sM0NED 722, 700 CIGARETTES.
SPENT $7,227; NOW QUITS

New York, Nov 21.-After smok-
ing daily average of sixty cigar
cites for thirty-three years, Judge
Edward w. Woodman, of the police
court of Orange, n. j., has quit
"the wicked weed" under orders of
his physician
Judge Woodman said that since
he began smoking he had used APP
proximately 722,7OO cigarettes. If
they all were made in one roll he
would have a cigarette thirty-four
miles long, valued at s7,227.
The pieces smoked by the judge in
thirty-three years would make a
fair cargo for a steamship and pro-
duce enough smoke TO smother the
Greek army, or enough hot air to in
fate a fleet of Zeppelins
judge Woodman is net a man who
wastes time, and he was surprised
to find that if he required ten min
utes to smoke one cigarette he spent
nearly fourteen years doing away
with the 722,700 items in his record.
Except fer a possible touch of asth-
me, the Judge says the cigarettes did
not affect his rugged constitution.

from the Orsova region and retreat
rapidly in the jul valley to prevent
being cut off. Whether even the
rapid retreat has been in time to
save the Rumanian armies is made
doubtful by the German announce

Graiova, as the Graiova Bucharest
railroad is the only convenient line
of retirement for the jul valley and
Orsova armies.
Berlin said the Russian attacks
were repulsed north of Campulung.

addressing the anual convention of
the national farmers organization
which opened here today
The Unon has never been in mar

here you may take it from me that
no amount of partisan lashing shall
drive the Union from the support of
It's friends nor force it to sustain its
political enemies. Knowing itself,

union is determined to control it

sane, self-sustaining and self-sufic-

examinations. Montana and North
Dakota and three others were near

pointed out, was the steady develop

business enterprises which were
getting better and more substantial
results practically everywhere.
IF we would earn more as pro-

more as wealth producers, said Mr..
Barrett. "We must know enough to
cooperate to secure and realize the
equitable worth of our work"
Through the efforts of organized

rural free delivery, the parcels post,

Looking backward through the

to our view no more significant hall
mark Of the fine Christian character
istics of the men and women of that
day than the beautiful custom they
began for us in observing a day of
Thanksgiving and Praise. The people

Iperity, peace and happiness that pre-

TO us has been vouchsafed a year
unmarried by epidemic, serious dis
turbances or economic loss. TO us
has been given year of peaceful en-
| Ijoyment of the prosperity of the COM
monwealth; and year witnessing
great progress in our Industries and
arts of peace. Our fields and groves
are richly laden with the fruits of in
dustry and are not laid waste in the
devastating path of war. The busy
whirr of the wheels of commerce have
not been supplanted by the rumblngs
of the wheels of cannon, the song of
the harvester is heard in the land and

within our borders.
Therefore, in keeping with the beau
ltiful custom which it delights our

hereby designate and set apart,
Thursday, November 30, 1916, to be
observed as a day of Thanksgiving.
That this nation of ours has been
spared the suffering, loss and blood
shed, yea, even the wholesale slaugh-
| ter of men, which are the necessary
results of cruel and merciless war;
that we have been kept out of its aw-
full horrors, yet steadfastly have main
tanned the national honor should fill
Us with spirit of solemn gratitude.
For these things and for whatever
cur individual blessing and prospre-
ity have been let us be truly thankful,
lreverently observing the day set apart
in offering praise and Thanksgiving
to the Giver of all Good who giveth
the earth its increase and guides the
destinies of nations
Let the people gather where con-
venient for a service of praise and
Thanksgiving appropriate to occa-
sion, and manifest their gratitude al
so in substantial form by having
thought for any unfortunate in their
midst
In testimony whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state to be affixed
