MANY THINGS TO
BE THANKFUL FOR
Minnesotans Have Been
Specially Favored
CONDITIONS THE BEST
Thanksgiving Messages From
Gopher Officials To People
Northwest
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

st. Paul, November 3o.-State Of
flcials are unanimous in their opin-
ion that the people of Minnesota
have MAN. things to be thankful for
on this day of national Thanksgiving.
Although many of the people of
the state perhaps did not gain ma
terially in financial way the past
year, the state did not suffer from
any epidemics, or needs of foodstuffs,
and no general suffering was report
ed.
The conditions in the state as
compared with those visited upon
peoples of other countries and states,
are of the very best, and despite a
some what financial depression
throughout the. country, which ma
turally reflected in the state, Min
nesota shows steady growth both
in industry and agriculture. 40
Governor J. A. o. Preus said that
although the people of Minnesota
had their trails and tribulations, the
bounties and blessings bestowed up
on the state were so much greater
that the state can be truly thankful.
at is true that many of the peo-
pie of the state have not enjoyed the
same return, in dollars and cents,
for their labor as they have in some
years past,," Governor Preus said,
But compared to the people in some
other parts of the world, we are very
happily situated.
Surplus of Products ...
Our difficulty has not been any
shortage of food or any other of the
necessities of life. 1t has rather been
that there has been such surplus of
some products that prices have gone
down below a profitable level, that
we have not had adequate facilities
for transportation of our products to
market, and that some of the Euro
pean countries which were. in the
habit of buying from US before the
war. are now too poor to buy any
thing from us. l1..'.
1--WE have gone through the year
without any epidemic of disease, con
fagration, flood, tornado or other
serious calamity. We have enjoyed
the privileges of free government,
good schools, freedom of speech and
religious worship and lot of other
privileges which we are so accustom-
ed to enjoying that we forget to be
grateful for them"

cabinet ministers executed here last
Tuesday went colIrageously, even
jauntiIy to their death.
Theotokis, Balta2zis and General
Had janestis wore their monocles as
they took their places in the little
line before the firing squads. All re
moved their hats except GounariS
who stood with his hands in his
pockets.
Stratos smilingly lit a cigarette
as he took his place. Then he hand =
ed the silver case TO the officer in
charge of the execution as sign OF
his appreciation of the laters cour
tssy and tact in the exercise OF a
painful duty.
Theotohs and BaItazzis chatted
gaily with Gounaris as the brief fin
al arrangements were made. Pro

al Hadianestis wore his usual air of
nervousness and restlessness.
