BOARD OF TRADE MEETING

The Board of Governors of the Ma
rion County Board of Trade, met in
special session last night to dispose of
business that had been referred to
them for action. The condition of the
Board of Trade shows a study i'm
provement, with some money in the
bank and very little Indebtedness. The
following resolutions were adopted in
answer to the call from the chairman
of subcommittee on capital issues.
Ocala, Fla, March 80, 1918.
To Governor Sidney j. Cats,
Tallahassee, Fla.
We are today engaged in the most
stupendous conflict of all history, in
which the future safety of America is
emperilled and democracy of the world
endangered The responsibility of f.
nancing the war grows more serious
with the increasing demands, demands
not only for money but increased la
Dor and materials and enlarged pro-
duction in all essential lines.
! The situation at this time is of such
serious nature as to require reason
able restriction upon investment of
capital and the expenditures of labor
and materials in enterprises and for
projects not essential to our fixed pur-
pose of winning the war. Such sac
rifices must be made, if the war is to
be won, and, during the continuance
of the war, state, county, municipal,
corporate and individual financing
should be limited to the things that
will contribute to it's successful prose-
cution, or which are absolutely neces-
sary for public health and welfare.
With this in view the Marion Coun-
ty Board of Trade, of Ocala, Florida,
ask you to discourage the issue of
bonds, notes, shares of stock, etc., or
use of credits and the expenditures
of money not compatible with public
interest and government financial op-
erations; we do, therefore this day, at
/ a special meeting of the board of gov
ernors of the Marion County Board Of
Trade, adopt the following resolution:
Whereas, the grave responsibility
of financing the war grows more Sc
rious with increasing demands, and,
Whereas, we this day met as patri-
otic citizens in answer to the call of
our government, through the sub-com-
mittee on capital issues committee,
and being aware of the grave respon-
sibility of financing the war to sue
cessful conclusion; and realizing that
only through cooperative patriotic
self-sacrifce can our country's aim be
attained;
Therefore be it resolved, that you
as governor of Florida, use your pa
triotic cooperation by exercising the
most careful scrutiny over all appro-
priations, and to exclude from their
respective budgets every item tina,
/ does not represent an actual necessity
for the proper conduct of the govern
ment, and that materials and labor
may thus be conserved for the needs
of our national government.
We ask your most serious consider
alton of this grave question of con-
troll of non-essential expenditures,
and beg of you your most hearty and
patriotic cooperation. Respectfully,
Marion County Board of Trade.

COMMUNICATION

Mr. Editor:
Will you kindly publish the follow
ing communication.
Believing that the Home Guard of
Morrow county is an organization in
which every loyal citizen of Morrow
county, has an interest, | take this
opportunity of conveying to the peo-
pie of the county information con-
corning this organization.
The Home Guard is organized un-
der the Sheriff and is subject to his
command. The Guard has no author
ity to act, unless ordered to act by
the Sheriff, who is Commander-in-
Chief of the Guard When a man
joins the Home Guard he takes an
oath similar to that taken by deputy
sheriff. Each member is supposed to
attend drill twice each week, unless
excused, and any reasonable excuse
will be accepted, as the Guard is made
up of busy men, and their business
sometimes necessitates their absence
from drill.
The object of the Home Guard is
to protect life and property within the
bounds of Morrow county, and to
carry out this object, the members of
the Guard are giving two nights each
week of their time, and in case they
should be called upon for active duty
in guarding warehouses or wheat
fields, their services will be absolute
ly without charge.
The Home Guards of the State of
Oregon have recently been organi-
zed and John H. Hibbard of Portland
has been elected Brigadier General,
with headquarters at Portland, Ore
gon. The Home Guard organization
has received the APPROVAL of the Gov
ernor of the State, and its hoped that
the Home Guard will receive active
support from the state.
In order to become unit of the
Home Guard under the present or
ganization, it is necessary to have
company of 65 men who are regular
attendants at drill. We have in the
Home Guard at Heppner, over 70
members, but not more than SO are
regular attendants at drill We are
in need of more men in order to be-
come a unit of the State organization
and receive support from the state.
There are a great many men in
Heppner who are not members of the
Guard and who ought to be members,
and how to get them to come into the
Guard is the problem which we are
trying to solve No business man
can make the excuse that he hasn't
the time, for We are all busy, but we
take time. We make a sacrifice be-
cause we believe that the Home
Guard is a good thing for the county
and we are willing to make sacri-
fee to help a good cause. Almost
every other county in the state has
successful Home Guard organizations,
why not Morrow county, where there
is so much property to protect and
so little protection provided. Let us
all join the Home Guard and make it
a success.
