The brook in the meadow, still fringed with sedge, Feels the touch of the ice-king at its edge. The mountains beyond the broad river rise; Snow-silvered, they shine as the daylight dies. The north wind sweeps where the reapers sang, And the earth is hard where the fresh grain sprang. l'he toilers are gone with laughter and jest, The greensward’s asleep, and the forests rest. One robin sings late on the leaf-bare bough; T ie last of its kind; ’twill be winter now. Cold, dreary, and dark is the world to night; UUl liiC 11UU1C WHUI1I IS dglUW Willi llgui. Tlie table is loaded with homely cheer, l'lie fruit of the goodness that crowns the year. Praise Cod; ’tis from Him that all bles sings flow; Praise Him, all ye creatures in earth be low. Where the lire leaps high by the hearth they kneel To voice the thanksgiving giad hearts should feel. —Richard Sills Holmes Among our fixed and movable observ ances and anniversaries, Thanksgiving and Christmas have the first place be cause they, in the highest degree, appeal to that which is both human and spiritual in our natures. These are the days which most deeply thrill the heart of the nation. These are the days when sons, daughters and grandchildren go back to the home, to father and mother. Christmas belongs to the world, but Thanksgiving Day be longs to America. It was instituted by the Pilgrims and the descendants of those men and women who came to the western Atlantic shores with a determined pur pose a;.ing the foundation of a republic, have perpetuated it and made it a more sacred as the years have passed. Si ATE OF MAINE Proclamation by the Governor Seldom since the iirst New England Thanksgiving Day has there been greater cause for gratitude to Almighty God, or graver need to seek His blessing and His sustaining guidance. By the favor of Divine Providence, our Nation has in large measure escaped the riot and disaster which in the aftermath of war distress threatens to overwhelm so much of the civilized world. But m the seething unrest so prevalent in industrial centers and in occasional fierce outbreaks of selfishness ami greed, are plainly to be seen symptoms of pos sible calamities no less appalling even in our Own land. The future oilers no sure defence against •.I.is peril except the power of the spirit of God in the hearts of all Americans, re deeming them from self-seeking, and in sp ring them to mutual understanding and helpfulness. Now, therefore, I, Carl E. Milliken, Governor of Maine, do hereby designate and proclaim Thursday, the twenty seventh day of November, a day of Thanksgiving and prayer. And while returning thanks to God for his abundant bounty, let us humbly be seech Him to save us from selfishness and cruelty and to re ew within us that devotion tc truth and righteousness which shall safeguard the fruits of the victory for which so many of our countrymen ii .vc fought and died. Done at the Executive Chamber in the State House at Augusta, on the twenty second day of November, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and nineteen of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty fourth and of the State of Maine the. ninety-ninth. in w.tness whereof, I have hereunto set my nand and cause the seal of the State to be affixed. i_u, Carl E.

Jap Industry Hard Hit, During the war the Japanese zinc Industry was very prosperous and large profits were made on ore which was Imported from Australia and the French Indies. The signing of the armistice, however, has dealt a hard blow to this Industry, and it is reported that it costs $200 a ton to produce Jap anese zinc, while the market price is only $187 a tou. It is expected that this will result in a request for sub sidies and import protection, since the deposits of Japanese ore are of such inferior quality that competition with Imported ore cannot be met success fully.
