LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THANKSGIVING IN THE COMMUNITY VOL. XXIX. ONE of the very beautiful customs that has developed out of the general spirit of thanksgiving is the holding of appropriate and impressive services in the various churches of the city on the Sunday preceding Thanksgiving day. With special music, a special preacher and a special thank offering these services have become inspiring beyond the average religious services. To a very great extent the day is given over to the melting of religious creeds and differences into our grand furnace of tolerance and worship since union meetings embracing many denominations becomes the rule. This is as it should be. In recent years a rightful feeling of alarm has arisen over the growing numbers of non-church-goers and many have been the conjectures offered and remedies suggested by those who view in the condition a partial decay of our Christian ideals. Be this as it may, what better day could be chosen to set in motion a picture of attractiveness and beauty that will draw men, women and children once more to the mercy seat of God. If civilization is to be worthy of its designation then the Church must be given a larger part in the world's affairs. And the Church must be understood to mean simply the Body of Christ. It is not a man-made institution and for this reason man is too apt to misinterpret its true mission. "The Kingdom of God is within you," within you in song, within you in poetry, within you in industry, in life or death. There is not a person in Denver but what has cause for offering up praise and thanksgiving next Sunday. Saint and sinner, Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant all have received their blessing. They have then a common duty to discharge to Him who giveth all. Let Sunday next be your church-going day, and as for the churches, let them throw wide their doors to all. Let next Sunday be but the beginning of a church-going program to last through the year. Let next Sunday be but the beginning of a welcome effort on the part of the churches. Let us on that day forget the teachings of creed or denomination and admit into our heart of hearts the simple lessons and teachings of Him who said, "Thy will be done." It should be a glorious day, a day of rejoicing, of prayer and song. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you and praise Almighty God for His illimitable favors. Famine in Portuguese East Africa Famine in Portuguese East Africa NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 1922. A story of famine that threatens the life of at least 1,500,000 natives of Inhambane, Portuguese East Africa, was brought to New York office of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church today by the Rev. J. D. Pointer of Wilmore, Ky., who is just returning on furlough from missionary service in that country. Rev. and Mrs. Pointer have spent ten years in Inhambane and are now to have a year's rest in Wilmore, Ky. Mr. Pointer was formerly a pastor in Louisiana. According to Mr. Pointer, the famine area extends about 300 miles north and south and about 100 miles inland from the coast. About 1,500,000 people live there, of whom some 6,000 are Christians. The 1922 harvest, which usually comes in March or April, was State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House a total loss because of lack of rain. Most of the lakes have dried up and there is practically no irrigation. Corn and peanuts are the main crops, though the tapioca plant and sweet potatoes are also raised. None of these articles have been grown throughout the territory since March, 1921, and since the natives have no money, they have been unable to avail themselves of supplies coming by boat from the Transvaal. Even this grain has been held at the prohibitive price of $2 per bushel. As a result, large numbers of people have been dying since last April; the number will run into many thousands before the harvest of April, 1923, says Mr. Pointer. Then, if there is another crop failure at this time—as is not unlikely according to experts—it will be necessary to raise millions of dollars for food if wholesale disaster is to be prevented. The Portuguese officials in Inhambane, Mr. Pointer reports, are helping a little but nothing commensurate with the need and suffering. The Board of Foreign Missions has sent from its headquarters, 150 Fifth avenue, New York City, enough funds to purchase grain to keep the members of the Christian communities alive until spring; it has no funds available for more extensive relief. This Inhambane section of Africa has for many years furnished some 300,000 young men annually for work in the mines around Johannesburg. When the effects of the famine were first felt, there was a rush of men to the mines, but it was necessary to turn away many thousands. Many mines have been working only part time owing to strikes and a number have been flooded during the disorders and cannot be operated for some months. It was noticed also that the young men are not returning from Johannesburg after a year or two in the mines, as is their custom, but are remaining until the famine is over. The Board of Foreign Missions has also received word from Dr. J. C. Stauffacher, missionary in Inhambane, that "you can travel a day's journey in any direction and see several people dead or dying from starvation by the roadside. Last week on our farm at Kambini five were found dead before they could reach us. A little boy come to me yesterday and wanted to sell his little sister for two sacks of corn because he was hungry." Hero Saves Ship at Sea Hero Saves Ship at Sea New York, Nov. 23.—Filled with a stirring story of the magnificent heroism of Sam Christopher, Negro attendant, who rescued single-handed from the blazing hulk of the yacht Viking in the harbor of Port of Spain, Trinidad, an hour before dawn, Oct. 26th, strange animals, Jungle motion pictures and scientific data of incalculable value, Prof. William Beebe returned recently on the steamer Maraval from a nine months expedition in South America wilds with a party from the New York Zoological Society. The fire occurred while the vessel was lying at the Port of Spain, Trinidad. Sam Christopher is said to have performed prodigies of valor while the rest of the crew and expedition looked on useless from terror. BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO. SATUR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1922 DR. NORMAN FAVORED FOR HIGH POSITION DR. NORMAN FAVORED FOR HIGH POSITION Distinguished Washington Pastor in Lead for Presidency of the National Baptist Convention. ORGANIZATION was effected this week looking to the election of Dr. M. W. D. Norman, famous minister and pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, on "R" street, this city, to be president of the National Baptist Convention. The