THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
"Free From Famine. Pestiienee. ant
From War" Cause for Thanks.

Washington.-The Presidents an
nual Thanksgiving proclamation, Sc
lecting Thursday. November 2sth. for
the people to assemble to pray that
they may be given strength to SO order
their lives as to deserve a continuation
OF the manifold blessings Of the past
year, triumphantly declares that no
where in the world is there such an op-
portunity for a free people to develop
to the fullest extent all powers Of body,
mind and character.
During the last year we have been
free from famine. from pestilence. from
war;" 1t declares. Our natural re-
sources are at least as great as those
OF any nation. Much has been given
US from on high and much will rightly
be expected of us In return. Into our
care the ten talents have been en-
trusted, and We are to be pardoned
neither II we sQuander and waste them,
nor yet II we hide them in a napkin.
I'VE should earnestly pray that the
spirit of righteousness may grow
greater in the hearts Of all and that
our souls may be inclined even more to-
ward the virtues that tell the gentle
ness, for loving kindness and forbear-
ance one with another. for without
these qualities neither nation nor indi-
vidual can rise to the level OF great
ness"

French Army Suffers Big Less.

Tangier-According to semiofic cial
information received at the Spanish
legation the French forces at Casa
Blanca under the command of General
Drude, suffered a serious repulse at
the hands of the Moors Moorish
troops estimated to number 1000 men
and equipped with field guns and mod
ern rifles not only drove the French,
back to the city walls. but menaced
the town to the extent that the French
authorities found 1t expedient to re-
quest aid from a Spanish warship in
the harbor to repel the attack.
Castle Anfioos, located at Timsour-
in. near Mogador, which is known to
hold half a million dollars, is endan-
gered by the advance of the third d.
vision under Muiai Hafig. The castle
is being defended by Caid Anfloos him
self, who represents Sultan Abdel Aziz
in the south.
The French troopship Artois left
here hurriedly with troops and ma
chine guns on board. This ship is GO
ing to the assistance of Caid Anfioos.
The transportation OF troops is seri.
ously hampered by the lack OF ships
and the outrageous charges Of the
transportation companies.

Wildcat Banking Ended.

New York.-Wildcat banking fS

day is gone when a discretionary poog

pany. Great as has been the disaster
Of the last week, the good results ac-
complfshed have been worth the tr0u-
Bile. When the public mind returns to

which they should never have been
permitted to escape. Stealing will be
called stealing hereafter in Wall street.

scale.
II the savings of the people in the
banks have really been in danger. that
danger is passed. for discretionary pool

about returning the plunder and escap-

The use Of clearing house certi6-
Gates was begun today and will con-
tinue for several weeks, or until tho
situation is back to normal conditions.
Use Of the certificates in New York
will compel Boston, Pittsburg, Chicago
and st. Louis to use them also. Tho
result will be an additional imitation Of
the currency, until such times as these
certificates are retired with goId.- or
until the people return their money to
the banks.
One logical result will be an immedi-
ate advance Of the stock market. Banks
will not be compelled to be SO drastic
with borrowers, and forced Liquidation
will be absent. The improvement in
the market will be checked. however.

Central Colorado Power Company,
which is developing the electric power
facilities through the central counties
Of the state, is working about 5000
men, and reports that 1t can use twice

Real Estate Men Have Cash.
F. ]. Chamberlin, managing director
Investment Securities Company:
Colorado is not going to be affected
by any Wall street flurrics. The state
and it's business interests are in too
healthy condition for that. Its
growth during the past few years has
been phenomenal, but yet Is not of a
boom type. 1t is on the line of per
fectly normal development. Unlike the
situation in 1893, the real estate men
In Denver now owe little money. They
are doing business on what Is prac.
tically a cash basis. When the real
estate men are in position to do
that there Is not much likelihood Of
financial troubles. feel perfectly
safe in saying that except for the nat
ural disturbance OF the stock market
and cessation OF trading in securities,
that Denver will never know that
there has been any money disturb
ance in the East"
J. s. Appel. The J. s. Appel Cloak and
Suit Company:
"The panicky conditions in the f.
nancial circles Of New York city will
have no effect upon the business situ-
alton in our state and city. In the
frenzied game Of financial acrobatics
played by the money-mad metropolitan
jugglers of stocks and manipulators Of
securities. someone eventually was
bound to fall with thud. Industrial
conditions throughout the country are
not such that paper panic OF even
huge proportions could gain any
headway outside of Wall street. Let
the pirates Of that cesspool Of mad
speculation (and might omit the pre-
fatory s. for another word) feast upon
each other; 1t will not sensibly affect
general or national interests. or even
be felt in the mining and agricultural
states. Prosperity? Why, never re-
member. in my thirty years of resi-
dence here. an autumn season fruitful
Of more healthy retail business in our

