Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.

President Roosevelt has issued
his annual Thanksgiving Day Pro.
clamation, naming Thursday,
November 26, as a day of general
thanksgiving and prayer.
Notwithstanding the general
political turmoil, there is just
cause for thankfulness and this
is so aptly expressed by the
President in these words.
"Year by year this nation
grows IN strength and worldly
power. During the century and
a quarter that has elapsed since
our entry into the circle of lnde-
pendent peoples we have grown
and prospered In material things
to a degree never known before,
and not now known to any other
country. The thirteen colonies
which struggled along the sea.
cost of the Atlantic and were
hem med in but a few miles west
of tide water by the Indian-h haunt
ed wilderness, have been trans
formed into the mightiest repu-
bile which the world has ever
seen. Its domains stretch across
the continent from one to the
other of the two greatest oceans,
and it exercises dominion alike In
the Artic and tropic realms.
The growth IN wealth and popu.
lation has surpassed even the
growth in territory. Nowhere
else In the world is the growth of
individual comfort and material
well beng as high as in our for
tunate land.
"For the very reason that in
materi'l well beng we have thus
abounded, we owe it to the AL
mighty to show equal progress
In moral and spiritual things.
With a nation, as with individuals
who make up nation, material
well being is an indispensable
foundation. But the foundation
avalIs nothing by itself. That
life is wasted, and worse than
wasted, which is spent in plling,
heap upon heap, those things
which minister merely to the
pleasure of the body and to the
power that rests only on wealth.
Upon material we'll being as a
foundation must be raiseds the
structure of the lofty life oi
spirit If this nation is properly
to fulfill its great mission and to
accomplish all that we so ardent
ly hope and desire"

A Smile From a Stranger.

Most of us owe debts of gratli
tude to strangers whose kindly
smile has sent sunshine into our
aching hearts, and has given us
courage when we were disheart.
ened.
It's a great thing to go through
life with a smiling face. 1t costs
little, but who can over estimate
its value?
Think how the pleasure of life
would be increased If we met
smiling faces everywhere-faces
which radiate hope, sunshine and
cheer! What a joy it would be
to travel in a gallery of living pic
lures, radiatlng hope and cour-
age!
Who can estimate what beauti-
full, smiling faces mean to the
wretched and the downcast-
those whose life burdens are
crushing them?
Many of us carry precious
memories of smiling faces which
we glimpsed but once, but whose
sweet. uplifting expression will
remain with us forever. From

According to reports from

producing a wheat crop of over
200,000,0o0 bushels annually.
This years crop is estimated con
servatively at 100000 bush

bushels of wheat produced in
this area during 1900, some idea
of the great expansion of wheat
production in the Canadian North.
west may be had from the fig
ures of recent production.
There are constantly recurring
pessimistlc predictions that the
world Is fast approaching the
time when the production of Ger
eals will be insufficient to furnish
the needed supply of bread. But
from time to time new and un.
thought-of areas of wheat pro
duclng lands are opened. The
latest of these under immediate
observation is In the Canadian
Northwest, which is coming to
the front so rapidly at this time.
Before all of the available area in
this great district is under culti-
vatlon, the plains of eastern ST
beriasand Manchurla will be going
INTO wheat as rapidly as is the
Canadian Northwest at the pres
ent time.
So far as the United States is
concerned, however, the time is
easily in sight when this country
will cease to produce, under the
present systems OF cultivation at
least, any more wheat than is
needed to supply the needs of it's
own people-Seattle Post Intelli-
