Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.

Following the custom inaugu-
rated in this country nearly two
centuries ago and in accordance
with the proclamation of Presi-
dent Wilson, l., Joseph M. Carey,
Governor of the State of Wyom-
ing, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-sixth day of No
vember, instant, as a day of prayer
and Thanksgiving to Almighty
God.
The day named comes at the
end of the harvest season. The
people of Wyoming have many
reasons to be especially thankful
for the many blessings vouchsafed
to them by the Supreme Being.
The fields have brought forth their
annual harvest; the beasts of the
fields have borne their increase;
the mines have given forth their
products, and the fields OF discov-
cry have disclosed wealth beyond
expectation. The products OF the
fields and mines have found good
markets.
In the state there has been
peace. No great disasters have
come to our people in travel or in
the mines, nor have we been dis
couraged by destructive storms.
During the closing year in the
state there has been no strife be-
tween operators and employees.
The year has found great ma
tions engaged in war, which by
reason of the great loss of human
life and the waste and destruction
Of property, has brought untold
sorrow and suffering. Our coun-
try is blessed with peace and plen-
ty. The nation has thus far fol
lowed the advice of George Wash

KILLED BEAR

Tuesday, Forest Ranger Mill
Ames, A. j. and Billy Kennaday,
Killed three bear in a den where
thew had hibernated for the win
ter. During the fall Ranger Ames
had discovered the den, which
was being fxei up for the winter
nv the bears, about a mile east OF
the ranger station in the Medi-
cine Bow national forest. He re-
ported this to the Kennadays,
and the boys have been waiting
all the time waiting for them to
hole up 1t WAS discovered that
they had located and closed the
den for the winter some time last
week, so on Tuesday the men
went up there, armed with picks,
shovels and guns. They selected
a place to dig directly over where
they figured the bears was located,
and began work. They had dug
to a depth less than four feet,
when the place caved in, letting
them into the den. 1t was thought.
along in the fall, that there was
only one bear, but much to their
surprise and qualification, there
we're three fine bear, two black
and one brown. For a short time
the bears and the men had the
time of their lives, but long knives
made the fight uneven, and even
tually the bears fell a prey to the
men, and were killed.
The affair was very exciting, in
asmuch as the boys had not plan
ned upon having the den cave in,
and then, too, they were only
looking for one Bruin, and were
dumfounded when they discover
ed three. One black one and the
brown n were young bear, while
the other black one was old and
weighed about 500 pounds. This
makes six bear killed rear Sara
toga, this fall, Angus England
having killed three a short time
ago, while hunting deer.

his way to every heart, and he is
as much of a favorite with the lit

walk of life. He is the same with
little folks, young people, grown
ups or elderly people. In him
they find a common plain to meet
upon. The wonderful work of the
Judge through life and for the
great West, and for humanity,
has made him closer to his people
than few men ever can hope to
get. In his entertainments this
week he has shown the same abil-

regular work, and it is needless to

respect in any community than
does Judge Kuykendall in this

not only to maintain the student
at some Oxford college during the
collegiate year, but also to enable
him to travel and study on the
continent to some extent during
vacations. The young men select
ed must be men of good moral
character, interested in manly
sports, and of exceptional promise

Purchased Meat Market.

Chas. Pennock this week pur-
chased the holdings of William
Turnbull on Bridge street, and
will open for business on the 1st
of December. Mr.. Pennock start
ed in the butcher business here,
under Mr.. Turnbull several years
ago, and from here he went to
work for the Union Pacific Coal
Go. at Hanna, and then later at
Superior, Wyoming, and in the
several years he worked for that
company he held a trusted posi-
ton, and when he left the employ
of that company, on account of
his health some four or five years
ago, he received the highest rec
concentrations possible.
Mr.. Turnbull for many years
ran the local meat shop, and upon
going into the cattle business
some two years ago, he leased the
shop to Mannahen q Son, who
have given very good satisfaction
in this business. VIM. Mannahen,
Jr., has become a good butcher
under Mr.. Turnbull, and everyone
will regret to see him out of the
shop.

