THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION

Governor Woodbridge N. Ferris has
issued the following Thanksgiving
proclamation:
{" No Man Livethto Himself Alone.
This declaration is so simple that a
child can understand it. The whole
world frequently contributes to the
ingredients of simple morning meal.
The everyday comforts of life are the
contribution of many minds and many
hands. Literature, science, art, schools,
colleges, universities and churches are
the gifts of the people. Our own
United States, the greatest and noblest
nation on the earth, is Of the people, as
proclaimed in that matchless document,
the Declaration of Independence. This
charter Of human rights recognizes the
divine in the human. If it were adopted
by the nations of the earth, it would
bring abiding world-peace. prosperity,
and happiness. God has given man the
earth and its manifold riches.
This year, of all the years of this
great Republic, is fitting time for
thanksgiving. No nation liveth to
itself alone. May we on Thanksgiving
Day remember in our prayers and acts,
the millions of widows and orphans,
the millions of manned and dying, the
millions of prisoners of war in other
lands. They are our kindred. May
America become beacon light OF
liberty to all the world.
Therefore, /, Woodbridge N. Ferris.
Governor of the State of Michigan, dc
hereby join the President of the United
States in designating Thursday, the
thirtieth Of November as day for
the people of this Common wealth to
celebrate in Thanksgiving and prayer. !"

INDIANS FINED FOR !.
TRAPPING BEAVER.

The case of the People VS.. Gabe and
Paul Forcia, was on trial Monday in
the Houghton County Circuit Court.
The case goes back to the commence
ment of Michigan game laws. The In
dians, through their attorney, Harry
Corgan, stated that they believed they
were exempt from the game laws be-
cause of various treaties, including
those made in 1886 and 1854, with the
United States, when for certain lands,
the Indians were permitted to hunt and
fish as they pleased in order to secure
food for themselves.
Prosecuting Attorney Galbraith and
Attorney Corgan spent most of the
afternoon presenting arguments on
these treaties. Mr.. Galbraith held
that the Indians could only hunt and
fish as they pleased on Indian reserva-
tions. The offense for which they are
charged. killing beaver, was committed
in Chassell township, on the Snake
river, not part Of reservation.
The elder Forcia is an interesting
character. He testified that he is a
full blooded Chippewa Indian rs years
of age. He was born at the Assinins
mission and has resided there ever
since. The only time he left Assinins,
with the exception of hunting trips,
was during the civil war, when he en-
listed on the Union side for three
years. He claims to have seen some
of the hardest fighting of the war, and
has papers granting him his honorable
discharge. The son'is 80 years of age
and was born at the mission and has
resided there ever since. He has only
one leg, having lost the other in an
accident.
The csse went to the jury Tuesday
morning, after Judge O'Brien had re-
fused to dismiss the case. He recon-
mended that the jury reach verdict
of Guilty" but did not take the
matter from the jury's hands. The
verdict of Guilty was reached with
out leaving the jurors box. Judge
O'Brien then levied fine of $40 and
costs, but after lecture, wherein he
advised Gabe and Paul Forcia to live
up to the game laws, hereafter, he
suspended sentence. This is the first
time such a case has arisen in the
Houghton county court and the result
will establish precedent to go by
should any similar case or cases arise
again.
The attorney for the Forcias stated
informally that he would appeal the
case to the State Supreme Court and
perhaps to the United States Supreme
Court.

Miss Nansen comes of an old family
of stage artists. She entered upon her
career at very early age, and i'm
mediatly displayed great ability in
many an exacting part, soon becoming
favorite of theatre-goers, in most OF
the European capitals.
After period of close application
and serious work, she recognized that
tragedy was her forte, and today she
is to the Scandinavian world what the
Divine Sarah is to France. Like Bern
hardt and Eleanor Duse, she possesses
tragic expression and power which
is almost superhuman. Her ability as
a tragedienne was recognized by the
Standard Film Service Company, and
during her connection with this COM
pany she has figured as one of the first
class stars of filmdom.
The above attraction will be presented
in support of the first episode of the
gigantic 16-chapter serial, ''The yellow
Menace" on Thanksgiving Day, Thurs
day, November 30th. A "Mutt and
jeff" Comedy will also be shown.
