Thanksgiving Proclamation by President
Wilson—Nov. 25th the Day.
Washington, Oct. 21.—Presi-
dent Wilson today, in a procla-
mation designating Thursday,
Nov. 25, as Thanksgiving day,
called attention to the fact that
the United ' States hasl.l been
at peaoe while most of Europe
has been at war.
“We have'-been able to assert
our rights and the rights of man-
. kind without breach of friend-
ship with the great nations with
whom we have had to deal,” said
the Presidents; ; V.
The text followsV-
“B has long.been the honored
custom of- our . people to turn in
the fruitful autumn of the year
its praise and thanksgiving to
Almighty God for his many bless-
ings and mercies to us as a na-
tion. The year that is now draw-
ing to a close since we last ob-
served our day of national
thanksgiving, has been, while a
year of discipline because of the
mighty forces of war and of
changes which have disturbed
the world, also a year of special
blessing for us.
“Another year of peace has
been vouchsafed us; another
year in which not only to take
thought of our duty to ourselves
and to mankind, but also to ad-
just ourselves -to the many re-
sponsibi idea thrust upon us by
a war which involved almost the
whole of Europe. We have been
able to assert our rights and the
rights of mankind without breach
of friendship with the great na-
tion^ with whom we have had to
deal, and, while wa have assert-
ed rights, we have been able to
perform duties and exercise priv-
ileges of succor and helpfulness
which should serve to demon-
strate our desire to make the of-
fices of friendship the means of
truly dic-iaterested and unselfish
service.
“Our ability to serve all who
■could avail themselves of our
'.services in the midst of crises
has been increased by a gracious
Providence, by m re and more
.abundant mo^s; our ample finan-
cial resources have enabled us
to steady the markets of the
world and facilitate necessary
movement of commerce, which
the war might otherwise have
rendered impossible, and our
people have come more and more
to a sober realization of the part
they have been called upon to
play in a time when all the world
is shaken by unparalleled dis-
tress and disasters.
■“The extraordinary circum-
stances of such a time have done
much to quicken our national
-conscientiousness and deepen
confirm our confidence in
the principles of peace and free-
dom by which we have always
sought to be guided. Out of
darkness and perplexites have
come former counsels of policy
and clearer perceptions of the
essential welfare of the nation.
We have prospered while other
people were at war, but our pros-
perity has been vouchsafed us,
we believe, only that we might
tha better perform the functions
which war rendered impossible
3for them to perform.
^“Now, therefore, I Woodrow
"Wilson, president of the United
States of America, do hereby
designate Thursday, the 25th of
November next, as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer and in-
vite the people throughout the
land to cease from their wonted
occupations, and, in the several
homes, and places of worship,
render thanks to Almighty God.
“In witness whereof, I have,
thereunto, sot my hand and
caused the seal of
States to be affixed,
A “Done at the City of Washing-
ton, this, the twentieth day of
October, in the year of our Lord,
one thousand nine hundred and
fifteen, and of the independence
of the United States of America,
one hundred and fortieth.
“By the president: Robert
Lansing, secretary of state.
(Signed): “Woodrow Wilson.”

growth of his business and his j
prosperity in extending him pat- i
ronago the customer adds to the j
prosperity of his home city and!
is himself a beneficiary in the j
general increase in business ac- j

There is no reason why a citi-
zen should patronize foreign es-
tablishments which contribute
nothing to the upbuilding of his j
community. The home mer-j
chant’s goods are of necessity;

Marble falls Bank is Robbed.
Marble Falls, Texas, Oct. 26.—
Two unmasked white men rob-
bed the First National Bank of
$2000 here this afternoon at 2:45
o’clock after fatally wounding
Robert H. Heinatz, bookkeeper, |
and forcing Walter Tate, assist- j
ant chaehier, under cover of
their revoivers, to open the vault.
The cashier was absent.
The robbers entered the bank i
from a side door and covered!
Heinatz and Tate, the only two
men in the bank. Heinatz

Cotton and Profits.
In Southwest Texas markets
middling cotton sold at and
around 12 cents a pound last
week, and cotton seed as high as
$36 a ton.
This means to the farmer
about $75 a bale for his cotton,
which is considerably more than
he could have anticipated a short
time ago, with the war still in
progress and with the marketing
of his crop restricted by the
blockades which cut him off from
so many of his customers.
The shortness of the present
season’s crop is the main cause
of the prevaling high prices, as
compared with last season, when
the market was so greatly over-
stocked, though spinners have
taken nearly twice as much of
th« staple up to this time this
season as at tho same time last
year. The probability, as indi-
cated by the transactions for fu-

cost than any ocher because they
have raised more of tho neces*
saries of life at home and have
not had to depend so much on
the supply merchants or money-
lenders to tide them over the
growing season. In view of this
fact it is to be hoped they will
profit by their experience and
not reverse their policy when the
next crop is to be planted and so
bring about another such condi
tion as has always prevailed
when production greatly exceed
ed the demand of consumption.—

Patronize Home Merchants.
In the campaign which
has
been in progress for some time in
Texas a great deal has been
written on the work of convinc-
ing the people that it is to their
best interest, that of their com-
munities and of the state at large,
to patronize home merchants. It
is rather remarkable that it
should have been considered
necessary to point out the ad-
vantages of a practice which
should be self-evident to all con-
cerned.
It is scarcely necessary to re-
mind intelligent citizens that
money spent with home mer-
chants remains in the communi-
ty, while that spent with mail or-
der houses or transient vendors
is taken away, never to return.
The home merchant upholds his
local oity or community in many
ways, notably in the payment of
tax&s which support local insti-
it, and walked out of town while
several dozen unarmed men
stood by powerless to make an
attack so rapidly had the robbery
been executed. After walking-
up the river half a mile men
crossed in a small boat and en-
tered the cedarbrakes on the west
side of the Colorado. Up to a
late hour this morning no clue
leading to their discovery had
been found.
Neither man was masked, and
they are described as follows:
One was about 6 feet 2 inches
tall, weighed approximately 170
pounds, and looked to be about
40 years old. He wore a soft
white hat, long red sweater and
khaki colored overalls. His face
is described as being red and
having upon it a two weeks’
growth of black beard.
The other man was about 5 feet
9 inches in height and 150 pounds
in weight. He was of a dark
complexion and wore a black hat
and red sweater.
The two men are said to have
gotten off the train which came
in from Austin this morning.
The sheriffs of Blanco and
Lampasas counties are here as-
sisting in the search. Every
road out of Marble Falls is being
guarded, and several men are
sweeping the cedarbrakes.
Drs. V. J. Scott and E. G.
Mathis of Austin oame in in an
automobile last night to operate
upon the wounded man. No
hope is held out for his recovery.
