/ WHY PICK
THE TURKEY?

$1,000 A0AW4AAIA
Today. Thanksgiving Day, is
the day everybody gets the
bird, and have you ever won
dered why the turkey Is that
fortunate-or unfortunate-sym-
boil?
Early In American history the
turkey made its way to thanks
giving festive boards. AS early
as 1921 Governor Bradford, OF
the Massachusetts, Colony, order
ed men to go out in search of
game. They returned so laden
with wild turkeys that it was es-
tablished as a custom not yet
overridden. And more about the
turkey. Gaming for the Thanks
giving bird is not so new, for in
1777 when Washington issued a
Thanksgiving Day proclamation
to the Continental Army, tur-
key ''raffles" were nothing new
to the sportively inclined.
While the Puritans and Pill
grims are generally regarded as
having celebrated the first
Thanksgiving Day, it was first
celebrated in North America in
1878 in Newfoundland. Even in
the United States they were not
the originators. for in August,
1907 the day was observed on the
coast of Maine. That was years
before the Pilgrims even landed
on the famed storm-tossed Rock.
But the origin of the day as
one set apart for prayer and
blessing came at the hand Of
Governor Bradford when he pro-
claimed Thanksgiving to be OBJ
served on December Is, 1921. In
spite Of the high religious ideals
attached to the Pilgrims in our
early history, these stern fathers
were loathe to celebrate in
thanks without an abundance Of
material prosperity. So in 1922
when crops failed the Pilgrims
neatly forgot the thanks they
had offered q year before. In
1923 conditions frightened suf-
ficiently so that on July 30th
they resumed the custom.
1t was 1882 before the Thanks
giving Day assumed anything of
a cosmopolitan nature when in
that year Plymouth and Massa-
chussets Bay Colonies united in
offering thanks.
But in the South, the day was
practically unheralded until
nearly two centuries later. Then
in 1855 Governor Johns, of Vir-
ginia, requested from his legisla-
ture that he might proclaim a
day Of thanksgiving. He was
urged not to do so in the name
of politics as most of the south
erners regarded the day relic
of Puritanic bigotry for which
they had no love.
It remained for President
Johnson, successor to Lincoln, to
set aside the last Thursday In
November as national Thanks
giving Day. In 1855 his proclaim
alton marked the first annual
thanksgiving holiday.

Belgrade Man Had
Costly Deer Hunt
Deer Killed Out Of Season and In
Closed County Starts Heap
OF Trouble

1t costs money to 60 deer hunt
ing, and sometimes the expense
goes completely out Of proportion,
depending upon how, when and
where the hunting takes place.
1t cost VIM. Wengler, Of Bel
grade, 500 and costs Of "a plus his
gun, to have this fact impressed
upon his mind last week.
When a three-year old buck made
its way to the farm property of Mr..
Wengler, just southeast Of Bel
grade, he and five other Belgrade
, residents, who were at work there
at the time, decided to have a
change in their meat diet.
In their excitement at the
thought, they overlooked two very
important regulations connected
with the hunting Of deer-time and
place-as well as the grapevine"
telegraph. The result was that a
few hours later Game Warden
Erickson, of New London, was on
their trail and soon had them
rounded up. Charging them with
shooting deer out of season and
in a closed" county, the men fin
ally confessed their error.
Arraigned in justice court at Bel
grade Friday, Mr.. Wengler was fin
ed 500 and costs of 81. His gun
was confiscated and the venison,
practically all Of which had been
recovered, went into the possession
Of the Warden.
At the same time Edwin Plum
hoff, Ralph Rose, Nick thinner,
Leo Mohs, and Lawrence Kohl were
each fined $50 and costs Of 81 with
the alternative of serving 40 days in
jail. Mohs and Kohl took the Jail
term; the others paying their fines.

DAMAGE PATROL CAR

Highway Patrolmen from this
district were called to Cloquet last
week where a strike Of lumberjacks
has produced an alteration with
pulp producers. Roads were block
ed and traffic was stopped by the
strikers, hence Patrolmen were
called to keep the roads open.
When the local Patrolmen returned
their car was damaged consider
ably. Strikers, we understand, bent
tenders on the car and stripped off
the lights. The situation at Cloquet
became threatening and traffic

Derby Hopefu|s
Now Chartered

LOUISVILLE, KY, May High
spirited horse flesh, the finest in
the land, filled the stalls of historic
Churchill Downs today.
Most of the blooded colts which
will run in the siXty-third annual
Derby had already arrived, and a
large part of the throng which
will cheer them, was on hand for
the opening of the Downs racing
season this afternoon.
Today's program was only a mild
tune-up for the Derby itself, to be
run one week from today, but
thousands were to study every race
and time trial for indications OF a
Derby place winner.
Open Season
The Clark Handicap, which his
torically opens the season and
will also have its Sixty-third an
nual running this afternoon, lost
some of its Importance today
because only one Derby entry was
entered.
The one Derby eligible was
Chigre, owned by Hamilton Apple
gate Of Kentucky, and Chigre,
due to two mediocre perform
ances at Keeneland, was not fav-
ored to win in early predictions.
The experts nod wen to Count
Morse, from Warren Wright's
Calumet Farm Stables, to win
the Clark Handicap.
The fifth race at seven fur
longs just preceding the Clark
Handicap claimed more interest
from the Derby arrivals and hard
boots today than the handicap
itself, despite the latter's $4,000
added purse.
One Derby Starter
It was expected to determine at
least one Derby starter. with Case
Ace, My Grandson, Quincy and
Kermay, all Derby eligibles
entered.
Time trials, so far, have made
only one sure revelation-Reap
ing Reward is still a horse tc
beat. This much-favored entry
owned by Mrs. Ethel V. Mars, OF
Chicago, was clicked in the i'm
pressive time of lao 3-5 for a
