THANKSGIVING PROCLA-
NATION.
State of South Dakota.
Executive Department.

The people, the plain people, of
this state have great a to be
thankful for the many and bounti-
full blessings which they have
enjoyedduring the past year.
In all probability the state has
neversbeen freer from sickness and
disease, and OF all our blessings none
surpasses that of good health.
Another great blessing which our
people have enjoyed is that they
have had all the work they could
possibly 10. !. The reward has been
of the fullest measure and the result
is that our homes, the humblest as
we'll as the richest. are provided with
all the ~necessaries and many of the
comforts Of life. There is a some
thing about the completeness of the
South Dakota home that, strong as
the word is, does not fully convey
an adequate idea Of the comfort and
hospitality found therein. Doubt
less there are exceptions, and where
they exist it is my earnest wish that
friends and neighbors come to the
rescue to the end that all may enjoy
Thanksgiving Day. Toward the
unfortunate one let our motto be,
1T is more blessed to give than to
receive"
The multitude Of blessings which
are enjoying this year ought to
make US better giyers to worthy,
deserving persons and causes and

"A word on correct attire

With each seasons change of style,

TO wear. There are numbers of men, dis

be among the first to be seen wearing the
new style, but are deferred by a fear
that they might unwittingly exploit the
wrong cut. A few brave ones take
chances as early birds, sometimes catch
ing the worm, and sometimes catching
the laugh, while the others wait and see
before they promenade for style nonors.
This season especially there has been
such a marked change in the cut of mems
coats that ninety-nine per cent. of the
wearers do not fully comprehend what
the style authorities have been up to.
Last season men Of fashion were wear
