Thanksgiving in December.
With the coming of Revolutionary
times, the custom of Thanksgiving
days spread stir further, In October
l1775, proclamation was issued for
Thanksgiving to be observed Decem-
Der Is, signed by order Of the Provin-
,cial Congress, John Hancock. Presi-
dent" This proclamation is note
worthy, since II was the first TO appear
without the royal arms and the words,
'"God Save the King Previous to that

,our Sovereign Lord George the Sec

britain, France and Ireland, King, De
fender of the Faith, etc, God Save the

The first national proclamation for
a Thanksgiving was made by the Con-
tinental congress, designating Decem-
Der IS, 1777. The next year, December
80 was set apart. although In May a
special day of thanks had been ap-
: pointed upon receipt of the news that
France had signed treaty OF alliance
with the thirteen states of the Amert-
can Union.
! Washington's Proclamation.
After the signing of peace with
Great Britain, in October, 1888, con-
gress appointed December II as day

George Washington issued national

exemption and the great degree Of in
ternal tranquility and directing the
( people to render thanks to the great
Ruler of nations for the manifold and
signal mercies which distinguished our
! lot as nation"
Not until April, 1915, did another ma
tional Thanksgiving occur, proclaimed
by President Madison upon the con-
c3usion Of the War of 1912. During
the Civil war, President Lincoln APP
pointed a day of Thanksgiving follow
ing the victory at Gettysburg, and it
was he who established the custom of
Presidents issuing annual Thanksgiy-
ing proclamations, appointing the last
Thursday Of November. Today the
governors of many of the states issue

ice the party returned to the central
log cabin, where all enjoyed such a
feast as they had not tasted since
leaving their home land the year be-
fore. The ceremonies lasted for three
DAYS, and ii is to be doubted if many
similar gatherings since have been
filled with such friendliness and broth

Since the earliest times and through
out all the nations of the earth, there
has been and still is observed some
sort of festival in celebration of the
ingathering of the grains and fruits of
the soil Moreover, religious services
of some sort have always had promi-
NEXT part in the festival. AS in ancient
times the peoples offered sacrifices
and gave offerings to some special
deity in gratitude for the present and
duplication for the future, so today
the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiv-
ing for the blessings of the present
and solemn prayer for their continu-
ance in the future are offered to God.
The Old Testament is filled with
exhortations calling the Hebrews to
bring their FIRST fruits" unto the
house of the Lord,-to adorn the tenn
pie with boughs and palm branches,
and continue the feast and rejoicing
for seven days. The ancient Egyptians
offered sacrifices and gave offerings of
corn and wine to Meth, the mother of
the sun. The ancient Teutons and
Scandinavians offered sacrifices to
Frey, the god of rain and sunshine
and the author and protector of all
fruits OF the soil. Although, for the
most part, present-day celebrations are
connected with the final ingathering
of the crops. the festive observance in
many countries is still made with the

other friendly Indians were hidden to
the feast. and brought with them four
dressed deer.

board making such an increase effec-
tive May 10th, the board claiming that
. careful survey of the increase in
losses over the last three-year period
makes this increase essential to pro-
tect the interests of the companies.
A motion was adopted requesting the
commission to suspend the new rates
for thirty to. sixty days so that there
could be further examination of the
subject with classification considered
individually and increases or decreases
allowed on the basis of experience.
The Kenosha Manufacturers associa-
tion, the Wisconsin State Manufacture
