POLISH PARLIAMENT CANNOT
LOCATE POLISH CITY.

Warsaw (By l. ]. P. B.)-That a
government should declare that II
cannot locate one Of the cities in its
realm has occurred for the first time
in the history Of mankind, in Poland.
This novel explanation was made
by the pianola government in connec-
tion with the case Of the Jewish
teacher, Millberg, in the city Of Lu-
bitz, on the German border. Polish
Gendarmes accused this Jew Of Civ.
ing signals to the Germans, because
his young pupils were caught playing
with the national flag. He was se-
verely beaten and held for a few
days. Shortly afterward the Min
lister Of War was interpolated about
his case by the Jewish Club in the
Polish Parliament. Thereupon the
worthy official replied that he does
not know where this city Of Lubitz
may possibly be located.
Recently the Club presented to the
Minister Of War documents to prove
that the city Of Lubitz does exist and
that one Of its Jewish citizens by the
name Of Millberg was arrested and
beaten without cause.

Proclamation

Executive Chambers, Pierre. s. ID
The cycle of seasons has again
brought to us that time of year
when the people of South Dakota,
mindful of their dependence upon
the bounty of God, should seek oc-
casion to express their gratitude
for the blessings whicl, have been
received without number
Few years i'm our history have af-
torded greater cause for Thanksgiv-
ing. and it seems fitting that we
should devote at least one day to the
contemplation of our situation and
with grateful hearts make proper
acknowledgement to Almighty God
for his loving kindness.
1t happens that the year 1920 is
historically doubly significant in
that exactly three hundred years ago
the 30th of July. last, there was
convened i'll jamestown the first
legislative assembly to meet on
American soil. Futher, it is an in
teresting coincidence that November
11th not only is the memorable day
of the beginning of the Armistice
that closed the great world war.b
It is as we'll the three hundredth
anniversary of the signing of that
remarkable "Mayfower Compact"
by which the Pilgrim Fathers poll.
tically bound themselves together,
and first established the principles
of civil and religious liberty and put
into practice genuine democracy.
The President of the United Stat

more than half a century, has dasip-
mated Thursday, November 25,1920,

rejoice that these institutions al