executive head of the National Body of Colored Baptists is the highest position in the church and is coveted by the leaders of the faith among the colored people. Local Indorsement. Dr. Norman, who is a great favorite among the local churchmen, was indorsed last Monday in an enthusiastic REV. M. W. D. NORMAN. meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Convention, which is composed of 175 ministers of the Gospel and 35,000 communicants. Resolutions were offered by Dr. William D. Jarvis not only indorsing Dr. Norman, but pledging the Baptist family of the District of Columbia and vicinity to "invest its best Christian endeavors to bring about the election of Dr. Norman to the presidency of the National Baptist Convention at its next meeting in St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 6, 1922." Commanding in appearance, loved by his conferers, learned not only in the Scriptures, but in the rules of order; brilliant as a pulpit orator, Dr. Norman presents an ideal claim for preferment. He has established a vast contact with the Baptist people throughout the country. Born in North Carolina, Aug. 27, 1867; educated at the State Normal School, Plymouth, N. C., and at Shaw University, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the institution; he prepared for his brilliant career by finishing up his equipment with a special course at Emerson School of Oratory at Boston, Mass. Later the Degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon him by Shaw University and the Degree of Doctor of Divinity by Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. In 1912 the degree of Doctor of Laws was given him by Guadalupe College of Texas and 1920 from Frelinghuysen University, Washington, D. C. Dr. Norman married Miss Fannie Bridges, an alumnus of Shaw University. He was dean of the theolog- --- Ideal Officer. Wilmington Daily Newspaper Calls Defeat of Layton a Warning to Republicans Wilmington Daily Newspaper Calls Defeat of Layton a Warning to Republicans Under the title, "Fair Warning," Every Evening, one of the leading daily newspapers of Wilmington, Dela., in its issue of Nov. 13, issued an editorial warning the Republican party, because of the defeat of Delaware's representative in Congress, Dr. Layton, by colored voters. The editorial bears out the contention made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and editorially by the Wilmington Advocate that colored voters emancipated themselves in the recent election. The editorial in Every Evening says in part: "It is an undeniable fact, eloquently revealed by the figures of the election, that the Negro voters of Delaware for once demonstrated their freedom from partisan slavery. Representative in Congress Caleb R. Layton gained the strong disapproval of Delaware Negroes by his opposition to the Anti-Lynching Bill now pending in Congress. They protested in advance against his renomination, but their protests were insolently disregarded. And at the election of last Tuesday, when the purely political contest was very close, Layton went down to defeat under an adverse majority of more than 6,000. Now fair warning is served on the managers of the Republican party in Delaware, that the Negroes will no longer consent to be mere party chattels, but must be recognized in accordance with their numbers and their voting influence in the party." ical department of Shaw University from 1893 to 1896; president for five years of Roanoke Institute, Elizabeth City, N. C., during which time he officiated as pastor in his native state. Then he was called to the pastorate of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Portsmouth, Va., and in four years doubled the membership of that congregation. From Portsmouth he was called to the leadership of the Metropolitan Baptist Church of this city, which is one of the largest and most influential churches in the connection. It has increased under his leadership from 600 to 6,000 and raised all a quarter million of dollars, paid all debts and now has a large bank balance to its credit. He has appeared as a publicist, as editor and author of several standard church publications, and possesses a wonderful personality, affable in manner and sympathetic in disposition, which endears him to all with whom he comes into contact. The activities of the National Baptist Convention are not new to Dr. Norman. For years he has been prominently identified with the national body and has contributed his fine ecclesiastical diplomacy to the settlement of many moot problems. He favors the unification of all Baptist forces in the country; the highest development of the various boards to a point of efficiency in Christian service; careful auditing in every expenditure and the installation of clearly defined business methods in the conduct of the affairs of the denomination. Withal he presents the claims of a logical, efficient, deserving candidate to succeed the late, lamented Dr. L. C. Morris. He will go up to St. Louis with the strongest support of any of the aspirants to the high place. Dr. Norman located here as the head of the National Baptist Convention, would not only be in close touch with the President, his Cabinet and members of Congress, but he would be a tremendous force for good for Negroes generally. N. A. A. C. P. Telegraphs Harding Asking Protection for Negroes in Texas N. A. A. C. P. Telegraphs Harding Asking Protection for Negroes in Texas Says Situation in Breckinridge Demands Dyer Bill Enactment. On receipt of news from Texas that Mexicans and Negroes were being driven from their homes in Breckinridge, Texas, and that the Mexican government had protested against the lynching of its national in the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People immediately telegraphed President Harding renewing its demand for enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and asking federal protection of colored United States citizens in the danger zone. The telegram which was signed by James Weldon Johnson is as follows: "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully calls your attention to international situation created by lynching of Mexicans as well as Negroes in Texas and again urges that Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill be endorsed by administration and enacted by Senate in order that the federal government may properly deal with this humiliating and dangerous situation. "In the meantime may we respectfully urge that federal protection be extended to colored United States citizens of Breckinridge, Texas, who are being driven from their homes by threats of violence." "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." $5,000 Bar Pin Found; Returned By Working Girl $5,000 Bar Pin Found; Returned By Working Girl New York, N. Y., Nov. 17.