IS THANKSGIVING DAY
Governor Officially Sets That
Date as q Holiday in
Texas.

Austin. Tex Governor Hobby Fri

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 a God of tender
! mercies and great compassion 1t is
| appropriate and proper that we pause
! for a 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
calamity and disaster. The field has
responded. if not beautifully, 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, if not free
OF strife and contentious, evidence the
composing influence of justice and
right-dealing among men, from which
eventually social 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
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 blighting 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. 27, 1919, shall be a 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 tn
health of the public, the protection

posed to the cold storage bill now

passage would place burdensome re-
strictions upon the produce trade of

siderable part of the day.

1 Or had gone to their homes outside
the city for Thanksgiving holiday, and
besides them she had made few ac-
luaintances in the city, so she could
| think of no one to invite.
| She reflected that there must be
many lonely people in that city who
would gladly share with her the dainty
meal that was now almost ready to
serve Then she thought of the young
| man who lived alone in the suite across
the hall from hers and of whom she
had caught occasional glimpses
through his open door as he bent spec
tacled eyes low over drawing board.
She found herself wondering. as she
had several times before. whether her
studious neighbor was an artist. She
thought he looked too businessike and
practical for that.
lydia smiled and blushed as she re-
called the episode the evening before
when her spilled cranberries had
crunched under the good-sized feet of
this young man, who had come strid-
ing from his apartment while she was
STOPPING in the narrow corridor to re-
place the scattered berries In the pa
Der bag that had turned turtle when
she inserted her latch key. There
had been stammering apologies from
both, and although the young man had
helped to recover the berries, he had
re-entered his apartment so abruptly
that Lydia was puzzled to know wheth-
er he was displeased or embarrassed
by the incident.
Just when Lydja's chicken reached
the right degree of provinces the
young man in the suite across the hall
completed the linking of the last lines
in the plans he was to enter in the
prize competition for design for a
new public building. His deep sigh Of
satisfied relief at the finished task was
followed almost Immediately by the
thought that he was very hungry. He,
TOO, had a fancy for cooking and had
