Thanksgiving Proclamation.
A Thanksgiving Day proclamation,
issued BY President Wilson on Friday
last, charges the people Of the United
States with responsibility to contribute
largely toward relief in Europe out Of
our abundant means.
The proclamation follows:
BY the President OF the United
States Of America.
A PROCLAMATION
II has long been the custom Of our
people TO turn in the fruitful autumn
OF the year in praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His many bless
ings and mercies TO US as nation.
The year that has elapsed since we
last observed our day Of thanksgiving
has been rich Ia blessings to us as q
people, but the whole face OF the world
has been darIened by war In the
midst OF our peace and happiness our
thoughts dwell with painful disquiet
upon the struggles and suiferings OF
the nations at war and of the peoples
upon whom war has brought disaster
without choice or possibility Of escape
on their part. We cannot think Of
our own happiness without thinking
also OF their pitifnl distress.
Now, therefore, I. Woodrow Will
son, President OF the United States Of
America, do appoint Thursday, the
30th OF November, as day OF nation
oil thanksgiving and PRAYER, and urge
and advise the people 20 resort TO their
several places OF worship on that day
10 render thanks to Almighty God for
the blessings OF peace and unbroken
prosperity which He has bestowed up
on our beloved country in such UNI
stinted measure And ] also urge and
suggest our duty in this, our day OF
peace and abundance, TO think In deep
sympathy Of the stricken peoples OF
the world upon when the curse and
terror OF war has 50 pitllessly fallen,
and 10 contribute out 81 our abundant
means TO the relief OF their suiferings.
Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude toward the
present struggle Of the nations than
contributing out OF their abundance 10
the relief Of the suffering which war
has brought in its train
I'm witness whereof have hereunso
set my hand and caused the seal Of The
United States to be affixed.
Ozone at the City OF Washington,
this l7th day OF November, in the year
OF our Lord, one thousand nine hum
dred and sixteen, and OF tho indepen-
dence of the United States the one
hundred and torty-lrst.

UNDERWATER TOOK THE BAIT

anecdote OF the same period, based on
the same situation, which occurr5d
among his own people.
Two Quakers. merchant and an
underwater meeting at an inn, began
talk business over their meal. The
merchant presently proposed to his
friend TO insure his vessel, lost or not
lost, which ought soon to arrive; in
fact II was alrendy slightly overdue.
The premium would necessarily be
high. but the times were peril0us and
the Yankee prlyateers had recently
taken many prizes upon the route the
vessel must cover. The underwater

STORING CORN CROP

Whether corn slower IL shredded
or not, il ~ Of great importance
that il be we'll stored and not left
long exposed TO the weather. The
mistake is sometimes made OF plac-
ing the hay crop in sheds and barns
and leaving the corn stover in shocks
in the field. The reverse IL better,
inasmuch as most kinds Of hay will
not depreciate so rapidly IN feeding
inE value and will keep better IN
stacks aud ricks than corn slower.
Unless placed under cover, corn
stover should be- fed in the fall and
early winter. II left exposed until
February or March il has little feed
ing value.
In the principal corn-prodncing
States the antumns are usually dry,
and corn fodder dries thoroughly in
the shocks and IL shredded and stor-
ed In barns or feed sheds with little
danger OF heating or moldinR. The
fodder should not be wet when
shredded and stored, but damp days
are preferable for doing the hauling
and shredding because the blades
are more pliable and the fodder is
therefore handled with less waste.
But in some sections. especially in
northern States, where the corn ia
/ full OF sap when cut, and where
damp fall weather prevails, much
care IS necessary in storing corn
fodder or stover TO prevent heating
and molding. In such localities 1t
should be placed under cover in
ricks not more than or feet in
thickness, or, il shredded. layers Of
dry straw several inches deep should
alternate with layers OF the shredded
slower. The depth Of the layers Of
slower can vary from several inches
TO foot or more, according TO lbs
dryness when stored. The dry straw
will take up some Of the moisture
from the slower and prevent heating
There was a time in the history
Of the corn-producing belt when rail
pens were about the only available
means of storing the corn crop.
Much to the discredit of some corn
growers, this method Of storing is
still in vogue, even in sections where
kgood means Of storage could be af-
forded at little expense. II is no
uncommon sight to see rail pen after
rail pen filed with ears of corn and
without any cover, exposed to all
the rains and SHOWS Of winter, and
these in sections Of the country that
produce the most corn and are con-
sequently most interested In higher
priced corn This corn remains In
apparently good condition during
the cold weather and is usually plac-
ed upon the market in early spring,