—She was just a poor working girl, but that didn't make any difference. She couldn't be nor feel dishonest. What was not hers, what she did not work for—well, that was somebody else's, she wanted and could have none of it. And, by the way, she was not white. Miss Winifred Jones, 349 Warren street, Brooklyn, employed as a dressmaker by Joseph & Co. at 20 West Fifty-seventh street, was on her way home when she glanced down at the curb and saw something shining in the trash. She dug it out. It proved to be a diamond bar pin worth $5,000. For two days Miss Jones read the papers, hoping that the owner of the pin would advertise for it. No such item occurred and the girl took the pin to the police, who after examining the records found that Dreicer & Co., Fifth avenue jewelers, had lost the pin early in 1919. It was returned to them. The bar was of platinum, set with fifty half-carat diamonds and three large sapphires, one at each end and one in the center. BISHOP VERNON HOME. New York, Nov. 14.—Among the passengers aboard the White Star Line stenner Majestic which docked here today was Bishop W. T. Vernon of the A. M. E. Church, who returned from his diocese in South Africa. NO. 6. French Negro Opposes Revolt Of Pan-Blacks French Negro Opposes Revolt Of Pan-Blacks Proposal of Communists Meets With Disfavor, Deputy Says. Paris, Nov. 23.—"French Negroes will take no part in the Pan-Black revolution preached at the recent meeting of the Communist Internationale in Moscow," said M. Candace, a Negro deputy to the French Parliament from the island of Guadaloupe. "They know that the Bolsheviki wish to use them for their own purposes. As soon as they have done the work the Communists will abandon them to white dictators. Among the Negroes represented in Moscow those of American nationality formed the largest part because at present they represent the most dissatisfied element of the Negro race. We have heard that the black man's life in the United States is surrounded with hundreds of vexatious restrictions. In France it is different. Here the color line does not exist and Negroes enjoy equality in law as well as in fact." M. Candace, who uttered these words, is one of the ablest orators in the French Parliament. For years he has been a member of the Chamber of Deputies from the West Indies. With a broad, high forehead, deep bass voice and a profusion of hirsute adornments on his face, he reminds one somewhat of the famous black leader, Toussaint L'Ouverture, who founded the republic of Haiti. He has become a well known figure in France. Braise Diagne, deputy from West Africa, a colleague of M. Candace, has hard words to say against the Pan-African agitation initiated by Marcus Garvey in the United States. A federation of Negro republics in Africa would be impossible, he says, because it would have to group together people as different as the British and the French. South Carolina Man Harding Appointee Greenville, S. C., Nov. 17.—Seymour Carrol, recreation director of the American Red Cross at the U. S. Veterans' hospital here, recently received a telegram from President Harding asking him to serve on a committee to co-operate with the American National Red Cross and the Near East Relief Commission in its new national relief program under the direction of a general committee of which former Postmaster General Will P. Hays is chairman. As a delegate from the southern division, Mr. Carroll attended the national convention of the American Red Cross which convened in Washington. He was the only Race representative at the session. While there, it is reported, he was called into conference with Judge John Barton Payne, former member of ex-President's cabinet and now chairman of the central committee of the Red Cross, who praised the Race for the part it has played in every program that the Red Cross has put over. FOREIGN A motion made by the provincial government calling upon the dominion government to prohibit the immigration of Asiatics into Canada was unanimously adopted by the British Columbia Legislature at Victoria, B. C. Premier Poincare of France, Lord Curzon, British foreign secretary, and Baron Avezzano, Italian ambassador to France, reached a complete accord at a conference in Paris on the general outlines of the attitude to be taken by the allies toward the Turks at Lausanne peace conference. “There is no bolshevism in Mexico and consequently there is no reason for a Fascist movement in the republic,” President Obregon told the newspaper correspondents in Mexico City recently when questioned relative to reports that such a movement had been inaugurated in Jalapa and Vera Cruz. Stories of a female pirate leader and her desperate band of Chinese buccaneers, who seized the British steamer Sul-An, overcame the crew after a sanguinary battle and then escaped with all the cash and valuables on board, were related by the passengers who were landed from the vessel at Hongkong. With bitter cold approaching in northern Korea, the condition of the 7,000 Russian refugees at Gensan is pitiable, according to arrivals in Seoul, Korea. Those ashore sleep on the bare ground or under clapboard sheds, while the crowding aboard the ships in the harbor is reminiscent of the floating hell of the old galley slave days and the Australian convict bulks. Ismet Pasha and his associates of the Turkish delegation to the conference at Lausanne appear less confident than when they arrived and the feeling is growing that they will reduce their program materially in the hope of restoring peace and re-establishing trade relations with the outside world. It is becoming evident that they are beginning to realize that it was Greece and not the great powers of Europe that they defeated in their recent successful campaign about Smyrna. GENERAL Fifty thousand dollars for a single strawberry plant was paid by Frank E. Beatty, president of the R. E. Kellogg Company, fruit growers at Three Rivers, Mich. The price is believed to be the highest ever paid for a single strawberry plant. The New York office of the Department of Justice has been appended to by a number of citizens to prevent Lleut. Capt. Hellmuth von Muecke, second in command to Captain Muelier of the German raider Emden, from lecturing in this country. Discovery was announced at Omaha by Dr. Robert F. Gilder, an archaeologist of this city, of two mounds near Blair, Neb., which he estimated contained the skeletons of at least 1,000 humans, probably Indians, so ancient that there are no modern records of them. Human bones were found protruding from the mounds, which were not opened. Frank Bacon, one of the most widely known actors on the American stage as the result of his extraordinary success in the part of Bill Jones in "Lightnin", which he helped to write, dled at his hotel in Chicago. After four and one-half years in the role, Bacon was compelled by illness to retire from the cast of the play a week before his death. The Pennsylvania system, which recently announced its determination to file counter suits against motorists seeking damages as a consequence of collisions won its initial case in County Court at Pittsburg. On December 5, 1921, a Pennsylvania flyer hit an automobile belonging to C. J. Ramsey of Sewickley, near Dixmont. Ramsey sued for $3,000 damages, claiming his machine was wrecked. The railroad countered with a claim for $106.08. