What Lakeoiew Is.
It is a Significant Fact That the Majority of Lakeview Lots
Has Been Sold to Residents of New Orleans.
And more, the majority of thi s Is composed of the most successful business men of the city.
Can you not read between the lines of that message?
Is It nof~the highest recommendation that Lakeview should be most appreciated by those who know It
best, and who have already proved their abaillty to make profitable investments? We think so.
We are therefore the more eager to urge all—the man of the family, the young salaried
who has a sum for Investment but who doesn't want to take any chances,
her own livelihood—we unhesitatingly urge all to buy Lakeview lots.
Why, it is a simple case of supply and demand. Lakeview Is land that people must have in the course
of a few years. There is no other av enue open for them and J>ou may re st assured they will have to pay for It
when the time comes. And mind you those who buy now will be the ones to profit.. Will you be one of those?
At least look Into It further, cut out the coupon below and let us write you full particulars of the safest
and best investment in the whole South. '

any other city in the South. With the Panama Canal

Orleans must spread out-the demand for more homes is urgent now, It will be tremendous a few years
hence.
Opportunity
New Orleans is very peculiarly situated.
It can't go south or east for the river; it could hardly go farth
ei west ' must go north, it must envelop Lakeview, that splendid new section lying to the north of the city
between City Park and beautiful Lake Pontchartrain. A more ideal loca tlon for residence could hardly be
imagined. It is just 18 minutes trolley ride from the heart of the city; a quarter of a million dollars has
recently given it an almost perfect drainage system; it already has six miles of macadamized streets- it enjoy
boating, bathing, fishing as no other suburb of the city does.

Hearst News Service.
New York, November 24.—Day after
tomorrow will be "Ragamuffin Day"
in the metropolis. Umpty thousand
little children are preparing to band
themselves into a fantastically ar
rayed army of beggars and celebrate
Thanksgiving by asking alms from
adult pedestrians. The man who fails
to provide himself with a plentiful
supply of pennies and nickels with
which to placate the beggars, before
venturing on the streets, is likely to
fare ill at the hands of the little
angels.
Zow! A stocking full
whacks you over the head.
Zoom! A fish horn disrupts your
eardrums.
But what's the use of getting mad?
It's only a bunch of Thanksgiving
Day "Ragamuffins," out for their car
nival. Give them a nickel and they'll
let you alone.
There are thousands of them all
over New York on Thanksgiving Day.
Kids of all shapes, sorts and sizes, ar
rayed in the funniest, weirdest motley
you can imagine. They make the day

Where were Thanksgiving services

The discovery of the "gunpowder

thanksgiving in England and that na
tion observed such a day on many
like occasions, the last probably being
a national thanksgiving when the
Prince of Wales, now Edward VII., re
covered from a serious Ulnew.
Where and when was the first
Thanksgiving observance In the New
World?
The first thanksgiving held, in Amer
ica was not held within the bounds
of the United States, but on the shore
of Newfoundland, May 27, 1678, at the
time services were held by the Rev.
Mr. Wolfall, an English minister. He

But where on earth did the custom
originate? People from out of town
who visit New York on Thanksgiving
Day look in astonishment at the raga
muffins parading the street and say,
"What a strange custom. We don't
have this at home." No more do they.
The Thanksgiving Ragamuffin is New
York, all through.
Where did the custom originate?
People who like to dig these things
out have tried to trace the matter
back to its origin but In vain. Some
declare that the carnival is a survival
of the old English "Harvest Home."
But there are no proofs of this, and
besides Harvest Home doesn't come
at this time of year; furthermore, the
English don't celebrate it with maud
lin costumes. Nor is the custom a sur
vival of the Christmas "Waltz." We
have those at their own real time. No,
nobody seems able to trace the
Thanksgiving Ragamuffin back. So
we'll imagine that they are real New

new world.
When was the first Thanksgiving
proclamation in this country?
November 19, 1621; made by Gov
ernor Bradford to the Pilgrim Fathers.
He announced that since they had just
gathered abundant harvests of grain
and the cold weather had sent plenty
of game to their forests, December 13,
1621, would be observed throughout
the Plymouth colony as a day of
thanksgiving.
Who signed the first Thanksgiving
proclamation ever Issued by a Presi
dent?
George Washington, in 1782.
Who originated the modern Thanks
giving Day, as it Is observed in the
United States?
The Thanksgiving as it occurs to
day, dates from 1864, when President
Lincoln Issued a proclamation for set
ting apart the last Thursday In No
vember of that year, as a day of na
tional thanksgiving.
Each succeeding president has an
nually proclaimed a thanksgiving day,
which is generally followed by simi
lar proclamations by the governors of
the various states.
Who makes the Thanksgiving proc
lamation?
The president of the United States.
How is it dona?
The president writes it out with his
own hand, trying to put in as much of
the spirit of the day as possible. This
is not an easy task. He must avoid
repeating expressions that have been
used by preceding presidents, and yet
he must cover the same ground that
they cover. When he has finished
writing it out, it is copied and this
copy is sent to the state department.
One of the clerks who is a good pen
man writes the proclamation artistic
ally on parchment. The parchment Is
then sent back to the White House,
and the President signs it; after that
it is taken back to the state depart
ment, where the secretary of state
adds his name; then the great seal of
the state department is affixed. In
der to put the great s.eal on the procla
mation a note from the president is
necessary, in which he ays: "I here
by authorize and direct the secretary
of state to cause the seal of the United
States to be affixed - to my Thanksgiv
ing proclamation, dated this day and
signed by me, and for so doing this
shall be his warrant."
What is done with the proclama
tion when it has been thus written
and signed?
A great many clerkB in the state de
partment are then ordered to make
many copies of the proclamation
there are governors of states and ter
ritories. These copies are written by
hand on long sheets of blue
The state department never uses the
typewriter or any other means except
artistic handwriting for making copies
of official correspondence.
What do the different governors of
the states do when they have received
their copies of the president's procla
mation?
They then write special proclama
tions of their own, announcing to the
people of their states the fact that the
president has fixed on such and such
a day for the observance of thanks
giving worship and festivities.
