Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Governor Sheldon in his pro-
clamation, designating Thurs
day, November, 20, 1907. as a
day of Thanksgiving said,
among other things, the follow.
ing:
This has been a busy and fruit
full year. Our granaries and our
storehouses are filled with the
products of our farms and our
factories, Our pastures and our
feedlots contain cattle, hogs and
sheep without number. Our
commercial and business institu.
tions are solvent. Our people
realizing that they must go ur
or down together, have full conf
dence in each others honesty
and integrity. The industriou:
and frugal for a decade have beer
we'll rewarded for their labor
This has enabled them to provide
their families with the comfort:
and build beautiful homes in ou
cities and throughout the country
"For all things that have pro
NOTED our peace, prosperity ant
happiness; it is fitting that thank
should be rendered unto Hin
whose invisible hand controls on
destiny.
"No business will be transact
ed on that day in any depatmen
of the state.
1.-THE people of this state ar
earnestly urged to refrain fror
unnecessary labor on that da
and to assemble in their home
and in public places of worshi
to render thanks unto the SUI
RENE Ruler of the Universe fc
the blessings we have received Z
state and nation, and to in
plore Him to give us inspiratio
and wisdom to do nobly the wor
that lies before us. Let US CON
before His presence with thank
giving'-'For the Lord is GOO
his mercy is everlasting; and b
: truth endureth 10 all gener
. tions.'"

There is disposition to have
the women pay more attention to
cooking and household duties
and less efforts to earn living
in competition with men. The
worst trouble is that household
work is regarded as mental
duty and many women shuu it
more for that reason than be-
cause of dislike for it. If there
was a more general recognition
of the importanc. of the work
and greater appreciation of its
possibiIi, ies-there would be more
women eodcavoring to master the
mysteries of b o m c making.
Women naturally prefer to be the
queen of their homes to the hus-
tie and unpleasantness of earning
their living by long hours OF
labor in uncongenial employ me Mt.
II they would employ themselves
as s'renuously TO bee, ming ex'
perts ia home making as they
do at learning stenography, book
keeping and dressmaking they
would get better results. Both
they and their men folks would
be less dyspeptic.

Flour Shipments from Broken Bow.

Many oil our citizens do not
realize the importance of the
Broken Bow Milling company 20

that very few residents are aware
perhaps never ught-,hst
several carloads of -four are ship
ped out by the mill every week.
And these shipments are not
made to nearby or small cities IN
the state, but clear across the
United States where -four manu-
Iaciured by this mill is used in
preference 10 the far-fsmed pro-
1uc,s Of The Minneapolis mills,
sclling in direct competition with
their flour.
AS an instance of what the
mill is doing in the way of ship
Ding abroad, and which is a
weekly occurrence, one car of
-four has been shipped TO Chicago
nd two cars TO San Francisco
his week in addition to ship
ments to several towns in the
state, in which mills are located,
where Broken Bow -four sells
more rapidly than their home
product, although at higher
price.
The Broken Bow mill is ar
institution that is valuable to
the city and the country adjoin
ing aud should be fostered ant

If the doctors were consistent
about their ethical ideas they
should insist on newspapers omit
ting the "Dr." W en- publishing
their names. That's form OF
advertising. The objection of
ply sicians to uuethical advertis-
ing is one of the standing pieces
OF humor of the medical profess
sion. The doctors pretend to
wisdom and progress, but pre-
serve their medieval and ridicu
lous opposition to Legitimate ad-
vertising. Ethics with m os {
doctors = means opposition to ad.
vertising that requires their hav'
ing to divorce themselves from
any of their mammoth fees.

Coal Docks to be Built Here.

1t is given out authoritatively
that the B. & M. Railroad COM
pany have decided to remove the
coal sheds at both Ansley on the
east aud Anselmo on the west,
and combine them in Broken
Bow, work on the project to be-
gin in the early spring.
While this may see a matter
of but little importance-at first
blush-it is an addition to the
city of cousiderab Bile IN gnitude
as a number of men will be en-
ployed day and night, thereby
increasing the company pay roll
several "checks" each month.
The machinery of the gas
plant is today being moved to its
location in the basement of the
new building and tonight gas for
your lights will be furnished
from the new location.

New Lines Drawn
for County Division
A Small Bunch of Agitators Assembled
in Merna Last Saturday and
Drew New Division Lines
ONLY SEVEN TOWNSHIPS RESPOND
Enthusiasm Which Leaders Supposed
Would Be Aroused Failed to
Put in Its Appearance

A call having been issued for
meeting to be held at Merna last
Saturday for the purpose OF
drawing and agreeing upon new
lines for dividing tn, county just
twenty-five citizens were present
and responded as representatives

but they hid their chegrin as
much as possible and proceeded
to act for five thousand voters in
Custer counyt.
Just think of the nerve dis
played.
twenty-five fellows fix up a
dose which they would cram
down the throats of five thou
sand voters.
After 1t was found who were
present and wherefrom, as stated
above, a committee on creden-
tials was appointed to draw new
lines upon which to divide the
county, part of the committee
being Richard e. Brega, H. H.
Hyatt, John Davis and Marshall
Eddy.
During the twenty minutes the
committee were out exercising
their braius(?) in an effort te
make good for the town lot own
ers in Sargent, Ansley and Cal
way-especially for r. E
Brega-the other representatives
congregated IN tWos and three'

A report of the casualties in
railroad accidents from June 80,
1906, to June 80, 1907, has been
published and shows the number

,Ais IN eLlsH STATES ANS BOOK
TELLS Why AN cAilgoT
CONTROL CHINA.


Major General Sir Henry colyilIel
in his new book THE Allies gives 9
number Of reasons why Japan will not
dare not and cannot reorganize the
Chinese Empire with a view to the
domination Of the Ear East by the
yellow races. a contingency. which is
much feared BY those who talk about
the yellow peril.
In the first place, the Chinese differ
essentially from the Japanese in be.
ing without national aggressiyeness
They have no reason TO covert exter-
nal territory. Their country Is one
Of the richest in the world. They
only want to be let alone. They are
essentially peaceful people and have
more respect for the merchant than
for the soldier. Indeed, they have no
respect for the latter. In the second
place, what we call loyalty, or pa.
triotism, is hardly Known in China,
the absence Of a common spoken Ian.
guage making the inhabitants of the
various provinces almost strangers .
each other.
"The people of Canton and Picking
can no more talk together than those
Of Rome and Madrid, while they take
even less interest In each others af-
fairs. The Cantonese said, when told
of the Japanese victories, That be.
longey Picking side; no my pidgtn.' "
Years after the close of the war be-
tween Japan and China there were
places in the Middle Kingdom the in.
habltants OF which were In complete
ignorance of the fact that there had
been fight.
In the third place, the organization
Of China by Japan would have to be
preceded by complete change in SEN
timent Of the two empires. which have
always hated each other cordially. A
Japanese Emperor once beheaded the
members of a Chinese mission, while
only a short item ago Prince Fushimi,
the first Japanese Prince to pay aU Of
fetal visit to China, was snubbed by
the court of Picking.
A Japanese statesman Is quoted BY
Sir Henry Colyllle as saying that Chi
ma is the Turkey Of the East and will
owe her safety from injury at the
hands OF her enemies to the fact that
those enemies dtstrust each other as