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. The Illinois Supreme Court has ordered William Bross Lloyd, millionaire Chicago communist, to Joliet prison for five years for violation of the state anti-syndicalism law. Judge Thompson denied Lloyd's plea for a thirty-day stay to permit him to arrange for the handling of his $1,800,000 estate. "The explosion in No. 1 mine of the Reilly-Collery Company at Spangler, Pa., which resulted in the loss of seventy-nine lives, was caused either by a dynamite shot fired by a miner or by a miner walking through a gas pocket with an open lamp," declared an announcement by Seward Button, chief inspector of the State Bureau of Mines. Approximately 400 employees left their jobs in the Pennsylvania railroad shops at Dennison, Ohio, following the posting of an order that a 35-cent charge will be made for each meal received in the company's restaurant. Since the beginning of the shopmen's strike July 1 the company has furnished free lodging and board to the employés. The men who quit are said to have taken the places of strikers. Government officials have reserved decision with regard to the proposed consolidation of Armour and Company and Morris and Company, two of the "big five" Chicago meat packing concerns, which was placed before them by J. Ogden Armour. It was indicated there would be no final opinion for some days. Whedelm Cuno is Germany's fifteenth chancellor and the first nonpartisan nonparliamentary holder of that post in the new republic. He has succeeded in forming his new cabinet. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN Eighty-two dead was believed to be the death toll of the sinking of a Mexican freight and passenger steamer in the Gulf of California at La Bomba, a Mexican port at the junction of the Colorado river and the gulf, thirty-five miles south of Calexico, Calif. Because he declared that he bought all the food he needed for 6 cents a day, Arthur Belour is being held by Spokane police as an insanity suspect. Belour had $672.85 in his pockets when apprehended, which he said was his savings as a result of frugal living. "They came to their death from gunshot and knife wounds inflicted by Hjalmar Anderson," was the verdict returned by a coroner's jury which held an inquest over the bodies of Tansy Bolton, 24 years old, and Mrs. J. T. O'Brien, 38, who were killed in a cabin at Copalis beach, twenty miles west of Honquilam, Wash. Mutiny charges against five members of the steam schooner Jacinto were dismissed in the United States Commissioner's Court at San Francisco after it developed that the disturbances that brought the vessel back to San Francisco after she had put out for Grays harbor was merely a "drunken brawl." Kansas opened a legal fight on the Ku Klux Klan when ouster proceedings were filed in the State Supreme Court at Topeka by the attorney general under the direction of Gov. Henry J. Allen. The ouster proceedings are directed against the Knights of the K. K. K., a Georgian corporation, and against officers of the klan in Kansas. Twenty-two years of almost continuous effort to "bring the main line to Bolse" ended in conditional victory through Bolse's acceptance of the offer of the Oregon Short Line to build a railroad line from Orchard to the capital city. The railroad company will spend approximately $3,200,000 in and near Bolse to comply with its end of the contract. With seventy-five delegates from all parts of the Rocky Mountain region and the Pacific in attendance, the Northwest mining section of the National Safety Council has just closed at Butte. Speakers emphasized the statement that metal mining was the least dangerous of all the hazardous industries, pointing out that of the 80,000 accidental deaths in the United States last year, only 20,000 were attributable to industry, of these only a small fraction occurred in mining. WASHINGTON The United States Supreme Court has held that Liberty bonds held by national banks are taxable by the states for state purposes. An appeal brought by the Peoples bank of Kingfisher, Okla., from a lower court decision that national banks are not entitled to deduct from their capital, surplus and undivided profits in paying state taxes, money invested in Liberty bonds and other forms of tax-exempt securities, was dismissed by the Supreme Court on the authorities cited. A plot to smuggle ammunition into Fortress Monroe, Fort Storey and Camp Eustis was unearthed recently at Norfolk, Va., by postal inspectors. Large boxes of rifle cattridges were found in mail cars bound for each place. United States agents are puzzled. One man is held for questioning. Shipments were made from a house in Norfolk. The star of woman suffrage reached its highest ascendency in American history when Mrs. W. H. Felton, the "grand old lady of Georgia," won her fight for a seat for a day as the first woman senator. Mrs. Felton won her senatorship when chivalry triumphed over legality. A single objection from any one of the ninety-five male senators would have prevented her taking her seat. Frankly recognizing at the outset the formidable opposition to the administration's ship program, President Harding went in person before a joint session of Congress and sought, by the sheer force of business logic and patriotic appeal, to impress upon the nation's lawmakers the urgent need for enacting the Harding-Lasker ship subsidy bill without further delay. A vigorous assault upon the Ku Klux Klan was made by Secretary of the Navy Denby in an address before the national convention of the Order of the Eastern Star in Washington. Although he did not mention the Ku Klux Klan by name, the secretary left no doubt that it was that organization to which he referred. Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, whose right to a place in the Senate has been a subject of long and bitter controversy, has submitted his resignation with a request that it become effective immediately.

Julesburg.—Aimed like an arrow at the Lincoln highway, running northeast from Denver through Fort Morgan and Sterling to the state line at Julesburg, is one of the finest graveled roads in Colorado. For lack of an expenditure of approximately $3,000, the road between Julesburg and Big Springs is little better than a cow trail, according to E. C. Hamilton, Sedgwick county highway engineer of Julesburg. G. H. Austin, president of the Julesburg Chamber of Commerce, is seeking aid to put the road through to the Lincoln highway.

