REASONS FOR GIVING THANKS It is three hundred years since Tklinlrfitnvinfr rloar tvao firu* on the American continent. The Pilgrim band, though they had lost half their nunibers during the first winter at Plymouth, and though they were beset by hardships and by the fear of their savage neighbors, found in the survival of the little colony and in the hope of a gradually ameliorating lot just cause for thanksgiving to God. Have we, who have inherited the institutions and the spritual ideals that they labored to establish, less reason than they to be thankful? Like the other nations of the world the United States has reached a great social and political crisis. We have passed through a great war, and we begin to feel the burden of debt and disaster that the war laid upon mankind. Our trade is disarranged; - 11 icmicr liiiaiicuuiy nur economically are we so prosperous as we are wont to be. We are little afraid of the future, for we have been shaken out of the easy and comfortable confidence in our own efficiency in which we have been used to live. But a great material prosperity is not always a matter for thanksgiving. It sometimes softens and dissipates the strength and virtue of a nation. Perhaps nations like pf^-should echo the prayer of Ag^iA\e\iSSive me neither poverty nor riches." We have enough and, like the Pilgrims, we can reasonably hope for an increasing store of comforts in the coming years. Is there not ample cause for thanksgiving in the fact that, although the nation has been tried by adversity and loss and assailed by doubt and missgivings, it shows no sign of losing its heart or its head? The gospel of hard work and cheerful eourage still counts most Americans as its adherents We are working our way out of the depression that the war caused. We do not thank God because our way is the way of fatness and of peace, but because, in the time of testing and trial, our people are able to quit themselves like men.?Youth's Companion. YE FARM GOSSIP Kill tfte weevil before the weevil kills you. A real system of farming doesn't change to meet changing prices. Farming in the South can no longer be done by proxy. Where there's a will to fence the fields, there's a way to grow forage crops and raise livestock. A carpenter's saw is not a fit tool for pruning fruit trees. Money in cover crops now saves double money on fertilizer bills next spring. "Blood will tell",?That's why purebred sires are so important. Now is a good time to provide the garden with a self-starter by building a hot-bed or cold-frame. Carbon bisulphide is mighty discouraging to honest, hard-working grain weevils. "Distress" cotton means "distressed" cotton growers. Both are national liabilities. Why will a farmer build a garage for his $500 automobile and let his $1000 worth of farm machinery stay out in the weather? It is hard to understand how any farmer can spend his time squirrelhunting and town-loafing while cotton stalks and other boll weevil hid1 ing places are still undestroyed on his farm. 40 CENTS MORE FOR EACH PERSON ADDED TO MONEY CIRCULATION Washington, Nov 11.?Individual , * wealth in money throughout the nation increased 40 cents during Octo- , ' ber according to a statement issued to day by the Treasury. The statement showed that on Nov. 1 the per capita 1 circulation was $41.44, compared with i . * $41.04 on Oct. 1. J On Nov. 1 there was $4,570,280,827 in circulation among an estimated population of 110,292,000, as compar- . ed with $4,520,895,293 in circulation ? on Oct. 1 and an estimated population of 110,155,000. i I The saddest words of tongue or pen j May perhaps, "It might have been." i FARMERS GAINING STRENGH IN UNION Union, Nov. 11.?That Union County is setting: a pace which might well be followed by other counties in progressive agriculture is shown by the foward steps being taken by farmers in that county as reported by County Agent W. D. wood, who gives come interesting facts about soil building, increase in livestock, home orchards, etc. Illustrating the value of soil building, Mr. Wood reports the experience of N. R. Jeter, of Union, who Droduc ed on a field of corn following crimson clover turned under 70 bushels per acre with only 200 pounds of 8-3-3 fertlizer this yield being about seven times the average yield for the county. lie points out also the facts that the value of fertile soil under weevil conditions has been clearly shown on a number of other farms, in that seed germanition was better, stands were more uniform, fruiting and maturity were more saisfactory, and cotton yields niucj) beter. Regarding livestock and orcharding the county agent's own words tell the story most effectively. He says: Hogs.?The interest in hogs is growing in this county. A number of farmers are building new fences and planting forage crops this fall. Dairing.?One year'ago there was only one shipper of cream in this county, while at present time there are several farmers shipping cream to nearby creameries. Marked