Will Deliver Messages At Noon Hour to Soldiers.

Thanksgiving day will be observed on Nov. 30th, and many of the Natiopal Guard members stationed along the Mexican border will surely appreciate a token of remembrance on that date from their family and their friends at home. The various regiments are planning on celebrating the day with a turkey dinner, and arrangements have been made at the Western Union offices on the border to deliver messages of good will to the men while sitting down to dinner at 12:30 p. m. It may not have occurred to friends and relatives of the guardsmen, but a message of love and good wishes would appear to be just the thing to add to the pleasure of the Thanksgiving dinner, as a telegram conveys & warmth of personal greeting that has a distinctly cheering effect.