A., will dinners for Thanksgiving be plentifuf and "the best you ever ate." You see here the grand old farmer and the turkey—doesn't it portray the real American Thanksgiving spirit? This is the 1922 Thanksgiving, and it's the best of them all. IS TURK A TURK? Question Has Never Been Satisfactorily Answered. But Whether American or Asiatic, No One Has Ever Denied Its Delectable Flavor. "The Mystery of the Turkey" has been agitating Paris. A learned Arab—Al Antaki—has discovered in Ancient Arabic books written long before the discovery of America a description of what he thinks must be the modern turkey-bird—and the old author found it in fact in Asia Minor, which the Turks of his religion had already conquered. Such a piece of news goes along well with the conquering of what we used to call Turkey by Mustapha Kemal and, if it were true, he would be warranted in taking our turkey for his own Thanksgiving emblem. French naturalists have started up at once and give the reasons, which they say are imperative, why the turkey bird is genuine American, in the woods when Columbus came and in the Puritan Pilgrim's pot. No foreigners need apply—and, as for the enigma of the name "turkey," what's in a name, anyway? That can be explained, and so can what the old Arab said. This is the sum of the French argument. The very type of all turkeys is found in Honduras and was fully described in all his glory—speckled, with eye spots small, but bright, almost as those of the peacock's plumage, with a deep-sea blue head and orange-red dewlaps—35 years after Columbus first glimpsed America. Now, the Arab of the Turkish conquest uses a good deal of literature to describe what may easily be only a guinea hen. And he is the only traveler or writer who ever used language that could be even remotely applied to our American bird until the turkey had become a domestic fowl in Europe, after being brought over from America as a curiosity. The misfortune was that somehow the English baptized him "turkey." They got hold of him very early, with their usual love of good eating. Perhaps he was brought over by Cabot, in which case he would have been one of our United States or Canadian turkeys, but more likely some buccaneer brought him back from Panama, where the "Christians" were breeding him as a domestic fowl even before Spanish Oviedo described him so scientifically. "He makes a wheel of his tall," says Ovledo, to distinguish him from other birds of this wonderful world that resemble him in other ways—but, he hastens to add, "his tail is not as beautiful as that of our Spanish peacocks." Here the French make their point. The Romans were as great and curious eaters as the English, and they ate peacocks and brought back from Colchis in Asia Minor (or Turkey in Asia) pheasantst for the sake of eating them, and their Latin books speak of them with all particulars. Who can imagine they would have passed by the turkey, which is no end better eating than the most golden pheasant? They never speak of any bird like him—but they know the guinea hen which the old Arab seems to have meant to describe. Now here the mistake of early naturalists in Europe comes in. They never tried to reason out why in the world the English called the bird a "turkey," but they must have been influenced by the name—and they decided to call it "Meleagris Gallopavo"—a three-barreled blunder which was intended to mean a combination of guinea hen, Gallic cock and peacock This was the bright idea of the great Linnaeus who cannot have seen one or eaten one in his native Sweden. Perhaps he was influenced by the unlucky common names for the glorious bird. The English called him "turkey," but the French call him "dindon," which means Indian bird. Now, at the beginning, America was universally spoken of as "India," and we ourselves still say "West Indies." Put that alongside of the Italian name for Indian corn—"Grano Turco" or Turkish grain—and we may guess how Turk and Indian got mixed up for something only, uniquely, solely and exclusively American in its origin. Testimony for America. Therefore the turkey which we eat at Thanksgiving and, as Tusser said in 1573 for England before the first century of America was done—"in Christmas husbandile fare"—is a native of the New World where it was first described and not of the Old World, where no one ever described it at all until long after. "If there had been anything like the American bird," says a French naturalist, "how could it have ever been forgotten in Turkey or Asia or Europe, leaving not a footprint or progeny or any memory behind?" On the contrary, all the woods of America were full of them, so that no European or Turk or Arab could ever talk of having introduced them. And doubtless the same may be said of Indian corn, which goes along with Turkey even in the mixture of names. But the worst mixture was that of the Germans, who called our bird a "Kale buttish Hun" or Calcutta hen from a place in Malabar of quite another India. It is time the turkey should make its Declaration of American Independence. For man in the midst of his work to pause and look about him, and to set the relatively little that he is or can be, over against the infinities, is good for him. It is good, although the pause be only for an hour, and the reflection fall short of a thought of divinity. If the pause be for a day, and if the thoughts reach up to the unsearchable, and some emotion of thankfulness for natural blessings be quickened in the heart, that is far better. And that is what Thanksgiving day should bring. Little Boy "Hi Jimmie, come on! I got two tickets to de newsboys' dinner. "Nope.

HE URGES IT ON CONGRESS Present System of Leasing Such Buildings Is Very Costly and Has Various Other Serious Disadvantages, He Asserts. By JAMES P. HORNADAY Washington.—Postmaster General Work originated and has urged before congress the government ownership of post office buildings on the ground that annually a great saving of money will result to the American taxpayers. In a communication to the joint commission on postal service of congress, the postmaster general points out that the government can borrow money on pratically a 4 per cent basis to build post offices, whereas when it leases it pays a rental sufficient to permit the lessor to borrow money at 7 per cent and in some cases as much as 10 per cent. In other words, by this lease policy the government is indirectly paying 7 per cent and 10 per cent interest on money when it is able to borrow at 4 per cent. The postmaster general in further explaining the advantage of this plan said: "When the government owns a post office building it is free from taxation, whereas when it leases an office it is indirectly paying taxes at the rate of about 2 per cent on the investment and many times at a very much higher rate. When a building required for postal purposes represents an investment of a large amount of money, it is readily seen that the tax alone which the government must pay to the lessor in the form of rent is a very considerable sum. "Another way of stating in a combined form the two preceding propositions is that the ordinary lessor usually obtains about 10 per cent gross on his investment, whereas if the government owned the property, building it with 4 per cent money, it would be costing the government about one-half as much as it is obliged to pay in the form of a lease for the use of the building. "If the government adopted the policy of owning its post office buildings, it would be in a position to take property by right of eminent domain, whereas it cannot take a leasehold interest by such right. "In our negotiations for leases with prospective lessors we are confronted with the fact that we cannot build, and therefore we must pay what they ask. If we could say to bidders, unless you bring your rental down to a certain reasonable figure the