Spirit of Day the wild turkey became tinct, the domestic bird, now a national favorite in Thaukscivine feasts. found way to popularity. There Is an impression that America Imported the present species of turkey from Europe, but the fact Is just the reverse. American turkeys were introduced first in Spain three centuries ago, and through g processes of the present delight of America's Thanksgiving day was evolved. Poultry raisers express the fear that unless the government experts at Washington, who are working on th problem, discover methods whereby domestic turkeys may be fortified against disease and proneness to die under adverse weather conditions, It will not be many years before turkey will go the way of the dodo bird become extinct. Fnrmwlves, in many parts of the country, do not attempt to raise turkeys because of tho prevalence or disease known as blackhead and limberneck. The government's experts are exerting every effort to find cures for these diseases, but complete success has not yet been attained, although a few remedies have been found fairly successful.

DaviJ Sort or la Chicago Tribune. Turkey Supply Falling Off. The result of these failures In turkey-raising has been a greatly diminished production, and, of course, prices soar In consequence. Southern Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, In the last several years, have been showing Increased production In turkeys. Most of the birds that find way to the metropolitan markets are from Texas and other Southwestern states, where the climate Is right and there is plenty of room for range. New England states, original home of the American turkey, do not now produce enough birds to supply the demand for the metropolitan markets, although every hotel In New York, Boston and Philadelphia announces on the bill of fare, "Vermont turkey," or "lthode Island turkey." The storage houses are filled with dressed turkeys that have Journeyed out of the West, south and Southwest to make Thanksgiving a day of feasting for metropolitan epicures. America's Thanksgiving dinner ha?i In the last twenty years, become a sort of International banquet. The turkey Is a United States Institution, but one finds on the table now Irish potatoes a la Hollandaise, or Spanish style ; vegetables from the Imperial valley of Mexico, figs from Egypt, nuts and coffee from Brazil, almonds from Italy, grapefruit from Torto Rico, French pastry and perhaps Turkish cigarettes. Thanksgiving day amusements have undergone as great changes as the bill of fare. The observance, as originally planned by the forefathers, called for attendance at church and an outpouring of gratitude for health and bountiful harvests. The Puritans held it to As be a day of Sabbathlike sanctity. the years rolled on, the element of rejoicing entered Into the spiri: of the day, and, after church in the forenoon and a feast at noon, the men engaged in mirthful games and banter, while the women sat around the "settin' room" and gossiped of affairs that held their interest.

Well, Santa Claus received that letter, and he went to the store and he asked the man to save that very airplane for him which Jack had admired. And when Christmas morning comes Jack will receive his airplane. Don't you think he'll be very, very happy about it? And can't you Just see the fun he'll have flying It about, and how he'll be thinking and planning for the days when he Is grown-uand can go up In a real one. Another thing Santa Claus is going to give Jack is a book on men who have been fine aviators, so Jack will be able to learn a great deal about aviation In plenty of time for bis flying days!

The mother had leaned a door shutter up In one corner of her cabin so that her shivering little ones could shelter behind It from the Icy wind. One of the children, creeping behind this poor shelter, said: "Mamma, aren't you sorry for the poor little children that haven't any door shutter to go behind?" In this child was exemplified the true sentiment of the gratitude expressed by the Pilgrim fathers. Gratitude is the open door through which we enter Into true peace and happiness, and this must find its rightful expression in unselfishness and consideration for others. What a different world it would be if the spirit of Thanksgiving day were to be demonstrated, not only on a special occasion but throughout every day of the year! Into the thought filled with gratitude, envy, malice, hatred and Jealousy can find no entrance. Thus Is not true gratitude a powerful factor in bringing peace and harmony to all mankind?

Changing years have brought changed customs, but the spirit of Thanksgiving still abides In the American heart, whatever the style of observance. In Indianapolis, as In other cities, scores of families are depending on the hotels and clubs to provide the Thanksgiving dinner, thus to ease the women of the household of the responsibilities. Hotel and club managers here say they are booked almost to capacity with table reservations calling for covers representing 10, 12, 15 and 20 persons. In other words, the family la going to "dine out" and let mother's Thanksgiving day be one of rejoicing, not drudgery. It would be impossible for all families to eat at hotels and clubs mothers know that! You can't change a sentimental mother. The result Is that, In thousands of Instances, mother refuses to consider any other situation than that of having her children at home for Thanksgiving day dinner. Turkey may not be the crowning viand of the meal, for there still remain chicken, goose and duck to top the menu. Mother knows, too, of other morsels that are the delight of her children.

(loveriior Wallace Issued the first official Thanksgiving proclamation for Indiana, fixing the day for Thursday, November 28, l&iO. No doubt there previously had been a general observance of the harvest's bounties among the pioneers of the state, but that was promoted by the churches, not by official designation of the day by the governor. President Lincoln officially restored the day in 1803, the first national act of the kind since the administration of President Madison. It Is pleasant to picture how the Hoosier pioneers observed the day unofficially by "Harvest home" festivals tn the churches, when prayer and thanksgiving were the program of the wor sliiptrs- liarly Indianapolis was built along White river. Forms were cultivated tn the surrounding territory, and a good lian-cs- t was the basis for rejoicing. St metlmes there was feasting, the original Idea of George Washington not having tost its meaning to the pioneer. Men went forth to the woods to bring in wild turkeys and other game that was worthy of being the "piece de resistance" of a harvest festival dinner. Evolution of Today's Turkey.
