FT Kit Armistice day
ThiHiksKlvlii I T li o
one u day of martial
thrills ami, miiyluips,
poignant memories;
tlio other with its les
son that "pence hath
its victories no loss re
nowned than those of
war." Wo may not
know Just yet how to
eelehratu November 11,
hecause of its newness as a day of na
tional observance, Hut ThsuiksjdvlnK
is real old-fashioned. So we know all
nbout the proper celebration of lids old
American holiday.
Popular opinion insists upon flxlns
the lli-ht TlmnkslvinK day in 1(521,
when the Pilgrims celebrated the Kiith
eritiK of their first harvest. They cer
tainly had n large feast ; It lasted live
days, and they and their Indian guests
ate at least live deer. The first Thanks
giving day observed In nil the states
was on Peeemhcr IS, 1777; It was rec
ommended by proclamation of the Con
tinental congress after the surrender
of Ilnrgoyne. For 11 years there
after congress recommended n dny of
thanksgiving, and the several states
made appointment In accordance. Then
there was an Interval in which the fix
ing or the date was left wholly to the
states. The llrst congress under the
federal Constitution adopted a reso
lution asking President Washington to
recommend a day for national thanks
giving and prayer, and the President's
proclinnatlon named Thursday, Novem
ber 2(5, of that year. The anti-Federalists
made such a rumpus over It
that it was not repeated until 1705,
when President Washington, without
recommendation by congress, set Feb
ruary IP as a day of thanksgiving.
Then Thanksgiving day apparently
went Into the discard as a national
holiday. Anyway, until 1S1." there
was no other national appointment.
In that year, by a resolution of con
gress and proclamation of the Presi
dent, April 14 was set apart as a day
of national thanksgiving for the res
toration of peace.
That was the end of an olllclal
national Thanksgiving dny for nearly
half a century. It was revived by
President Lincoln when ho appointed n
special day of thanksgiving for the vic
tory of Gettysburg. August 0, 1S03.
In tlio meantime tlio American peo
ple bad been celebrating Thanksgiv
ing day pretty much all over tho
Union, without bothering about presi
dential and gubernatorial proclama
tions. Tho American knows a good
thing when he sees it. President Lin
coln, being of tlio people, took occa
sion with bis Gettysburg proclamation
to nationalize the November Thanks
giving day. jio for (50 years or so
Thanksgiving eats have been attacked
and demolished ns n patriotic duly.

hut, if the truth must be told, most
of us are looking forward to our
Thanksgiving dinner as the main fea
ture of our Thanksgiving day think
ing of the good tilings we'll have, t
wo have the price; wondering where it
will come from, If we haven't.
Yes; "Thanksgiving Dny Some
Eats" comes pretty near being the slo
gan of our great American homo and
Family festival. So now for the
cats:
Would I could say with Charles
Lamb when ho wrote his odo to goose
berry pie "Full of my theme, O
Muse!" Still, the debating societies
continue to thunder over tlio question,
"Is anticipation superior to realiza
tion?" So mnybo I am better off as
I am. Certainly it would be a terrify
ing task to write this right after an
old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner,
hlack coffee, tobacco and peace Is what
a man wnnts then.
Turkey and cranberry sauce, Hint's
tho mnln thing. Really, you know, the
rest Is just llxln's. Nature's a pretty
good old dame, after all. What if she
had given us turkey and had forgotten
all about the cranberries? Why, the
two are Just mnde to go together sort
of gastronomic nihilities. One shud
ders at tho thought of egg without salt,
goose without apple snuce, duck with
out currant Jelly, hut turkey with
out cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving
is unthinkable.
The man who deliberately and with
malice aforethought eats turkey before
Thanksgiving day should bo put in Jail
until after Thanksgiving day, or put
through a psychopathic third degree,
lie's sticking out his tongue and mak
ing faces at old Mother Nature. Did
you ever get so thirsty that every sop
urate atom In you was shrieking like
n toothache for water? No? Well,
that's tho way to find out how cold
spring water tastes. Did you ever
shoot all day on u duck marsh when
tho spray froze on tho paddlo and
push-polo? No? Well, that's the way
to find out what a blazing llreplaco
feels like. That's Nature's way.
Why, n man ought to approach that
sacred Thanksgiving dinner only after
wire fence. Such, Is tho perversity of
humnn nnture, that many people still
get their exercise by Jumping the wlro
fence on tho llrst man's place.
J ho other is undisturbed. Collier's