government will put up a building of its own, we would then have a weapon of negotiation where we now have none. But that is only possible when the government has adopted a policy of ownership and provided funds to carry out such a policy. "Leased buildings are constantly being outgrown, confronting the department with the necessity of either adding additional space or seeking an entirely new location. With a lease policy and without the right of condemnation the additional adjacent space is often held at unconscionable figures, and we are often compelled to pay far more than we know to be reasonable on account of the situation. "When a government post office or postal building is erected by a lessor, in a very large percentage of cases it enhances the value of all property in the vicinity, so that it becomes necessary to renew such lease at much higher figures, whereas if the government owned the building it would receive the benefit of the enhancement of values which it has created. An Expensive Proposition. "The lessor who builds a post office or postal station for the government on a contract for lease for 10 or 20 years is obliged to figure on absorbing either the whole or a large percentage of the original cost of the building, and this he does. He is obliged to do this because he knows he may be compelled at the end of the lease to reconvert it into other uses. The result of such a lease policy is that the government not only pays about 10 per cent of the original investment but it pays in addition there to a certain per cent of all the original investment distributed over a term of years, so that at the end of the lease the government has nothing, but is obliged to start over again, still at the mercy of lessors, with no efficient weapon to compel fair prices. "It frequently is impossible to lease buildings having satisfactory working conditions, such as natural light and ventilation. In erecting government-owned buildings ideal working conditions would be provided, thereby incurring the health and comfort of employees, which should always be given first consideration. Then, too, such buildings would be erected in accordance with plans and specifications either made or approved by the Post Office department based upon its experience with a view to efficiency of service, as well as cost of service." Farmer Can't Stand Freight Rates. "One of the heavy burdens which the farmer has been forced to carry at a time when he was least able to carry it has been the large increase in freight rates," said Secretary of Agriculture Wallace in talking of the troubles of the farmers. He pointed out that in 1920 freight rates on many of the more important farm crops were almost double what they were before the war; these increased rates, not only imposed a grievous financial burden but in many cases narrowed the market for crops, which were not worth enough to carry the freight rate to distant markets. "At the same time," said he, "the increased rates on the things the farmer had to buy added to his cost of living and the cost of production by just that much. Had prices of farm crops remained at the 1919 and early 1920 levels, the higher freight rates could have been paid without inconvenience. A freight rate of 25 cents a bushel when corn is selling for $1.75 a bushel is not a serious matter, but a 25-cent rate on 50-cent corn is ruination. During 1920 the influence of the administration was exerted in every proper way to bring about a reduction in freight rates on farm crops, and a number of important reductions were secured. Rates are still altogether too high, however, with relation to the selling value of crops, and further substantial reductions must come in the near future. "This railroad question is exceedingly complex and difficult. When the federal government took over the roads it was on the agreement that in addition to proper maintenance they should be assured of earnings equal to the average of the three years, June 30, 1914, to June 30, 1917. Costs of operation were increasing steadily and the government advanced both passenger and freight rates. Railroad Costs Too High. Railroad Costs Too High. "Inlquitous working agreements and shop rules which greatly reduced labor output were accepted. The result was that railroad costs of operation increased far more than railroad receipts. During this period practically everything shipped was selling at a price high enough to have carried a correspondingly high freight rate. Good business administration would have provided for railroad income during those prosperous times large enough to meet the government contract and would thus have saved the hundreds of millions which the government afterward had to pay. Also it should have made it possible for a prompt reduction in rates when the prices of farm crops made it necessary. "The urgent demand by farmers for large reductions in freight rates have led some people to think that if the farmers could have their way they would put rates so low that the roads could not possibly operate. Nothing could be further from the truth. The farmer is almost wholly dependent on the railroad for the movement of his surplus crops and live stock. Much agricultural freight is perishable and must have expedited movement. The farmer, therefore, has a direct interest in efficient railroad operation and knows that the roads must be permitted to charge enough to cover all proper costs of operation and enough in addition to give a fair return upon the money invested and thus keep capital in the business. Neither does the farmer want government operation of the railroads. He had enough of that in his three years' experience to satisfy him for all time. He will never forget the losses, both direct and indirect, which he suffered because he could not ship when his stuff was ready for market, and because of bad service. Rates Must Come Down. Rates Must Come Down. "Nevertheless, freight rates on farm crops and live stock must come down. With present prices for his crops and with probable prices for the next year or so, the farmer simply cannot afford to pay the present rates. They are out of all proportion to the pay he gets for what he grows. "A hopeful sign which points toward the possibility of reductions in railroad rates is the gradual reduction in the part wages contribute to the total operating cost. Apparently, the railroads are making steady progress in the reduction of these costs, and should therefore be able soon to make substantial reductions in freight rates on farm products. In considering the matter of freight rates of agricultural products there are two things which should always be kept in mind. First that the cost of transportation is essentially a part of the cost of production, so far as agriculture is concerned, and any increase in transportation costs must come out of the price the farmer receives. Second, our business and industrial life has been built up on a system of relatively low railroad rates for agricultural crops designed to encourage their movement over long distances to industrial and business centers." Continent Edge Out in Sea. The eastern continent edge of North America stands 150 miles or more east of the present shore, says the Detroit News. Maine, Massachusetts, Long Island, New Jersey and the eastern peninsula of Maryland are not the limits of the United States, strictly speaking. The limit is far out to sea. Places that were formerly dry land are now beneath the water of the Atlantic ocean. The Hudson river is now drowned for a great part of its length. The land has subsided and lowered the river bed below the sea level. Careful soundings south of Long Island reveal a former river channel winding along on what is now the bed of the ocean. The water shelves out gradually to 100 fathoms, then plunges sharply down as the edge of the continent is reached.