development along this line may be expected during the next twelve months. Orcharding.?Over one hundred additional home orchards will be planted this fall, and if present plans materialize about 150 acres of peaches will set out for commercial purposes. CUSTOM AN OLO ONE The idea is prevalent throughout the United States that our Thanksgiving day is peculiarly an American custom of New England orign. This is nut- in part oniy. ine general observance through many years of a set day on which to give thanks to Almighty God for his blessings have made the custom distinctively America; but its origin long antedates the settlement of this western continent and we must look eleswhere for it. In old Egypt, when the harvest had been gathered, it was the custom to observe a day of feasting and to lay offerings upon the altars of Isis, the goddess of agriculture. The Jewish festival was the "Ingathernig," or the "Feast ofthe Tabernacle," mentioned in Exodus and other parts of the Old Testament. This was more particular1., ? i 2-.: / ? 1' * ty <1 LiuiiiK^ivinK ior ilie irun harvest, but as it came at the close of the entire harvest it probably was inended also as a general thanksgiving "for the boundy of nature." The goddess of the Roman harvest was Ceres. Her festival was celebrated annually and was called Ceralia It was a day of worship and rustic sports. Men and women formed processions and went to the fields with music. In one way or another, a Thanksgiving day had been observed in Christian Europe for centuries before its celebration in New England. The early Christians kept such days as the bishops named them within their jurisdiction. On the continent, and for a time in England, it oceurre.' at Martinmas, which was a day of feasting and drinking. Occasionally, too, civic authorities recommended the obervance of some fixed day. f fnervoufl headache? ^ IMENTHOLATUM I quickly soothes "It did Jack no tfood to marry his stenographer, for she continued the habit of the office in their home."

TEDYUSKUNG'S DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE BECAUSE his uame has been perpetuated In a famous political organization, Tamaneund or Tammany, Is the best-known ludlun of the Delaware tribe. But there was another chief of the Leunl-Lenape who ranks as high, and a part of the honor due him hus been putd In a monument erected In Fulrmount park. Philudel phia, to Tedyuskung (Kekeuskung? "The Healer"). About 1720 the Iroquois conquered the Delawares, forced them to accept the title of "women" and began selling their lunds ou the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers to the colony of Pennsylvania. Finally the Lennt-Lenape settled on the Ohio. When the struggle between the French and Eng llsh centered In the Ohio valley In 1754 the Delawares felt that they were about to be driven from their last refuge. They rose In rebellion ugainst both the Pennsylvanluns and the Iroquois and attacked. A council was called at Easton, Pa.. In July, 1750. Tedyuskung Issued a Declaration of Independence. "The j Delnwares are no longer slaves of the | Six Nations," he said. "I, Tedyuskung, have been appointed king over the Five Nations. What I do here will be Kit ..11 Till.. K, o ilmt UJ Ul|, J.1IIO 19 a RWUII UUJ. | I wish that the same spirit that possessed that good old man, William Penn, the friend of the Indians, may inspire you white men today." For f>0 years the Delaware chief had borne the commonplace name of "Honest John," hut now he was hailed as "King Tedyusktmg," and was sent to give the "big peace halloo" to his tribe and invite them to a larger conference to be held later. He started on this Important errand, arrived at Fort Allen and then he went on a drunken spree lasting for days. The Iroquois derided his "declaration" and sought to discredit him. They failed, and from that time the power of tlie Iroquois over the Delawares waned. He demonstrifted his ability In later councils. Although it Is charged that the white councillors tried to get him drunk every night, he always appeared at council the next ' morning able ta cope with them. He succeeded In getting the l)elnwares' wrongs adjusted and his Influence brought about u treaty of peace which prevented the French and Delaware alliance. He had saved the Ohio valley to the English. His death wns scarcely heroic. In the spring of 171W his house was set on fire during one of his drunken debauches?probably by some of his Iroquois enemies?and the old chief perished in the (lames. STORIES OF QREAT INDIANS By Etmo Scott Watson Copyright, 1922, Western Newgpuper Linen PONTIAC, THE OTTAWA, THE INDIAN NAPOLEON IT WAS not a new ureuui?15.Is plan of uniting ail the tribes to drive out the white man. Opechancnnough, the Pamunkey, and King Philip, the Wnmpnnoag, had dreamed It and paid the penalty with their lives. Little Turtle, the Miami, and Tecumseh, the Shawnee, were destined to attempt It und to fail. Of them ull, Pontine, the Ottawa, came