TIIAKKSGIVIN PROGLAil Nebraska Fortunate, "With Horn of IMenty I'ouring Riches At Our Feet." A proclamation calling for the ob servance of Thanksgiving day, No- ember 30, was issued by Governor Morehead on Thursday, in which he says: "To the people of the state of Ne braska, greeting: "It is my pleasure as governor of the state to again call attention to the near appioach of that season so dear to every Ameiican citizen, in the festivities of which there is no sem blance of sectionalism, but in which all point in one accord to give thanks ffr the gifts which Cod in his provi dence hath bestowed. "The year draws to a close with the horn of plenty pouring its riches at our feet. We can be thankful for a great past, a happy present and a sp.endiJ outlook to the future. Ne biaska is rounding into the fiftieth year of her admission into the union cf states. Our citizens of all callings and professions have been and are taking a deep interest in the effort to place and keep in the front rank the state of their adoption and birth. Never in our history have there been higher standards of honor and man hood, of purity for womanhood and of training for children. For all of these blessings of harvest and heart, let u? express our gratitude to the Giver of every good and p?rfect gift. "Now, I, John II. Morehead, as gov ernor of the state and in keeping with the action of the president of the United States, do designate and set apart, Thursday, the 30th day of No vember, 191G, as Thanksgiving day, and request all the people to abstain from their usual occupation and ob serve it as a day of thanksgiving; not forgetting to contribute out of our bounty to those less fortunate and in a special manner contribute to the vaii jus calls made upon us Jby those who now suffer from the ravages of war, and while we open our hands to their cry for material help, pray for the f-neoy coming oi the day wnen peace will be restored to the nations now at war. "JOHN II. MOREHEAD."

Farm work is the hardest work there is on machinery. Castings break, bearings wear out, shafts bend and break. Things get dull and pull hard, gears rattle, smash, bang and crash, paint gets dull. Many farmers throw away machinery and buy new, be cause they are not aware that we can in nearly every case re-make such machinery equal, and in many respects better than new. We do not care how bad your machinery is smashed or worn, they all look alike to us; we re make them as good as new and save you money. A dollar saved is a dollar earned, keep your money at home and you may get it back again besides it helps us to em ploy home labor. Tut your machinery troubles up to us, we have the best equipped machine shop in the country; if you don't believe it call and see us. Visitors are always welcome. WTe make everything in metal. Now is a good time to over haul things for the spring rush. WESTERN MACHINE FOUNDRY. L. C. Sharp.

The first fall came in two minutes after the referee had called time, and the second fall in three minutes, when the shoulders of the Iowa man were resting on the mat. The attendance was very good and the corwd seemed decidedly enthusiastic over the out come of the battle.
