WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-The
President Saturday issued the an
nual Thanksgiving proclamation, III
which he pointed out the steady
growth of the Nation in strength,
worldly power, wealth and popula-

higher than that of any other coun-

clamation follows:

States-A proclamation Once again

people, it becomes the duty Of the
President to anpoint a day of pray

Year by year the Nation grows in
strength and worldly power. During
the century and a quarter that has
elapsed since our entry into the cir
Gle Of Independent people we have
grown and prospered in material
things to a degree never known be-
fore, and not now known in any other
country. The thirteen colonies which
struggled along the sea coast of the
Atlantic and were hemmed In but a

Indian haunted wilderness have been
transformed into the mightiest re
public which the world has ever seen.
It's domains stretch across the con-
tinent from one to the other of the
two greatest oceans and it exercises
dominion alike in the Arctic and trop-
ic regions. The growth in wealth
and population has surpassed even
the growth in territory. Nowhere
else in the world is the average of
individual comfort and material we'll

For the very reason that In mater

FOREST FIRES.

FULTON, K, Nov. 2.-After the
recent forest fires, which had been
raging in the Obion bottoms, near
here, for several days, were thought
to be under control and everyone
In the affected section felt secure,
the fires have broken out again with
renewed fury, and great damage is
being done. The fighters are re-
doubling their efforts to extinguish
the spreading flames, and the alarm
has been sounded for all to turn out
and help in the work. Many fences
and unharvested crops, as well as
number of tenant houses and out
buildings, have been destroyed, and
the loss already entailed is heavy.
The fire is now burning fiercely in
the Obion bottoms, in Tennessee and
Mayfeld creek bottoms in Ballard
and Carlisle counties, in Kentucky.

new PAPER PULP
FROM CORNSTALKS
Government Chemists Solve the Prob
lem to do Away With Need
of Wood.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2--The
chemists of the Department of Ag-
riculture believe they have solved
the problem of cheaper paper that
will dispense altogether with the
use of wood fiber. The new material
from which five grades of paper al
ready have been made is the or
binary cOrnstalk, and the officials to-
day predicted when the manufacture
of the new kind of paper is started
on large scale it will be- at least
SO per cent cheaper than the print
paper now made from wood pulp.
The bureau has been working on
the discovery a number of years,
but not until this week, have the re-
suits been SO positively successful
as to permit any announcement. The
first practicable samples of the new
paper have beer manufactured by
DR.. H. S. Bristol and his assist
ants.
DR.. Bristol has carried his exper-
iments to the point Of making the
paper in FIVE shades.

POTATOES ARE TOO
BIG; REFUSES TO PAY.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Potatoes
too big to be marketed were exhibited
In suit, which has just been decid-
ed in the District Court at Passiac,,
N. j. The defendants in the action
bought a carload of potatoes from
the plaintiff and paid for them with
a check.
When, on unloading the car, a
layer of enormous potatoes, some of
them weighing six pounds each, were
found, payment on the check was
stopped. The buyer Of the potatoes
testified in the trial that some of his
women customers chased him with
brooms when he delivered the over
sized potatoes to them.
The court held that the buyer was
entitled to a rebate of about one
quarter of the original purchase
price.

