AMERICAN OSTRICH FARMS.
Four in California, While Arizona Has
 2,0O0 Birds.

The recent establishing of the Los Angeles ostrich farm within the city limits of Los Angeles gives California four ostrich enterprises-the others being at San Diego, South Pasadena and San Jose.
 The South African farms do not manufacture and retail their prod uct, but in California, says Sunset. the feathers are grown. manufactured and retailed by the same concern.
 The initiative in the ostrich in- dustry was taken about 30 years ago by Dr. Sketchley, who esta blished farm at Anaheim. Later on other men imported birds and assisted in estab- fishing the business. The greatest development of the business has been in Arizona, where there are at present over 2,000 birds Their product of feathers has been sold principally to New York manufacturers.
 There is tendency on the part of the ostrich feather growers to com- bine their efforts in building up the in- dustry and in this way give to the southwest a distinct industry charac- teristic of its climate and sunshine. At the present time fully $12,000,00 worth of ostrich feather goods are sold annually in the United States, and of this amount California has sold approximately $200,000, whicl, proves that there is ample field for the California producers to enlarge their business.
 The cost of manufacturing ostrich feathers is less than in New York, al- though the scale of wages is the same The difference is due to the ever present sunshine and the warm climate, which makes heating ex- pense small item.
 The California farms can produce, manufacture and retail their feathers for fully one-third less than it is necessary for eastern retailers to charge There Is a 50 per cent. duty 1r imported plumes, boas, etc, which gives the California product a great advantage.
 The value of the California product is as a rule superior to the grade of goods commonly retailed throughout the United States, due to the fact that the feathers are fresher when they reach the consumer and retain the life and beauty which is often de- stroyeu in imported feathers by the methods pursued in handling, pack
 ng and shipping. The California product is sold throughout the United States, principally by mail orders, but retail salesrooms are maintained at the farms and in the shopping centers of Los Angeles.

APPOINTING THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS DUTIES THAT DEVOLVE
 UPON THE PRESIDENT

keeps.' and it is copy that is sent by special messenger to the govern ment printing office, to be put into type. Printed copies are given to the newspapers, or to anybody who wants them; but there must be typewriter copies for the governor of each state and territory of the union, and these are made at the White House and mailed from there.
 It will thus be seen that the issuing of the annual Thanksgiving proclama- ton is. from beginning to end, quite an elaborate piece of business. There is no law to compel the president to make it. and Mir. Roosevelt, if he had so chosen. might have omitted 1t this year or during his administration. Or, If it should seem proper to him next year. he might choose another day say, the 1st of January-instead of the last Thursday in November. But 1t is reasonably certain that he will do neither of these things, for custom holds fast in the bonds of usage the chief magistrate of the nation equally with the plainest citizen.
 As everybody knows, the celebration of Thanksgiving day dates back to the Puritans. At irregular intervals, after their arrival in this country, they set dates by public announcement for prayer and feasting, in recognition of blessings vouchsafed from on high. Following this example, in the early history of the republic. days of thanks giving were appointed by the president for special reasons.
 But somehow the pious custom fell into abeyance, and for many years there was no national Thanks wing. until, during the civil war, woman, Sarah Josepha Hale, who edited a woman's paper, and who had been chiefly instrumental in raising OOOO to complete the Bunker Hill monument took up the matter. and persuaded Abraham Lincoln to take an interes in it. Thus it came about that MT Lincoln issued a proclamation in 1864. appointing the last day of November or that year as day of prayer and re- ]oicing. Since then the custom has held, and there has been an annual Thanksgiving celebration for the en- tire nation, at the instance of the pres. ident
 At the White House, Thanksgiving day Is always very quietly spent. with. out any special celebration-barrin the fact that each married member or the official staff. including the po- licemen who guarded the premises. re. ceives a fine turkey. Nearly 70 fat birds are distributed by Col. Crook. the executive paymaster, who is him. self an interesting parsonage. inas- much as he has been attached to the White House staff, in various capaci- ties, since Lincoln's time MT. Roose- welt usually has several turkeys, which are sent to him as gifts.-Rene Bache, in Brooklyn Eagle.
