Thanksgiving Day

observance.

Thanksgiving day is older than the
authentic records Of history. For vic
tory won, calamity survived, for good
hunting, man was assuredly giving
thanks long before he knew how to
classify himself In the world in which
he lived.
If the latest deductions OF the scien-
lists are right, man was cOntempo-
raneOus with some of the great beasts,
reptiles and birds which it was once
thought had the earth to themselves.
There must have been some rare out
bursts Of Joy in that long ago when
our ancestors occasionally got the
best of an ichthyOsaurus, put a dino
saur out of business, knocked out q
dinOtherium, or killed a mammoth.
These were imprOmptu thanksgivings,
however, and usually of a strictly pri-
vate nature. II wasn't safe in those
days to make too much noise about
such a victory; the response might
come in the guise of a new attack by
a monster OF land or air, or from hu-
mans whose desire to kill might be
based on jealousy, greed or mere lust
for conquest. 1t is more than likly
that the victorious individual or fam
lily told the story Of his or their PROV
ess to a select few in the recesses of
their caves, when the entrances there
to had been made secure for the night.
First Formal Thanksgiving.
Newfoundland was the scene of the
first recorded formal Thanksgiving
service held on the continent. That
was in 1857. and 1t was conducted by
q clergyman who accompanied the ex-
peditiOn which under Sir Martin Fro
bisher, a noted navigator and explorer,
had brought the first English immi-
grants to settle in North America.
That must have been a strange and
picturesque ceremony. OF itself the
Atlantic sea voyage in that age was
an adventure few but the most adven-
turOus undertook without fear. To
the peTils of the sea to what then
served for ships, had to be added the
dangers from ships Of other nations,
and from the freebOOters who knew
neither flag nor race when they had a
chance to loot and slay. FrObisher
and his rough SailOrmen, no doubt,
took part in the service, though they
would not be so impressed as were the
settlers at being on land again even
though that land was strange, and
their hearts full of fears and ankle
ties.
1t is a far cry from that observ-
anCe in the ancient colony to the
Thanksgiving of the present genera
tiOn. To the youth the day is synony-
nous with holiday attractions, roast
turkey, and other appetizing delica-
cies. To their elders there is inter
woven in the joys of family reunions
and social intercourse and thanksgiv-
ing for the harvests, tender thoughts
and sincere tributes to the men whose
valOr and endurance in the World war
gave our country a new status in
world leadership.
Pilgrims Celebration.
There have been some changes in
time and methods of observing the
day on this continent, since Frobish.

that are prevalent throughout the
entire interior of the United States.
The grain farmer is complaining of
his high transportation costs. The
rancher and the sheepman of the west
are equally concerned about the costs
of moving their stock and their wool
to market. The manufacturer spends
much of his time figuring over rate
sheets. The merchant is vitality con-
cened and the banker is no less in
terested when the question of trans
portation comes up, as it does daily
IN connection with the business of his
customers. Agriculture, mining,
manufacturing, the wholesale and re-
tail business all are concerned, over
increased transportation costs and
over some method of reducing them.
Frequently, perhaps too frequently,
this concern expresses itself in an at
tempt Of one community to secure
preferential railroad rates as against
another community. But these local
attempts to secure special transpor-
tation privileges are symptoms of a
general condition and it is a general
general condition rather than with
the local situation that this series Of
articles intends to deal.

In 1927 to carry the principles of a
practical and militant Christianity
into every hamlet and village
throughout the United States. One
bf the most unique religious move

planned, enlisting the foremost
bishops of the Episcopal Church,
with scores Of its leading priests
and laymen Of national reputation,
and women whose names are house
hold words all over the land.
Plans for the campaign are un-
derway in this city and vicinity, as
well as in every parish and mission
station Of the Church. During the
first two months of 1927 stimuli
taneously, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and from the lakes
to the Mexican border, day and
night, these Representatives will
be engaged in q wide spreading eff
fort which, initiated by the House
of Bishops Of the Episcopal Church.
and backed by the National Council
of the communion, has been given
the name of ''The Bishops Crusade. {"
It's promoters announce that it is
not campaign to raise money, to
proselytize among members of other
communiOns, nor even primarily q
movement to gain new members for
the Episcopal Church. As defined
by its leaders it is a crusade to Sc
cure a new allegiance to the whole
Christian program, particularly that

part of all communicates.
The Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman,
D. D., Bishop Of Washington, IN a
statement outlining the Crusade,
says: "There are abundant evi-
dences that all about US in the Sc
eular world there is a new and
pressing demand for an exposition
OF the life and teachings Of Him

THAT Christ has a message for the
Modern world, adapted to modern
needs, is one of the most demon.

