Flag Day In Meade

To-day, June IA is Flag Day
in Kansas, and is the one hum
dred and fortieth anniversary of
the adoption of the stars and
stripes as the national emblem.
Governor Capper has urged
patriotic demonstrations and
general display of the national
colors on that day. He has urg-
ed further dedication by the
liberal purchase of liberty loan
bonds.
ut is time when all America
is stirred with patriotic fever as
it has not been moved IN a gene
ration, says the governor in his
proclamation. ut is eminently
fitting that we should set aside a
special day of respect and rever-
ence to the American flag-the
visible EN- blem of our national
independence and the beacon of
hope to the oppressed of all
lands. The entrance of the
United States into the great war
the pleading of our fortunes and
our lives to the cause of liberty
throughout the world, the sight
af our young men enrolling un-
der tbs colors, must bring to all
true citizens a new realization of
what the stars and stripes mean
and move them to regard 1t with
greater veneration and love than
ever before"
A meeting of the citizens of
Meade was held Tuesday and an
appropriate program arranged
for the day.
At ten O'Clock a. m. the flag
will be raised on the court house.
