LOYALTY DAY
GOV. NORBECK PROCLAIMs SUM-
DAY DECEMBER 16.

Pierre, Dec. 15.-Gov. Peter Nor
beck has issued o proclamation desig-
mating next Sunday as Conservation
and Loyalty day in the state and urg-
ing statewide observance in the
homes and in the churches.
The proclamation follows:
I'm harmony with resolutions
adopted by the committee of churches
of the federal food administration
for South Dakota, / hereby designate
and proclaim Sunday, December 10,
1917, as Conservation and Loyalty
day, and earnestly request that IL be
SO observed in all homes and churches
throughout the entire state. l urge
that all pastors devote themselves to
addresses dealing with the absolute
necessity for stringent conservation
measures; that In hymns, music and
suitable exercises loyalty and patriot
tism be given prominent place; that
our people renew their pledges OF
service and sacrifice, to the end
that our confidence continue uncon-
Querable, our hopes spring eternal
and our faith remain invincible.
I'VE are in the war and we are in
1t to stay until we win. AS a people
we seem slow to understand that to
win actually necessitates a greater
personal service and a more thorough
cooperation on the part Of every
American man. woman and child
than ever before met up with In our
history. Very much is being said and
in truth. much is being done, but In
deed the end is not yet. All cannot
be at tbs front, some must serve
away from the firing line-neverthe-
less there is a work for all to do.
The allies-their soldiers, their whole
peOple-must be fed, and America In
large measure must produce the food,
BY thrift by saving. with labor. with
financial support, In these and count
less other ways we can successfully
strike the enemy, can vindicate ths
cause for which we fight, and answer
the calls for succor from hungry mil
lions.
I'm testimony whereof, / have
hereunto set my hand and caused to
be affixed the great seal of the state
at the capitol In the city Of Pierre
