CQVOR PROCLAIMS
THANKSGIVING DAY
November 29th Designated rs Day Of
Thanks BY Governor
NOrbeck

Thanksgiving day, regularly re-
curing in the cycle of human events
returns our people to the earlier
days of our national life. Conditions
now existing parallel those surround
ing our forefathers. Again our Unit
ed States are In battle for the cause
of humanity; once more we have
taken arms against the oppressor-
the i~nvader-and anew we struggle
in a war-torn world for right and
truth and liberty.
thanksgiving presupposes joy,
happiness, ever exaltation. In the
minds ef some there MAY be this
year large questions as to whether
the world situation warrants the ex-
preston of such sentiments. How
ever, there is, in truth, a wealth of
P~rovidential benefits which call forth
from us testimony OF profound graft
tude. In a material way the earth
has produced abundantly for us. The
Yields have been large. the returns
heavy, and our farms and ranches
have undergone added development
and experienced increased prosperity.
In the business world, conditions
have been generally satisfactory and
a wider scope and greater incentive
given to both investment and labor.
Further, SURPRISING all material
benefits, however DESTROYS and essen
tial they may be, other blessings.
more elevating and inspiring. and
immortal. are ours. And in times
like these we of America acknowl-
edge our gratitude that amid the
storm and desolation of war we are
a loyal united people; that we are
possessed OF high ideals and ii nee
essary are ready to make ever the
supreme sacrifice to sustain them
that we hold sacred the tenets of
true civilization; that our great re-
public is builded upon the very prin-
ciples which make a glorious individ-
dual and national life, and finally,
Ithat the spirit of 1875 can never die.
'Let us be grateful also for the
urgent need for humanitarian SER
vice in which this tragedy of conflict
has resulted. II is the opportunity
of the ages, for not only do we serve
ourselves. but the world as we'll.
Therefore, Peter Norbeck,
under authority vested in me by law
and In harmony with the proclama-
ton of the President of the United
States, do hereby designate Thurs
day, November 20, 1917, as Thanks
giving day throughout the state of
South Dakota, on which day in our
churches and our homes we may
render grateful thanks to God for
His watchful care and manifold
blessings"

NOVBER SUNSHINE
WORTH MILLIONS
Three Weeks Of Good Weather Sees
Corn Picked, Hay Stacked and
Feed Gathered Up

Three weeks Of splendid fall wealth
err in November has been worth mil
lions OF dollars to central South Da-
kota, and removed the threatened
danger of feed shortage predicted
during the premature winter weather
Of October.
While IL is probably q fact that
there Is more live stock in Hand
county this fall than ever before, II is
likewise a fact that there is more feed
gathered. The county is dotted with
hay and straw stacks. like collections
of horses seen at a distance and the
greatest acreage OF corn In the coun-
tvs history furnishes both grain and
fodder. To this may be added the
further fact that each year sees an
increase of barns, shedding, corralls,
etc; for better potection of live
stock.
All together this affords opportun-
ity of increase in county production,
which will rapidly convince the
people Of this locality first, and 9TH
ers later. that there is neither sense
or reason for 5000 land in southeas-
tern South Dakota, Nebraska. western
Iowa, western Minnesota, and $40 to
$50 land in Hand county.

The angel OF death came to the bed
side of John w. Heltibridle Saturday,
despite all the efforts of mankind to
prolong his life. After an illness OF
several weeks earlier in the summer
he had got up and about again, but
without his accustomed health. He
had the misfortune to fall a few
weeks ago and break a leg. While
confined by this accident, and still
in a weakened condition, pneumonia
set in and on Saturday claimed him
as a victim.

man, a good business man, a kind,
thoughtful and helpful neighbor, His
death is a community loss.
The funeral was held Monday, with
sevices at the M. e. church by the
pastor Rev. Tarleton, who paid an
eloquent tribute to the dead in a
beautiful character sketch of his
friend and ~co-worker.. Large delega-
tons of Masons and Eastern Stars
attended the funeral, marched to the
G. A, II. cemetery, and administered
the Masonic burial rites of a Master
Workman.
The board of County Commission
ers of which Mr.. Heltibridle was
chairman, attended the funeral as an
official body. The church building
was not large enough to hold the
people In attendance from city. coun-
ty and neighboring towns. Many
beautiful floral offerings decorated
the casket.
Mr.. Heltibridle was born in Union.
town, Maryland, in 1856, and was 81
years old. He immigrated to Iowa
when 81 years Of age. and was mar
ried there in 1851 to Miss Alma Diel

migration to South Dakota, locating

years ago. Mr.. Heltibridle Is suryiv-
ed by his wife, and the above sor

ing the last hours. Three brothers
and three sisters of his own family
also survive him. One brother, Rev

and gives the students and faculty a
good chance to get better acquainted
The Gypsy Band had gathered its
recruits from the student body. six

members and their families. even to
the TIMES tots, and from the former
students and the visitors who had
come to enter into the fun by dressing
as Gypsies.
After the browning of the queen In

After the return to the campus, an
hour was spent enjoying gypsy sports

At the end Of the game the Gypsies
again assembled in the auditorium

~THIRTY-SIxTH YEAR
RESTRICT ALIENS
PRESIDENTS ORDER
Drastic Regulations Prohibit Move
ments Of German Enemies About
This Country

Washington, Nov. 19.-Drastic reg
ulati0ns to enable government
agents to keep the thousands of Ger
mans in the United States under con-
slant surveillance and curb the trea-
sonable activities of a few, will be
promulgated soon by Attorney Gener-
al Gregory to make effective a proc
lamation issued today by President
Wilson imposing restrictions on free
movement of alien enemies. BY
mean Of the new regulations the de-
partment Of justice expects to be able
to round up Germans who are believ-
ed to have directed the organized
campaigns of sabotage and propagan-
da to embarass the United States in
the war.
Unnatuarlized male Germans above
the age of IA are required to register
with the police or some other author
ity to be designated by the attorney
general. They must report periodi-
cally to some officials II the attorney
general so orders. They may not
travel in the United States without a
permit and may not approach within
100 yards of any wharf, pier, dock,
warehouse, shed, elevator. storage
house, railroad terminal or other es-
adjustment which the attorney gen
eral may designate. They are for
hidden to travel on the ocean, Great
Lakes. or any river or waterway,
either on public vessels or in their
own private boats. They may not
enter or reside in the District of Col
umbia or the Panama Canal zone and
arc not permitted to make aerial
flights in balloons or airplanes.
Effective Immediately
The new order applies to Germans
but does not affect subjects of Aus
tria. Turkey and Bulgaria. 1t is eff
fective Immediately but the registra-
tion and licensing for travelling will
not be put into full effect for a few
days.
In administering the new regula-
tions, the department of justice will
abide by the governments establish
ed policy of annoying la~w-abiding
Germans as little as possible.
Authority In Police
The registration probably will be
made by local police in cities and
towns, altho department of justice
officials today had not decided finally
on whom this task should be impos-
ed. The same authority probably will
be designated to receive periodical re-
ports from alien enemies and to issue
permits for travel.
Will Intern Resisters
Germans without evil intent, Off
Gals believe, will comply willingly
with the terms of the new restric-
tions in the knowledge that similar
restrictions are imposed on alien
enemies by other warning nations.
Those who disobey, however, will
place themselves open to suspicion
and the government will exercise it's
privilege of informing for the war
any who fail to comply voluntarily.
