MORE THAN 400 PRESENT
AT PAfRl0Ti6s RsAILY

The sesond patriotic rally held
Sunday AFTERNOON in the Twin City
Opera House was better attended
than the first one, on May 10. The
attendance was estimated at better
than 400. It was sponsored by
Mayor w. A. Deedrick and Mayor
M. ID. Martin. the purpose OF which
is to get the people more war
minded. Earle Eyeland, manager
OF the Opera House, presided. The
stage. was Be6iitifully decorated
with flags and spring flowers.
The exercises opened with the
Star spangled Banner, by tran
scription. which was followed by
prayer by Rev. D. G. Holman, pas
tor of the Main Street Church of
Christ. Attorney Francis S. Doud-
ma led the audience in singing "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic and
America the Beautiful" with Miss
Kate. stanton, accompanist. Robert
benjamin., Miss Marjorie Sheridan.
accompanying sang Remember
PEARL Harbor." and the Taylor SIS
ters trio rendered ''Rose of No
Mans Land"
The first speaker was DR.. J. B.
Naylor, who although 80 years of
age, and his eyesight and physical
strength failing, is still fired with
his old-time patriotic fervor. While
he has never served in the field
of battle, no man in Morgan county
ever did more to win the war than
he, who through preaching Amer
icanism, both from the platform
and in his writing awakened the
citizens of this country to irealiza-
ton of their duties to back the boys
ing World war one, he made 100
speeches, not only lin this but in
surrounding counties, for which he
said he never took a dollar
."Why," he said, Because my own
kid was in the war, and I was do
ing all I could to back up the boys" ;"
He believes World war one was a
slim affair compared with the pres
ent war, which he termed the
esWorld Wide War" when practi-
.cally every nation is at war. He
said we are in more danger now
than ever before.
He called attention to the
fact that according to popula-
ton, Morgan county today has
more men in the service than
any other county in Ohio, and
said that during this month
$4,000 i'm war bonds have been
sold. The quota for the county
is $1,000 for the month of
May.
II America does it's part and we
are willing to make the sacrifice we
WIN win this war, said the speaker.
He prophecies that it will be long
struggle, and believes that when it
comes down to war we must get
hard boiled, since war is exactly
what General Sherman said it was
hell. Or. Naylor terms Japan
stooge for Hitler.
II you don't get enough sugar,
said the speaker, ''Don't idly criti-
cize your sofficials,' and he pleaded
with the people to stand back of the
president, his cabinet, and con-
gress, since they are trying to do

TWO PATRIOTIC WINDOWS

A window in the office of the
Ohio Power company here. and OF
the Twin City Electric company;
both in patriotic trim, reminders
of Memorial day, are attracting
quite little attention. One win
dow has photos Of the leading gem
erals of the Civil, Spanish-Ameri-
can, World war one, and World
war two; also page taken from
the Ohio State Journal Of some
years ago, which is cartoon drawn
by the late Harry Westerman, and
the poem in connection with it was
written by DIR. j. B. Naylor, title OF
which is ''The Old Boys Marching

our boys collected overseas, Civil
