Bank thought it was in a dilemma
which promised to spear it on one Of
the horns either way it moved. so il
stood still This was its position in
regard to the disposal of insurance
money due the Bohlke Fruit Com
pany or its creditors. until the com

April 30 In answer to a complaint
by 81 persons who had labor claims
against the Bohlke Fruit Company.

II said it had been served notice bv
Jacob Harding to pay no part of $15.-
600 he claimed as his under assign
ment, but to hold it for him. On the
other hand, the labor claims were
filed, and the bank did not know
whether or not it would be directly
liable to the others if it paid any
thing to me. SO it has held the
money, except that paid to Louden-

ChflAN TEAM
SHUT us OUT IN
SUNDAY GAME
ELEVEN INNINGS REQUIRED IN
WHICH TO ARRIVE At Salts
FACTORY DECISION As TO THE
OUTCOME.

Leavcnworth went down to defea.
in the eleven-inning game last Sun
day on the home grounds with the
Chelan team-thoueh there are those
who claim that the game should have
gone to the home team at the end of
the ninth.
Billy Smith pitched for the Leav-
enworth boys and it was air-tight
pitching too. but the Chelan pitcher
was pitching about the same brand
and no one was doing much hitting
But along about the sixth inning a
Leavenworth player crossed the home
plate. He was met. however, by the
Chelan catcher with the ball in his
hand. The catcher dropped the ball
and II appeared to many that the um-
pire should have called the runner
safe. He did not, and the game went
on until in the 11th inning Chelan
scored two runs and the home team
was unable to even it up.
The Leavenworth team is to play
Cashmere next Sunday

as in vain.
Fortunately the fire was seen By
neighbors who went to the assistance
of the Ellses and a portion of the
household goods was saved. The loss

LUMBER COMPANY WON SUIT

The case of the Briskey estate VS..
the Great Northern Lumber Co,
heard in Spokane and decided last
week, was in favor of the lumber
company. The Briskey estate not
only lost the suit for damages but al
so the proceedings to enjoin the com
pany from maintaining the present
dam. Unless carried to a higher
court and the decision reversed, it is
presumed this will end the long fight
and the lumber company will not be
encumbered with annual claims for
damage.

MEN, WON EN-

Thanksgiving Day! This holiday should not
be kept in ferfunctory way at this time, for
if we take stock of the many things which we as
people have for rendering thanks unto the
giver of all good gifts then today will be one of
hearty thanks.
The day is of New England origin, the first
one being set by Governor Bradford of the
Massachusetts, colony on December, 1921. In
the south it was almost unknown as late as the
year 1855, when the Governor of Virginia sent
message to the state legislature urging recog-
milton of the holiday; but it met with much op-
position as many thought it was relic of Puri-
tan bigotry.
But two years later the next governor of
the old commonwealth issued proclamation
appointing the day, and it was celebrated with
true southern hospitality. The next year eight
other southern states had fallen into line; but
the outbreak of the war between the states
put temporary stop to it. 1t seems bit
strange now that Thanksgiving day was ever
looked upon from sectional standpoint.
The Pilgrims it will be recalled set apart
a day for thanksgiving at Plymouth Immediately
after their first harvest in 1927 the Massachu-
sets Bay colony for the first time in 1880, and
frequently thereafter until about 1880, when it
became an annual festival in that colony, and
Connecticut as early as 1889 and annually after
1647, except in 1915. The Dutch in New
Netherland appointed day for giving thanks
in 1914 and occasionally thereafter.
During the War of Independence the Cont
mental Congress appointed one more thanks
giving days each year, except, inc, each
time recommending to the executives of the
different states the observance of these days
in their states. Remember that the Presidents
proclamation only makes Thanksgiving Day a le-
gal holiday in the District of Columbia and in
the territories.
President Washington appointed day of
| thanksgiving Thursday, November 26) in 1889,
and appointed another in 1875 after the adop-
tion of the constitution for the general benefits
and welfare of the nation. President Madison,
in response to resolutions of Congress, set apart
a day for thanksgiving at the close of the war
of 1872. In 1889 the Episcopal church for
maily recognized the civil governments au-
thority to appoint such feast, and in 1889
the Roman Catholic church also decided to
honor a festival which had long been nearly
universally observed, though nowhere with such
zest as in New England.
| In 1864 President Lincoln issued procla-
nation setting aside the fourth Thursday in
November for national day of thanksgiving
with view to making this date an annual holi-
day in every state; and since that time the diff

A GREAT ALABAMA ASSET
Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Has it ever occurred to you what a wonder
full developer the Alabama Power company is
for Alabama now and in the future? To think
thatlwe have headquarters in Birmingham of a
power company strong enough to leale from
the government and put in active operation a
hundred thousand horse power plant in the
state of Alabama that promised to be idle
and rusted out for want of somebody strong
enough to pay the government satisfactory
price. And them too, on terms that will
not interfere with any trade that the govern
ment may make in the disposition Of the water
power plant located in Alabama on the Ten
nessee river.
Just to think of it, this Alabama Power COM
pany, which is big ea3ugh already without the
use of this immense pant in which the gov
eminent has invested nearly S50,000oo0, is
now furnishing Georgia and North and South
Carolina the electric p,ner to turn the wheels
that spin and weave our cotton in the south
We are so accustomed 20 Zig things here that
it looks as though nothing Is ever said about
some of the great things that occur in our
midst.
Let's boost Alabama things and lets buy Ala
hama products aud help each other in every
way we can. The spirit has built up New Eng
land and other sections of ti.c>rorth Yours

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE
GAVE GOOD ACCOUNT

Birmingham is peculiarly fortunate in the
number and character of her young business
men," said DR.. w. R. Hendrix "among who
there was none worther nor more loved than Ed
Archibald, whose passing away on the threshold
of a happy and prosperous career has brought
sorrow to hundreds of admiring friends Com
ing with his parents to this city when he was
but one year old he grew up with the city, re-
acting to all that was best in its educational,
social, and religious life.
$50 many good qualities found ample room
in his spacious soul, that it is difficult to point
out his individual characteristics. Sound
judgment coupled with answering integrity
secured for him an exceptional place among
business men. A genial disposition, and an in
telligent considerateness of others, made him
favorite in the social circle.
Probably it was his exceptionally ardent
family affections that tempered his personality
with that peculiar charm which all his friends
felt and few of us understood He was sim
cerely but unobsrusively religious, and at the
time of his death deacon in South Highlands
Presbyterian church. In all the walks of life
he gave good account of himself, leaving to
his many friends an example worthy of emu
lation and to his loved ones name which is
as ointment poured forth"