In order to make his views known
publicly, the President has sent the
following letter to Mr. Cortelyou:
The White House, Washington, ID. c..
October 26th.
Mr.. Dear Mr.. Cortelyou-I congrat-
ulate you upon the admirable way in
which you have handled the recent
crisis. l congratulate also those con-
servative and substantial business men
who in this crisis have acted with such
wisdom and public spirit. By their
action they did invaluable service I'm
checking the panic, which, beginning
as matter Of speculation, was threat
ening to destroy the confidence and
credit necessary to the conduct Of le-
gitimate business. No one who con-
siders calmly can question that the
underlying conditions which make I'D
our financial and our industrial we'll
being are essentially sound and honest
Dishonest dealing and speculative en-
terprises are merely the occasional in
cidents OF our real prosperity. The ac-
ton taken by you and by the business
men in question has been OF the ut
most consequence, and has secured OF
portunity for the calm consideration
which must inevitably produce entire
confidence in our business conditions

Escapes With $4,000.

Wichita, Kas.-SylveSter Harrison,
a noted character of southern Kansas,
is missing from the city and charges
have been filed against him in the
Sedgwick county city court by Mrs.
Katie Gathers, in which she alleges
that he has with him $4,000 of her
money, secured from her in what she
claims was clever real estate
swindle.
Harrison is a rich, retired farmer,
who inherited $4,000 from his wife.
He drew out Of the local banks some
thing like 10000 and with the 20,OOO
drawn out Of the National Commerce
bank on a check signed by Mrs.
Gathers, he left tine city.
Charles Carey, cashier of the Ma
tional Commerce bank, saw Harrison
place the $4,000 in currency in
grip. At the Fourth National hank
he drew $4,000, placing it in the grip
also. Three other banks report SIM
liar drafts from ;nem, the money be-
ing placed in the grip.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
being kept busy cut of Wichita in an
effort to locate Harrison. He stated
to local newspaper man that he had
a scheme to clean up $4,000 last
Tuesday.
Besides the charge of 'embezzlement
of the $4,000 from Mrs. Gathers, Har-
rison is also charged with passing
spurious checks, aggregating over ST.
900.
The accused was shot through the
head at Bonesteei, S. D., during the
land opening at that place and since
that time has been tried for insanity,
but found sane. In these proceedings

Elshty.three Dollars an Acre Average
Profit on San Luis Crop.
Monte Vista, Colo-Potato digging
is Just about finished here, and the
astounding number OF 100000 bushels
were raised this year in the territory
contiguous to Monte Vista. Two thirds
Of this enormous crop have already
been shipped TO Eastern and Southern
markets and the other third will be dis
posed Of within a week.
No trouble whatever has been expe-
rienced in finding a market for San
Luis valley "spuds," and in many sec
tons Of the East and South they COM
mand premium over the world-re-
nowned Greeley potato.
Five hundred thousand bushels Is
100000 hundred weight, and, taking
present price OF 80 cents per hundred
weight as an average price, 1t is read
lily seen that the crop is worth $780,
900.
Nearly $250,000 has been added to
the wealth of the farmers around
Monte vista from the sale Of this, a mi
nor crop: for, Notwithstanding its gi-
gantic proportions. this must be con-
sidered minor crop in view Of its
small acreage. as only about 1000 Of
the 100000 acres OF farmable land
within twelve miles OF Monte Vista
Vista were planted in potatoes this
year.
One need not be a dreamer" to see
that the San Luis valley has latent pos
sibilities which, IL properly developed,
would make 1t a potato-raising territory
unsurpassed in the world.
AS to the profits realized this year, it
fs seen from the above figures that the
average gross income from an acre of
potatoes is 1920. The average expense,
assuming that a farmer does not do any
Of the work himself. but hires 1t all
done, has been calculated to be $37 per
acre; thus 1t is seen that the average
profit, clear Of all expenses, to the San
