To the Citizens of So. Dakota:
In accordance with the wish
of President Wilson and in
keeping with the direction of
Secretary McAdoo, 1t is essen
tial that the people of South
Dakota pledge anew their al
legfance to the successful
prosecution of the war.
South Dakota has responded
nobly in both men and money
to every call Of the national
government. Her record in
the first, second and third
Liberty Loans is highly COM
mendable. Her work along
Red Cross and kindred lines
is equally good. Her contri-

died and many others of
whom are suffering on the war
torn fields of France, marks
the supreme sacrifice. In
keeping with this splendid
record, 1t is but fitting that
every man, woman and child
within the state now enlist
for further aid in the cause of
humanity as well as of self
protection.
The people of South Dakota
have been asked by the Presi-
dent of the United States and
by the Secretary of the Treas
ury to save and invest in War
Stamps in the amount of $12,-
100000. Other states have
been asked to invest likewise,
and In furtherance of this re-
quest the President has desig-
mated June 2Sth as War Saw
ings Day. On that day every
citizen of South Dakota will
be expected to pledge himself
and the members of his house
hold to the patriotic self denial
necessary to make this pos
sible.
Now, therefore, /, Peter
Norbeck, Governor of the State
OF South Dakota, in order to
enable all persons in the state
to align themselves with the
patriotic citizens of the nation
In responding to this urgent
call, do hereby proclaim Fri
day, June 28th, as War Saw
ings Day in South Dakota, and
as an aid to enable without
let or hindrance the rightful
performance of the duties of
the day, / hereby direct that
the afternoon of that day be
observed In this state as a
legal holiday, and that all

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
EARNEST APPEAL

This war is one of nations
not of armies-and all of
our one hundred million peo-
pie must be economically and
in~dustrially adjusted to war /.
conditions If this nation is to
play it's full part in the con-
f1ict. The problem before us
Is not primarily a financial
problem but rather a problem
of increased production of
war essentials and the saving
of the materials and the la
Dor necessary for the support
and equipment of u Army
and Navy. Thoughtless ex-
penditure Of money for non
essentials uses up the labor of
men, the products of the farm,
mines, and factories, and over
burdens transportation, all of
which must be used to the
utmost and at their best for
war purposes.
The great results which we
seek can be obtained only by
the participation of every
member of the nation, young
and old, in a national concert
ed thrift movement. l there-
fore urge that uour people
everywhere pledge themselves,
as suggested by the Secretary
of the .asury, to the prac-
tice of thrift; to serve the
Government to their utmost in
increasing production in all
fields necessary to the winning
of the war; to conserve food
and fuel and useful materials
of every kind; to devote their
labor only to the most access
sary tasks; and to buy only
Nlfose things which are es-
Fsential to individual health
and efficiency; and that the
people, as evidence Of their
loyalty, invest all that they
can save in Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps. The
securities issued by the Treas
ury Department are so many
of them within the reach of
every one that the door of OPP
portunity In this matter is
wide open to all of us. To
practice thrift in peace times
Is a virtue and brings great
benefit to the individual at all
times; with the desperate
need of the civilized world to-
day for materials and labor
with which to end the war,
the practice of individual
thrift is a patriotic duty and
a necessity.
/ appeal to all who now
own either Liberty Bonds or
War Savings Stamps to con-
tinue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who
do not own Government. Sc
curities to do likewise and
purchase them to the extent of
their means. The man who
buys Government securities
transfers the purchasing pow
err of his money to the United
States Government until after
this war, and to that same
degree does not buy in COM
petition with the Government.
/ earnestly appeal to every
man, woman, and child to
pledge themselves on or be-
fore the 2Sth of June to save
constantly and to buy as
regularly as possible the Sc
curities of the Government.
The 28th of June ends this
special period of enlistment
in the great volunteer army
OF production and saving here
at home. May there be none
unenlisted On that day!

erican people economic and
save in order to make avail
able to their Government the
money indispensably needed
for the war and to release
supplies and labor required
for the production of things
necessary for u own military
forces and for the military
forces of the nations associated
with us. One of the best
methods of bringing about this
result is for everyone to pledge
self to economic and save and
to purchase, at definite periods
a specific amount of War
Savings Stamps, thus giving
concrete evidence of his sup
port of the practice of War
Savings.
To achieve this object, there
will be conducted, under the
direction of the Treasury De-
partment, a m a | g for
pledges, eliminating on June
28th, when all loyal Ameri-
cans throughout the Country
will be asked to commit them
selves to this program.
The progress of the war de-
mands constant and increas-
ing sacrifices. We are send
u young manhood to repre-
sent us on foreign battletields,
where they are called upon to
sacrifice not only their personal
comfort and material interests
but their lives as well. 1t Ia
appropriate, therefore, for the
American people who IRE
privileged to remain in safety
and comfort at home to con-
slider it their sacred obliga-
ton to support our gallant
men and to pledge themselves
earnestly to save and econ
omize in order that our sold
iers and sailors may have the
food and clothing and the arms
and ammunition without which
they cannot fight.
To the end that this inten-
sive campaign may be most
effective, / earnestly bespeak
the cooperation of all the or
CARNATIONS and institutions of
the nation which, through their
influence and active support,
can further this work. 1t is
desirable that the attention of
the entire people be conferred
on their obligation to pledge
the Government this kind Of
support for the winning of
the war, and with this object
in view, that June 28th, 1918,
be observed as a National War
Savings Day.
With adequate preparation
for a National War Savings
day on June 28th, / am sure
that the American people will
be glad to participate and to
pledge themselves to become
war savers, thereby giving
concrete evidence of their de-
votion to their country's well
fare and of their infiexible pur-
pose to fight until a trium-
plant victory for liberty is
secured.

that before the war ends women
