THURSDAY, NOV. e.,
IS THANKSGIVING DAY.
Governor Officially Sets That
Date as a Holiday in
Texas.

Austin, Tex Governor Hobby Fri
day issued a proclamation proclaiming
Thursday, Nov. q, as Thanksgiving
Day, which is to be holiday in the
state of Texas. The proclamation fol.
lows:
"As we near the end Of another year
we are reminded of the many and
varied blessings which have been be-
slowed upon us by God OF tender
mercies and great compassion. 1t is
appropriate and proper that we pause
for brief time and render unto God
our homage and give expression to
our deep gratitude and the great debt
which we owe to him from whom come
all our happiness and all our blessings
THE year though still within the
shadow of the earth's greatest tragedy
has been UNNECESSARILY prosperous for
the people of Texas. We have been
spared the pain Of pestilenCe. We
have, with few exceptions, escaped
calamity and disaster The field has
responded, if not bountifully, at least
sufficiently, to the labors OF the hus
bandman, and mankind has been re-
warded for his toll.
There has been relief from mar
tial conflict throughout our land. We
have enjoyed the ties OF friendship
and our daily occupations, ii not free
of strife and contentious, evidence the
composing influence Of justice and
right-dealing among men, from which
eventually socia, and economic peace
must flow. There is much to rejoice
US in the contemplation of our bless
ings, and no cloud, from which brave
should shrink or cover, obscures the
dawning of the worlds new day
Wherefore, | recommend that
Thursday, Nov. 81, be observed as a
day of thanksgiving and reverent med
itation and homage to the God Of the
universe. On this day let us suspend
all secular work and employment, and
let us assemble in our accustomed
places of worship and with songs Of
praise and prayers give thanks to our
Heavenly Father for all that he has
done for us.
Let us be reminded that in the
midst of our prosperity there are al
ways unfortunates about us upon
whom affliction and sorrow have laid
the bhghting touch and who are de-
pendent upon our charity for the lit
tie comfort they may CLEAN from life.
Out of our multitude of blessings let
us give freely to those who are in
need.
Therefore, l. W. P Hobby, COVER
nor of Texas, do proclaim that Thurs,
day, Nov. 81, 1919, shall be holiday
in the state of Texas, and recommend
that all officials and employees of the
state, as well as all the people, sus-
pend their labors on that day, except
where such labor is necessary for the
health of the public, the protection of
life or preservation of property"

DAY OF UNIVERSAL PRAISE
For All Its Blessings the Nation Lifts
It's Hands to the Lord In
Grateful Thanks.

Such sentiment as Is aroused by the
great day whose yearly coming sounds
the note of praise for multimillion
souls. could not be set to poets verse
or framed in choral chant. Deep down
where underlying are the sentiments
that sanctify, reside the feelings CEN
tering in the day whose glad advent
is tuned to thoughts of peace and
praise to the one above from whose
wide-open hands bestowments come,
such as have never yet been known to
churches at the usual hour the wor-
shippers will pour and from their doors,
when comes the end of praise and
song, will pass those worshipers again,
with loftier views and freer minds and
with their souls tuned to the Senti-
ments that are expressed from all the
pulpits of the nation on the day on
which the people offer their thanks
to God.
For all the blessings to the land,
this day the nation lifts it's hands in
humble praise; for all the blessings
TO the homes the land lifts up its eyes
to God in gratitude; for all the signal
signs Of Gods goodwill the land will
give its praise in thought, in word, in
act. Although the curtain of the flu
ture falls across sthe ViStas and the
prospect hides, no one has fear the
land will not be free from all the
harsh disorders of the earth, and saved
to sanctify the world anew to the
pleasant things of peace and lasting
joy. For the bright prospect of the
nations use in the fast-crowding years
to come, the people give their praise
and in their prayers they lift their
thoughts with faith TO the Lord, who
says in perfect peace he keeps the
ones whose thoughts and hearts are
stayed on him. For all his ways are
pleasantness, his paths are peace, the
psalmiSt says.
So for its cheer, for its gift of peace,
so for the record of blessings felt and
those in prospect yet, the people give
their heartfelt thanks. making this day
that sees other nations wrecked by the
battles effect, day peculiar for its
cause for praise. And thus, though
sobered, will the cheer abound in
myriad hearts on this great day for
praise and giving thanks.

BRITISH ARMY DID MORE
THAN FIGHT IN LATE WAR

London. 1.-The British army was do
ing something other than fighting in
the last year of the war, according to
the army agricultural committee re-
port made public this week. 1t culti-
waited 6,658 acres of land in the coun-
try occupied by the home forces alone
and made a profit of about $50 an
acre.
In France thousands of acres were
cultivated by the soldiers and Vege-
tables worth no less than $4,000, 600
were produced.
BY irrigation the army in Mesopo-
tamia became self-supporting so far
as vegetables were concerned and the
grain crop was valued at $4,000, 900.
The Saloniki army also was busy
cultivating the soil back of its lines,
and in addition to harvesting crops
worth some 100000 saved $4,000 tons
of ships which would otherwise have
been used to carry supplies to that
far off front.
