High Demand For
Meat Forecast
For Next Year

Next year will be another year
of large supplies of red meat. And
consumption is also expected to
continue high. Retain prices in
1854 are expected to average about
the same as in 1858. This was the
prediction today of the Lincoln
County agent for the State College
Extension Service.
He summed up the findings of
the recent Agricultural Outlook
Conference. For Is years, he said,
cattle prices have been unusually
high as compared with prices for
all farm commodities. Now, even
though they are at the lowest point
since 1916, cattle prices are still
more favorable in relation to other
farm prices than they were during
the 1904 base period which is
used for parity computations.
"They are lower, however, than
could be considered normal at this

OLD DOGS AND NEW TRICKS

is good at the ripe old age of eighty as is at the
age Of twelve Of learning varies with the indvl

they fail to remember faces and telephone numbers
they once did.
However the probable is that the older people
are not impressed, not interested as they
were in learning new faces and numbers Often there

less
This is encouraging news to most of the country

The early American settlers were hardy and

facing that hostile wilderness too great for
them to rely themselves alone They needed Gods
help they gladly sought itand they frankly acknowl

acknowledge that like them, need Gods help.
That believe, is why our churches today are
crowded; why religion is frequently talked
about why faith seems more and more, to be some
thing men and women and young people frankly try to
live by.
One of the undertakings dedicated to such re-
vival of faith is the non-sectarian movement known

Nationwide, fewer cattle are be-

smaller next year, but the supply

THANKSGIVING

The observance of an annual day
of thanksgiving has its origin IN
early mankind's deepest religious
consciousness-going back through
the centuries to the time when men
first realized their dependence up
On a Higher Power.
It's observance in our country on
fixed day and on national scale
stems directly from 36-year cam
paign carried on by a devout and
devoted woman editor, Mrs. Sarah
j. Hale, of Boston. She began her
movement to have the last Thurs
day in November designated as
Americas Thanksgiving Day in
1927, but it was not until 1868, with
Abraham Lincoln in the White
House, that she succeeded.
In an editorial in Godey's Lady's
Book, which she edited, Mrs. Hale,
in September, 1868, began with
this text from the Bible:
Then he said unto them, Go
your way and eat the fat and drink
the sweet and send persons unto
them for whom nothing is prepar
ed; for this day is holy unto the
Lord; neither be ye sorry, for the
joy of the Lord is your strength
Nehemiah, VIII:10."
Then Mrs Hale continued:
Thus commanded the inspired
Lea 1er of the Jews when they kept
the Feast of the Weeks In a time
of national darkness and sore trou-
bles, shall we not recognize that
the goodness of God never faileth,
and that to our Father in Heaven
we should always bring the
Thanksgiving offering at the inga-
thering of the harvest?"
In her long campaign, Mrs. Hale
bombarded the Presidents and the
Governors of all the states with let
ters urging that November's final
Thursday be proclaimed Thanks
giving Day. AS result, 80 states
observed the holiday in 1859, and
four years later President Lincoln
to whom she had sent her stirring
editorial, issued the first Thanks
giving Day proclamation in our
country's history! e 9TsY p3
