COMMON TO ALL HUMANITY
Every Nation Has Set Apart Time fer
Special Services in Grssituda
for Gods Mereies.

Thanksgiving day did not originate
In the United States, but days Of
thanksgiving were set aside for special
purposes many centuries ago Days
set apart for special thanksgiving to
the Lord were known to the Israelites
and are mentioned throughout the
Bible. They were not uncommon In
EnglaAA before the Reformation and
among PN.testants afterward.
The first thanksgiving held In North
America was conducted by an Eng
lish minister named Wolfall, In 1878,
on the shores Of Newfoundland. The
pastor accompanied the expedition un-
der Frobisher, which brought the first
English colony to settle on those
shores.
The earliest record of any observ-
ance of a similar service within the
present territory Of the United States
was held by the Popham colony Set
tied at Sagadahoc, on the coast of
Maine. In August, 1907.
But the real origin of Thanksgiv-
ing as day specially set apart for
prayer and rejoicing must be attrb-
uted to Governor Bradford, first gov
ernor Of Massachusetts, colony. In
gratitude for the plenteous harvest of
1921, following upon a period Of great
depression, he proclaimed a day of
thanksgiving TO be observed December
Is (old style) Of that year.
In practical furtherance Of his proc
lamation he at once sent out four men
in search of game. Thus early In the
history of the day does our good friend
the turkey make his appearance; for,
successful in their quest. the four
spOrtsmen returned. struggling under
a burden of wild fowl, principally tur-
keys. sufficient to meet the wants Of
the colony for a week.

FRIENDSHIP

Life, labor and love need the for
tfication of friendship, says an ex-
change.
When men shall realize the full sig
nificance of this simple truism and
practice it with one another in their
daily social and industrial intercourse,
there will dawn on the troubled world
a new era, which will tighten the bur
den of care and knit mankind in a
closer brotherhood
Achievement, progress and pros
perity are the slow bought gains of
ages, and it is only by cooperation
with one another and confidence in one
another that these precious things
can be attained at all.
In moment of doubt, dissent or
infidelity system of structure which
it has taken years to build may sud
denly be torn from its foundation and
destroyed.
AS the skies are Frightening in the
dawning of the new era, fair thinking
and considerate employers and en-
ployes are getting closer together,
urging in their combined effort the
adoption of the saving principles en-
bodied in the golden rule. The time
and possibility for great American
advancement have come. We stand
on the threshold of world leadership.
We must move forward in unity, am
ity and with implicit confidence in one
another if we would save our indus
tries and reach the goal.
The foresighed are making start.
In many of the larger and more in
fiuential industrial organizations the
sturdy, clear-eyed and cool-brained
worker at the bench or forge is called
into conference and asked to assist in
the untangling of difficulties. His
suggestions are received with the
same care as the words of the men
higher up. BY this simple method
both sides get new light and inspira-
ton.
This is the spirit needed today to
lead our nation safely from the hid
den shoals and treacherous quicksands
of unrest and discomfort.
Let every man cheerfully do his bit
in promoting it.

In discussing its attempt to secure
convictions under conspiracy laws,
the committee says:
"The judges, both in the state and
federal courts, have almost consist
emily treated this class of offenders
with tender consideration. In one
case in the state court, in which the
manufacturers of brick and dealers in
building materials were proved guilty
of most overt acts, constituting will
full frauds upon the public, the court
allowed all the defendants to escape
with fines.
"The court in that case expounded
the extraordinary view that because
Of the business and social station of
these men the humiliation of being
compelled to plead guilty to crime
and the imposition of comparatively
small fines upon them was a sufficient
punishment. The same point of view
seems to prevail with the federal
judges. There is no hope of com
pelling obedience to these laws or of
enforcing them so long as the courts
adopt this attitude"

LOW-WACE FOE
General Gorgas Eulogized

Birmingham, Ala.-"The name Cor

"This great sanitarian," said the
British ambassador, conquered yellow

for all time Other speakers also paid
high tribute to the memory of the late
surgeon general of the United States

causes for disease, are well known to

statements by him that are unfortun-
ately overlooked by those who now
sound his praises. In speech in Gin

"That poverty is the greatest single
cause of bad sanitary conditions was
very early impressed upon me. If
