The proclamation, fixing Thursday,

It has long been the honored Gus
tom Of our people to turn in the fruit
full Autumn Of the year in praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His
many blessings and mercies to US a.
nation. That custom we can fol-
low now even in the midst Of the trag-
edy of a world shaken by war and I'm
measurable disaster, in the midst OF
sorrow and great peril. because even
amidst the darkness that has gather
ed about us, we can see the great
blessings God has bestowed upon US.
blessings that are better than mere
peace of mind and prosperity Of en-
terprise.
We have been given the opportunity
to serve mankind as we once served
ourselves in the great day of our Dec
laration of Independence by taking up
arms against tyranny that threaten
ed to master and debase men every
where and joining with other free peo-
pies in demanding for all the nations
of the world what we then demanded
and obtained for ourselves. In this
day of the revelation Of our duty not
only to defend our own rights as ma
ton. but to defend also the rights Of
free men throughout the world, there
has been vouchsafed US in full and In
spring measure the resolution and
spirit Of united action.
We have been brought to one mind
and purpose. A new vigor Of common
counsel and common action has been
revealed in US. We should especial
ly thank God that in such circum-
stances, in the midst Of the greatest
enterprise the spirits Of men have ever
entered upon, we have. II we but OBJ
serve a reasonable and practicable
economy, abundance with which to
supply the needs Of those associated
with US as we'll as our own. A new
light shines about US. The great
duties of a day awaken q new and
greater national spirit In US. We shall
never again be divided or wonder what
stuff We are made of.
And while we render thanks for
these things let US pray Almighty God
that in all humbleness of spirit we
may look always to Him for guidance;
that We may be kept constant in the
spirit and purpose Of service: that by
His grace our minds may be directed
and our hands strengthened; and that
in His good time liberty and security
and peace and the comradeship Of a
common Justice may be vouchsafed al
the nations Of the earth.
Wherefore. !, Woodrow Wilson.
President Of the United States Of Am.

Chester Merrill was lonesome
that was, in fact, his normal. condi-
ton of late. He had left little cOun-
try village to better himself amid the
larger opportunities of a great city
and had succeeded. There was no
complaint on the score of income
and progress. His success, however,
was the result of close application to
his Office duties and studiOus hours
in his solitary room.
There was little adornment to the
place, for he had followed simple
tastes since coming to the city, In
one window there was a flower box,
thickly planted with morning glories.
In the other was a tiny cage and a
canary bird. The former occupant
of the room, when leaving for a dis
tant city the day that Chester ar
rived, stated his inability to care for
the bird. Would the newcomer accept
it at the original cost of the cage
alone? Merrill consented. 1t had
been quite some company. Every
morning it tuned its mellow song to
notes of harmony. Every evening it
chirped him a genuine welcome.
Just across the court, 20 feet away,
Merrill had discovered one day lady
with little girl on her lap. They
were listening to the singing of the
bird and the little one was clapping
her tiny hands in delight and reach
ing toward the canary as if eager to
possess and pet it.
Merrill went down to see his land
lady after minute or two of refec-
ton. He saw a way of completing
satisfactorily a plan that had lin
gered in his mind for several days.
Mrs. Agnew," he spoke to his
landlady, there is a young lady and