Peat-Cuttlno In Ireland.
The pent-cutting Industry Is carried
on very profitably In Irelnnd. Work
usually begins at tho bogs at the end
of April. Tho skilled cutter, who tins
two men with low sldeless wheelbar
rows In attendance, uses a kind of
purification like that of tlio knights of
old. He ought to go to It hungry. Ila
ought to go to that turkey fairly trem
bling with the anticipation of nearly
a year of abstinence. You know thut.
1 know It. Everybody knows It. Alas,
that this Twentieth century civiliza
tion of ours with its manifold food
vagaries Is no longer sane, safo and
sober I
And someone with renlly devilish In
genuity should think up punishment
to lit the crime for the housewife who
blocks the way to the turkey with ape
tlzers and cocktails and soups and
oysters and such Hike. Mo, I want to
sit hungry and plumb emptS" and watch
the carving of the turkey and tremblo
with expectation and water at tho
mouth. I want my tlrst mouthful of
my Thanksgiving dinner to bo turkey
and cranberry sauce turkey and cran
berry sauce, and nothing else.
Of course I expect to fuss around
later with shilling and mashed pota
toes and gravy and mavbo candled
sweet potatoes and innyho even
creamed onions. And doubtless I'll
llnd time for more thnn one long swig
of sweet cider. Hut turkey's my ment
Thanksgiving dny. Tho rest Is Just
llxln's, as aforesaid.
Salad? Well, It all depends upon
the man and how many times Ids
plate has gone up to tho carver and
what's coining. And If there's pump
kin pie and Herkimer county cheeso
coming as thero should be I know
one man who Is not Interested In tho
salad or In anything but that pie and
thnt cheese. The festive board may
groan with good tilings, and keep on
groaning for nil ho cares.
And whllo wo nro sitting nround
after, at peace with all tho world and
the Inhabitants thereof, let's pause to
give n kindly thought and grateful to
Lo, the poor Indian. For It was ho
who Introduced the wild turkey to tho
Pilgrim Fathers. And It was ho who
discovered to him tho pumpkin pie.
The Indian of eastern Anierlca may
have been a poor, Ignorant savage, ac
cording to some standards, but ho had
good tasto in ents. And ho was 'no
fool ns an agriculturist. Ho plant
ed his corn In rows. And up tho
cornstalks climbed tho benn vines. And
between the rows grow the pumpkin,
shading the ground and keeping down
tho weeds. Hominy, com pone, corn
menl mush, stowed pumpkin, succo.
tush, niaplo sugar, cranberries, mil
nutter why, somebody ought to set
up n monument to those noblo red men
alongside Plymouth Itockv
spade, cnlled a slano, tho sods being
cut up and removed o dry Innd. A
fow days inter, when tho sods have
become a Ilttlo less soggy, they aro,
spreail carefully all over tho ground
and left to dry. Tho next stop Is to
pllo tho turf Into n sklllfully-mndo
heap, which allows tho wind to pnss
between tho different pieces. Usually
It .Is two or three months before the
peats aro ready for uso as fuel. Peat
Is used in, Ireland to such nn extent
that few people In tho country districts

THE TEXAS HOSPITAL PLAN
Stato Department Places Work First
on List Financing the Responsi
bility of All Units.
"Tho department of Texas places
hospital work llrst and considers It a
privilege to do
everything possi
ble In this serv
ice," writes Miss
Ada May Mad
dux, secretary of
the department of
Texas. And her
report of the hos
pital work which
lias been done In
Texas during tho
past year bears

pital fund was instituted May 23, 121.
The llrst check which came Into head
quarters was from Santa Anna, a unit
so young that It had not yet received
Its charter. The Wichita Falls auxil
iary, known as "Ma hurdick's unit,"
Was among the llrst to contribute.
Since then approximately .?(5,f)(K) has
been deposited In tlie hospital fund,
four Legion posts having sent In, with
out solicitation, about $.100 of the
hinounty One post held a goat-roping
contesto raise fuixls and others sent
In the receipts of their poppy sales,
Tho object of the state fund Is to
make the Ihianclng of Hie hospital
work the responsibility of all units, not
limited to the ones nearest the hos
pitals. Tho State hospital committee,
a chairman elected by the state con
vention and three members from each
unit situated near a hospital for ex
service men, handles the money that
comes In. The clinlrnian directs tlio
work, Instructs her committee, ap
proves btntements and vouchers, pre
pares bulletins and does an enormous
amount of work among the bojs them
selves. Mrs. David M. Duller of Hous
ton served faithfully In that capacity
last year, and Mrs. J. Ward McKeo,
also of Houston, Is the active chair
man. The report says: "Mrs. Murray's
messages to the units In the hospltnl
bulletins and her vision In the hospital
work lias Inspired the Texas units to
accomplish nil this. It was her Idea,
also, thnt tlio units adopt patients and
break the monotony of days In tho hos
pltnl wards by writing to them and
sending little gifts. Greatest help is
given to men without compensation,
but men with compensation who need
cheering nro adopted also."
Mrs. Edward Clinton Murray of
Houston is president of the depart
ment of Texas, and is also one of the
national vice presidents of tho Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary. She was one of
tho llrst organizers of the auxiliary in
Texas and wns elected to tho stato
presidency when tho organization wns
formed In Snn Antonio In December,
1020. Under her direction mnny units
hnve been formed nnd It Is her pur
pose nt 'present to establish a unit for
each of tho 201 Legion posts In Texas.
Two of her policies are Justice for dis
abled soldiers and discouragement of
memorials which nro not of some liv
ing good to the men.
The department of Texns was first
to contribute to the national hospltnl
fund.
