A PROCLAMATION.

Never before in the entire his
tory of our American Nation has
there been a time when proper
conservation of the country's re-
sources was more desirable, more
necessary, than at than at the
present hour.
Along all lines and from every
angle in the various walks of life
each citizen must do his Bit" in
this great movement, always i'm
portant but to which patriotism
now adds more comprehensive
significance.
The monstrous fire waste thru
out the country must be decreas-
ed and in the campaign now un-
der way to prevent and reduce
fire losses all South Dakota should
loyalty lend their efforts and bend
their energies. 1t is the duty of
the states people to reduce such
losses to the smallest possible de-
gree. Accidental fires must be
prevented and every force and
ingenity used in that direction.
In order that our citizens may
we'll familiarize themselves with
this tremendous fire waste, l
hereby designate Tuesday, Octo-
Der 9, 1917, as
FIRE PREVENTION DAY
in and for the State of South
Dakota, and earnestly urge and
recommend that it be so observ-
ed by the State S whole people.
The day should be made an oc-
cassion for a general "clean up"
by all property owners, unsightly
accumulation should be removed,
and highways, streets and alleys
thoroughly cleaned, while in the
schools instructions on the COM
mon fire hazards, fire prevention,
protection and fire fighting
should be given and fire drills
held, to the end that our great
national ash heap, so monumen-
tai a disgrace to our country, SO
grave a menace to our people,
may be lowered and finally re-
moved.
In Testimony Whereof, ! have
hereunto set my hand and caus
ed to be affixed the Great Seal of
the State of South Dakota, at the
Capitol in the City of Pierre this
18th day of September, 1917.
