AS the fire gained headway and
the fire chief learned that heavy

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 5.--"Better times"
for American business are "just
ahead" in the opinion of represen-
tative bankers here for the conven-
tion of the American Bankers as.
sociation.
An air of confidence and optimism
is apparent among the financial
leaders.
The belief is frequently expressed
that with the industries of the ma
tion no longer hampered by nation
wide strikes and with business con-
ditions continuing their steady prog
ress towards normal, the country is
nearing its most prosperous period
since the days of war time infla-
tion.
Bankers from the middle west say
that the situation in the great agri-
cultural region which was hit the
hardest by the postwar deflation, is
slowly but steadily improving. They
declare that the federal government
through the agencies of the farm
loan board, the war finance corpor-
alton, and the federal reserve board
has enabled the banks to extend
loans to farmers who were caught
in financial difficulties because Of
declining prices. Many of the mid
west bankers, phowever, believe the
freight rates on farm products should
be reduced further.
Bankers from the manufacturing
regions point out that the twin rail
and coal strikes tended to halt pro-
duction and this will result in
greater activity during the winter
months.
Governor Henry ]. Allen, of Kan
sas, will tell the bankers about his
hobby, the Kansas industrial court,

1889, the new President Of the new
nation, George Washington, called on
the American people to assemble ON
Nov. 26 and give thanks, among other
things,
"For the signal and manifold Mer-
cies, and the favorable InterpositiOn
of His Providence in the course and
conclusion Of the late War
for the peaceful and rational manner
in which we have been enabled to es-
tablish Constitutions and Governments
for our safety and happiness; and par
ticularly the national one now lately
instituted" s..
Washington, it might be deduced
from this alone, was a nationalist,
With no leaning whatever toward state
sovereignty, and with perfect readi-
ness to make his preferences mani
fest, in prayer as well as in any other
way An amusing instance of this
frankness occurs later in the same
proclamation, where he asks the peo-
pie to pray heaven. "To protect and
guide all Sovereigns and Nations (es-
pecially such as have shown kindness
to usl."
An honored lineage, that of this
best-beloved festival. 1t started in
the days when the Neolithic dweler
by the lakes of Switzerland finished
bringing in his scanty harvest and
settled down to secure winter. 1t
is close akin to the Dionysiac feasts
Of ancient Greece and the "horlley
night" Of rural England. But it has
a peculiarly American flavor and sub
stance; and for this, one must thank
the sturdy Pilgrims, whose iron cour-
age was tempered by fine humanity,
and who probably smiled into their
boards when, over their supper of snail
soup, they thanked God, "who had
given them to suck Of the abundance
of the seas, and the treasures hid In
the sands"

Cornellison who climbed out early in

a Thanksgiving day by going to church

still celebrated with the eating not OF
turkey and cranberries but of the

FESTIVAL NOW
ALL AMERICAN
Though Its Origin Was Pagan,
Thanksgiving Is Peculiarly
of This Country.
Pilgrim Fathers Gave Religious Char
acter to Celebration Which for
Centuries Had Been Occasion Only
for Material JoIIification.

People who do not chlOrOform their
sense of fun before starting to read
history have had many chuckle over
the Pilgrim and Puritan festival Of
Thanksgiving. These early settlers Of
New England were so militantly Chris
tian that they could not bear any sug-
geStiOn Of an earlier creed. They
objected to Christmas as "heathenish,"
because it contained-as it still con-
tains-so many relics of pre-Christian
days. Having done this, they turned
round, seized on the most thoroughly
pagan of all celebrations, that Of the
gathered harvest, and made it an insti-
tuition that has grown and spread for
three centuries, is the indictment
drawn by writer in an eastern maga-
zine.
But the joke is not all on the Pill
grims. True, they went back to fes-
tival which has been held ever since
man began to plant and gather crops;
but they made Of it something peculiar
ly modern, Christian, and, at the last,
American.
They gave religious character to
a celebration which for ages had been
a purely material jollification, and
made it part of the community's pub
lie policy; an occasion for coming to-
gether in common aspirations, hopes
and gratitude. All the changes and
developments of the last 300 years
have not been able to change the es-
sential character of the Pilgrim
Thanksgiving. How many inventions
of today will last so long?
The first Thanksgiving feast, held
in the fall Of 1921, was not ordained
by formal proclamation. The colony
was too small to need such a notice.
But the circumstances under which
the celebration was held are told in
Governor Bradford's history in a way
well worthy of quotation:
''They (the colonists) begane now to
gather in the small harvest they had,
and to fitte up their houses and dwell
ings against winter, being all well re-
covered in health & strength, & had
all things in good plenty: for as some
were thus imployed in affaires abroad,
others were exercised in fishing, abOute
codd, & bass, & other fish, of which
they tooke good store, of which every
family had their portion. .. And
now begane to come in store Of foule,
as winter approached. Of which this
place did abound when they came
first, but afterwards decreased by de-
grees. And besides water fOule, ther
was great store of wild Turkies, Of
which they took many, besides vensiOn,
&c. Besids they had aboute peck
a meale a weeke TO person, or
now, since harvest, Indean corne to
that proportion. Which made many
afterwards write so largely Of their
plenty hear to their friends in Eng
land, which were not famed, but true
reports"
Excepting small boys, one can hard
ly imagine the folk Of a modern COM
munity bOasting about their plenty
under the stimulus of peek meale
weeke to a person. plus such game

