A story is going the rounds that at a recent meeting in one of our cities in Washington county, a copy of the rules governing the blackout of the Northwest was read. At its conclusion a man in the rear of the hall yelled "It's all hooey.” That's what the people of Eng land, Belgium, Holland, Nether lands, thought -Better wake up you doubters. Co-operate with the federal officers—Don't wait until the planes come. No country is safe now—Co operate or else- you will go to jail. America will never lower her flag as long as there is one red blooded man or woman in this country.
