 CHICAGO, March 1.-If any Big Ten athletes cover themselves with glory at this summers Olympic track and field fiesta at Los An geles, the chances are that alumni thinly -clads will turn the trick,
 With only two exceptions, ath- letes of current Western conference track teams appear to have little chance of lifting themselves to places on Uncle Sam's squad.
 At the moment Clarence Mum. Minnesota's football stalwart and 1g3l conference shotput champion and Jack Keller, Ohio State hurdler are the sole Big Ten stars who have shown enough talent to be considered definite prospects.
 But the ranks of the recently graduated it's a different story,
 Already Orval Martin, ex-Purdle middle distance ace, and George Simpson, former Ohio State sprintsr, have gone into intensive training under auspices of the Los Angeles Athletic club.
 Ed Gordon, negro who won con- ference and National Collegiate A. A. broad jumping titles almost monotonously for three years while at Iowa is still there as graduate student and undoubtedly will be ill the forefront of American candi- dates in the event.
 Eddie Tolan, Michigan's mid night express" who finished colle- giate competition last spring. will be among the sprinter candidates While Dale Let's of Chicago, out standing collegiate half-niler of 1881, likely would welcome a trip to the Pacific slope.
 Two pole vaulters who staged many close duels during their junior and senior years, are probable can- didates Warne of North western and Verne McDernnott of l Illinois.
 At Indiana university is perhaps the largest cluster of postgraduate
 prospects. There E. c. Billy Hayes, also head football coach for the Crimson, is grooming squad, including their alumni and two others now in their senior year for i Olympic berths.

 A knife plunged into Ash's vitals could scarcely have made him bend double and rock to and fro like that thrust of Preston's.

 Preston rose to loom darkly menacingly over his son.

 Two United States Coast Guard craft in Juneau for brief time early today. While the cutter Tallapoosa, Commander GIN. Dench, was at her moorings at the gov- ernment pier, the patrol vessel Alert, with Warrant Officer Albert Nelson in command, came into port and made fast alongside the larger boat.

CAMPAIGN TALK

1t is tribute to the intelligence of the
American people that they do not take cam
paign talk too seriously, nor long hold
grudges because of such talk. In every cam
paign, whether national, state or local, many
loose statements are made in the heat of de-
bate-even by persons who are ordinarily
dignifed and restrained.
After the election, most of the asper-
sions so freely made are forgiven and for
gotten. There are exceptions, of course, es-
pecially among candidates and their leading
supporters but the rank and file of citizens
generally lay aside their partisan feelings
soon after the smoke of battle has cleared
away.
A similar good-natured tolerance is dis
played toward those who make wild predic-
tons respecting the outcome of elections.
The most preposterous claim on the part of
political managers are passed over after the
actual results of a campaign are known. It
is expected beforehand that these managers
will claim everything, whether there is any
reasonable basis for their claims or not.
1t may be remembered that on the eve
of the 1912 election, Chairman Hills conf
IDENTIFY predicted the reelection of President
Taft, who carried only two states. While this
was the poorest prediction on record, many
before and since have been almost equally
absurd.
So, now that the campaign is over and
the verdict of the voters is in, we may well
forget for while that we are either Repub-
icans, Democrats or what not, and unite, as
good Americans all, in the task of restoring
our beloved country to prosperity and happi-
ness. Through good will and unity of action
it can be done
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1932-11-17

She founded the first Seaman's Aid So
ciety in Boston, raised large sum in aid
of the Bunker Hill monument and was active
in many movements for the advancement of
women. When in her early forties Mrs. Hale
began her long campaign for making Thanks
giving Day a national holiday and it's eele-
bration on the same date throughout the
country
For about twenty years she wrote edi-
torials in her magazine, and bombarded pres
idents and governors with personal letters in
support of the idea. Finally President Lin
coin adopted her suggestion in 1864 and des-
ignated the fourth Thursday of November
as day of national Thanksgiving. Since
then his example has been followed by all
succeeding presidents.
While it will seem to many that they
have little in the way of material blessings
for which to be thankful this year, we may
be mindful of the spirit of sympathy and
practical helpfulness which has greatly de-
veloped during the trying times through
which we are passing. Never before has
such interest been shown in the plight of
the unfortunate, nor more earnest and sac
rifcing efforts made for their relief. For
these manifestations we may be thankful, as
well as for the indications that conditions
have begun to improve, and that faith in our
national future is fully justified

THANKSGIVING DAY

How the observance of day of Thanks
giving by the Pilgrims after their first har-
vest in 1921 was the beginning of what has
become national custom is well known The
story of how this custom gradually became
widespread has also been frequently told
But few of this generation know that
the establishment of a uniform date for
Thanksgiving Day was brought about by a
woman, Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale, born in
Newport, N. H., in 1888. Left widow with
five children she took up writing as a means
of support, and was the editor of woman's
magazine from 1928 until 1877.
