~. VC. 10 demonstrate our desire to
make the officers of friendship the
means of truly disinterested and un-
selfish service.
Our ability to serve all who
could avail themselves of our ser
vices in the midst of crisises has
oeen increased, by gracious Proyi-
dence, by more and more abundant
crops; our ample financial resources
have enabled us to steady the mark
cts of the world and facilitate neces-
sary mo> enent Of commerce which
the war mi hit otherwise have
rendered impossible: and our people
have come more and more to a
sober realization of the part thew
have been called upon to play in a
time when I'll the world is shaken
by imp ralleled distresses and dis
asters.
The extraordinary circumstances
OF such a time have done much to
qulcke0 our consciousness and
deepen and confirm our CO 3fdecce
in the principle of. peace and free
dom by which we have always
sought to be guided. Out of darkness
and perplexities have come f-ner
counsels OF policy and clearer per
ceptions Of the essential welfare Of
tine nation. We have prospe ed
while other peoples were at war
but OUT prosperity has been vouch-
safed us, we believe. only that we
might the better perform the func-
tions which war rendered it impos-
sible for them to perform. =,
Now, therefore, /, Woodrow Viii
son, president of the United States
ct America, do hereby design ate
Thursday the Twenty-Fifth of Nov
ember next, as a day of Thanks
giving and prayer, and invite the
people throughout the land to cease
from their wonted occupations and
IN their several homes and places
OF worship render thanks to Al
mighty God,
In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affix-
ed.
Done at the City of Washington
this twentieth da" of October in the

Mayhap it shines a little brighter, but
with strange and unfamiliar brill

the saloon of today with the past en-
cept the odors, and they are less ag
gressive.
Furthermore, drinking is going out OF
style. 1t has ceased to be an accom-
plishment. There are many consumers
left, of course. but change has come
over the spirit of their dreams. Men
drink indifferently now, and without
thought of the old-tine rivalry which
