In Memoriam

In sad, but loving, remembrance
of our dear mother. Theresa Bell
who departed this life two years ago
today.
Oh, mother. could you speak to us,
And could you live again,
Our aching hearts would then be
healed,
But this we wish in vain.
Our hearts are sad and lonely
Since God called you away;
Our home is dark and dreary,
We miss you day by day.
We miss that kind and willing hand
We miss you every way.

President Wilson'S Thanksgiving
Proclamation.
A PROCLAMATION.

at has been our custom to turn in
the autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for His
many blessings and mercies to US as
nation. This year we have special and
moving cause to be grateful and to re-
ioice. God has, in His good pleasure,
given US peace. 1t has not come as
mere cessation of arms, mere relief
from the strain and tragedy of war.
1t has come as great triumph of
right. Complete victory has brought
US, not peace alone, but the confident
promise of new day as well, in which
Justice shall replace force and jealous
intrigue among the nations. Our gal
liant armies have participated in q tri-
umph which is not marred or strained
by another purpose of selfish aggres-
sion. In q righteous cause they have
won immortal glory, and have nobly
served their nation in serving mankind.
God has indeed been gracious. We
have cause for such rejoicing as revives
and strengthens in US all the best ira
ditions of our national history. A new
day shines about Us, in which our hearts
take new courage and look forward
with new hope to new and greater du
ties.
sWhile we render thanks for thes'
things, let Us not forget to seek thu
Divine guidance in the performance o
those duties, and Divine mercy ant
forgiveness for all errors of act or pur
pose, and pray that in all that we d
we shall strengthen the ties of friend
ship and mutual respect upon which W
must assist to build the new structur
of peace and good will among nations.
Therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States Q
IAmerica, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-eighth day of Noven
Der, next, as a day of thanksgivin
and prayer. and invite the peopl
through the land to cease upon ths

H. G. Goodwin, Parish Food Admins
traitor, Colfax, La.
Dear Mr.. Goodwyn-Our chief,
Herbert Hoover, is easing up on
restrictions as much as possible.
A year ago we said that Food
Would Win The War;" Food
has won the war, and we should
remember that t. ere are 100, O0O,
600 people who are compelled to
look largely upon America to
prevent starvation during the
coming year. Under these con-
ditions, it is urgent that every
Food Administrator should use
every influence at his command
to see that there is no waste
whatsoever, of anything which
can be used to feed the starving
world.
We desire to eliminate, as fal
possible, all restrictions. but now
appeal to the people of every par
ish in the state to do all that Lief
in their power to materially as
sist us in showing that Americs
desires to be the friend OF tn
world and to set an example O.
self-sacrifice and a heartfelt de
sire to see peace. happiness ant
prosperity restored.
Please convey this message t
your people. and ask them t
cheerfully unite with US in elm
mating waste and doing all i
our power for suffering human
ity.
Very truly yours,

Homecoming of Soldiers Months Away.
New York, Nov. II. -Ameri-
can soldiers in France will be
brought home as fast as condi-
tons in Europe permit, Secre-
tary Daniels. said last night in
addressing a meeting of the
United War Work Campaign in
Carnegie Hall. If internal trou-
bles in Germany do not prevent
the return of the troops, the Sec
rotary said, their return will be
limited only by the number Of
ships available for the work.
Mr.. Daniels. however, warned
his audience that at the earliest
it would be some months before
the soldiers would reach Ameri
can shores. He pointed to thu
fact that working with all haste
possible, it took eighteen month";
to transport the men to France.
