THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving Day is our
oldest national American holt
day,-older by a hundred and
fifty years than Independence
Day, for the anniversary dates
from the year 1921. It's origin
is familiar to almost every
American, when a few Pill
grims who had survived the
terrible hardships of winter in
the wilderness of the New
World, planted in the spring,
and reaped harvests later, for
which they offered up. thanks.
and celebrated by a feast OF
thanksgiving.
If these hardy people, with
so little, could give such whole
hearted thanks for what they
were permitted to enjoy, how
much more thankful should we
be at this day and date, even
with SO much distress in our
midst.
BY proclamation of the Pres
ident. Thursday, November "a,
has been designated for OBJ
servance this year as Thanks
giving Day.
So let us hold fast to the
principals of our rugged fore
fathers. Let us not forget the
source Of all our blessings, and
in places of worship and
around our firesides on the date
designated by the President,
return thanks for the blessings
we are permitted to enjoy in
larger measures than we have
deserved, looking hopefully in
to the future and preparing to
naeFit the rewards that come
from honest work and right
living.

The history of the tuberculosis

Part of this has been due to the

zIEGFELD .sHOw BOAT
At FOrd's Theatre, Baltimore,
Week OF November 21st

"Show Boat" Florenz Zieg-
fields last and best musical
play, which comes to Ford's
Theatre, Baltimore, Monday,
November 21st, Thanksgiving
Week., with matinees Thanks
giving Day and Saturday, will
afford playgoers the very last
chance to see and enjoy mus
ic play personally produced by
him and left intact.
"Show Boat" has a fascina-
ting story founded on Edna
Ferber's novel. On the SCOT
ton Blossom" an old-fashion-
ed show boat, playing up and
down the Mississippi, Captain
Andy Hawks, it's proprietor,
lives and moves and has his
being. With him are Partly
Ann, his straight-laced Massa-
chusetts wife, and his daughter
Magnolia, and the troupe
which presents the show boat
plays.
In adapting this book for a
musical play, Oscar Hammer
stein II has shown an extraor-
binary understanding of all
the humor, love, patohs and
novelty in the charming story.
Jerome Kern, foremost of
American composers, has ar
ranged a musical score which
brings out all the loneliness of
native folk music and modern
tunes. The songs that the ir-
resistible Magnolia" sings are
among the most delightful mo-
ments in "Show Boat" "Rav-
enal," the captivating gambler
who wins the heart Of Magno-
liza, has his melodies, too,-
Suave, ingratiating, wondrous-
ly tuneful. A background such
as this, a book so perfect, and a
score so attractive were all
that Mr.. Ziegfeld needed for
what he considered the most
pretentious production in his
career.
A cast Incompatible for it's
brilliance and varied talents
was selected by Mr.. Ziegfeld.
The role of Magnolia is exquis-
itely portrayed by Norma Ter
ris. Helen Morgan plays Ju-
lie; Eva Puck plays ELY, and
her partner and husband in the
play is Sammy White. Jules
Bledsoe is seen as Joe; Will
liam Kent portrays Cap'n Andy
and Bertha Belmore plays Par
thy, his shrewish wife. Nota-
BILE players are in support of
the principal artists and in
clude Paul Keast, Annie Hart,
Laura Clarion, Jack Daley, AL
Ian Campbell, George Black
wood, Robert Farley and 9TH
ers. The famous Jubilee Sing
ers, an ensemble of colored
vocalists, form an important
feature and are picturesque
types of the negro element of
the South, in drastic contrast
to the Ziegfeld glorified Amer
lean Beauties.

COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
Applicant For Scholarship
Petition For Bus Route

Petition For Bus Route
The Board of Education met
in regular session on Monday,
November 7th. Those present
were Fred Lewis, President;
Mrs. Eleanor ]. Moore, Vice
President, and ]. e. Crothers.
The minutes Of the regular
meeting Of October 18th and
special meeting Of October
18th, were read and approved,
and sundry bills ordered paid.
Because Of the confusion in
the bids for Washington school,
the Board of Education reject
ed the bids received. They
then authorized their Attorney
to word a letter setting forth
the definite interests which the
Board of Education has for
sale. This interest will then
be advertised for bids. Upon
receipt of this, action will then
be taken upon the sale of the
interests which the Board of
Education has in that property.
The Board authorized, also,
their Attorney to give to them
a statement of the interests
which they have in the Oak
Grove School, No. II, District
5, which would then be offered
for sale at the same time of
the Washington School.
The Board of Education au-
thorized the County Superin-
tendent to inform Senator Will
liams that there had applied
for the st. Mary's Female Sem
mary Scholarship, Miss Lucy
w. Morgan, of Cecilton, Mary
land, who is recommended to
him as a desirable applicant
for this scholarship. The
County Superintendent was,
also, told to refer to Senator
Williams, the fact that the
scholarship to Charlotte Hall
School was vacant.
A letter from the State
Board of Education and the
State Superint e n d e n t of
Schools, concerning the trans
portation of private school
pupils on public school buses
was read. This letter states
that "only public school child
rem should be permitted to ride
on a public bus"
The Board of Education then
carefully examined the audit
made by Charles o. Hall of the
books of the Board of Educa-
ton of Cecil County for the
year ending July 81, 1892.
A petition for a bus route
from Bacon Hill to the Elkton
school was received and con-
sidered. The Board decided
that it was unable in any way
to act favorably upon the pc
tition received because there
was no money in it's budget to
care for this transportation.
An excerpt from the Report
of the Supervisors of the white
schools, of work done for the
school year 1912 was read
by the Board of Education.
They requested the County SUI
perintendent to invite the SUI
pervisors to attend the Deem
Der meeting of the Board of
Education to talk over with
them the work which they are
doing in the schools of the
county.
A petition was received from
the patrons of the Fair Hill
school, asking that an addi-
t1onal teacher be placed at that
school. Because the attend
ance and enrolment at that
school did not justify this adj
ditional teacher, and because
of lack of funds, the Board Of
Education decided that they
would be unable to grant this
request.

