FOuF Days to Butte
One of the minister's recollections is
OF a f%our-day trip made by horse from
Sun River to Butte to attend a church
conference. Recently he made this same
trip to Butte by airplane in 1 hour
and 80 minutes. The plane in which the
trip was made crashed at Pocatello; 70
the Rev. Mr.. Little still believes the horse
and buggy is the safest though the
slowest means of travel.
In appearance the pastor is a typical
pioneer. He is tall and vigorous despite
his years. His shoulders are broad, his
frame is sturdy and his eyes are keen.

Joining with the president of the
United States, Governor ]. E. Erick-
son has issued the annual prOcIama-
ton, designating Thursday, November
20, as Thanksgiving day, and urging
its observance in accord with the Gus
tom established by the founders of the
nation.
Governor Erickson's proclamation in
full follows:
The Proclamation
Once again we approach the season
when the American people. forgetting
any difference that may have existed
among them, are wont to devote one
special day to their expression OF graft.
tude to q higher power for benefits that
have come to them during the IL months
past. This custom. instituted so long
ago, becomes nearer and dearer to our
people as the years go by.
Montana folks have much for which
to be grateful as they neal the close OF
the year. They have observed the con-
tinued growth OF the state and it's insti-
buttons. They lave seen naught OF strife
among our citizens. They have observed
the expansion OF industries and CONNER
cial institutions. They have enjoyed
bountiful harvests on their farms. Their
churches n other agencies for the spir-
itual growth OF a people have moved
steadily forward, and, all in all, they are
grateful for the progress that has been
ours. And they are mindful Of the fact
that without the watchful care Of Provi-
dence the result could not have been so
beneficial to the whole people.
Wherefore. I, j. E.. Erickson, governor
Of the state of Montana, do hereby join
the president Of the United States In
designating and setting aside Thursday,
the 29th day OF November, as Thanks
giving Day.
Let US on this day put aside all labor
and assembling In our churches or other
places OF community gathering %devoutly
offer our thanh to Almighty God for
His bounties, in the past and implore
a continuance Of His favors to the end
that we may be helped ever upward to
the finer things of life.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Great Seal
Of the state to be affixed.

the woods and plains, and side by side

they fought like demons but they
fought for their OWL, for the land of
their fathers-and when, foot by foot,

borrow no aid from fiction to render
them thrilling or effective.

Robbery at MOccasln

The Montana Lumber and Hardware
company at Moccasin was the scene of
q robbery in which the burglars gained
access by breaking the lock on the back
door. They found between 500 and $40
in cash besides some valuable tools and
flashlights. Clues lead to the belief that
three strangers were implicated in the
robbery. A large touring car was OBJ
served by a Moccasin resident when 1t
was parked about a quarter Of a mile
from town.
