Since there are five Thanksgvings in November this

Thanksgiving that prevailed in the minds of many peo
pie several years 1t will be recalled that observance
was divided in 1885, 1910 and 1911 during the admins
tration of Franklin d. Roosevelt.
From the year 1868 when Abraham Lincoln issued
proclamation to that effect Thanksgiving Day had
been designated as the fourth, last Thursday, in
November. In the three years mentioned President
Roosevelt proclaimed the preceding Thursday for observ
ance The governors of states followed the pres-
Dental lead while others stuck to the traditional Thurs
day. H
To end the confusion, Congress, on December &C.
passed joint resolution to the effect that each year
the fourth Thursday should be known as Thanksgiving
Day. Hence, Thanksgiving Day, 1850, will fall on

THANKSGIVING

BY Ernest E. L. ParIett
Father of Light, Who guides our way,
We're gateful on Thanksgiving Day
For life and health, for showers and sun,
And starry sky when day is DONE
Thanks for food, clothing, homes and kin
Who love us. Thanks for hearts that win
The love of friends who help us too.
Lord keep us pure and kind and true
We are so small and Thou so great
We don't always appreciate
The many things that Thou hast made -
Bright birds that sing in forest shade;
Beautiful trees and flowers sweet
Dear God our world is so complete. ..
Guide us in all we do, we pray,
Throughout our lives, during each day.

A Plattsburg IN. " man yester-
day was accused of using a marked
deck of cards to fleece a Balti-
more businessman of more than
$1,000 in a friendly" blackjack
game in a downtown hotel Thurs
day night.
Charged with larceny by trick
is William T. Murphy, 81. who
was held on $500 bond by United
States Commissioner Cyril S.
Lawrence a few hours after the
game broke up. The case was
continued until November /.
The victim was William H. En-
gelmann, vice president of an ink
company, who is staying at the
Wardman Park Hotel.
Capt. Otto P. Fuss, head of the
robbery squad. said Mr.. Engel-
mann and business associate met
Murphy and friend at an after
hours club last night. Murphy
suggested they all go to his Am
bassador Hotel room. After they
got there, Murphy suggested a
game of blackjack, Capt. Fuss re-
ported.
According to Mr.. Engelmann's
report to police, he had lost more
