~ ^PRESIDENT WILSON
SETS ASIDE DAY TO
RETURN THANKS
Washington, Oct. .'{0.?President
Wilson has issued a proclamation designating
Thursday, November 2(5, as
Thanksgiving day.
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. Never before have
the people of the United States been

Benefit of Road.s to Non-Abutting !m
Property Owners.
Washington, I). C? 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.
