AS one might expect, the little Greek
girls had beautiful dolls. They were
made of clay and wax and decorated
with bright colors. They had beautiful
garments which could be put on and
taken off at will, and some of them
were made to represent the gods and
heroes so much revered by the people.
They were not stiff creatures, but had
movable limbs.

THANKSGIVING
 PROCLAMATION IS
 ISSUED BY STRONG

The President of the United States ollowing the national custom of more han half century, has designated Thursday, November %, 1917, as l day of thanksgiving and prayer The year now drawing to close | has been fraught with momentous | consequences for this nation. We have entered the Great War in be | half of those principles of liberty | freedom and democracy which have I been so beneficient in the life of oul country; in this our government has to make the world a safe place for the exercise of those immutable prin- ciples of government which, under God, have placed the United States in the front rank of civilized and progressive nations. Our people are being called upon to make great per sonal sacrifices, and the demand for personal service and effort will large ly increase as time passes, but the spirit of unity and unfaltering pur-
 
 to ultimate and triumphant victory
 Now, therefore, I, J. F. A. Strong, Governor of the Territory of Alas ka, do hereby proclaim Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of November, as Thanksgiving Day.
 And while the people of this great Republic are facing tremen- dous responsibilities, and their de- votion to it's institutions is being put to test, and though sorrows manifold may visit us as result of the war, it is most fitting that the people of this Territory should give thanks to Him who doeth all things we'll ; and, blessed with plenty ourselves, let us unite in praise of Almighty God for the many favers that have been vouschafed us as people, while especially remembering those nations with whom our own is al lied and whose people are exhibit ing supre me devotion and making the greatest sacrifices in this strug- gle for humanity and civilization.
 Given under my hand and the seal of the Territory of Alaska, in Ju- neau, the Capital, this twelfth day of November, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred md seventeen, and of the Inde- )endence of the United States the )ne hundred and forty-second.
