this year thu farmers will have harvest

work will be 30 far in advance of what ii
was on July 4th last year that no farmer
will have any good reason for not giving
at lea t one-half day in celebrating tn e
anniversary of the birth OF his Nation,
which has been and is now doing 40
much to protect his crops, mis- property,
his liberty and his life.
Judging from the temperature OF the
weather now, it is very probable that
July 4th will be a hot one". However,
if our soldier boysin camp and at the
front can suffer and endure all of the
hardships OF war for us. regardless Of
the hea, we can surely, if we are well,
show our appreciation VI their services
by marching few squares, to aid in
this patriotic service and in the dediea-
ton of County Service Flag, which is
to be dedicated In honor of the FIVE
hundred Dubois County boys who have
already gone to the front for us.
We want a parade that will bs OF edit
to the seven hun red thousand Ameri-
cans who have eros led the sea to join in
the fight to make the world free for
Democracy. We don't want any "Tire1
rommies' nor Lazy Ills" in the line
Of march. We want patriotic. rei-blood-
ed men, women who can iefy the heat
and march without complaint The Com
mittee requests too, that each Sunday
School. each Lodge or Order, each Red
Cross chapter, each organic alton of what
sver kind select enc or more good live
,ongs and sing tho same along the line

"God savs our splendid men
Send them safe home again
God cave our men.
Make them victorious,
Faithful and chivalrous,
They are so dear to us.