nearest success?and he failed when a woman talked! Pontine hated the English. Put he loved the French and when they lost North America at Quebec In 1751), he wanted to keep on lighting. On May 7, 17G3, one smashing blow by the allied Indians wus to regain this territory for the French and their red friends. The blow fell and the Indians were so successful in their surprise attacks that eight of the British forts were captured and nearly all the garrisons massacred. Pontine was in personal command of the Indians around Detroit, the keystone to British rule In the West, lie planned to capture it by treachery. Near the fort lived an OJlbway girl called Catherine. She loved Major Oladwyn, the commandant, and betrayed Pontlac's plot In time to save the fort. Foiled In his attempt to take Detroit, the Ottawa saw his grand conspiracy crumbling. It was dealt a linal Mow when lie received a measure from the French commandant at Fort Ohurties, III., telling him that England and France were now at pence and bidding him end his war. lint Font lac was not ready to give up yet. He visited the Illinois tribes and tried to rally them to his cause. They hesitated to Join him. (During angrily at their chiefs, the Ottawa exclaimed : "If you refuse, I will consume your tribes as a fire consumes the dry grass of your prairies!" By now he realized the hopelessness of his dream. After one more attempt to gain aid from the French, he gave up the struggle and returned to De?w,l? t,. al.rr. D .1 ?* U?'1V iU oi^K ? V?r?ij wi |?U(Ur. Ill 1700 he came again to Illinois. At Cnhokla an English trailer named Williamson, who hated the groat^Ottawa, offered a Kaskaskla warrior a barrel of whisky to kill Pontine. The Kaskaskla was easily persuaded. He remembered I'ontlae'g threat against his people years before, Late one night as Pontine, unsuspecting danger, strode through the woods rth his way to St. Louis the KASkaskla k'liut'ii up upuiiju mm.a lotnannwa | gleamed In the utarlight and descended. The Indian Napoleon was dead. j j WW I 1 iggteggteeg i >mu FACTORS IN PROFITABLE FARMING Clemson College, Now. 14.?The most important single element in profitable farming is a fertile soil. The principal steps necessary to secure a fertile soil are given by Prof. C. P. Blackwell, Chief of the Agronomy Division. First, the drainage must oe taken care of and the land not allowed to wash if it is to be built up to a high state of fertility: In order to prevent washing it is necessary to have proper terracing. Next to proper terracing, is the incorporation of or ganic matter as the most important thing for our thin soils. We have found that the greater the amount of organic matter added to most i'outh Carolina soils the greater the {.mount of fertilizer that can be applied with profit. We have also found that legumes constitute the best source of organic .matter. Legumes when grown as a companion crop make the most economical contribution of organic mat.er and nitrogen to the soil Of these companoin crops, perhaps the velvet bean is the moitt valuable, when rown as a companion crop with co j 'owpeas and soy beans may also be rown successfuly in this way. The ledum's next most economcal contribution to soil improve .lent is as a winter cover crop. Th. 'ogume may be grown alone or in ombination with rye. Rye and etch make one of our best winter cover crops when turned under as a reen manuring crop. The third most important factor in soil improvement is crop rotation. A crop rotaation in which a legume appears as often as practicable is extremely important in soil improvement and in promoting greatest effinciency of valuable plant food in the soil. We have found in our experiments that a crop rotation contributes as much to the yield of crops as 1000 pounds of 8-4-4 feriliz.er per acre. It is therefore a contribution which can not be neglected. Proper cultivation is also-a very :?iportant factor in efficient crop jroduction Many of the farmers n South Carolina do not have the proper plows or sufficient teams villi which to prepare and cultivate their land efficiently Another aid to successful crop production is proper use of lime and commercial fertilizer. From our experiments to date, we believe that jme when used in connection with organic matter and crop rotation is a valuable aid to soil building and economical production. The judicious use of commercial fertilizer is essential to profitable crop producion on practically all of the soils of his state. Judging both from our xperiments and from observation of .he practice of our most successful armors,, we are convinced that the above named factors are the deternining factors in successful crop production in this state. We believe hut any farmer who will put into practice proper terracing, crop rotaion, incorporation of organic mater, and combine with this good tilage practices and judicious use of lme with conunericial fertilizer, will ,e able to produce crops economicaly and profitably.
