TO GIVE THANKS NOVEMBER 2s.

Washington, Nov. T. President
Taft today issued proclamation set
ting aside November % as Thanks
giving day.
The proclamation follows:
States of America:
"A God fearing nation, like ours,
owes it to its Unborn and sincere
sense or moral duty to testify its de-
vout gratitude to the AlI-Giver for
the countless benefits it has enjoyed
For many years it has been customary
at the close of the year for the ma
tional executive to call upon his
fellow countrymen to offer praise and
thanks to God for the manifold bless
ings vouchsafed to them in the past
and to unite in earnest suppliance
for their continuance.
1.-The year now drawing to close
has been notably favorable to our
fortunate land. At peace within and
without, free from the perturbations
and calamities that have afflicted
other people, rich in harvests so a
bundant and in industries so produc-
tive that the overflow of our pros
perity has advanced the whole world,
strong in the steadfast conservation
of the heritage of self government be-
queathed to us by the wisdom of our
fathers, and firm in the resolve to
transmit that heritage, unimpaired
but rather improved by good use, to
children and our children's children
for all time to come, the people of
this country have cause for great
gratitude.
Wherefore, /, W. II. Taft, presi-
dent of the United States of America,
in pursuance of long usage and in re-
sponse to the wish of the American
people, invite my countrymen, where
soever they may sojourn, to join, on
Thursday the twenty-eighth day of
this month of November in appropri-
ate ascription of praise and thanks to
God for the good gifts that have been
our portion, and in humble prayer
that His great mercies toward US
may endure.
sin witness thereof, 1 have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to lie affixed.
'sDone at the city of Washington,
this seventh day of November, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand nine
hundred and twelve, and of the indie
pendence of the United States OF
America, the one hundred and thirty
seventh.

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock ards, Nov. II,
1912. The good supply of 26,O0O cattle,
including 1000 calves, yesterday was
handled in a capable manner, the
only complaint from sellers being
that short fed steers sold weak to ten
lower. Middle class fed steers are
day, though buyers claim prices are
fully steady with yesterday. The
mates of steers that brought S6. so
yesterday sold at S6.65 today in proof
of this contention, but testimony on
the other side is that steers today at
S7.15 are like their feed lot compan-
ions that brought SIPS the middle of
last week. The run is IA 900 today,
which is not burdensome at all, but
rather points to the tapering down of
the fall offerings. Colorado, New
Mexico and Texas had good many
cattle here yesterday, and those sec
tions are loading busily this week,
but from now on that territory will
be gradually tied up for the winter
so far as shipping cattle is concerned,
whenever storms put an end to work
ing the cattle. Stock cattle and feed
erS are 10 to 25 higher this week.
range stock steers selling freely at
IS. IS to s6.65, and feeders at So 90 to
800, stock calves up to S7.25, and a
few fancy stock heifers up to Sc. 25,
others at 81. so and upwards. A big
run of cheap southern cattle came in
yesterday, from Louisiana and Ar
kansas, the steers selling S3.75 to
81 80, cows $3.50 TO a. .25, good Okla
homa steers in the southern division
at S5. IS to So. 25, and a drove of short
fed southerns weighing 1160 pounds
today at $3.50. The best price in the
native division this week is $1,000,
and bulk of fed steers bring $3.50 to
Sc. 90, veal calves up to $1,000.
Hog receipts today ran up to IL, ,OOC
head, and good demand developed
averaging steady with Yesterday. Tol

Stocks of pork product are diminish

(Tune) sWhen Coxey Marched Down
for to See"
Hurrah boys, hurrah for vacation,
IT'S coming and that pretty soon;
In box-cars we'll ride DER the nation,
Or take a long walk to the moon.
Well get a hand-out from the farmer,
So cheap he will give it away,
Or we can line up at asoup-house
To get free luncll once day.
Well be free from the rush and the
clamor
That has hustled US round these
twelve years,
Well be free from the sound of the
hammer
That's so devilish hard on the ears.
Let'em work if they want to in Eng
land
In Dutchland, in Sweden, and
France,
For now that we've won the election,
Most surely We'll give them a
chance
Well be free from the hum of the
spindle
The clattering noise of the loom.
We Freemen no longer need kindle
The fires in the big boiler room.
The rocks may lie resting in quarries,
The iron may stay in the hills;
1t will do for some new generation,
But we will not bother with mills.
And those who may wish any cloth
ing
May float it from over the pond.
For labor we have such loathing,
Well place it clear in the beyond.
And soon we'll be rid of our bosses;
So chortle the chant of the free:
"Freee silk and free soup and free
diamonds
Free trade oh how glorious twill
be-
Then let it blow colder or hotter,
The highways we're free to adorn.
We have the free air and free water,
Free bed in some hayStack or barn.
No whistle will wake us of mornings,
Well be free then to sleep until
noon.
Then hnrrah boys hurrah for vaca-
tionI
'Tis coming and that pretty soon
Yours lawfully

