whip and sent the cat bounding out of

AS the outfit had been bought and

no more for the moment, and the idea
of ride into the country was not I'M

SPIRIT OF THE DAY
America, With Her Countless Threats, Sings
Hymns of Thanksgiving.

With hearts overlooking with graft
tude for the blessings which have been
bestowed upon the nation by an all
wise Providence the people of Ottum-
wa today join with their compatriots
all over America in celebrating
Thanksgiving.
The year which is now drawing to a
close has witnessed almost uneX-
ampled prosperity in America. This
splendid nation, founded by men whose
love Of freedom and for their posterity
inspired them to journey from lands
across the seas, to brave the hardships
and awful risks attendant upon pion-
eer life in the new western world, has
profited by their achievements
and those of their descend
ants, and now stands as mag
nificent and ever-growlng monument to
their labors. The United States is
thankful for her position among the
nations of the world.
During the past twelve months,
though hardships have at times affect
ed conditions in some localities and
the way has been rough for the few,
the many have continued to prosper.
The mills and factories have been
busy, the waee-earner's nay envelope
has been bulky, the conditions of the
toiliug millions, the bone and sinew
of this mighty nation. have been bet
tered. America is thankful for her
prosperity.
Those who depend upou the aeri-
cultural pursuits for livelihood have
cause for gratitude. The golden
wheat fields of the west this summer
teemed with busy workers garnering
the crops. The great east was
drawn upon for thousands of strong
men who fastened from the college,
the counting room or the store to the
wide prairies to lend their aid in
gathering the crops whose very great
ness defed the herculean efforts of
the western workers. Meanwhile,
despite the ruinous floods which

Beginning with that of form er Gov

in which the history and progress of
the great commonwealth is chanted in

The proclamations mark the land
marks of Iowa history. The tri,ls
OF the time are mentioned while the
accomplishments of the state are not

proclamation. giving expression to a

adds with the sturdiness of conviction
which was characteristic of him. Let
us be thankful for COMFORT and
