WAYSIDE GIRLS’ CLUB
THANKSGIVING
From the time of the landing of the
Pilgrim Fathers, Americans havo been
accustomed to set aside one day in the
year wherein to review the past year
and take stock of the dealings of Provi
dence with us as a people. Sinco 18GS,
the same day—the last Thursday in
November—has been regularly set
apart. The President annually issues a
formal proclamation, followed by proc
lamations of the governors of the va
rious states.
Praise for 1 lib goodness of God is
never out of place and never unreason
able, but it is especially appropriate on
days set apart, by official appointment
to notice tho mercies which havo fol
lowed us, the blessings which we havo
epjoyed, the kind interpositions which
have been made in our bohalf, the
bounties which- have been bestowed'
upon us in order that we may render
again to God for nil his benefits with
festive joy and heartfelt thankfulness.
The establishment of a day of thanks
giving in the late autumn nfter tho in
gatherings of tho fruits, was made by
the early settlers of New England, in
imitation of tho feast of tnbornacios
held by the Jewish natloijs. it was a
wise and pious act, and its adoption by
most, of tlie states and at length by the
general government of this broad land
is an evidence of tho diffusion of tlioao
religious sentiments which were at the
foundation of the settlement of this
country.
We may welcome ttiis annual Thanlts-
iiig in 1923 with the added interest
which venerable custom has thrown
around it, with tlio pleasing memories
which early associations weave about
our former celebrations of it with tlie
recollections of absent friends who have
shared it with ns, the reunion of fam
ilies, the merry laughter of children,
the pleasure of parents and hail its ad
vent as a day of sacred and social joy.
It should be observed with happy and
cheerful voices, and for tho time at
least the sigh of sorrow should bo hush
ed and the torn- of grief restrained
whiAo full scope is given to all tho kind-
liijr emotions of our nature. Lot us
crowd into its living hooTS tho pleasant
memories of tho past, tho happiness of
the present and the fnirest prospects of
the future and make it a bright and
gladsome dav.
Last Friday afternoon Mrs. Whatley
met our club at the club house. A dem
onstration on “Basketry” was given
and the girls were very anxious to learn,
so each begun making n basket and
kept verv busy all the afternoon.
We have a nice one-room liouso on
the school gromd and have it furnished
with an oil stove, table and everything
we need to make a kitchen complote.

LET’S HAVE WRITTEN
RENTAL AGREEMENTS
IS YOUR LAND POSTED?
Now that tho hunting season is here,
let’s give serious consideration to two
facts. First, so long ns land is not
posted, tho game belongs to anyone who
will come and get it. Second, game
birds and animals nre rapidly disappear
ing and many of them will become ex
tinct if farm owners do not take more
interest in tlicir protection and preser
vation.
The game on privately owned land is
tIre property of the landowner and pro
tected by State and Federal law pro
vided lie simply assorts his ownership.
To post our farms all wc havo to do is
to place in conspicuous places signs thAt
hunting is not allowed. This applies to
hulling, also. Especially large, big type
signs may be had of your local printing
shop nt slight cost.
There are other reasons for having
land poster besides the protection of
game. Many so-called hunters nro not
only careless of the rights of others,
but are awkward in tho use of tire-arms
:;nd liable to injure stock or even per
sons.
When protected, game may become
a profitable crop for home use, and of
ten is when protection has lasted sev
eral years. Some farmers sell hunting
nrivilcges by the day, by the season, or
for a term of years. Certainly we
should not let our game be killed and
our fields trodden down by strangers
without some sort of reward.—The Pro
gressive Farmer.
All tenants should have written agree
ments with their landlords. All land
lords should havo written agreements
with their tenants. Good rules—and
bad, t.>o—work both ways. Tho timo
for next, year’s agreement and eon-
tracts lias como and the sooner tenant
and landlord make agreement, tho bet
ter will it bo for the land.
It is not nil easy matter to mako an
agreement that is fair to cither tenant
or landlord if tho agreement holds only
for one year. The longer tho landlord
can keep a good tenant on tho same
land, the better for tenant, landlord,
and land. When the tenant has no in
terest. in the land’s fort lit y beyond ono
year, tho land will .suffer and tenant and
landlord also. The tenant moves to an
other place that has been skinned by
another tenant and the landlord gets
another tenant to help wear out further
where the last loft off. When land
lords and tenants stop trying to “boat”
each other and each strives hard to be
a good landlord or a good tenant nnd
work together year after year, then our
farming conditions will be vastly im
proved. *
The first condition of a contract
should take into direct consideration
the improvement of the land and keep
ing it improving. Another important
tiling to consider is whether or not the
stock, implements and other equipment
is up-to-date, labor-saving, and effi
cient. A poor tenant with good equip
ment may bo more desirabio than a
good tenant with poor equipment.
Anyhow, under no circumstances
should tho writing of an agreement be
neglected or overlooked.—Tho Progres
sive Farmer.

Prof. I. S. Ingram, of the A. & M.
School, closed the series of talks that
were given us in chapel during Educa
tion Week. His talk was a most in
teresting one, on “Community Life.”
He told us what grant opportunities
life wo have as compared with the
boys and girls of other countries. Also
thnt n responsibility rests Upon each of
us, and that wc should find out this
responsibility and do our best by it.

Five Ways to Strengthen
Co-operative Marketing
1. Local, community, or school dis
trict organizations should be ©very
whero fostered, and encouraged.' These
organizations ought not to discuss Sim
ply the reports and information handed
them from official sources, but they
ought to discuss freely nnd frankly all
policies of their organization and of
co-operation in general. But they should
also remember that merely talking
among themselves gets them nowhere.
They should reach conclusions and then
make these conclusions known to their
county organizations, thoir county
chairman, thoir district director, tho
executive committoo of their organiza
tion, nnd its president, .general manager,
iloreil ' anc ^ department heads. Some otj these
_ I local organizations will make mistakes
