Thanksgiving Proclamation
By the President

deep sincerity, give to it due
thought and more especially if we
will compare it with that of any
other community In the world
The year has brought to ou,
people two tragic experiences
which have deeply affected them
One was the death of our beloved
president, Harding, which has been
mourned wherever there is a real
izatloh of the worth of high
ideals, noble purpose and unselfsh-
ness, carried even to the end of SUI
preme sacrifice. His loss recalled the
nation to a less captious and more
charitable attitude, 1t sobered the
whole thought of the country. 4
little later came the unparalleled
disaster to the friendly people of
Japan. This called forth from the
people of the United States dem
onstrations of deep and humane
feeling. 1t was wrought into the
substance of good works. It Gre
ated new evidences of our inter
national friendship which is a
guarantee of world peace. It re-
plenished the charitable impulse
OF the country.
By experiences such as these,
men and nations are tested and
refined. We have been blessed
with much of material prosperity.
We shall be better able to appre-
ciate it if we remember the priva-
tons others have suffered and we
shall be more worthy of it if we
use it for their relief. We will do
we'll then to render thanks for
the good that has come to us and
show by our actions that we have
become stronger, wiser and truer
by the Christening which has been
imposed upon us. We will thus
prepare ourselves for the part we
must take in a world which for
ever needs the full measure of
service. We have been most fav-
ored people. We ought to be the
most generous people. We have
been the most blessed people. We
ought to be the most thankful
people.
Wherefore, /, Calvin Coolidge,
President of the United States, do
hereby fix and designate Thurs
day, the 10Th day of November, as
Thanksgiving Day and recommend
it's general observance throughout
the-land, it is urged that the peo-
pie gathering in their homes and
their usual places of worship give
expression of their gratitude for
the benefits and blessings that a
Gracious Providence has bestowed
upon them and seek the guidance
of Almighty God that they may
deserve a continuance of his ia
vor.

BEAVERS ENTERTAIN
Beavers Building Dam Enter
tain Iron River Folk.

Iron Rivera beaver colony has
been revived just above this city
on the Iron River, and these in
teresting little animals, have
started to construct dams. At
several points along the river at
Mud lake, they have slashed down
timber on both sides of the stream
and erected dams some of the
trees which have been felled mea-
sured eight inches through where
they were cut.
The land where the beavers are
operating is owned by Harry C.
Hall of this city. Several years
ago the little animals became so
numerous, and were destroying so
much timber, that Mr.. Hall ap-
pealed to the conservation COM
mission. Men were sent here and
it was supposed the greater num-
Der were captured and removed to
the state game preserve at Wood
ruff, but from the activity along
the river it appears that they are
more numerous than ever.
Mr.. Hall does not desire to- dis
turb them this winter as their re-
moval might exterminate the col
ony, but in the spring he will ask
the commission to remove them to
the state preserve. Their opera
tons have attracted the attention
of many people and the site of
their activities has been visited by
large numbers of curious folks
this fall.-Iron River Monitor.
