REAL THANKSGIVING AGAIN
Three years ago all hearts were
filled with thanksgiving because of
the armistice, which meant the end
ot the war and apparently the be-
ginning of a better era. Two years
ago hopes of a regenerated world
had waned somewhat, because of the
controversy over the peace settle-
ment, but there was general rejoic-
ing nevertheless because America, at
least, was filld with abounding pros
perity. One year ago prosperity na.i
begun to ebb and the nation had
slumped spiritually more than •eco-
nomically. The reaction from high
hopes was great, the disillusionment
profound. International relations,
politics, business and industry all
seemed to have degenerated into,
one great squabble. Men and na
lions nearly all were in a bad
humor, jealous, bickering and argu-
ing, while reconstruction lagged and
things drifted. It was hard to be
thankful.
This year business has been much
worse. Millions of people are out
of work. Many are suffering The
nation as a whole feels poor. Yet1,
somehow, there is evident today a
spirit of genuine thanksgiving. It
Is indeed, a spirit approximating in
Its high hopes and fine idealism,
that of the Thanksgiving Day which
followed the armistice.
Some' of this is no doubt due to I Thanksgiving Service Tomorrow

Not all of the great scouts were In-
dian fighters. In contrast to the ca-
reer of Lewis Wetsel, who was some-
thing of a professional Indian killer.
Is the life of John Chapman or
“Johnny Appleseed.” Chapman never
killed an Indian in his life, but be
probably saved as many white men
(10m death at their bands as Wetzel
dli
Chapman first appeared on the Ohio
frontier in 1806. He came floating
down the Ohio river in a canoe, tow-
ing another, and both boats were load-
ed with apple seeds from the cider
mills of Pennsylvania. His purpose
was to plant the seeds m the wilder
ness so that orchards would be started
for the aettlecs when they arrived
there to make their homes.
For the next 30 years he went every
where up aad down the Ohio country,
planting seeds, going from one orchard
to another, pruning and caring for the
young trees. He was a welcome vis-
itor In the log cabins of the settlers
for he always carried a Bible and
aome book* from which he would read
and preach to them before the blazing
fireplaces In the evening.
Johnny practiced his teachings ot
humility and kindness. He never killed
anything for food. He carried a kit
of cooking utensils. Including a mush
pan, which he sometimes wore as a
hat Usually be wore a broad-brimmed
black bat, but a coffee sack with arm
holes cut In it was his only coat
White men called him “queer," for
be often went barefoot in winter as
well as In summer, but the Indians
•aid, "He has been touched by the
Great Spirit” He went everywhere
among them unharmed, for the fact
that Johnny never carried a gun con-
vinced them that he was under tbo
special protection of the Manlto.
During the War of 1812 when the
British were overrunning the Ohio
country. Johnny Appleseed performed
his greatest service for his people. In
his wanderings among the tribes be
often learned of their plana for at-
tacks on the settlements. Where no
other white man could have gone,
Johnny passed In safety and more
than once he carried warnings to the
settlers, giving them time to prepare
for defense before the red Invaders
swept down upon them.
All this time Johnny Appleseed was
carrying out his cherished dream of
making Ohio bloom with fruit trees
and many of the finest orchards In
that state today owe their beginnings
to this strange man. In bis later years
Johnny left the country which he had
helped beautify and went to live with
a relative lu Fort Wayne, Ind. Ha
died In 1847.
When General Custer’s Fighting
Seventh charged down upon Chief
Black Kettle’s Cheyennes on the
Washita to the tune of “Garryowen”
that cold November morning In 1868,
at his side rode a man whom the In-
dians recognized, and they shouted to
each other “Look out for Red Neckl
He's a dead shot I”
Clark played an Important part in
Custer's campaigns that year, but his
most valuable services were performed
as a scout for Gen. Nelson Miles lu
the war with the Cheyennes, Arapa*
hoes, Comancbes and Kiowas in 1874.
His greatest feat was his part in the
rescue of the Germaine sisters, two
little white girls who had been cap-
tured when their parents were mur-
dered by raiding Cheyennes In their
Kansas home.
Two of the girls, Adelaide and Julia
Germaine, were recaptured from the
Cheyennes when Lieut Frank Bald-
win struck the camp of Chief Gray
Beard so suddenly that the Indians
bad no chance to kill their prisoners,
as they usually did. The girls In-
formed General Miles that two of
their sisters, Catherine and Sophia
Germaine, still were held by another
band of the Cheyennes.
Ben Clark Immediately set out to
discover where they were. After a
long search he found that they were
In the camp of Chief Stone Calf. Gen-
eral Miles secured a photograph of
Julia and Adelaide and an the back
of it be wrote a message to the other
sisters telling them that every effort
was being made to rescue them. He
gave this message to a friendly In-
dian who visited Stone Calf’s camp
and, unobserved by tbe Indians,
slipped it into the hand of one of the
girls.
The general next sent a message
to Stone Calf, demanding his surren-
der and telling him that no mercy
would be shown his warriors unless
the Germaine girls were brought to
tbe nearest army post alive and un-
harmed. In a short time Stone Calf
came In to the Cheyenne agency, sur-
rendered his white captives and all
four sisters were reunited. Ben
Clark’s scouting had not been in vain.
When the Cheyennes were finally
subdued, Clark settled down at Fort
Reno, Okla., with them. He became
their Interpreter In all their dealings
with the white men, and the Chey-
ennes came to honor “Red Neck” ax
much as they had feared him when
he was fighting against them. Later
he was custodian of old Fort Reno,
and when he died a few years ago,
after more than 50 years in the gov-
ernment service, his passing was
mourned by white and red men alike.

THANKSGIVING DAY
—The day upon which we give thanks to the Creator for all
His mercies shown us during the past year is here again.
—It is most fitting for us to remember the good things that
1921 has brought to us, and the misfortunes from which it has spared
us. As for the coming year, it is our opportunity to plan in advance
for it, so that through our forethought and action we will be able
to have more things to be thankful for when next Thanksgiving
rolls around than we have this year.
