THANKSGIVING DAY

Very country has special days " whi ch have been set aside and obser- we'd as ho1i days in memory of some great person or event. There are nd national legal holidays in the Uni- ted States, but days are set aside In every state by acts of the State Le gi slatures as holidays. Thus, we have acquired New Years Day, Memori- |. Il Day, Fourth of ly(Independence and Chri stmas as holidays in every stote. Washington's Birthday, L1ncoln's Rirthday, end Armi stice [ Y are quite generally observed. cc lumbus Day is celebrated in 35 states.
 We have all heard the story many t-n5 Of how in the second year of the Pilgrim Colony the ri chness of the harvest exceeded all expecta- men into the woods to shoot wild biros. "We will hold g harvest feost of Thanksgiving" he said, and they invited the Indi ans to come and r. .cice with them. This harvest fcast lasted three days. The cust on spread through the colonie es- until it wo9 generally observed every year. General Washington made the first Th4 nks giving Proclamation in Nov- ember l789.
 However, Thanks giving was mainly a state affair until the Civil War when Line oln made his Proclamation appointing the last Thursday in November s Thanksg giving Day. After Lincolnis a ssas sinat lon it almost passed cut of existence, but later Presidents revived the idea. Each year the President issues the Proclamation to the Governors of the States 3y, turn make the Proc1amati on in their respective states or territ ories. The days may. not be the same in all the states, because there Is no set time established by law. When Presi l dent Roosevelt proclaimed Thanks giving Day one week earlier than had been the custom for many years, he was merely psetttng a precedent .,

Golden Wedding Anniversary OF MIR.
And Mrs. Henson Good Saturday

he had "A buggy wheels in his shop
at one time. During the year 1908
he put 5469 shoes on horses, and in
icy seasons it was impossible to keep
up with work, even with added
helpers.
Good also was an expert at sharp
ening and tempering plow shears.
Marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Good
took place on April %, 1894, at
Scott's Crossing, Ohio, with Rev. S.
A. Hunsaker the officiating minister.
Three surviving children of five
all reside in Lima. They are Earl
Good, Mrs. Esther Sharp and Mrs.
Edith Turner.
No plans for a celebration are

II. r. Townsend, of Columbus,
Ohio, Commissioner of High School
athletics, was the speaker at ban
uuet honoring Bluffton Highs crack
basketball team of last winter, held
Monday night in the Walnut Grill.
In his first visit here, Townsend
complimented the Bluffton team on
its outstanding record of going thru
the regular season undefeated.
He said that basketball now is the
favorite national game, and that
Ohio has its share of outstanding
teams.
More than 300 Ohio High schools
last winter had coaches who were
not teachers because of the inroads
of the selective service draft. This
is in violation of state athletic regu-
lations, but in the present emergency
it is accepted. A non-teacher coach
is someone about town who volun-
teers his services and acts without
pay.

needs of the family for good nutri-

needs of the family for good nutri-
ton.
Beginning gardeners should keep
their plots relatively small. 1t is
better to undertake a small plot
and do a good job of planting and
maintenance than to start with a
large plot only to find that it is too
large to care for properly during the
summer months. A 30x50-foot plot
is sufficient for family of three or
four.
Select plot of good garden soil
that is well drained and free from
distractions and heavy shade. Pre-
pare the soil when it is in work
able condition, Incorporating liberal
quantities of organic matter and
commercial fertilizer.
The choice of crops should be such
that they will provide ample quaint
ties of mineral and vitamins. This
can be done by growing at least two
leafy vegetables, two pod crops, two
root crops, tomatoes, and cabbage
and any four other vegetables.
Provide for succession and COM
panion crops so that the whole area
is in use from early spring until fall.
Plan the entire garden on paper at
the start noting the time of sowing.
the quantity of each crop and the
space and the period occupied by
each crop. A sample plan is given
in the Extension Service Victory
Garden bulletin available from your
county agricultural agent.
Planting should be done in well
prepared soil and provisions made
for mulching, irrigating, and pest
control as needed throughout the
growing season. If the garden is
carefully planned and we'll main
tanned it should supply all the fresh
vegetables needed and an adequate
quantity for canning and storage.
