QUARANTINE PROCLAMATION
By THE COUNTY PHYSICIAN

An epidemic, terrible in proportions
and resultant deaths. il sweeping over
the country.
According 10 salida physicians.
three out Of every four pneumonia
cases are failing to recover in our
neiehboring city. Similar and worse
towns. Altho surrounded BY this
epidemic, Gunnison County is the only
one in the state to remain free from
the disease.
In order that our lives and those
OF bur families may be better safe
guarded, have caused . stric. quar-
antine to be placed ON Gunnison Coun-
~ against the world. Barricadcs and
fences have been erected on all main
highways near the county lines; Lam,
terms night. and signs by day warm
ing autoes to go thru the county 1t
once or submit to quarantine. =
ANY person may leave the county
at his will: None may ret1r1 except
those who will go into voluntary
quarantine at place designated by
this office. This applies to residents
outside the town Of Gunnison, which
has its own regulations.
Altho We feel and expect the loyal
support of every Gunnison County
citizen in making this drastic act cf-
fective, however, the first instance in
which any person willfully molests
these barricades or deliberately en-
deavors to break this quarantine, that
person will be dealt with to the fullest
extent Of the law, and to this we pro-
mise our personal attention.

Heagrecd, however, that it would be
to the interest of the British people
and also just and equitable, if Russia
wanted it, that Great Britain stand by
Russia.

SOME ONE SHOULD START 1T
OTHERS WILL FOLLOW

June cath, 1918.
To the Community Councils of Clar-
endon County.
Sometime ago the War Department
issued orders to the Exemption
Boards not to induct farmers into the
military service until further orders.
The very serious recent developments
in the military situation has made it
necessary to suspend this order. I am
advised by the Clarendon County En-
emption Board that out of the quota
of twenty-one (2D whites just or
dered from this County there is only
one available who is not 4 farn.cr.
Twenty (20) young white farmers
will, therefore, have to leave their
farms at once for the service Of their
country.
The Government we'll understanding
the hardship which this will mean to
many of these men, but the military
necessities are so great that nothin,
else can now be taken into considera-
tion. The people at home, however,
ought to see to it that the crops of the
drafted farmers in Clarendon County
are not destroyed for lack Of work.
The patriotic citizens living in the
nelghborhood Of any farm whose man
ager or chief la5orcr is taken, should
see that labor is provided to work the
crop.
The Community Councils of this
county should make it their business
to attend to this matter. The atten
tion of your people should Re called
to the vital necessity Of seeing that
these young men do not lose their
crops by responding to the call OF The
Government. The patriotic neighbors
and friends Of these men can and will
assemble periodically to work these
crops. if they understand the necessi
ties of each case, and your Communi-
ty Council can do no more valuable
service at the moment than to see
that this is done. suggest that YOU
appoint a neighboring farmer to rep
resent the interests Of each drafted
farmer
l would call your attention to the
TACT that number of college and hign
school students have now returned to
their. homes and that most of these
are keenly anxious to render patri-
otlc service to their country. Some
of these can be used in this emerpcn.
