HUGHES READY TO START.
Republican Nominee Will Leave Estes
Park, Col, This Afternoon.

Estes Park, Col, Aug. 3l-Charles +
Hughes, accompanied by his wife,
tramped the lower trails of Mt. Mead
for two hours yesterday morning Re-
turning to his hotel, Mr.. Hughes had a
game of golf with his secretary, Lau
renee Green and two visitors at Hotel
Stanley. The nominee had planned to
90 to fish fry" yesterday noon, but
decided later to have luncheon at the ho
tel instead.
This afternoon Mr. Hughes will re-
new his campaign trip. Before leaving
the hotel he will make a short address
from the porch. He will tell the guests
he has been exceptionally well pleased
with this quiet mountain resort and that
he feels prepared for two months siren
uous campaigning ahead of him. From
Estes Park he will motor to Loveland,
thirty-fve miles away, where he viii
speak at the county fair. He will then
go TO Denver, leaving that city at .
o'clock that night for Topeka. Kan.
One subject being discussed by the
campaign party is the proba bility of
railroad strike Sept 4. Mr. Hughes is
giving the matter no cognizance person
ally There was some talk Tuesday to
the effect that the party would 90 direct
from St Louis to New York, eliminating
the swing into Kentucky
There appeared to be little likelihood
yesterday, however, of any change in
itinerary. Ii a strike is called at !
o'clock Sept 4. and no change Is made
in the schedule. the Hughes train will
be about fifty miles outside Nashville.

in keeping peace with the nations until
words have ceased to be effective and
peace can no longer be honora ably main

the most of lit"
The unfortunate condition of other
nations has a bearing upon the prosper

but has conduced TO Ear prosperity only
because we have not become involved in
the present war.
IL we nad become engaged IN TINS war,
our condition would have become more
or less that of the nations of Europe.
The one man who has kept us out is the
president. No one will deny this fact,
but former justice OF the supreme court
of the United States is announcing
throughout the country that he is panied
and Inundated at the methods which
have been pursued in order to keep us at
peace.

should have been resorted to, and that
this administration has been faithless to

Summer Toys.

joys of the good old summertime
I'm quite convinced are many,
And they are found in every cline,
But still there are not any
Which can compare with that delight
Which fills our hearts with rapture,
When, chasing skeeters through the night
At last we make a capture.
We hear these insects buzzing round
We feel their keen attention,
And Just how we our views eXpound
'Twould not be wise to mention;
But now and then we see a pest
And raise one hand and swat him
All but that moments happiest
When we know we have got him.

HELP EUROPE ON
THANKSGIVING DAY
This Is Presidents Message to
Prosperous America

Washington, Nov. 17.-President
wilson today formally by proclama-
ton designated Thursday, November
80, as Thanksgiving day.
Here follows the presidents proc

1T 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
lngs and mercies to us, and the ma
ton. The year that has elapsed
since we last observed our day of
Thanksgiving has been rich in bless
ings to us, as a people, but the whole
face of the world has been darkened
by war. In the midst of our peace
and happiness, our thoughts dwell
with painful disquiet upon the strug-
giles and sufferings 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 of their
pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, T, Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States
of America do appoint Thursday, the
3Oth of November as a day of ma
urge and advise the people to resort
to their usual places of worship on
that day to render thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings of peace and
unbroken prosperity, which He has
bestowed upon our beloved country in
such unstinted measure. And I also
urge and suggest our duty, in this,
our day Of peace and abundance, to
think In deep sympathy of the strick-
en- peoples of the world upon whom
the curse and terror of war has so
pitilessly fallen and to contribute out
! of our abundant means to the relief
OF their suffering.
Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
| present struggle Of the nations than
! by contributing out of their abund-
ance 10 the relief of the suffering
| winch war has brought in it's train.

of the United States to be affixed.