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS NOTES.
CABBAGE JOINS RANKS OF DIGEsTIBLE
VEGETABLES

VEGETABLES
Citizens of Wa-Keeney who find
cabbage indigestible need no longer
fear the vegetable A discovery made
by the department of home eco
nomics at the University of Kansas
robs cabbage of all its dangerous
most palatable foods.
The secret lies all in the cooking.
Glasses under DR.. Edna Day found
that when the cabbage is removed
Immediately from the water in which
it is cooked, it does not become brown
or indigestible. This is because the
vegetable throws off decomposition
products while boiling and if taken
from the liquid at once, does not
absorb them again.
TEACH KANSAS YOUNG IDEA HOW TO
SHOOT
Teaching the young idea how to
shoot will be carried out in earnest
this year at the University of Kansas.
A college rifle club will be formed
under directions of the department of
physical education and students will
be instructed in hitting the bullseye-
The organization will have mem
bership in the National Rife Asso-
citation and will compete with other
colleges for championship honor
THEY DONT PRESCRIBE THAT 'sDIGES-
TIVE CRAWL,
Kansas University physicians dc
not advise citizens of Wa-Keeney to
follow the instructions of the eastern
food specialist who declared that the
proper way to digest food was to
crawl on hands and knees after dinner.
DR.. James Naismith, physical cul-
ture expert, ridicules the idea.
This digestive crawl is freakish, u
he declares ssOur digestion sytsem
is just as good as the lower animals.
In the first place, don't eat too much.
But if you do, don't creep around
Lie down on your stomach, or take a
walk in the open air.

KANSAS WILL ENTERTAIN PRESIDENT
ELECT WILSON
President-elect Woodrow Wilson is
coming to Kansas this month He
will be one of the principal speakers
at the annual convention of the Social
Center Associations of America which
will meet at the University of Kan
sas November 2G-23.
Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt
will deliver addresses at the meetings,
these speakers were too busy to at
tend that the convention was post
poned one month from its original
date in October.
The essential idea in the social
center movement is to make the
school house the meeting place of the
community for unlimited public dis
cussion and to use it as nucleus for
the social, civic and fractional life of
the neighborhood.
LOOK OUT FOR RABIES
''Look out for rabies'' is the warn
ing sounded by the University of
Kansas hospital at Rosedale. This
disease has increased so rapidly in
the state during the last year that
DIR. NJ. 7. Sudler in charge of the
hospital declares that immediate
legislation is absolutely necessary to
stamp it out.
OFFERS COURSE FOR NURSES
Girls of Kansas can learn to become
nurses within their own state. The
University of Kansas hospital at
Rosedale has announced a special
course of training for that profession.
Not only is the work offered without
charge, but after the probation
period, 800 month, in addition to
board and lodging is given during the
entire course of two and one half
years.

Here's romance hot from the grid

Fawn Shipley and some other young
ladies spied bottle floating in the

cided, just for the novelty of the
thing to write their names and ad-
dresses on sheet of paper, seal it in
the bottle and let it drift wherever
IL would in search of a romantic re-
ply This done the girls returned to
their respective homes and forgot the
incident. But the bottle didn't for
get its mission. 1t was out in search
of romance. And it kept floating
laZily over the seas of the western
hemisphere until it found another

of a United States soldier boy on the

My friend, in this world it's the
the scowl- The person whose face is
never lighted by a smile and whose
voice is never heard in laughter is a
pretty good man to pass up The man
who smiles on cloudy days as well as
bright ones is the man who gets the
most out of life. There is an old say
ing that the mill will never grind
with the water that is past, and what
can't be cured must be endured. Mis-
fortune may have overtaken you in
traitor-but smile and put away your
frowns and lamentations and go to
bat again. Your turn is bound to
come. Smile, and your friends
will join you Scowl and they
will leave you alone. By this
L don't mean that you should
smile at all things. / wouldn't ad-
wise you to do it at funeral, nor do /
think it the proper thing to do when
some fellow has hauled off and slugg-
you must use your own judgment.
What L mean is that you should try
to smile at the proper time and grow
serious when necessary In other
words don't be crouch. The smiler
you will find, is the fellow who gener-
ally holds the winning hand in the
game of life.-OSborne Farmer
