The proclamation, which refers to the fact that the United States is at peace while the rest of the world is at war, follows: "By the President of the United States of America: A Proclamation: "It has long been the honored custom of our people to turn in the fruitfut autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many blessings an dmercies to us as a nation. The y< '.r tbat is now drawing to a close since we last observed our day of national thanksgiving has been, while a year of discipline because of the mighty forces of war and of change which have disturbed the world, also a year of special blessing for us. Peace With Honor. "It has been vouchsafed to us to remain at peace, with honor, and in some part to succor the suffering and supply the needs of those who are in want. We have been privileged by our own peace and self control in some degree to steady the counsels and shape the hopes and purposes of a day of fear and distress. Our people have looked upon their own life * as a nation with a deeper comprehension, a fuller realization of their responsibilities, and a keener sense of the moral and practical significance of what their part among the nations of the world may come to be. Hurtful Effects of War. "The hurtful effects of foreign war in their own industrial and commercial affairs have made them feel the more fully and see the more clearly their mutual interdependance upon , one another and has stirred them to a helpful cooperation, such as they have seldom practiced before. They 4 have been quickened by a great mor% al stimulation. Their unmistakable ardor for peace, their earnest pity and disinterested sympathy for those who are suffering, their readiness to help and to think of the needs of others, has revealed them to themselves as well as to the world. 4<Onr rmruz will f oivl nil whn nn<wl food; tho self-possession of our people amidst the most serious anxieties and difHculties and the steadiness and resourcefulness of our business men will serve other nations as well as our own. New Channels of Trade. 'The business of the country has been supplied with new instrumentalities and the commerce of the world with new channels of trade and intercourse. The l'anama canal has been .opened* to the commerce of the nations. The two continents of America have heen bound in closer ties of friendship. New instrumentalities of international trade have been created which will be also new instrumentalities of acquaintance, intercourse and mutual service.

Nov. 4.?The oad building specialists of the i>e>artment of Agriculture, in Bulletin W, s'o. 13f>, entitled "Highway Bonds,'' lave the following to say about the lenefit of a well constructed highway in< o property owners whose property is lot directly on the road to be improv;d: xv In planning the highway system oi he main market roads, it will be 'ound necessary to omit many roads u< he improvement of which is greatly lesired by abutting property owners. P" Phe fact that such property holders k' nust pay a tax for the bond issue is 1? inly an apparent injustice, for if the th lighway system is well planned the pa ntire county will feel the benefits of liv he improvement. As a rule, man an narket roads reach the majority of 1"'< producing areas, and when they are mproved all land values tend to in- i> urease. The fact that cities and larger J owns are frequently taxed for bond In linil/l Kicrhvpnve mil ui/ln Af' heir own limits is sometimes made a {|u ooint of debate in bond elections, il s argued that because a large part of .he county wealth is within the cor- j], borate limit of such cities and towns. |.(] lighway bond money should also he (|,| jsed to construct their streets. It i n'cn urged that the expenditure )o diould l>e made proportionate to the assessed valuation within the city imits. If the proceeds of highway jond issues were distributed in this way. their purpose in many cases would he defeated. The primary oh- 110 ject of the county highway bond issue s to build county market roads and J lot to improve city streets, although t high percentage of the assessed val- .!| jation may be city property. It '.s iow known that the expenditure is 111 one of the best features of State aid ()" for highways. In Massachusetts the dty of Boston pays possibly 40 per <>v ent of the total State highway fund, but not a mile of State-aid highway fias been built within its limits. New Vork City also pays about <>0 per cent "'J of the cost of the State highwav p bonds. Some State laws prohibit the jxpenditure of proceeds of State high- ,u way bonds within corporate limits of :ities or towns. U The improvement of market roads results iri improved marketing conditions which benefit the city. Most F" ^ are essentially dependent upon I the surrounding country for their I prosperity and development. The development of suburban property for residence purposes is also dependent upon highway conditions and it is becoming evident yearly that whatever makes for an increase in rural population must be encouraged. Since the ? introduction of motor traffic, country highways are used to an increasing extent by city residents. In fact, the cost of maintaining many country 1 highways has been greatly increased ' by the presence of city-owned motor vehicles. The general advance in facilities for doing country business from town headquarters when roads ( are improved is no inconsiderable fac- . tor in the commercial life of the community.
