Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1918-04-18
All Together

The furious battles and the untold
weeks been caused by the fendish
desires of the Kaiser and his bunch
of advisers, has made such an i'm
preston on the people of this COM
aside from war preparations, have
received but little attention.
AS it is well known more than 125 |
of Jerome's most manly, patriotic |
and loyal boys are now in the SER
vice and many are today on the fir |
ing line. 1t has caused the greatest |
anxiety to the parents and relatives !
of these boys as well as that of every
100 per cent loyal American citi
zen of this tract, and many are the
prayers that have gone up TO God
Almighty, the supreme ruler of the
universe, for their protection, and
to give them super-human strength
to fight off the terrible Hun.
While it is true that the entire
population of this community is most
visibly affected by the news from the
press, those who need your most
kindly thoughts ana attentions, are
the mothers. fathers. sisters and
brothers of these boys who are now
stalking their lives. that you who re-
main at home may continue that
great American freedom, that no
other country but the United States
enjoys, under Uncle Sans most lib
eral laws.

passed, and as the bood book says:
IF you are not for me, you are
against me-" You must now walk
up to the captains desk and declare
yourself. And woe be 10 the man or
! woman, boy or girl, who is not alb
solutely loyal from the top Of their
heads TO the toes on their feet, as
no minute ldisloyalty. no matter how
small it may be. will be overlooked.
And why should it De- You have
today thousands of boys, who are
your own flesh and blood, who have
been dragged into the awful war by
the meanest. most degraded degen-
