Gently been giving him, he thought with
a sigh Canned beans, bakers bread and
pie, delcatessen salad--he was deathly

Things had not always been thus.
When they lived in the little suburban
house in their honeymoon days he had
had real home. with a wife In Il to
greet him at night with n well-cooked
meal. Bnt that sad year which had ended
in the bitter disappointment of empty
arms for Kitty and an aching sense OF
loss for Nat, when the baby welcomed
with such Joy had proved sickly and
after a few months had gone, had
changed everything.
Kitty had had a long Illness and the
furniture had been stored while she was
at the sanatorium. When she was well

involved In the situation.
Other commissioners said it was easy
to understand why some holiday makers
might have waxed noisy after midnight
last summer when Atlantic City was
not yet dry" town. but why anybody
should want to hang around a cabaret
and yell until daybreak now with federal
officials maintaining that there are no
"lcaks," let alone "wet' spots, they
are at loss to know.

that John Barlcycorn has annexed At

City pastors contributed to the CON

10 the Citizens of Belfast

The members of the Frank D. Hazeltine
rost OF the American Legion wish to ex-
press their most sincere appreciation to
those OF Belfast and vicinity who con-
eriouted in any way to the success of their
Armlstlce Day celebration. In every re-
spect the day exceeded the hope and ex-
pectatlons of the committee in charge of
The program. Such unqualified success
was made possible only by the whole
hearted cooperation of all the citizens of
belfast and vicinity.
The Post wishes to thank especiallv
those whose direct assistance made it
possible to carry out so complete a pro-
gram for the day.
Appreciation is herewith extended to
merchants of Belfast for their financial
assistance; to the principal of the High
school and the members of the foot ball
team for their splendid cooperation and
sportsmanship; to the women of Belfast
who made it possible to serve the dinner
at Memorial Hall; to the Thomas II. Mar
shall Post of the G. A. R. for the use of
Memorial Hall; to the young ladies' who
served as mattresses at the dinner and
who had charge of the tag day; to The
Republican journal for valuable space in
its paper; to the local representatives of
daily papers for the publicity given in
their columns; to the Mayor, City Gov
ernment and Chamber of Commerce in
recognizing the day and making it DOS
slble to give the day proper observance;
to the officers and men of Co. f.; to the
chief of police and assistants; to the
members of the Red Cross; to the G. A.
K, Sons of Veterans, Boy Scouts, teach
ers and pupils of the public schools, city
government, fire department, and to every
one who assisted in the parade or con-
trlbuted in any way to make the day a
success.
While it is not known what the pro-
ceeds of the day will be, it is believed
that sufficient sum will be realized to
pay for the present equipment of the
club room. While it is the purpose Of
the Post to enlarge its quarters when
possible and to purchase additional equip
ment from time to time, it is not intended
to call upon the people continually for
assistance.
The American Legion believes that
November eleventh should be recognized
as national holiday, and to this end it
will use it's best efforts to have it so OBJ
served. The American Legion does not
claim to have a monopoly of patriotism,
but it does believe that it should take the
initiative in seeing that proper observ-
ance is made of this day which was made
possible only by the glorious efforts of the
American people.

The Land of Flowers.

Frederick W. Brown of this city, who
with Mrs. Brown is spending the winter
in Saint Cloud, Fla, in personal letter
says:
This is the land of sunshine and flowers
but of very little else which particularly
enhances the comfort and pleasure of
man. There are thousands of acres lying
all about here that are unused and WORTH
less. No one as yet has found any profit
able use for it. The soil is very fine
sand which looks and handles like ashes.
1t bleaches to a grayish white on top,
where exposed to the sun. 1t is easily
worked, but is quite hard to clear where
the palmetto is we'll intrenched. By dig
ginR down three or four feet one finds
water, and the soil grows hot foot or so
down. In most places 1t is necessary to
put on fertilizer little at time and
quite often. You must have water on it
also and there is some need of spraying.
After these little details have been at
tended to you may hope for results if it
is not too hot The cattle look fairly
we'll and are of good grade stock. They
are not very fat and are sometimes in
flcted by ticks, which are gotten rid of
by driving the cattle through dipping
tank which is furnished by the State.
All the cats and dogs are as thin wea-
sells. The "niggers" are, as a rule, quite
plump, but l have seen very few fat
white people. There are great many
chickens and they look as though they
are we'll fed, in spite of the fact that
chicken feed is $3.50 per hundred and
some of it is sunflower seed. Skunks are
very troublesome and visit the hen
houses nearly every night. Robert F.
Russ who, you know, is here from Bel
fast, is very enthusiastic about the ex-
tent and variety of the crops here, but l
have not yet seen anything but fruits
and flowers, and they will not grow with
out great deal of tending.
This is an o Id mans paradise, in so far
as it promotes longevity. l have no
doubt many lengthen their lives by COM
ing here. Veterans of the Civil War are
here from nearly every State in the
Union. The youngest are rs and many
are over ninety, still hale and hearty.
There are about A, GOO here now and more
are coming every day. They have fine
G. A. R. building and run things in good
shape. They have many State meetings,
and there was very interesting New
England meeting few days ago.
A very good bungalow can be bought
for So, 500, others from S400 and up. The
race riots, of which you no doubt have
read, were in the next county only 28
miles from here and no one knows, or at
least will admit that he knows, any
details of the affair. This is inconceiv-
able to a northern mind, accustomed to
pitiless publicity in local anu State mat
ters.

dances, are treat to look upon A bril-
liant lawn fete with banks of flowers and
lights-NeW York City in grand illumlna-
tion and shimmering opalescent scenery
fuifills every expectation. The famous

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
BY THE PRESIDENT

'The season approaches when it be-
hooveS us to turn from the distractions
and prescriptions of our daily life, that
we may contemplate the mercies which
have been vouchsafed to us, and render
heartfelt and unfeigned thanks unto God
for His manifold goodness.
This is an old observance of the
American people, deeply imbedded in our
thought and habit. The burdens and the
stresses of life have their own insistence
I'VE have abundant cause for thanks
giving. The LESSONS of the war are rapidly
heallng. The great army of free men
Whlch America sent to the defence of
liberty, returning to the grateful embrace
OF the nation, has resumed the useful pur.
suits OF peace, as simply and as promptly
as IL rushed to arms in obedience TO the
country's call. The equal justice of our
laws has received steady vindication in
tne support of a law abiding people
against various and sinister attacks,
which have reflected only the baser All
tations OF war, now happily passing.
IN plenty, security and peace, our
vlrtuous and self-reliant people face the
future, Its duties and its opportunities.
May we have vision to discern our duties;
the strength, both of hand and resolve to
discharge them; and the soundness of
heart to realize that the truest opportuni-
ties are those of service.
"ln spirit, then, of devotion and
stewardship, we should give thanksi in our
hearts and dedicate ourselves to the ser
vice of Gods merciful and loving pur-
poses to His children.
Nv Wherefore, l, Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
dent of the United States of America. do
hereby designate Thursday, the Twenty

Thanksgiving and prayer, and call upon
my countrymen to cease from their ordi-
nary tasks and vocations upon that day.
