ENEMY TALK TO BE STOPPED.

making effective use of a punch held
by every council in this state. 1t pro-
poses to stop enemy talk forthwith.
Patriotic workers in that county were
asked when soliciting for support
how much they were getting" Treat
ing this subject and branding such
queries as enemy propaganda" the
county council issued a statement
which, after denying the charge pat
riotic workers are paid, concludes as
follows:
up to this time we have been
prosecuting these loyal services sub
ject to all kinds of disparaging efforts
and talk on the part of few with no
way of retaliating and with no pro-
lection afforded. Now. however, with
the defense council of the state affil-
lated with the national government
and the county council organized un.
der the state, notice of these annoying
things can and will be taken and cor
receive measures put in motion.
Enemy propaganda is one OF these
annoying things. It's much worse than
annoying-its treason-but let it go
as simply annoying. 1t will be taken
care of by the county council of de-
Tense. Merely impatient remarks and
conversations prompted by plain ig-
norance a-e not worth investigation,
but talk clearly intended to hinder or
embarrass a citizen In service for the
government, insults offered to patri-
otto workers. imputations of graft,
and contempt expressed concerning
community activities related to the
war will. II reputably and credibly re-
ported, be given consideration by the
defense council and those offending
will be given an opportunity to explain.
Enemy propaganda must be stopped
in Nez Perez county"
