When is Thanksgiying7

MANY people are wondering just
when Thanksgiving day will come
this year. Calendar makers differ as
to which Thursday is the proper one
for the annual observance and the
proclamation of President Roosevelt
will be anxiously awaited. Some
of the calendars have marked the
Thanksgiving holiday on November
%, while others make the Both the
day. There are five THURSDAYS in
November, which is unusual. 1t is
usual for the president to proclaim
the last Thursday as THANKSGIVING
day, but there is an idea among some
that the day proclaimed is the
Thursday after the third Thursday.
This would bring Thanksgiving on the
23rd. Since the calendar makers have
differed and little information is at
and, the doubtful have concluded to
wait patiently and see what President
Roosevelt says about it.

New Mileage Books

A new form of mileage book, and
one that will be greatly appreciated
by the travelling public, has been is
sued by the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION and is now ON sale, saws
the Dubuque Times. The book is good
for passage on all lines of railway,
and is radical departure from the
old style. When the book is sold the
purchaser does not sign his name on
the cover of the book, as has been
customary, but signs an Identification
slip, which is sent in to the milage
bureau. Each time the conductor
tears out slip he asks the holder to
sign his name, and when the 2,00O
miles are travelled the holder of the
cover makes a request for the refund
If the signature on the original
Identification slip agrees with that
on the slips of mileage torn out a
refund of $40. so is made. This refund
will not be made if the signatures
do not agree. The book is good on
all lines of railway in the territory
Of the Western Passenger Association,
while the old style is good only over
the one line Of road purchased from
or its connections.
