THANKSGIVING PRocLAMATtoNs

The Thanksgiving proclamations are
ripe. President Taft issued his and
the governors have been Ginning in.
In connection with the subject of
Thanksgiving it is worthy of note that
there was no Thanksgiving proclama-
ton issued by a president between
that of Madison in. 1S15-after the
close of the second war with England
land that of Lincoln in 1852. Presi-
dent Lincoln's first Thanksgiving proc
lamation was issued early in the civil
war-at a time when after a series of
reverses light had begun to shine on
the effort to restore the union. 1t bore
date of April 10 and named no parti-
cular day for the thanksgiving.
1t was in 1863 that President Lin
coin issued his proclamation recon-
mending the national observance of
Thanksgiving day in November. since
that time such proclamations have
been issued annually by the successive
incumbents OF the presidential office
and custom has settled upon the last
Thursday In November as Thanksgiv-
ing day. This year 1t occurs Nov. 2g.
President Taft's first notable public
act after the election, in which he was
defeated, was the issuance of his
Thanksgiving proclamation. Among
the reasons which he gives why the in
hahitants Of this fortunate land should
be thankful is that the people Of the

SALEM LADY CANARY.

Family-Laid the Eggs Herself.

A Salem lady who is bird fancier
has a canary story that she challenges
the world to equal. Her canary is a
beautiful bright orange yellow lady
bird Of the Norwich variety, and to un-
derstand the achievement in all is
magnificent proportions little intro
ductory statement of fact is needed.
The ordinary lay of canary is four
to six eggs, and the laying of six eggs
does not always insure the Matching
of that many, but ordinarily four Of
the six get through the shell. The Sa-
lem woman's canary outdoes all com
petitiors as far as heard of, by not only
breaking the record as a layer of ca
nary eggs, and still further by pro-
ceeding to rear the whole brood. At
present writing they are all alive.

children 1.-TWO weeks old are all do
ing well, and they are a sight to see.