cur giving him an opportunity to
define wiz. the same clear insight, Just
what the constitution means by pro-
| tecting d citizen in the ownership OF
property. Does it include tee use OF
that property or does it mean merely
physical possession? L. restricted to
mere physical possession, then the
constitutional guarantee is hollow
mcckery for combinations of capital

derri,e me of my property By de-
stroying its use.
All of these questions must be final
ly adjudicated in the courts Of the
land. l feel that this worldwide war
is the end OF one epoe2, and the be-
ginning CT a new one in the science
of government and finance. The ul-
innate aim of a true democracy it to
give to each individual his just rights
and no more. This must involve an
equitable division o, the burdens Of
organized society. as We'll as the bene
fits.
A situation like the present offers
fertile field for money and power to
fatten at the expense OF weakness and
poverty. Tie farmers can not bear,
without destruction, the entire bur-
den of this situation. 1t must be dis
tri5uted over the entire body polite,
and there is no force strong enough
to curb money and its power, save Or
ganized government. This is the log
ical sequence of the statement. "the
whole policy of the State is bound up
in tie growing, the sale and the man
ufacture of cotton"
Strong Protector.
What a grand conception of govern
ment it is to stand strong, curbing
human greed and protecting human
weakness. Do not be deceived; the
entire world is deeply interested in
getting your cotton at tie lowest pos
sible price. They intend you to shoul-
der the entire loss on this crop and
let you make another one if you can.
The more cotton you make, the less
you get. If one-half Of the cotton
crop were destroyed, the portin let
would sell fr more tnan the whole.
Why is it that as soon as Liverpool
and New York settled t>eir straddle
contracts, that the exchange opened?
7 ey are knocking the price down
every day. Why does not the stock
exchange open? Because it would
lower the price of stocks and bonds.
T3ese are held by capitalists, while
cotton is held by the Southern farm
er. These capitalists wish to use
high-priced stocks, through the re-
gion reserve system, to get money to
buy scent cotton in the South. Cotton
in Europe is NV worth % cents per
pound. If they can get your cotton
at cent, they will make tie biggest
Killing ever seen. Any government
that will stand for suca infamy and
not mold out a protecting hand TO the
producers is unworthy the support of
an honest man.
If l had the warehouse system that
l pleaded With the legislature for one
year ago, would be opening Up di-
rect trade wit Manchester and estab-
fishing stable price for cotton
The only remedy is to warehouse
your cotton and get money on the re-
ceipts to ease up your creditors. II
you will plant grain, raise stock and
produce no cotton in 1915, you Will
get tie benefit OF war prices later.

I'M Piled in this remark threat that
ii the governor does not take part

people do not want their schools

will be to pay their taxes to the coun-
ty treasurers The county treasurers
will send it to the State treasurer and
there will be sufficient amount of
money to run the government and the
schools without borrowing a dollar
If the people do not pay tGeir taxes
and the schools should be Closed, tie
responsibility will be with those who
tailed to pay and not With those who

have absolutely nothing whatever to
do with tie borrowing of this money
and sail not put my name on any

not want their SCHOOLS to close, let
them pay their taxes If it is hard
snip upon them to pay their taxes, let
them curse the men they elected and
sent to the legislature and not tie
governor, for ne certainly did his part
in trying to get them to relieve con-
ditions and they refused to do. so.
Now, if tie people will pay their
taxes, the schools will run on, the
government will run on and these
same taxpayers will be saved paying
more exorbitant interest on 100000,
or $150,000 loan. If they don't do it,
let the responsibility go where it be-
longs.
There is quite difference between
the borrowing Of money now and TIE
borrowing O. money in May or June
because, in May or June, u,ere were
70 taxes to collect and tie people
could not relieve the situation at that
time. Now, it is absolutely unneces-
