NAMES NOVEMBER Is
THANKSGIVING DAY
An Old Observance of American
People Deeply Imbedded in
Thought and Habit.

Washington, Nov. Ia President
Wilson issued tonight his Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation, saying that ''in
plenty and security and peace. our
virtuous- and self reliant people face
the future and setting aside Thurs
day. Nov. 25 for the annual holi-
day. The text follows:
"The season approaches when it
behooves us to turn from the dis
fractions and pre-occupations of our
daily life, that we may contemplate
the mercies which have been vouch-
safed to us and rendear heartfelt
thanks to God for his great good
ness.
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.
1--WE have abundant cause for
Thanksgiving. The lessons of the
war are rapidly healing. The great
army of freedom, which America
sent to the defense of liberty return
ing to the grateful embrace of the
nation has resumed the usual efforts
of peace as simply as it rushed to
arms at the country's call. The equal
justice of our laws received steady
vindication in the support of a law
abiding people against various views
and attacks which have reflected on
ly the baser agitations of war, now
happily ended.
In plenty, security and peace, our
virtuous and self-reliant people face
the future, it's duties and it's oppor-
tunities. May we, have vision to dis
cern our. duties, the strength both
of and resolve to discharge them;
and the goodness of fact that the
truest of opportunities are those OF
service. &
in spirit Of devotion of stew
ardship we should give thanks in our
hearts and dedicate ourselves to the
service of Gods merciful and loving
purposes to his children.
Wherefore, l, Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States, dc
hereby designate Thursday, Nov. 25
1920, as day of thanksgiving and
prayer and I call upon my country
men to cease from their ordinary
tasks and vocations on that day, Civ
ing it up to remembrance of God and
His blessings and their dutiful and
grateful acknowledgment"

Portable schoolhouse at every point in

establishment and every organization of
every kind and description to arrange

be ftxed, and every patron should at
tend and some special program should
be given in order that every individual
may be stimulated to do his best for
the schools, and to formulate new plans
for school betterment, for the remain
der of this session.
In the village and towns and in the
various organizations there should be
formulated a program, and school prob
lens should be discussed, in all of
which the citizens surrounding should
earnestly participate. our schools being
the very basis of our government, and
the perpetul ' of ali our institutions
depending solely upon our diligence in
school matters. 1 am. therefore, issu-
ing this, my proclamation, setting aside
with hope that new life may be in
jected into every school throughout the
entire commonwealth. May our people
meet together and find time to devote
at least one day to this most import

affairs of state"
