A PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING THURSDAY, NOVEMBER "A, 1921 AS THANKSGIV-
 ING DAY

In accordance with the cld- est of American customs, and obedient to the prompt ing of our hearts. we pause once more at the close of autumn to publicly express, through observance of an- ther Thanksgiving Day, our sincere gratitude to Almigh- ty God for His watchful care and continued blessings.
 It may be that during the past year we have allowed our minds to dwell on condi- tions calculated to disturb our peace and at. times to cause us to grow pessimistic. Yet only to the careless thinker will it appear that we have small reason to be thankful at this time. As a nation we cannot find any where on this globe a people who have been more favored
 with the good things of life,
 or who are more happily sit uated. Compared with the
 lot of other nations, we can
 truthfully say that we have Known no want or suffering. Our harvests have been a.
 bundant, and in a worldwide stagnation of business we have experienced less incon- venience and distress than any country.
 We need look no farther in search of cause for thanks giving than to visualize the little band of Pilgrims fac ing the rigors.of a New Eng land winter and struggling for their lives against hostile Indians, and in contrast to picture the mighty Republic which they founded and in which we enjoy the privile- ges and responsibilities of citizenship. If the fathers felt bound under such cir cumstances to acknowledge the blessing of a Divine Pro violence, how much more re- verently should we, who en-
 joy to the full the countless advantage of modern civili- zation, thank the Giver of all good.
 We have great cause for thankfulness that America has taken the lead among the nations of the world in an effort to lessen the bur- den of armaments, and thro- ugh mutual understanding to remove the menace of flu ture wars. In our acknow- ledgement of Gods guidance in the past, let us not fail to offer prayer for His blessing on and guidance in the h. ternational Conference at Washington, to the end that the splendid program pro- posed by our government may be accepted not only in principle but also in fact by the other powers of t h e world.
 Arizona has abundant cause for thanksgiving. Dur ing the past year we have been spared calamity. Peace has prevailed within our borders, and industrial dis turbance has not arisen to interfere with the orderly development of our rescor- ces. The long and trying period of drouth which prov ed as serious a factor in the existence of our livestock industry has very happily been ended and business con ditions generally indicate that the gradual return of prosperity is well under way. Our state has keen singular ly favored in the matter of natural resources, to the full development of which we press forward with confi- dence and enthusiasm, know ing that our future import ance as a state is definite and certain.

Be known by another name to me.
For early school iavs in my Emory
Come fondly back when thy d. .ar name
hear,
Which like a strain of music greets my
ear.
Again a happy boy seem to be,
And see in fancy scenes | used to see,
Before time made thy landmarks dis
appear.
Changed are thy scenes from what
thev were of yore;
Thy streets look strange when now
they meet my view;
The old schoel-house stands on the hill
no more,
And High Street is Wisconsin Avenue.
Long hast thou been of Washington
part.
Best thou wilt e'er be Georgetown to
my heart.

| Mr.. EDITOR Il read with consider; ,
Bile interesr column and halt OF per

Inasmuch as the editor of the Hyatts-
Vile independent does not hold, and. |
| am Informed, is not seeking public office
am not able to comprehend how the
question of his sincerity is one in which
he pub 'ic is concerned, but the TRUTH
of the statements appearing In his pa
per from time to time regarding the
Bowie rrcetrack gambling plant, is GER
tainly one which goes to the integity
and impartiality of our county govern
ment, and, is therefore vital matter to
over thirty-fve thou2and residents OF
Prince Georges ssunty.
Inasmuch as Mr.. M. H. Magruder,
the writer of the article in question and
President of the Association conducting
the Bowie horse racing plant, appears
anxions that the people have ALL the
facts regarding the private lite and per
sonal character of the editor of The
Observation-Disclosures, and IN making
Ills attack seems to have had ready &C.
cess 10 the files. books and papers OF
the Bowie racetrack, he should be able
to throw great deal of light on phase
of the situation in which the public Is
in 'erested--whetner or not prominent
politicians in both p rites in the coun
tv are benefciaries of the Bowie race
track interests-and he can do so by az
swering the following questions
I. The full name andadddress OF each
dir ector of the Bowie race track.
2. Which of these plrectors holds an
elective or appointive office In the coun'
s.?
3 What is the p rty affiliation of
Zach director?
4. What compensation is received by
each director from the racetrack people.
and what duties do each perform
:. What other peasons are carried on
the payroll of the Bo lie racetrack who
peiform no duty at a ! ?
A direct answer to these questions,
nd it certainly cannot he said that the
D bic is not entitled TO have them and
swered, would for al time settle the
persistent rumor that there are about
twenty directors of this track, many OF
whom are prominent politicians i'll both

several holding important county Offices
