in 1903 that a mysterious disease,
characterized by vomiting, wasting
away, and death, was attacking sheep
in Utah. Tho disease was at first at
tributed to Zygadenus death camas),
but several years later department
botanists observed that sneeze weed
was usually found on ranges occupied
by the affected sheep. Subsequent cX
pcriments covering five years fastened
responsibility upon the sneeze weed

was ever before necessary. One can
not even be n law student and pass
examination at the bar without an ex-
pcnsive tuition. 1t is from ranks of
lawyers most of our noted leaders rise.
That this is so is undeniable, and 1t
reveals a real American weakness.
The worst and deepest American
weakness Is lack of appreciation.
Hence, to make any progress as a
chieftain man who Is not lawyer
must count on an uphill fight with
the cold-shoulder apathy of neighbors
and pretended friends.
out in the country the usual attempt
at leadership takes the form of CO.

ing, or facilities for spread of agricul-
tural instruction We can but wonder
whether Abe Lincoln in our day would
iravc started as a county agent" He
could not even do that without n d.

Is public sentiment in the country
any better than that in town? Or Is
it at all different This is one of the
