Food Supply Big Problem

Willard K. Shaler, who also is in
Rotterdam, sent the following tele-
gram, summarizing his investigation
into the situation and showing the
urgency for relief:
81 have visited The Hague and saw
Henry Van Dyke, the American min
lister, who Saturday and Sunday Wis
tied Antwerp and other places in Bel
gium. Mr.. Van Dyke said:
"'The problems of food and en-
ployment in Belgium during the win
ter are going to be very severe. It
is possible that the problem of food
even here in Holland may be difficult.
Antwerp Not Much Hurt
"T gather that Antwerp is not
much injured, but even there the prob
fem of water supply, food and en-
ployment are acute. Waelhem, Ma
lines. DuffeI and Lerre are reduced
to ruins.
"tHenry Albert Johnson, American
consul at Client, is visiting here. He
says the need for food is very great.
He will heartily cooperate in its dis
tribution. One of the members of the
Brussels committee arrived here from
Brussels. He urged immediate relief
for the suffering population, particu-
larry those in Brussels, Charleroi and
their neighborhoods.'

Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Comes on November
Twenty-Sixth; Nation Has Cause
For Great Attitude

"By the President of the United
States of America.
"a Proclamatim-It has long been
the honored custom Of our people to
turn in the fruitful autumn of the
year in praise and thanksgiving to
Almighty God for his many blessings
and mercies to us as a nation. The
year that is now drawing to close
since we last observed our day of
national thanksgiving has been, while
year Of discipline because Of the
mighty forces of war and Of change
which have disturbed the world, also
a year of special blessing for US.
ct has been vouchsafed to us to
remain at peace, with honor, and in
some part to. succor the suffering and
supply the needs of those who are in
want. We have been privileged by our
own peace and self-control in some
degree to steady the counsels and
shape the hopes and purposes of
day Of fear and distress. Our people
have looked upon their own life as a
nation with a deeper comprehension,
fuller realization Of their respon
,sibilities as we'll as of their blessings
and a keener sense Of the moral and
practical significance of what. their
part among the nations Of the world
may come to be.
"The hurtf1l effects of foreign war
in their own industrial and CONNER
cial affairs have made them feel the
more fully and see the more clearly
their mutual interdependence upon
ore another, and has stirred them to
helpful cooperation such as tkov
have seldom practIced before. They
have been quickened by great moral
stimulation. Their unmistakable ar
dor for peace, their earnest pity and
disinterested sympathy for those who
are suffering, their. readiness to help
and to think of the needs of others
| has revealed them to themselves as
well as to the world.
"Our crops will feed all who need
food; the self-possession Of our peo-
pie amidst the most serious anXietles
and difficulties and the steadiness and
resourcefulness of our business men
will serve other nations as well as
cur own.
"The business of the country has
been supplied with instrumentalities
and the commerce Of the world with
new channels OF trade and intercourse.
The Panama canal has been opened
to the commerce of the nations. The
two continents of America have been
bound in closer ties of friendship.
New instrumentaIities of international
trade have been created which will
be also new instrumentalities Of ac-
quaintance, intercourse and mutual
service. Never before have the peo-
pie of the United States been so sat
uated for tF0eir own advantage Or the
advance of their neighbors or so
equipped to- serve themselves and
mankind.
"Now therefore, I, Woodrow WI
son, President of the United States
of America do hereby designate
Thursday, the twerty-sixth day Of
November, next, as day of thanks
giving and prayer, and invite the pea
Pile throughput the land to cease from
their wonted occupations and in Their
several homes and places of worship
render thanks to Almighty God.

The present crown of the English
king was originally made for Queen
Victoria at her coronation in 1888. The
principal jewels were taken from older
crowns. The most noted stone is the
great ruby which was given to the
Black Prince by Peter TIE Cruel after
the battle OF Navarette in 1867. 1t was
also worn by Henry V. in the crown

FARIBAULT ARE WINNERS
OVER SATURDAYS BIG GAME
Continued from first page.