Feast Not Complete
Without the Pumpkin

To the ringing chorus Of praise to
corn and wheat, to dairy cow and beef
steer, to fattening pOrker and fleece
lined sheep, we desire here and now to
add our piping voice In a word Of
praise to the punkin. Not pumpkin
-punkin. Nesting in yellow, glObu-
lar beauty amidst the corn rows, the
glorious pie punkin gives promise Of
gustatOry delights in the immediate
future. Gazing upon the punkin's gOl-
den rOtundity one may almost catch
the incense Of spice and cinnamon,
and taste the richness that is soon to
be. Flecking the brown and sere fields
with specks Of gold, even as the aurif-
erOus metal flecks the quartz wrested
from Mother Earth by the pick of the
miner, the pie punkin adds to human
comfort while contributing to human
delight.
OF humble station, with few to
sing its praises, it has been the
standby of succeeding generations.
Demanding little, it gives much. With
out it Thanksgiving would be hollow
mOckery. 1t graces alike the table
Of the rich and aristOcratic, and the
table Of the tOiler in humble place.
1t has all season for its own. for Il

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
BY THIS SULPHUR

Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and haai skin that IS irri-
tated or broken out with eczema; that

or is rough or dry. Nothing subduss
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
is gone and the skin is delightfully."- clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
a skin remedy because it destroys the
parasites that cause the burning, itch

ers time, though the basic principle
has remained. The Pilgrim Fathers
gave to 1t a cOloring that has not
faded out entirely through succeeding
centuries. At the "ingathering" of
their first harvest In 1921, the people
who had come from the old one TO
establish a New England. held a serv-
ice and celebration. Governor Brad
ford sent out four men to shoot wild
fowl, and they bagged enough, most
ly turkey according to the chroniclers.
to satisfy all the company for about
a week.
Edward Winslow, one Of the May
flowers company, thus wrote of the
celebration to an English friend:
"Our harvest being gotten in our
governor sent four men on fOwling,
that so we might, after a special
manner. rejoice together after we had
gathered the fruit of our labOrs.
Provided for Feast.
"They four in one day killed as
many fowl as, with a little help be-
side, served the company almost a
week, at which time, amongst other
recreatiOns, we exercised our arms,
many Of the Indians coming amongst
us. and among the rest their greatest
king, MassasOt. with some ninety
men, whom for three days we enter
tanned and feasted; and they went out
and killed five dear, which they
brought to the plantation, and be-
slowed on our governor, and on the
captain and the others.
"And although it is not always so
plentiful as it was at this time with
us, yet by the goodness of God, we
are so far from want, that we wish
you partakers of our plenty"
Miles Standish is said to have been
the captain Of those who exercised"
their arms and the armed men under
him are reputed to have numbered a
few more than twenty on this Oc-
caSiOn.
Trials Of endurance, races on land
and water, and exhibitions Of skill
were part Of the celebration from
day to day.

donable pride that Mexico. torn by
years Of internal struggles, announces
that she places her public debt on an

within and without Mexico, who were
responsible for the De La Huerta re-

to resume interest payments upon her
public debt in 1923.

THE funds for this purpose were on

Mr.. Elias states that expenditures in
suppressing the revolt were go great
that when President Gales took Office
the Mexican treasury was empty. and
that II was necessary at first to pay
the salaries of civil servants. which
we're in arrears, and to reimburse
Mexican business men who had come

The new agreement with the bond
holders was made in January 1926
providing for fixed monthly payments