We Are Anxious to Help ```markdown ``` Best Canned Peas or Beans Will Stir Family to Rebellion If Always Cooked In Same Way. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Turnips, carrots, cabbage, onions, potatoes, parsnips, kale, celery, and winter squash—for a good many winter months these are the only fresh vegetables that appear on the table, so that for the sake of variety it is necessary to fall back on the stock of canned vegetables. Even the best canned string beans or peas, however, will stir the family to rebellion if always served in exactly the same way. No matter how canned vegetables are served, they should be boiled thoroughly after they are poured from the can and before they are tasted. Scalloped canned tomatoes are not only good in themselves but help use up stale bread. Canned sweet potatoes may be mashed and baked, or made into sweet potato pie, or baked in layers with slices of apple between. table combinations which the family is certain to enjoy. Fresh or canned turnips cooked with fresh or canned celery may be an innovation to many. The combination may be served with white sauce, or after being covered with a white sauce in a baking dish, it may be sprinkled with grated cheese, bits of butter, seasoning, and bread crumbs, and browned in the oven. Carrots diced and mixed with canned peas or string beans cut in small pieces, are one of the best known and best liked of the vegetable mixtures. Peas or small lima beans in beet or turnip cups, are attractive for a change; and lima beans with corn, need no introduction. Pastry trimmings baked in patty pans or muffin tins make good cups for creamed vegetables, which are also good when served on toast. Impove Flavor of Vegetables. A little onion juice or celery salt, or a bit of green pepper or celery tops, or a tiny piece of bay leaf, improves the flavor of many vegetable dishes. The United States Department of Agriculture has a number of other suggestions for varying the appearance and flavor of canned vegetables. Canned asparagus may be cut up and spread in layers in a baking dish, with bread crumbs in between, sprinkled with salt, pepper or paprika, seasoned with the liquor from the can, and baked. Okra or egg-plant scalloped in this way is equally delicious. Scalloped canned corn is good, and is improved by a little chopped onion and pimento. A corn pudding may be made by adding milk and egg to canned corn. Canned vegetables may be combined with each other or with the so-called winter vegetables. Tomatoes and peppers are a popular combination, whether stewed, scalloped, or used in soup; and potatoes, okra, and onion added to meat stock make a good soup. Tomatoes and corn may be baked or bolled together or scalloped. Tomatoes and string beans; tomatoes, corn and string beans; tomatoes and celery, are all good vege- FACTORS AFFECTING COST OF BREAD LOAF Quality of Flour and Price of Much Importance. Where Different Materials Are Purchased in Small Quantities Cost Is Much Higher—Use of Milk Increases Expense. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Tests in the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture show that the quality of flour used, the retail price paid for it, the method of buying, whether in small quantities or by the barrel, the bread formula used, the kind and price of fuel, the sort of oven used, and the number of loaves made at one time are all factors affecting the final cost of the homemade loaf of bread. In case of a batch of five loaves for which materials were bought in small quantities and which were baked in an uninsulated gas oven when gas cost $1.20 a thousand feet, a single pound loaf was found to cost 7 l-3 cents. The recipe called for shortening, sugar and compressed yeast. Milk was not used in the formula tested and would have increased the cost of the bread. A batch of eight loaves was made by a more economical formula, and all materials, though bought at retail prices, were purchased to better advantage. "Strong" flour which gives a high bread yield was selected, and it was bought by the barrel, as the farm woman would be likely to buy it. Dried yeast was used, shortening was omitted, and the baking was done in a kerosene range. Under these conditions the cost of a one-pound loaf was to be only 4 1-5 cents. The details and figures obtained in these tests are available upon application to the department. ECONOMY IN USE OF CEREALS Relatively Low In Price and Furnish Some Tissue-Building Materials and Body Fuel. Because cereals are relatively low in price and because most of them furnish some tissue-building materials, as well as body fuel, the United States Department of Agriculture considers it a good economy to use them freely, and sometimes in place of part of the more expensive foods. table combinations which the family is certain to enjoy. Fresh or canned turnips cooked with fresh or canned celery may be an innovation to many. The combination may be served with white sauce, or after being covered with a white sauce in a baking dish, it may be sprinkled with grated cheese, bits of butter, seasoning, and bread crumbs, and browned in the oven. Carrots diced and mixed with canned peas or string beans cut in small pieces, are one of the best known and best liked of the vegetable mixtures. Peas or small lima beans in beet or turnip cups, are attractive for a change; and lima beans with corn, need no introduction. Pastry trimmings baked in patty pans or muffin tins make good cups for creamed vegetables, which are also good when served on toast. Reheating canned string beans with a ham bone or a piece of bacon and then serving them with vinegar makes them seem an entirely different vegetable. A sour sauce can be made for canned string beans by blending one tablespoonful of fat, the liquor from a pint can, one tablespoonful of vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. After simmering the beans in this sauce for several minutes a well-beaten egg is added just before serving. Spinach Souffle Recipe. To make spinach souffle, chop drained canned spinach very fine and rub it through a coarse sieve. Heat with one tablespoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of butter, salt, pepper, a dash of nutmeg, and one-half cupful of milk. Separate an egg, beat both yolk and white very stiff, fold into the spinach mixture and bake in individual ramekins for fifteen minutes, or longer if baked in a larger dish. When serving canned baked beans, reheat them with a little extra seasoning consisting of a tablespoonful of molasses, a pinch of mustard, and a bit of bacon or salt pork; put into the oven to brown. The canning process saves the long preliminary cooking necessary with home-cooked baked beans, and yet a similar flavor may be developed in this way. BREAD CAUSES INDIGESTION When It Does So It Is Because of Lack of Essential Characteristics, Not Because Hot. Hot bread is often thought to cause indigestion, but the United States Department of Agriculture says that when it does so it is because it lacks some of the characteristics of good bread, not because it is hot. Large or thick biscuits, whether raised with yeast, baking powder or soda, are likely, if cooked only a short time, to be soggy