CLIMBS ON COWCATCHER
OF RUNNING ENGINE
Heroic, But Vain Effort of Engineer
to Save Woman From
Quick Death.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-James
Freeman, a Pennsylvania Railroad
engineer, as heroic as modest, made
a splendid attempt to save woman's
life at the Market street station in
Newark. Freeman sprang through
the window of his cab, climbed, per-
ilously, along the running board OF
the flying engine and, leaning far out
over the cowcatcher, sought to pluck
from the rails the woman, whose ter
ror held her motionless. The engi-
neer was a moment too late; the wo-
man was ground to death under the
heavy wheels.
Many persons on the station plat
form saw the tragedy, and, shudder-
ing, turned away. None thought to
ask the name Of the engineer who,
white-faced and shaking his head de-
spairingly, returned to his cab and
sped on with his train.
The tracks at the Market street
station are elevated. The woman,
plainly by mistake, assembled to the
eastbound platform, but realized her
mistake when an eastbound train
came In. 1t is believed she became
confused then and tried to reach the
westbound side by crossing the
bridge over Market street that be-
gins at the eastern end of the station
platform. This is not permitted by
the station officials, and, besides, an
iron fence separates the two tracks
to prevent persons from crossing
from one to the other platform.
The woman probably walked
around the end of the fence, but no
one saw her until she appeared on
the westbound track. In a moment
or two the 4c15 train bore down on
her. Freeman sounded a brief dan
ger blast on his whistle. Persons Oh:
the platform yelled frantically to the
woman TO get off the track. She
turned and, standing stock-still,
stared at the laundering train like
one fascinated, hypnotized.
1t was then that Freeman reversed
the engine, put on the brakes hard
and made his gallant effort to reach
the pilot in time to throw the woman
from deaths path. When the engine
struck her, her body was drawn un-
der the wheels and before the train
came to stop the engine, tender and
two cars had passed over her body.
The body was removed Mullin's
morgue. The woman had a handbag,
on which were the initials 81. F."

"The Barber of Seville"

Of "The Barber Of Seville" to be

Saturday, November z. the Ottawa,
Cam Free Press has the following
"To those who visited the Russell
theatre last night was served a rich
musical something both sub
stantial and delicate. To hear Ros-
sini's peerless comic opera, "The
Barber of Seville" sung by high
class singers, must always be a thing
to create infinite satisfaction. One
feels on coming awy from such a
performance that he has been carried
back to the days when there were
masters in the field of art, whose
productions were marked by great
care In the technical features, while
being full of the rarest melody; that
he has heard something far above
the rag-time and slam-bang of the
modern comic opera.
Two things stood out prominently
apart from the work Of Nine. Mont
Baldini- magnificent singing of
Mr.. Dunsmore, and the violin solos
of Herr Jacques Kinsbergen. Mr..
Dunsmore has a bass voice Of ex-
ceptional volume and richness. and
he is also a comedian of no mean or.

fact that she had caught the heart

Means Cut in Price.

So far the new paper has been
made In laboratory without special
machinery or the wholesale produc-
ton necessary to insure cheapness,
but the department is going to ex-
pertinent at once on a larger scale
and the officials believe the price of
white paper as well as other grades
Will be reduced to startling degree
The estimates of the department
as based on the present cost of wood
pulp paper, which is $13 ton.
With wood costing So a cord. that is
the price of the paper. With corn
stalks costing about $15 ton, add
ing in the cost of bringing the bulky
material to the Washington labora-
tory, the cost has been about $14 a
ton. There is no doubt in the minds
of department chemists that increas-
ed production will cut this, cost In
half.
"No special growth of corn is
needed" said one of the chemists
today. eve have used the ordinary
stalk from the Virginia fields, and
the kind which is destroyed in waste
full quantities each year can now be
turned to use. Not only will the cost
OF paper be greatly reduced, but the
farmer will have an added asset in a
by-product that ought to net him a
neat sum each year."

White Paper From Outside.

The white paper is made from the
hard outside shell of the stalk and
the yellow grades from the pith.
The yellow grades have much longer
fiber and resemble the paper made
from linen rags or cotton. This kind
of paper is soft and pliable
Millions of tons Of cornstalks will
be available for this new manufac-
ture. At present the stalks are an
nually destroyed in enormous guam
titles to get them out of the way
or are simply turned under the soil
with pillow to add slightly to the
fertilization of the next years crop
The process of manufacturing the
new invention is much easier than
that involved in reducing wood pulp
OF paper. The chemists have used
in their experiments the "soda cook
ed" process which has been found to
be the best for making the finer
grades of wood pulp papers. But
the cOrnstalks require only about
two and a half hours of cooking in
this process against thirteen or four
teen hours needed to soften the wood