CHRISTMAS NAMES CAUSE
MUCH FUN AND CONFUSION

the 13-year-old daughter of Charles
Christmas who lives at Owensville,
Ind. Owensville is a small enough
city so everyone knows Mary
Christmas and the novelty of wish
ing Mary punning holiday greetings
has long since worn off.
At Austin. Tex, a third Mary
Christmas, 25-year-old young
woman who used to live on Holly
street, didn't expect to spend such
merry. Christmas this year. She
is suffering from granulated eye
| lids. She said she found life much
easier since she moved from Holly
street.
One Christmas was unhappy to-
day. That was Mrs. Alma Christ
mas of Detroit, who doesn't want
to be Christmas any more. She
wanted a divorce from her hus-
band, John Christmas, for a Christ
mas present, but he is contesting
the suit.
And then there is Santa Claus
himself, 45-year-old tenant farm
er of Slater, Mo. Many of the
childish Christmas pleas to Santa
Claus find their way into his
hands. He is going to read every
letter this year as he always has.
But he won't be able to answer
SO many. Times have been hard
and Santa Claus said that with his
seven children to look after, money
for postage wasn't easy to spare.
Postmaster Jim Martin at Santa
Claus, Ind, will be busy, of course,
up to the last minute handling the
flood of letters which pour into
st. Nick's home town. The whole
town has been helping him the
last few days to make sure that
every letter is cleared through the
post office before Christmas dawns.
There are other Christmas towns
scattered through the country.
One is Christmas, Ariz., a bleak
little mining hamlet in the Drip
ping Springs mountains. The 300
miners, farmers and ranchers aren't
celebrating much this year. Econ
o:nic depression has pinched them.
The town was named for the
Christmas copper mine discovered
December 25, 1902.
Another is Christmas Cove, Me-,
in summertime busy summer
colony on Rutherford Island but
almost deserted at this time of
year. Significance of the name
has been lost. Some old inhabi-
tants believe the cove was settled
on Christmas day about a GEN.
tury ago. Others think the name
was given because the island
abounds in Christmas trees.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. "a. UP
John H. Mackenzie, "a, widely
known western mining engineer,

RUSSIAN PEASANTS OPPOSITION
TO FARM PLAN FORCES CHANGE

economic policy on general lines.
The central committee will meet
January 5 and continue through
January to draft the decree
which will put the plan into ef-
feet. Obviously it will be the most
important Soviet development OF
recent years.
The new acreage tax means vic
tory for the peasants. Although it
entails no departure from the COL
lectiyization policy itself, the tax
will represent a government con-
cession to the peasants, who op-
posed the arbitrary manner of car
rying out the grain collections.
Peasants were dissatisfied be-
cause collections were made from
standing crops, thus penalizing the
grower. Moreover, the methods of
collecting kept the peasant in a
continual state of suspense because
the governments agents, after
making one collection, might re-
turn for more.
Under the new acreage tax, peas
ants will be told before their plant
ing the exact amount of tax to be
demanded of them. The govern
ment thus hopes to stimulate pro-
duction and build up surplus
which may be sold on the open
market at uncontrolled prices.

-Yuletide liquor isn't the only
drink that will eat a hole through
nickel plated flask. The purest
of cows milk-the kind children
drink for breakfast-will do it, too,
according to University of Califor-

c. L. Roadhouse, professor of
dairy industry, disclosed today the
results of tests. He found that milk
will dissolve to some degree copper,

"Of all the metals tried, chrom-

ported, leaving the conclusion that
a milk fed baby must be tougher

CHICAGO, Dec. "a. U.P)-Merry
Christmas took on double meaning
today to folks who live in Christ
mas towns or boast Christmas
names.
To many of these the annual
celebration brought trouble and
bother from pun-lovers and prank
sters, but it was a gay sort of
trouble that most of them admit
ted they didn't mind.
The girls and women who bear
the name of Mary Christmas

Two of the Mary Christmases