away for twenty yards and q touch
down. In the fourth quarter, with
the ball in Redwood's possession a
tumble was ne bbed and a Faribault
man again crossed the line. No goal
was kicked and the score settled down
to 13 to 0.
Fine Punting Done
Faribault had one of the finest punt
ers to be found in high schools or
small colleges. He was forced to
kick quickly as the local defence broke
through quickly to threaten his at
tempt, and each time the ball went
clear. His punts were high and well
placed covering an occasional sixty
yards a kick. After the first touch
down it was the visitors game to punt
out of danger whenever Redwood had
advanced the ball down the field only
to lose it on downs or an intercepted
forward pass.
Boys Receive Injuries
Faribault made no substitutions
during the game, while Redwood was
obliged to replace several players.
Andy Luscher received a bad biff on
the second play, but with character
istic grit stuck on the job until he
could help the team no longer. He
later went back into the game, but
his injuries drove him shortly to the
sidelines. Chauncey Welch in the
third quarter took the count when a
cleat or edge of shoe cut an ugly
cash above his eye. Jake Stensvad
went into the game not fully recov-
cred from his injuries which had kept
him out of the Window game. Arthur
Corcoran and Wallace Stewart were
injured. but managed to stick through
the game.
Good Individual Work
Some players of stellar possibilities
showed up on both sides. Faribault's
punter and captain, Dandelet, was in
class by himself. Hutchinson, right
half was speedy player, aggressive
and hard man to stop. Schulz, right
tackle for the visitors, was whirl-
wind, stopping plays before they got
under way, not only on his own side
of the line, but at the opposite tackle
or off end.
For Redwood Steele's work was par
ticularly commendable. Always alert,
fearless, fighting like mad every play
diving beneath line smashes or tack
ling runners off either end, he was
always an inspiration to his team,
and led the two elevens in scrappi-
ness. John Mason played strong
end, no run getting by his side. With
usual cleverness he nabbed several
neat passes Cor good gains, and car
ried the ball well when called upon
on end runs. Max Stevens, the next
to the lightest man on the team, made
himself conspicuous repeatedly when
he slid and lodged straight through
the heavy Faribault line, or when he
dove into interference when one OF
his backfield mates was carrying the
ball.
The game as a whole was the fast
est, hardest fought and cleanest game
of the season. The Faribault lads
are good sports and they found their
hosts to be as equally decent and
square. The Redwood team was en-
Enthusiastically assured by the visitors
that they had never received better
treatment anywhere.

TRIM YOUR TREES.
If You Don't the City Officials VIII
be Compelled to do the Job
for You.

TIE excellent growing weather we
have experienced in this section this
year has made the crops grow in a
way not witnessed in many years.
At the same time the trees through
out the city of DEBORAH have been
growing some, especially the bran
ches overhangihg the walks, and
they are getting to be nuisance to
pedestrians. They prove not only a
nuisance to your neighbor, but to
yourself as we'll, but still one never
thinks about his own trees, but can
generally register a kick on the
ne:ghbors. It's human nature. It's
the same with babies. If fond
mother had a baby that cried con-
tinually and cut up all kinds OF ca
pers, it is never noticed, but you
bet the neighbors notice it.
Well there is no law governing
babies who cry, but there is a law
governing how low limbs may hang
over the side walks and Marshal
Johnson has had orders to enforce
the law. So it is up to the resi-
dents who have overhanging limbs
on the sidewalks to get busy and
trim them. The law requires they
be trimmed eight feet high. 1t is
better for the owners to superintend
the trimming themselves, and then
they won't have any kick coming
about the branches being cut off too
high. Trees are valuable and en-
joyable features about any home,
but they need grooming as we'll as
the lawns, for 70 one would let the
grass grow knee high, and there isn't
any reason why the limbs should be
permitted to overhang the walks
and strike pedestrians on their
heads. A word to the wise is suffi-
cient.

Made Another Big Catch.

Last. week we made mention
about Harry Graceman and Chris
Qualley catching $50 pounds of bass
at the mouth of Dry Run below the
Rock Island yards. OF course the
$50 pounds didn't last long, so Sun
day they grabbed their fishing out
fits and hied themselves up towards
Blnffton, and the way that man
Graceman pulled in the three and
a half and four pound bass was a
caution. Mr.. Qualley was kept busy
stringing the fish, and didn't get a
chance to show his skill at ALL A
gentleman living in the vicinity was
pressed into service to haul the Ssh
to town, where a photograph was
taken of them, and of course Mr..
Gracaman is proudly exhibiting it
to his friends.

meeting, which contains much CT in
terest:
Reports submitted at the execu-
tive committees meeting show that
there are 100000 pupils in the

out the country, and that these
schools number LOO. The cost OF
maintenance for each pupil is plac-
ed at from So to ST. as against
from $24 to SIS for each pupil in
the public schools This difference
in expenditure is due to the fact that
instructors in the parcchial schools
practically give their services gratis
receiving only S11 to $25 per month
Scattered throughout the country
there are, as shown by the reports
submitted, 500 Catholic colleges and
academies, and II universities.
