AMERICA FIRST DAY
America First Day was started in
West Virginia, July 1921 by the A.
merican Constitutional Association,
state patriotic organization. The
Association requested the coopoera-
tion of the ministers, Sunday School
superintendent, and other church of
ficials in having religious patriotic
exercises in their churches on that
day. Governor E. F. Morgan isssed
a proclamation calling upon the citi-
zens Of the State to join in observ-
ing the day in an appropriate man
ner.
All speakers were asked to use as
their subject American Ideals"
Data and placards were sent in
to all communities in the State to adj
vertise the day. 1t was estimated
that more than thousand meetings
We're held in the churches, Sunday
Schools and by special arrangements
on the first America First Day.
On July 2, 1922 the second Ameri-
ca First Day was observed in West
Virginia by proclamation of the Gov
ernor. The idea had been so we'll
received that the governors of nine
other states write Governor Morgan
that they were issuing proclamations
requesting the citizens of their COM
monwealths to observe the Sunday
prior to July Fourth as America
First Day.
1t was estimated that there were
more than three thousand patriotic
meetings held in West Virginia on
the second America First Day.
The third America First Day will
be observed Sunday July /, 1923.
Suggested programs and other ma
terial thave been sent out to all min
listers and Sunday School superin-
tendents in the State. Governor
Morgan has again issued proclama-
ton requesting all citizens to APP
propriately observe the day and all
speakers to use as their subject ga
merican Ideals"
The Governors Proclamation is as

A PROCLAMATION
BY the Governor

WHEREAS, 1t is essential, ~lest
we forget" that loyal citizens Of the
State and the Republic frequently re-
| new their faith and confidence in
their country and express their pat
riotism in public demonstrations and
| WHEREAS, Patriotism, love Of
country and adherence to American
Ideals are not inherited but must be
acquired by persistent study and ap-
plication; and,

day be set aside for the purpose of
discussing and bringing impressively
to the attention of our citizens some
of the fundamental American Ideals
among which are equality of oppor-

ward for labor, respect for the home,
abolition of caste and Gloss, respect

PROPER DISPLAY

national flag and another flag are
displayed together, as against wall
from crossed staffs, the national
flag should be on the right, the flags
own right, i. e., the observers left,
and it's staff should be in front of
the staff of the other flag. When a
number of flags are grouped and dis
played from staffs the national flag
should be in the center or at the
highest point of the group. When
the national flag is hung either hori-
zontally or vertically against wall
the union should be uppermost and
to the flags own right, i. e., to the
observers left. When displayed from
staff projecting horizontally or at
an angle from window sill or the
front Of building, the same rules
should be observed; the union should
go clear of the truck, as the peak
of the staff is called, unless the flag
be at half staff. When the flag is
suspended between buildings so as to
hang over the middle of the street,
simple rule is to hang the union to
the north in an east and west street
or to the east in a north and south
street.
international usage forbids the
display of the flag of one nation a.
bove that of any other nation in
time of peace. The national flag,
when not flown from a staff should
be always hung flat, whether indoors
or out. It should not be festooned
over doorways or arches or tied in
bowknot nor fashioned into rosette.
When used en- a rostrum it should be
fashioned into rosette. When used
on a rostrum it should be displayed
above and behind the speakers desk.
1t should never be used to cover the
speakers desk nor to drape over the
front of the platform. For this lat
ter purpose as well as for decoration
in general, bunting of the national
colors should be used, and since the
blue union Of the flag always goes
to the honor point, the colors should
be arranged with the blue above, the
the white in the middle and the red
below. Under no circumstances
should any object or emblem of any
kind should ever be placed upon the
flag. 1t should not be used as a
portion of a woman's costume nor of
mans athletic clothing. A very
common missue of the flag is the
practice of embroidering the flag on
cushions and handkerchiefs, and the
printing of the flag on paper nap
uins.
ION Memorial Day the national
flag is displayed at half staff from
sunrise until noon and at full staff
from noon until sunset. When flown
at half staff the flag is always first
hoisted to the peak, the honor point.
and then slowly lowered to half-staff
position, but before lowering the
flag for the day it is raised again
to the head of the staff. When FLAGS
are used in connection with the un-
yelling of statue or monument thew

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January IS-Richard
Sutro, chairman of the protective
committee for Denver and Rio
Grande refunding and adjustment
bondholders, has issued a statement
protesting against the disposition of
the company's property. reported to
be under consideration by the di-
rectorS of the Missouri Pacific and
Western Pacific railroad. Mr.. Sutro
said in part:
Proposed plans OF the Missouri Pa
cific and Western Pacific, as outlined
to me, will, If carried out, make the
Denver system again the pawn of
the interests, and, in my opinion. will
seriously jeopardize the interests of
refunding and adjustment bondhold-
ers. In fact, they might eventually
be wiped out.
THE Denver system as an irrde-
pendent property is able to stand on
it's own legs. Entire equity in the
system belongs to the bondholders.
As results of receivership brought
about by efforts OF our committee,
Denver is being put in proper condi-
tion to perform it's full duty to the
public and the state of Colorado.
Under the circumstances, bond
holders should certainly not permit
either excess earning or equity to
be turned over to foreign interests"
No action yet has been taken by
the Missouri Pacific and Western Pa
cific directors.
