|Proclamations Issued During
the Past Week
Urge Farmers and Others to
Till Every Foot of Till
able Land.

Two very important proclaim
ations have been issued during
the past week, the one by the
President of the United States
and the other by Governor Phil
lipp of Wisconsin. Both proc
Iamations are issued to the peo-
Pile of the nation and state urg-
ing the conservation of food and
the planting of every tillable
foot of land in the state.
The United States is now en-
gagged in a war with Germany
and Austria Hungary has broken
all diplomatic relations and will
soon be in a state of war with
this country. In addition to
supplying mighty army and
navy the people of the United
States will also be called upon to
help feed and equip the other
countries with which it is now
allied in the world way and this
is going to be tremendous task
and one that will require the help
of all of the people of this nation.
At the present time there is a
shortage Of food-stuffs and un-
less bumper crop is raised in
the United States the coming
season there will still be further
shortage the coming winter.
The United States is able to
feed the world if every foot of
land is cultivated and there is
no crop failure, but every pre-
caution must be taken to see
that the crops are planted, cul-
tivated and harvested.
The proclamations issued by
the President and Governor urge
upon every citizen of the United
States to aid the government
and to produce the largest crops
possible.
The State Agricultural depart
ment will assist farmers in get
ting seeds with which to plant
their lands.

People to Have Opportunity
to Show Patriotism
Monster Parade to be Staged
with Meeting at the
Opera House.

Washburn people who are just
teeming over with patriotism are
going to have an opportunity to
show that patriotic spirit on
Tuesday evening, April Oath,
when a patriotic demonstl alton
will be held in which people will
have an opportunity to give vent
to their feelings.
Acommittee of the Commercial
Club with H. I'll. Peavey acting
as chairman is now working out
the details for the meeting which
will be the biggest of the kind
ever held in the city of Wash
burn.
The plan is to have a monster
parade in which automobiles and
marchers will take part, headed
by the Washburn City Band.
This will take place on Wash
burns main street on Tuesday
evening, April 24th at 7:3O o.
clock.

will assemble atthe Opera House
where patriotic meeting will
be. held in which local
speakers will deliver stirring
patriotic addresses, where there
will be singing of national songs
and the playing of national
music by the Washburn City
Band.
Washburn has always shown
on occasions of this kind that
the people here possessed the
right patriotic spirit and the
parade should be the biggest
ever seen in the city and the
Opera House where the meeting
will be held should prove to be
altogether too small to house the
crowd that will turn out.

rendered:

officer.
