SHOW YOUR PATRIOTISM
BY AIDING REGISTRATION

The following communication has
been sent to the county Ways and
Means committees by the State War
Council, giving instructions fer SER
vices to be rendered by the clergy
and laymen in connection with the
registration of eligibles under the
conscription act next Tuesday. The
Gilpin County War Council requests
that these instructions be carried out
locally as far as practicable and ur.
ges upon every citizen as patriotic
duty to lend his or her aid in seeing
that every man from 81 to 80 years
CT age is registered:
Denver, Colo, May 20, 1917.
MIR. W. ]. Stull,
Central City, Colo.
Dear Sir:
MANY inquiries regarding the cell
ebration of registration day, June 5,
1917, have been received by the War
Council. AS a result the following
suggestions are being issued to the
chairmen of the ways and means COM
mittees of the several counties Of
the state of Colorado in order that
the observance of the day may, as
,, far as possible, be identical over the
state and naticn.
AS a preparation for this occa-
sion 1t is urged that the ministers
Of all the churches devote their SER
mons on Sunday, June 3rd, to a pa
trdottc discussion of the meaning of
our young manhood.
THE opening of the registration
places over the state at seven o'clock
in the morning of June 9th should
be marked by the ringing of bells,
the blowing of steam whistles and
the hodsting of flags on all buildings.
Elaborate and costly decorations
should be discouraged. The spirit of
volunteer service in all preparation
fer and activities of the day should
be foremost.
"All registration places should be
decorated with the national and state
flags and colors.
"All celebration during the hours
of registration should center around
the registration places and would
better be by having delegations from
the various patriotic orders, particu-
larly the G. A. R., the Confederate
veterans and the Spanish war veter-
ans, acting as reception committees
outside the registration places.
In all school rooms in session dur.
ing the day the teachers should i'm.
press the children wi h the solemnity
of the occasion and the beauty Of the
spirit of service
patriotic meetings Immediately al
the close Of the registration hour
should be held as far as practicable
In all cities and communities through
out the state.
The War Council and ways and
means committee rely upon the sew
eral county ways and means commit
tees to undertake this patriotic ser
vice and to enlist in their support
the aid of all religious, commercial
social and patriotic societies in theil
several counties.
Yours very respectfully,
