THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving Day is day set
apart for harvest festival. The Pill
grim forefathers started it in Ply
mouth in the year of 1921. On this
day people get together and give
their thanks for the past year
The Presidents have set the date
for the last Thursday in November.
Religious services are carried on in
especially the Protestant church
We, the people of Idaho, have a
Thanksgiving offering, which goes to
the orphans home. We give money
and other necessary articles, because
the little children have no parents
for Thanksgiving dinner so that they
will have something to be thankful
for as we'll as we.
The children are taught all about
the different holidays. If they don't
observe these days, they are apt to
believe that these days were not set
aside for some special purpose.
Now, 1 think that each person
should give something, if not more
than a few cents, so that these little
unfortunates may enjoy Thanksgiv-
ing Day as much as possible.
AS Thanksgiving Day is close at
hand, let's see how much we can
save to give these little children, as
they have no way to get anything
for themselves.

From The Nugget

In a conversation with the Nugget
last Monday, John w. Caldwell, the
radio man of Mountain Home, ex-
pressed a desire to give the people of
Bruneau a radio concert some Sun
day evening in the near future. He
stated that he would be very glad to
bring over and install his equipment
for the night and give the concert,
if the people here would pay the
small necessary expense of temper
arily installing the same, which APP
pears to us a very generous PROPOSE
ton. The sermons, vocal and organ
recitals, broadcasted from the larger
cities by the greatest talent in the
country, are easily picked out of the
ether by Mr.. Caldwell's apparatus,
the loud speaker attachment making
| it plainly audible to a multitude. To
many of we Bruneau people the won
ders of the radio yet remain a mys-
terry and we believe that this kind
offer by Mr.. Caldwell should be TAX

At. any rate Bruneau will have a
radio treat Sunday evening, Decem-
Der End, staged at the Congregation
al church. This was made possible
through the decidedly liberal tender
of Mr.. Caldwell to bring his equip

should.

Letter From Priscilla Bradford

My Dear F'riend-As you wished
me, have taken very good care to
analyze the young woman who is go
