THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

(Continued from page one)

I Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States iof America, do appoint Thursday, the 30th day of November, as a I day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and urge and advise the people to resort to their several places of worship on that day torender thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of peace and unbroken prosperity which He has bestowed upon our beloved country in such unstinted measure. And I also urge and suggest our duty," in this our day of peace and abundance, is to think in deep sympathy of the stricken peoples of the world upon whom the curse and terror of war has so pitlessly fallen and to contribute out of our abundant means to the relief of their sufferings. Our people ,could in no better way show their real attitude toward the present struggle of the nations than by contributing out of their abundance to the relief of the suffering which war has brought in its train. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this 17th day of November, in the year of Our Lord, 1916, and of the Independence of the United States the 141st. WOODROW WILSON. By the President. ROBERT LANSING, ■ ■ Secretary of State.

ANOTHER ELECTION ON WAY

Road Supervisors Are to Be Chosen in Jasper County Next Month. Another election is approaching the voters of the state. The date is Saturday, December 16. At that time district road supervisors will be elected throughout the various Indiana counties. The law relative to the election of road supervisors was amended by the legislature during the 1915 session and was made to read as follows: “The qualified voters in each road district of the several townships of the several counties in the state shall, on the second Saturday after the first Monday in December, 1916, and every two (2) years thereafter, elect a supervisor who shall hold his office for the term of two (2) years and until his successor is elected arid qualified. Road districts shall not be held to include any part or parts of cities or incorporated towns that may be in the township in which such road districts are located. The township trustee of each township shall on or before the first Monday in December, 1916, and every two (2) years' thereafter, post up or cause to be posted, in at least two (2) public places notices of an election of supervisor of such road, district, giving therein the place, day and hour at which such election shall be held. The day and hourybf such election shall be the same ih each road district of the township. The place of such election shall, if practicable, be a school house, located in the road district. The township trustee shall act as inspector of the election, and shall name from among the qualified voters present two

clerks, who shall, if possible, not be of the same political party. Such clerks, with the trustee, shall form an election board to judge of the qualifications of voters, and shall collect or receive and shall count the ballots cast.” The trustee shall name inspectors for the districts in his township where he is not to serve and the election boards in each other distrlct will be made up in the same manner. The polls will be open from 2 to 5 o’clock in the afternoon and the voters will vote by ballot. Each votdr will write on a slip of paper the name of the man whom he desires for supervisor. After the polls close the voters will be excluded polling place, except watchers may be allowed to remain. The votes are then counted and the man receiving the highest number in each district is to be declared elected. Mistakes in spelling or initials are not to be counted as making a vote void if it was the evident intent of the voter to cast his ballot for a certain candidate. All ballots are to be preserved by the trustee until the following June. The members of theelection board do not draw any pay for their services. Each trustee must collect the returns in his township and certify the results to the county auditor within, three days. Not more than four supervisors are allowed in any township. The supervisors are to be allowed pay at the rate of 25 cents per hour for the time’ actually employed and -they are not allowed to •work more than fifty days in one year, except that in the event of the election of but one supervisor for a township, the township trustee may extend the time the supervisor may work to not more than 120 days.
