Rresidl 1T Tells Why Coun-
try Should Give Thanks.
CHANCES WITHOUT EQUAL

People Of the Nation Never So Well
Situated for Their Own Advantage
or SO Well Equipped to Serve Them
selves and Mankind.
Washington, Oct 29.-President
Wilson issued proclamation desig-
mating Nov. 2e as Thanksgiving day.
The presidents proclamation re-
fers to the fact that the United States
is at peace while the rest of the world
is at war 1t follows:
"By the President of the United
States of America-A Proclama-
ton:
1T has long been the honored Gus
tom 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 a close since we last
observed our day of national thanks
giving has been, while year of dis
cipline because of the mighty forces
of war and of change which have
disturbed the world, also a year Of
special blessing for us.
fIt 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
nr-iui hyy
our peace and self-control in some de-
gree to study the counsels and shape
the hopes and purposes of a day of
fear and distress. Our people have
looked upon their own life as a. ma
ton with deeper comprehension, a
fuller realization of their RESPONSE
bilities 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.
Moved by Moral Stimulus.
"The hurtful effects OF foreign war
in their own industrial and CONNER
cial affairs have made them feel the
their mutual interdependence upon
one another and has stirred them to
a helpful cooperation such as they
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 9TH
ers has revealed them to themselves
as we'll as to the world.
"Our crops will feed all who need
| food; the self-possession of our peO-
lle amidst the most serious ankle.
ties and difficulties and the steadi-
ness and resourcefulness OF our bust
ness men will serve other nations as
| we'll as our own.
The business of the country has
been supplied with instrumentalities
and the commerce of the world with
new channels of trade and inter.
course. The Panama canal has been
opened to the commerce of the ma
| tons. The two continents of Amer.

friendship. New instrunlentalities OF

have the people of the United States

TO Return Money.

Now comes Mr.. Cobb with the in
formation that it will be impossible
to comply with the Bemidji request
as money is not available by the
commission from the state for such
a purpose and that the equipment
now owned by the state will all be
in use. Accordingly, Mr.. Lycan, who
has taken much interest in the mat
ter, and who has been anxious that
Lake Bemidji should be kept well
stocked, that it's wonderful fishing
of past years might continue, is much
disappointed and said. this morning
that the money he now has in his
possession from several who paid
cash on their subscriptions, will be
returned.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Dead

In the death of Mrs. Wood

tains a great loss at this time,

sympathy of a united country.
Mrs. Wilson was quite helpful
and, it appears, a woman of
exceptional devotion to home

gave the doctor, IF / go away,
please take good care of my

eminating from ''lowly con-
trite heart, believing, true and
clean" She leaves two va
cancies, one in the White House
the other in the Wilson family.

that he (Mr. Wilson) will have
courage to go forward to the
