The Presidents Thanksgiving
Proclamation. .a

| The season is at hand when, according
to the custom of our people, it falls upol
the President to appoint day of prais,
and thanksgiving to God.
During the last year the Lord has deal
bountiIully with US, giving us peace al
home and abroad, and the chance for oul
citizens to work for their welfare un
hindered by war, famine or plague. II
behooves us not only to rejoice greatly
| because OF what has been given us, but
to accept it with a solemn sense of re-
sponsibility, realizing that under heaven
1t rests with us ourselves to show that
we are worthy to use Alright what has
thus been entrusted to our care. In no
other place. and. at no other time has the
experiment sof gcvefnmentsoi the people,
by the people, for the people, been tried
on so vast a scale as here in our own
country in the opening years OF the
twentieth century. Failure would not
only be dreadful thing for us, but a
dreadful thing for all mankind, because
it would mean loss of hope for all who
believe in the power and the righteous
ness OF liberty.
Therefore, in thanking God for the
mercies extended to us in the past, we
beseech Him that He may not withhold
them in the future. and that our hearts
may be reused to war steadfastly for
good and against all the forces of evil
public and private. We pray for strength
and light, so that in the coming years
we may with cleanliness, fearlessness
and wisdom do our allotted work on the
earth in such manner as to show that
we are not altogether unworthy OF the
blessings we have received.
Now, therefore |, Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States, do hereby
designate as day of general thanks
giving Thursday, the Goth OF the coming
November, and do recommend that
throughout the land people cease from
their wonted occupations, and in their
several homes and places of worship
render thanks unto Almighty God for
his manifold mercies.
In witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city OF Washington this
31st day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
:hree, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
wenty eighth.

THE GRAND.

The Grand offers for its attraction
this week one of last seasons melo-
dramas entitled "a Ragged Hero" The
story is founded on occurrences in the
daily routine life in a New Engtxnd
village. Most of the characters are rec
ogn1zed types. The drama contains a
number Of thrills and climaxes.
The central figure of the play is an
outcast whose life has been wrecked,
by Villains perfidy. While he is the
typical tramp and INDUCES in no end
OF antics, the serious side of the story
is never lost sight of. He has a faculty
OF bobbing up at the right moment. and
his heroic deeds are an important fac
tor In the development of the plot. He
is not the comic paper type of hobo"
however, but an unfortunate fellow
whose domestic troubles have driven
him first to drink and then to the, road.
He is a genial character, notwithsta,r6- :
ing his many faults. This Character
Will be portrayed by Hal Brown, The
story of the play is as follows:
A wealthy farmers profiigate son
robs the bank in which he is emnIoved
and then implores his father to save
him from the disgrace and imprison-
ment. The parent refuses and GUAR
rel ensues which eliminates in the
murder of the old man: At this Juno
