Loyalty Day Resolutions

Whereas: The Government of our
Country has entered into. a titanic
struggle with a great world power,
which may demand the concerted out
pourings of the nations best in treas
ure, men, and the loyal cooperation of
all it's citizens, to bring to victorious
conclusion, making apparent to all of
us the great necessity to conserve the
food supply of the country, and to en-
nance the production of the necessi-
ties of life, and to economic in their
use, as we have never had to do in
this land of plenty; and
Whereas:We recognize the present
war as primarily a. death grapple be-
tween military despotism and free
democratic governments, and believe
that upon this country,the worlds
greatest exponent of freedom, equality
and humanity, logically rests an obli-
cation not only to preserve her own
honor and her own flag untarnished,
but to champion the vital cause of
popular liberty thruout the Earth;
and
Whereas: We recognize the indis-
pensible necessity of maintaining one
citizenship. one allegiance, and one
flag, and will not tolerate disloyalty
among the residents Of our commun-
ity, yet we desire to value at their
true worth, the many citizens of Ger
man birth who have gained our deep
est regard by years of residence a.
mong us, and express the belief that
the great majority of these foreign
born Americans are true patriots and
that they will contribute of their sub
stance and lives in defense of nation
as dear to them by adoption as it is to
a majority of us by birth, even though
in so doing they must make the added
sacrifice, which most of us cannot
measure or comprehend, of pledging
themselves to aid inmaking war upon
their own kinsmen: therefore
Resolved by the residents of this
community, that we, individually
pledge ourselves to the earnest endea-
vor to produce in gardens, and on
farms, more of the necessities of life
than ever before, and all that is with
in our power to produce, and that we
pledge ourselves to the elimination
of waste in the food supply of the
community. and
Resolved further, That we urge
our young men to enlist in the service
of their country, and petition the
governing bodies of the countfyto
provide adequate means of support
for the bread winners absent from
their homes in their country's cause.
Resolved further, That we pledge
ourselves unhesitatingly and unre-
servedly to the support of the govern
ment of the United States of America
and to it's president, and it's congress
without regard to race, color, or
creed, or political belief, and to up
hold and maintain any measure or &C
lions which they may see fit to enact
to bring the war to successful con-
clusion as speedily as possible, and
pledge ourselves to uphold and furth-
er any plans or policies which they
may inaugurate within the country to
aid III this contamination and for the
public welfare.

baccO to the American soldiers who now are, who
will be later, in France.

Fifth-That the newspapers which supporting