as could be trapped, or shot with flint
lock firearms. But such things depend
mainly on the point of view, and that
may not have improved SO much in
the last three centuries as we think.
We of today know more of a thousand
things than did Governor Bradford and
his companions, but it is not so certain
that we know more of the basic busi-
ness of living.
Excellent hearts had our fathers of
DID," and for steady, cheerful cour
age, the Pilgrim colonists never have
been surpassed.
Twelve years later, the colony had
grown so much that a formal procla-
nation seemed necessary The first
one was issued on October /, 1888.
and the Thanksgiving celebration was
held two weeks later, October 16.
The custom soon spread throughout
New England. Then, on October 3,

And the rock and the tree and the cot

Humility Goes With Thanks.

Thanksgiving is essentially @ re-
ligious holiday. Like Christmas, 1t has
lost something of its significance
through the overemphasizing of its sec.
ular features The other holidays
commemorate the birth or the deeds Of
great men or perpetuate the memory
of great events. They speak to the
mind in it's happiest moods, telling
over a record of glorious actions and
repeating reasons for contentment and
love of country. Thanksgiving day
ought at least to suggest the virtue
of humility.
The Snowflake herald., 1922-11-24

Did these newcomers to Plymouth
get used to the biting off of grain that

Did they fasten their incisors too
deep in the cob, as is done at first by
most English taSters Of the luscious

ers of this indigenous delicacy?
And what of the turkey which fur
nished Il poultry yard at the very doors
Of the Pilgrims? Unafraid OF man,
these majestic birds came with and
without invitation. And what of the
friendly competition between the
Dutch oven which the immigrants
brought over and the Algonquin cook
ing hole? No doubt the folks Of both
red and white skins were strenuous ri
walls to produce the toothsome and sa
worry roast Yet who but bold hunt
er in 1922 ever sees this original Amer
ican king OF birds? The domestic fowl
of today is but pale copy of the mag
nificent lord of the forest, with it's
sheeny iridescence Of breast feathers
and the combs of it's neck and head
changing when erectile with excitement
or fear. 1t is true that the modern
bird of November struts in Ostenta
tiouS splendOr and with vanity that at
times seems very nearly human. It's
display of the exultant passion of vic
tory over rivals reminds one Of a Wall
Street boss of finance or lady that is
queen Of the ball. Is it any wonder
that Benjamin Franklin pleaded elO-
queptly that the American wild turkey
should be adopted as our national en-
blem and the symbol of our prosperity
rather than the eagle, beloved of mon
arch and autocrats? Like maize, called
Turkey wheat, this glorious fowl got
the name it bears because the origin
of all novelties was in that era ascribed
to Asia, but unlike the cereal grain it
still lacks an appropriate name.
Thanks, then, to the Pilgrim Fathers
for their discovery of the food re-
sources and gastronomic possibilities
of the American wilderness, and quite
as much to the Pilgrim Mothers who
added deliciousness to the native
culinary contributions. They certain
ly did continue in the New world
most of the good things of the Old.
Nor in this relation of things must we
forget the Indian. In fact, the more
we have learned of late of sO-called
civilized warfare and the methods of
propagating Hunnish culture, the more
do we respect the red man.
Reverently may we add that the pro-
found faith of these pioneers in the an
cient promises recorded in the eighth
chapter of Deuteronomy, concerning
the Promised Land wherein they
should "eat bread without scarceness,"
was vindicated They made the in
spired prophecy valid by their indus
try and perseverance. and their de-
scendants may we'll follow their exam
pie in these days.
