MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, the thirtieth day of May
h*a boon set opart by our state and
national government* as a dap to bo
in commemoration of our
brave soldier bops whs have given np
their lives on the altar of our country
that tha principles for which our gov-
it stands might be
enjoyed by us and bp
their posterity; and.
Whereas, at this critical time when
our country ie just entering th* great­
est conflict tb* world has ever «eon
for th* perpetuation of liberty and
equal rights to all, and ia requiring
that w* again offer th* choicest aad
bravest of our countrymen as a sac­
rifice to maintain thee* everlasting
principle*, it would seem particularly
melt that more than the usual con­
sideration should be given to a due
observance of this day in order that
y each aad all, in addition o
paying the usual loving tribute to th*
honored dead, take time for medita­
tion and thought, and endeavor to put
our minds in a proper receptive con­
dition to comprehend the seriousness
and importance of th* present situa­
tion and to appreciate to their fullest
extent the fortitude and love of our
try and its flag which is expected
of each of Us, but more especially
from those who will offer their per­
sonal etrvieea and, if need be, their
lives, that “government of the peo­
ple, by th* people and for th* people”
may not perish from the earth.
Therefore, I, E. E. Johnson, Mayor
of the City at CdquiUo, do hereby pro­
claim that Wednesday, the thirtieth
day of May, A. D. 1917, shall bo sot
apart as a legal holiday for all of the
residents of said City; and I respect­
fully request that all places at
be closed on that day
the hours at 9 o’clock A. M. aad 4
o’clock P. M. end that the good dti-
shall congregate at seme
bl* place there to do honor to
I whose lives have been
on the altar of liberty and forg
those who are about to offer
far a similar saerifioe.
Given under my hand this 22d day
of May, 1917.

Mayor.
