Mr.. Merchant, are you patriotic
enough to close your store on Regis
tration Day, June fifth? Dou you feel
enough kindly interest and sympathy
for the millions Of young fellows who
are registering for active service to
show that interest by closing your
place of business? Do you know that
the people of Greenwood and Lefiore
County are expecting you to close?
1t is not asking you to do much. 1t
is not like asking you to close up on
holiday, or on some occasion like a
political rally when large crowd will
be in town to enjoy good time and
to spend their money. June the fifth
is to be very solemn occasion for the
entire United States and is to be cele-
brated in no gala spirit.
When the Declaration of 1ndepend-
ence was signed on the Fourth day OF
July it was not made a gala day
though American colonies celebrated
it with rejoicing. 1t was very SOL
emn occasion and one of much NOM
ent not only to the colonies but to the
world. We celebrate it now as q hol-
iday because the actions Of that day
gave birth to the United States OF
America. We celebrate it now rs .
gala occasion-and it is now-the act
ual day that the Declaration Of lnde-
pendence was signed was far from one
Of gala.
And so it is to be with the Fifth OF
June. This year it is to be a serious
occasion. One to be celebrated as the
Hebrew celebrates a fast day. Anoth-
er red letter day in the history Of
America. In years to come when the
selective draft has proven the success
which it really is, and it is apparen,
to all as the only method Of raising n
army, and when the army raised hal
been instrumental in restoring peace
to the world, that date will also b'
celebrated as a holiday and gala oc
casion.
1t is with that in view that YOU ar
asked to close your doors that day an
forget business, forget the idea 9
money making. Did the merchants Il
