THANKSGIVING FIXED
Thursday Nov. "a, famed as Day
Of Prayer and Thanks.
Last Years Great Progress in Amer
lea is Notable, and Causes for
ThankfuIness are Many.

Washington = The progress of the
country as reflected by the records of
population and harvests and the general
conditions of international peace, are
things for which thanksgiving is espe-
cially due for the year 1910, according
to the annual Thanksgiving proclama-
tion issued by President Taft. The
proclamation is as follows:
fThis year of 1910 is drawing to a
close. The records of population and
harvests which are the index of pro-
gress show vigorous national growth
and the health and prosperous we'll
being of our communities throughout
this land and in our possessions beyond
the seas. These blessings have not
descended upon US in restricted meas
ure, but overflow and abound. They
are the blessings and bounty of God.
"We continue to be at peace with
the rest of the world. In all essential
matters our relations with other peo-
Piles are harmonious with an evergrow-
ing reality of friendliness and depth of
recognition of mutual dependence. 1t
is especially to be noted that during
the last year great progress has been
achieved in the cause of arbitration,
and the peaceful settlement of inter-
national disputes.
"Now, therefore, I, William Howard
Taft, president of the United States OF
America, in accordance with Vie wise
custom of the civil magistrate since
the first settlements in this land, and
with the rule established from the
foundation of this government, do ap-
point Thursday, November "a, 1910, as
day of national thanksgiving and
prayer, enjoining the people upon that
day to meet in their churches for the
praise of Almighty God and to return
heartfelt thanks to him for all his
goodness and loving kindness.
In witness whereof have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington
this, the 5th day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and ten, and of the independ
ence of the United States the one hun.
dred and thirty-ffth- (Signed)
