EUROPE With AMERICA
Believes We Should Be
Thankful for Our Great
Prosperity.

Hartford, Nov. 18.-Governor Mar
Gus Holcomb today proclaimed
November 80 as Thanksgiving Day in
Connecticut The document follows:
A PROCLAMATION.
In the old days, when our fathers
had reached the end Of the harvest,
they we're wont to come together to
give united thanks to God for the
lives He had spared, the scant food He
had given, and the hard earned free
dom He had yielded to them. To the
eyes Of other lands, this was not
happy lot. Today those other lands
are bowed beneath the scourge Of
war; their men are smitted down by
the thousands, women know grief and
children, hunger; their cities are be-
come waste places and homes but
houses Of mourning. Today, our fields
have ripened to a wonderous harvest,
work Of his choosing calls to every
man and opportunity opens to him a
thousand doors Behind our ocean
barriers, peace and plenty go hand in
hand, and they who but yesterday
scorned our crude youth now come
seeking the very crumbs that fall
from our table.
us, and the least that we owe to Him
is our thanks. That we may give
them, not singly but as one people L
designate Thursday, November the
tlhirtieth, as a day Of Thanksgiving,
and T request the citizens of this state
to set that day aside as a time when
they may call to mind how truly these
blessings we enjoy are due, not to our
wisdom or strength or courage, but
only to the unspeakable kindness of
Him whose it is to give and to take
away.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the state at the capitol in Hart

Canadian High Prices

The Canadian department of labor
reports that country suffering from in
creased cost of living to an extent as
great as does the United States. In
the six months between July and De
cember, 1914. the cost of a weekly
family budget of some thirty staple
foods rose from $742 to 1913, though
part OF this rise was perhaps due TO
seasonable differences. The cost OF
food in 1915 was reckoned 13 per cent
greater than five years beforehand
this throughout the Dominion as a
whole, not in the cities alone. The
cost of fuel and lighting was but
per cent greater than in 1910, but in
many manufactured goods there were
again Phenomenal rises. The predom-
mating influence the department nat
urally finds to be the war. and it
points out the compensating stimula-
tion Of the high prices upon industry
and trade. Not only did the war make
necessary production in many lines
never before thought of. but # made
profitable production that was not noc
essary and that had been attempted in
quieter times with unsatisfactory re
suits. War is also pointed to as max
ing crop conditions Of less moment iu
rising prices than ever before. The
short crop OF 1914 was Of secondary
importance I'm raising prices, the large
crop Of 1916 did not reduce them Co
anything like normal levels How
ever, much she grumbles al higher
living costs. Canada can not but re-
feet that the war rescued her from
depression accentusted by the reac-
tion from boom times New York
