Washington, Oct. 24.-r-The text of
the presidents Thanksgiving procla-
nation. issued today. is as follows:
A Proclamation.
"The time of year has come, when,
in accordance with the wise custom
of our forefathers, It becomes my
duty TO set aside a special day of
thanksgiving and prayer to the AL
mighty, because of the blessings we
have received and of prayer that
these blessings may be continued.
Yet another year of widespread we'll
being has passed. Never before in
our history or in the history of any
other nation has a people enjoyed
more Astounding material prosperity
than Is ours; a prosperity so great
that it should arouse IN us no spirit
of needless disregard OF our respon-
sibilities; but rather a sober sense
of our blessings and a resolute pur-
pose. under Providence. not to for
felt them by any action OF our own.
Material well being. indispensa-
BILE though it is, can never be any
tuing but the foundation of true ma
tioaal greatness and happiness. II
we build nothing on this foundation,
then our national life will be mean
ingless and empty as house where
only the foundation has been laid.
On our material well being must be
built a superstructure of individual
and national life. lived in accordance
with the laws of the highest moral
ity. or else our prosperity itself will
in the long run turn out a curse in
stead OF a blessing. We should be
both reverently thankful for what
we have received and earnestly bent
on turning It into a means OF grace
and not of destruction.
Accordingly, hereby set apart
Thursday. the 29th day of November.
as day of thanksgiving and suppl
cation, on which the people shall
meet in their homes or their church

has been given them and to pray
that they may in addition receive the
power to use these gifts Alright.

PROFIT IN PARKS.


Many people, all casual thinkers
on the subject. regard a park sys-
tenn as an expense without any re-
sulting benefit that can be measured
in dollars and cents. Most broad
minded people, we assume, regard
parks as municipal necessities, and
are willing to accept the better
health OF the community. the pleas
ure of the children, and the favora-
BILE impression made on strangers. as
actual profits on the investment. But
in Louisville. where millions have
been expended on the construction
of park and boulevard system. that
compares favorably with any in the
country, the park commissioners and
city assessor. a man whose duties do
not tend 10 the development of the
esthetic sense. put an actual none
tary value on the acquisition OF
parks and have computed the In
creased value of city property by
reason of its proximity to city parks
at $20,000.OO0. bringing in to the
city treasury an annual return of
$4,000
This is set forth in the report of
the board of park commissioners to
Mayor Barth in the following Ian
guage:
Former City Assessor ID. r.
Murphy has repeatedly made
the statement. that, estimating
the increased value OF property
by careful watchfulness from
year TO year. the amount of in
creased taxable value resulting
from this branch of your city
government has not been less
than s2O.OO0,000. Based upon
your present annual assessment
of s1.S6 the annual income as

Hand in hand with Providence
walks the farmer, smiling when sun
and rain warm the moist earth into
productivity, looking the personifica-
ton of nature when the season is
backward. Modern mechanical gent
us has raised a new order whose
prosperity is linked with Providence
the stock market trader. He has
long distance connection with Ceres,
Jupiter Pluyius and the department
of the interior. We talk of the far
mer being close to nature, but II
persistency Is to be rewarded the
stock trader should be next to ma
ture: but he never is. It is the GUS
tomary thing for speakers at farm
ers' Institutes to dwell on the farm
er's dependence on the elements and
speak of how nature may smile on
him and make him rich, or frown
and destroy his wealth. But to hurt
the farmer nature must indeed
spurn his attentions. She can but
act the coquette and ruin the ira
der. A premature frost. bit OF
snow, rumors of insect activity and
the market Is upset. and financial
ruin and suicide marks the day on
Wall street. The farmer has his
land left and can try II again next
year. The trader is the real sport OF
Providence.

This is of especial interest to Pa

ways this fact to be borne in mind:

ing the earliest possible advantage
of the system. acquiring the land at
a minimum cost, and saving thous-
ands of dollars in expenses; at the
same time maintaining sinking

cipal and interest of the bonds as
they accrue.
The park commissioners in plan
ming this project have considered the
very point brought out by Assessor
Murphy. They intend to transform
waste places and the worst tene-
ment districts into parks, redeeming
the eye sores of the city, and in
creasing the value of surrounding

rives its revenue.
Thus. Paducah will reap all the

which the Louisville authorities
speak. without actually making an
outlay beyond that established by

CHICAGO MEN
WILL VISIT PADUCAH SOMETIME
IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
To Come as the Guests of the Com
mercial Club TO Frater-
nalizc.

At Monday nights meeting OF the
Commercial club a proposition was
considered to prepare for visit
from substantial number OF rep
resentative business men from the
Chicago Commercial association.
This suggestion came from the Chi
cago people some time ago. The d.
rectors of the Commercial club real
lzng the importance and value of
having these representative CONNER
cial citizens OF Chicago pay Paducah
visit decided at Monday nights
meeting to carry out the plan, and
with this object in view, the fol-
lowing committee OF arrangements
was appointed by President Fried
man: Mr.. Ben Weille. Mr.. r. l..
Scott. Mr.. Harry Rhodes, Mr.. J. A.
Rudy, Mr.. Charles X. Wheeler. Mr..
Earl Palmer and Mr.. d. w. Coons.
II Is not the intention to have these
business men come to Paducah untii
early spring. when conditions will be
most favorable.
The Chicago Commercial associa-
ton Is probably the most energetic
and wide-awake body of business
mon in the world. A great man,
millions OF capital is represented
and owned by various members OF
this association. Paducah needs capt.
tai: Paducah needs TO let the out
side world know what we have here
70 attract capital. and II is expected
that the proposed visit will open
the eyes OF the Chicago capitalists
with the importance of our rapidly
growing and hustling little city, in n
way that will be of substantial bene-
ut. to not only the city of Paducah.
but also to the visitors from the
Windy city.
For Equitable Taxation.
At the Monday night meeting an
important communication was receive
ed from Mr.. William A. Robinson OF
Louisville KY. iin regard to Taxa
lion. Mr.. Robinson having given this
subject great thought and study is
an expert on the question and has
been working some years to bring
about improvements in the methods
of taxation In Kentucky. The direc-
tors OF the Commercial club desiring
TO show their appreciation Of his
work President Friedman appointed
a special committee composed of w.

tions. aud take the matter up with
