The towns and smaller cities in
Colorado, which have been 100 per
cent patriotic in supplying men for
Uncle Sans fighting forces, as we'll
as subscribing money for Liberty
bonds, thrift stamps, Red Crsss and
other war activities, are now calling
for men to fill up the ranks of their
armies.
In survey now being conducted by
the State Board of immigration it de-
velops that there is scarcely town l.,
the state which is not in need of bus;-
ness or professional people of some
kind, and a large proportion of these
needs are to replace men who have
gone to war. A similar survey was
conducted year ago, and the Board
finds the demand now fully Is per
cent greater than it was then.
When the work is completed the
Board expects to have reports from
every place of less than 10000 people
in the state, and special survey will
be conducted for the larger cities.
During the summer months, when
there is comparatively little movement
of farmers and landseekers to the ag-
ricultural districts the Board hopes to
supply most of these business and pro-
fessional needs of the smaller COM
munities.

4TH OF JULY PROCLAMATION
EXECUTIVE ORDER

THE celebration of this Fourth of
July should be the most sacred and

sense of grave responsibility to our
own citizenship. the alien within our
borders, our allies, and to all the ma
tions of earth. A holy day. one to be
given to grave contemplation, to pa
triotic, inspiring memories and pur-
poses. Let it be known at Loyalty
Day" for the foreign born citizens tc
demonstrate their love and devotion
to the country of their adoption.
america is giving of her life-blood
in most loyal allegiance to our allies
that liberty, justice and peace may
abide on earth. No issue so momen-
tous to humanity was ever rendered in
battle. A unity of purpose must weld
together these native and foreign born
struggling in this righteous cause.
NOW, THEREFORE, l, Julius C.
Gunter, Governor Of the State of Colo
RADIO, in response to duty and the ma.
tional request, do hereby declare the
Fourth Day of July, A. D. 1918, to be

zens, and all others within our bor-
ders, to assemble and to seriously and

MAY THERE BE NONE UN.
ENLISTED ON THAT DAY

President Wilson, in his statement
calling upon every man, woman, and
child to pledge themselves on or be-
fore June % to save constantly and to
buy regularly the securities of the
Government, says, May there be
none unenlisted on that day!"
AS the President points out, This
war is one of nations-not of armies
and all of our 1OO,OOO,OOO people
must be economically and industrially
adjusted to war conditions if this Ma
tion is to play its full part in the con-
flict."
Our Nation, not our Army and
Navy only, is at war. And that
means that all of us not actually
fighting must do our part.
That part consists in giving the
Army and Navy all the support of
which we are capable. To do that each
one of us must first of all be a pro-
ducer to our maximum ability and a
consumer of necessities only, for every
bit of man power and every particle
of material is necessary for the use of
the Army and Navy and for the max
ing of the things essential to our
citizens.
AS maximum producer and as a
consumer of necessities only, each one
of US will be an accumulator of saw
ings. And these savings can be in
vested in War Savings Stamps with
benefit to both the Government and
ourselves.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-06-20

War Savings Stamps help provide
that Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world"
which President Wilson says must be
used against our enemies.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-06-20

Give our boys in the Army and Navy
every fighting chance. Pledge your
self to save to the utmost of your
ability and to buy War Savings
Stamps.
All you are asked to do is to buy
only necessary things and then loan
not give-your savings to your Gov
ernment to help it fight your war.

conditions are reported by rs cities.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-06-20

Your common sense will tell you
that you cannot buy now all the things
you bought before we had war to
win. Your buying must be restricted
and your savings invested in War
Savings Stamps.

Prohibition Law Becomes Effective
At Midnight.
indianapolis. April 2.-The State
wide prohibition law so written that
intoxicating liquor may not be man
ufacturei. sold, given away or ship
ped into the State except for medicinal
and sacramental purposes took effect
at midnight tonight. Members esti-
mated that 3.400 saloons in the State
closed their doors and that 80 brew
cries in the State were affected. The
amount of money the league members
say. that has been spent annually for
Intoxicating liquor in the State Is $2s,-
100000.
The closing Of all places where
liquor might be purchased followed
strenuous efforts of the ''wets'' to have
the law declared unconstitutional.
The Indiana supreme court heard oral
arguments in two cases involving the
law today.