on the inside, and this, when it happens, is the objection to them, rather than the fact that they are served hot. MEAT BONES FOR FLAVORING Those From Veal Especially Useful With Cream Sauces and Soups—Pork Is Excepted. Meat bones, especially those from veal, that have been slightly browned in cooking, as in the case of steaks, chops, or roasts give a particularly good flavor to cream sauces and soups. This is a suggestion made by the United States Department of Agriculture, which adds that pork bones are an exception to this statement. Their taste is less acceptable in this way. Household Questions Good quality knives should be cleaned with charcoal powder. The life of baskets can be prolonged by scrubbing them occasionally with hot soapsuds. The water in which vegetables have been boiled is an excellent foundation for soup stock. Discolored brass curtain rings may be boiled in soda and water and afterward enameled in any color desired. Dampen a piece of grease paper with vinegar and wrap it around cheese. This keeps the cheese moist and prevents it from going moldy. * * * Try removing spots from your bat-tub with olive oil. The oil is sprinkled on a flannel cloth and the spot rubbed with this. Warm water and soap is then applied to the spot. The Kitchen Cabinet (©. 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)

SEASONABLE FOODS This is the season of the year when we turn to our recipes for fruit cake. Fruit Cake. Take one cupful each of sugar, butter, molasses, strawberry preserve or jelly, butter, milk, one half cupful of strong coffee, two Take one cupful each of sugar, butter, molasses, strawberry preserve or jelly, butter, milk, one half cupful of strong coffee, two eggs, one nutmeg grated, two teaspoonfuls each of cinnamon and soda, the latter dissolved in one-half cupful of hot water; one teaspoonful of cloves, two pounds each of currants and raisins, one pound of candied fruit, chopped (orange, lemon and citron), six cupfuls of flour. Mix the fruit in the flour and combine as usual. Steam one hour, bake one-half hour. Keep in a stone jar the cake wrapped in waxed paper. Creole Steak—Put a flank steak through the meat chopper, adding three onions and one green pepper, minced fine, one-quarter of a cupful of suet chopped fine, one-half cupful of bread crumbs and one teaspoonful of salt. Mold into shapes like sirloin steak and place in a well-greased casserole. Pour over one cupful of stewed tomatoes and bake in a hot oven 15 minutes. Brunswick Roast.—Split a flank steak, taking care not to separate. Spread flat and fill with the following: Sonk bread in cold water and press dry—take three-quarters of a cupful. Place in a bowl three chopped onions, one green pepper chopped, one-half teaspoonful of poultry seasoning, one-quarter cupful of chopped suet, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half teaspoonful of pepper, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and spread on the meat. Roll and tie securely, roll in seasoned flour and brown in hot oven, turning until well-browned. Now add one cupful of hot stock or water, and cook slowly for one and one-half hours. Serve either hot or cold. If hot, garnish with potato and carrot balls, cooked until tender and well-seasoned. Egg Hollandaise.—Place a poached egg in a small casserole or ramekin, cover with Hollandaise sauce, lay a boiled mushroom on top of the sauce and set the casserole in a hot oven for five minutes. Serve hot. A Sabbath well spent Brings a week of content And health from the toils of tomorrow; But a Sabbath profaned, What so 'eer may be gained, Is a certain forerunner of sorrow. —Sir Mathew Hale. MORE THANKSGIVING DISHES A good soup to begin the meal is an economy in several ways; it prevents overeating of the heartier food and saves too serious onslaughts on the "piece de resistance." Cooking A salad is always a welcome addition to the dinner; it may be pleasing because of the note of color which may thus be introduced to add to the beauty of the table, but it need not add to the expense or the bulk of the meal. The dessert being the crowning point of the meal, should be as pleasing to the eye as to the palate. We usually think of Thanksgiving in terms of roasted, stuffed turkey, but the meal may be just as appetizing and attractive with a dish of squirrels or rabbit, venison or wild duck. Rabbit pie is not well enough appreciated. Guinea hens are fine eating; serve stuffed, rubbed with butter and seasonings, and cooked in a casserole with a pint of stock. An hour before serving add potato balls, small onions and bits of carrot. Serve from the casserole. Spanish Pie.—Line a deep baking dish with a rich biscuit crust, put in a layer of cold stewed chicken, a layer of sausage meat, chopped green pepper and onion, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Add two tablespoonfuls of flour blended with three-quarters of a cup of chicken broth and a tablespoonful of vinegar. Cover with a crust and bake until the crust is a golden brown. Beef and Corn Pudding.—Drain a can of corn from the liquid, reserving it for soup. Put a pound of lean beef through the meat chopper. Cook in a tablespoonful of fat, one tablespoonful of minced onion, stir in a tablespoonful of browned flour, add one cupful of stock and cook until smooth. Put the meat and orn in alternate layers in a baking dish, sprinkle with seasonings, moisten each layer with a little of the sauce and have the corn and sauce on top of the dish. Cover with grated cheese and bake in a moderate oven twenty minutes. Nellie Maxwell IMPERIAL CAFE MR. AND MRS. E. R. PAGE, PROPS.

SANTA MAKES MERRY ```markdown ``` Santa Claus sometimes jokes with folks, big and little, and he nearly always has some comic toys for the children. This year he will leave them funny spoon dolls made of paper picnic spoons and dressed in crepe paper clothes. A clown doll, with dangling legs, a Chinaman and a Puritan have had their pictures taken so that any one can make them. PRETTY SEWING BASKET ```markdown ``` Work baskets of figured cretonne or silk may be made, in several sizes, of two circular pieces of the material. For the foundation of the basket a light, square cardboard box is used, split at the corners, so that it can be flattened out. A pocket, gathered on one edge over an elastic band, and ar oblong pin cushion, are sewed to one of the circular pieces. The two pieces are then pasted together with the flattened box between them. Eyelet holes in the spaces between the sides of the cardboard foundation carry a small cord that holds the basket in shape as shown in the picture. PAINTED TEA TRAY ```markdown ``` This good-looking, home-made tea tray is only a shallow tin baking pan painted gray. Circular figures on the bottom make backgrounds for a number of things, in gay colors, that look like futurists' sun, moon and stars. At any rate, the tray is a vivid and cheerful affair that will be useful to the housewife. A PULLMAN HANGER ```markdown ``` Everyone who travels will like this handy Pullman hanger which folds up so that it will slip into a suitcase. It is merely a large pocket made of cretonne and plain chambray, 18 inches long and 11 inches wide and it is made over a jointed, metal hanger.
