War veterans is published in full;
Comrades:
1t is peculiarly fitting that we.
as Spanish war veterans, take the
lead In this community in the ex-
preston Of patriotic sentiment
and in the support of our country
In the crisis which confronts us.
This community is noted for
the enthusiasm with which Its
citizens enter into every move
ment for the public veal. Let us
not prove the exception to the
rule now when our country has
the right to expect so much of us.
Every Spanish war veteran
?hould be q leader in such times
and should be the first to offer
his services either at the front or
in preparing others for service.
We should not only talk patriot
ism, but it is our absolute duty to
work patriotism.
We have the best camp IN the
state and our neighbors naturally
look to us to set the pace. Let's
contribute all possible to the sue
cess of the patriotic demonstra-
tion to be held Sunday. We
should have our camp colors in
evidence there and every veteran
should be at headquarters at the
court house at p. m, ready to
march. Many comrades are con-
spicuous by their absence at
camp meetings. Ii YOU mean busi-
ness come cut and lend US the
aid of your presence.
Remember that "prcDared-
ness" Is not n mere byword. but
should mean something definite
TO q man who has heard the call
Shoulder arms!"
Must have full attendance at
the usual meeting place Monday
night as business of importance
Is to be transacted. Your fra
ternally, +. f.. Louderback. Com
mander. Attest: Charles Il.
