Virginia, the otily-titiiti! elect

WASHINGTON. Nov. fi. (P)
The American ppoplp were asked
to give thanks for blessings be
stowed upon them during thp la-t
year, in a Thanksgiving procla
mation issued today by President
Hoover.
In thp first document of this
kind he had issued, tho president
said assurances at peace at home
and abroad had been strengi henpd,
that the harvest had been abund
ant and that both capital and la
bor hd enjoyed "an exceptional
prosperity."
The proclamation set November

A Proclamation.
At this season of the year, when
thp harvest has been gathered In,
the thoughts of our forefathers
turned toward Ood with thanks
giving for the blessings of plenty
and provision against the needs of
winter. They came by custom to
look to the chief magistrate to set
apart a day of prayer and praise,
whereon their thanks as a united
people might he given with one
Video In unison, find had greatly
biassed us as a nation In the year
now drawing to a close. The earth
has yielded an abundant harvest
In most parts of the our country.
The fruits of industry havo been
of unexampled quantity and value,
Both capita and -labor have en
joyed an exceptional prosperity.
Peace Strengthened.
Assurances of peace, at home and'
abroad, have been strengthened
and enlarged. Progress has been
made In provision against prevent
able dfsnstern from flood and pesti
lence. Enlightenment has grown
apace In new revelations of scien
tific truth and In diffusion of
knowledge. Educational o p p n r
tunltlps have steadily enlarged. En
during advances have been gained
in the protection of the public
health. Childhood Is measurably
more secure. New experience and
new knowledge In many fields haw
been recorded, from which a reso
lution to devote them to service
of Almighty God.
ovcmlor liHih Set AMde.
Now. therefore, I, Herbert Hoov
er, president of the United States
of America, do appoint and set
aside Thursday, the 28th day of
November, as a day of national
thanksgiving, and do recommend
that all our pennle on that day rent
from their dally work that they
should extend to others less for
tunately placed, a share In their
abundance, and that they gather nt
their accustomed places of wor
ship, (here to render up thanks to
Almighty Ood for His many bless
ings upon them, for His forbear
ance and goodness.
In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused to
be affixed tho great seal of the

Kor liitiRliam to find some
body that knew anything
about the tariff was almost
as hip; a miracle as his ac
tion was a disgrace. Funny
part about it nil is that all
these arguments and all
these investigations is over a
bill that won't pass anyhow.
So all this is just like dis
cussing yesterday's weather.
