This trip is looked upon as one Of
great importance to those students
taking a course in animal husbandry,
as they may go among the breeders
and herdimen at the show and make
comparisons of ideals and methods
pursued by both the successful and
unsuccessful breeders. Besides the
educational feature of the trip, its
value as training for our next years

Chicago cannot be over estimated.
II is expected that the show this
year will surpass in magnitude and
grandeur all previous events of It's
kind in the south. Several promi-
nent northern firms will have splen-
did representations OF the several
breeds and types Of draft and coach
horses thing which southern

the College. The exhibit consists Of
eight steers OF different breeds which
have been presented to the College
BY different stookmen over the state.
The steers are fair representatives Of
their kind and as they are in good
show shape the boys have high hopes
of winning for A. and NJ. fair share

ton to these they will-have charge of

Mr.. Cleveland first calls attention 20

these concessions make Il unneces

that no corrective or remedial legisla

desire to suggest. however. Is that
such legislation should be directed TO

been found TO palpably need correc

1T seems TO be quite apparent that

THANKSGIVING NOVEMBER 20
President ROOSeVeItS Proclamation
Says Our Prosperity Has Been
Fraught With Banner.

Washington, d. Through the
Secretary of State the President is
sued his Thanksgiving proclamation.
Thursday, November %, is designated
as Thanksgiving Day. The following
is the text of the proclamation;
once again the season of the year
has come when in accordance with
the custom Of our forefathers for
generations past, the President APP
points day as the especial occasion
for all our people to give praise and
thanksgiving to God.
During the past year we have been
free from famine, from pestilence,
from war. We are at peace with all
the rest of mankind. Our natural re-
sources are at least as great as those
of any other nation. We believe that
in ability to develop and take advan-
tage of these resources the average
man of this nation stands at least as
high as the average man of any other.
Nowhere else in the world is there
such an opportunity for free people
to develop to the fullest extent all its
powers of body, of mind and of that
mind-character
Much has been given US from on
high and much will rightly be ex-
pected of us in return. Into our care
the ten. talents have been intrusted,
and we are to be pardoned neither il
we squander and waste them nor yet
if we hide them in napkin, for they
must be fruitful in our hands. Ever
throughout the ages, at all times and
amsng all peoples, prosperity has
been fraught with danger, and it be-
hooves us to beseech the Giver of All
Things that we may not fall into love
of ease and of luxury; that we may
not lose our sense of moral RESPONSE
bility; that we may not forget our
duty to God and to our neighbor.
"A great democracy like ours, a
democracy based upon the principles
of orderly liberty, can be perpetuated
only If in the heart of the ordinary
citizen there dwells keen sense of
righteousness and justice. We should
earnestly pray that this spirit of right
eousness and justice may grow ever
greater in the hearts of all of us, and
that our souls may be inclined ever
more both toward the virtues that tell
Iof gentleneSS, Tor loving kindness
and forbearance one with another,
and toward those no less necessary
virtues that make for manliness and
rugged hardwood, for without these
qualities neither nation nor individ-
ual can rise to the level of greatness.
Now, therefore, /, Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States, do set apart Thursday, the
2Sth day of November, as day of
general thanksgiving and prayer, and
on that day l recommend that the
people shall cease from their daily
work. and in their homes or in their
churches meet devoutly to thank the
Almighty for the many and great
blessings they have received in the
past and to pray that they may be
given the strength so to order their
lives as to deserve continuation of
these blessings in the future ("

It is amusing land also interest
ing to learn that the young Crown
Prince is already being taught the
first laws Of military education. We
learn that when the Minister for War
enters the palace and meets the young
Prince, the heir to the throne at once
springs to the salute. This is per-
fectly correct, according to Western
methods; but we rather think the
Koreans will consider 1t an abroga-
ton of imperial dignity unless the
salute is first given by the Minister.

Soon after his first baby was born
his wife went upstairs one evening
and found him standing by the side
of the crib and gazing earnestly at
the child. She was touched by the
sight and tears filled her eyes. Her
arms stole softly around his neck as
she rubbed her cheek caressingly
against his shoulder. He started
slightly at the touch. Darling he
murmured dreamily, at is incompre-
hensible to me how they can get up

Ours is an age when we give our
nerves but very poor chance.
Half the time our bodies are taxi
ing their revenge upon them for over
strain. The happiness of many, a
home is tempered with because the
overwrought one becomes irritable
and erratic through nervous exhaus-
ton. No moment of rest, no relaxa-
ton. 1t may be from necessary La
Dor to make both ends meet. it may
be the ceaseless toll and strain for
social prestige. 1t means the same
thing burning the candle at both
ends.
# taken in the beginning it is
easily managed. After a while it
grows almost beyond our control or
that of a physician.
But it can be cured, no matter how
bad, and can be forestalled. First
of all, when you feel exhausted, no
matter when or where, stop-rest

Go to bed as early as possible, rise
early, but get eight hours sleep.

tile attempts to speak occupying
twenty minutes, desisted with an ac-
acknowledgement of what he termed
this magnificent ovation, and a
plea to the cheering mass to remem-
Der the danger to the women and

The cheering was almost incessant,
and in the wild rush toward the Pres

their feet and men had to fight TO
keep themselves from being trampled.
