A PROCLAMATION

A little more than two years ago this country joined the Allies in the des- perate war they were waging against the Central Powers. The mad forces of conscienciously atrocities were struggling to impose their will on the nations of the world and when fin ally our government made the deci- sion that meant war it received the approval of an aroused and determ- ined nation.
 As our government gathered its strength for this conflict the people , came to it's support with unanilnity unparalleled in our history. Wealth was poured out without measure our citizens asked for the privilege of giv- ing their time and strength ill war work. and our sons went forth to the front to die if need be. All of US tried to do our part and we did it gladly. Four times we met the call of the government for loans, and Liberty Loan bonds in the homes of Our peo- l pie are witness to their patriotism and their share in this great under !! taking.
 1 The war has been won and the 1 days of battle are over. For this we are deeply grateful. Today, however the task remains of bringing home the
 soldiers who were at the front, ot
 caring for sick and disabled, of honor
 ably discharging the contracts of the government, and of establishing peace
 in the land. This work requires large
 sums of money and to this end we are
 asked to buy Victory Liberty Bonds Duty and honor alike require us to dc
 this and in doing it we will give ev- idence to the forces of disorder l throughout the world of the strength
 and stability of our free government ! Now therefore, l, Marcus H. Hol- l comb. Governmor. do call upon tn, peon1e of tl,ie Sto+n +n er1hscribe lib erally to this loan and so to show thei gratitude i'll these aays of rejoicin. for the Victory that has been so dear ly won on the field of battle.
