A WORLDS THANKSGIVING

One week from today will ccu the
greatest celebration OF Thanksgiving
Day that has ever occurred in the
world. 1t will not be confined TO the
descendants of the Pilgrims, either

Americans are, and they are almost
everywhere, the day will be observed

fitting time to give thanks for peace
today, and the promise OF no more

 Rogers during his residence in the country has been in nearly every camp of the north, landing in Alas ka during the early Nome days. For the past few years he has made Fairbanks his headquarters.
