PROCLAMATION
To All Whom These Presents,
Shall Come, Greetings:
Whereas, our immortal pres
ident, Woodrow Wilson, and
his great secretary of-the treas
ury, William G. McAdoo, have
authorized a Third Liberty
Loan which will aggregate
five billions of dollars, througji
out the country for the pur
pose of financing the defend
ers of our liberty, our National
honor and our democratic form
of government against the au
tocracy and despotism of the
Central Teutonic powers, and
. Whereas, the drive by our
patriotic workers throughout
the state to raise Arkansas’
quota, which as yet has not
been definitely fixed but which
will probably exceed thirty
five millions of dollars, will be
gin Saturday, April 6th., and
will continue throughout the
month of April, and
Whereas, it is important
that all of our citizens who are
able should individually sub
! scribe for these liberty bonds
and not leave any-surplus for
the banks to carry, as has been
the case in former liberty loans
because, “where a man’s treas
ure is, there is his heart also”
and an investment in these
bonds, which are absolutely
gilt edged and which will bear
interest at the rate of 41/2 per
ent, means a corresponding
investment in patriotism, and
Whereas, the great German
offensive on the western front
has begun with its tremendous
concentration of guns and over
forty divisions of approximate
ly five hundred thousand men
on the small sector, imperiling
’or the time being, the liberties
j of the world, and threatening
to extend to the American sec
ion near Verdun, where near
ly five hundred thousand of
the brave American troops are
stationed, and
wnereas, it is important
that our people be .thoroughly
aroused in every nook and
hamlet of our state and our
country, with the seriousness
of the situation and to the
dreadful consequences of each
citizen not doing his very best
as well as his bit at this par
ticular time.
Now, therefore, I, Chas. H.
Brough, Governor of the State
of Arkansas, by virtue of the
authority vested in me under
the constitution and laws of
said state, and acting in my of
ficial capacity do hereby set
aside and proclaim Saturday,
April, 6., as Patriotic Day in
the State of Arkansas, and call
upon all places of business to
close between the hours of
one and three in order that the
people of each community may
listen to patriotic addresses on
the titantic struggle now rag
ing in Europe. As your Gov
ernor, I call upon the people of
our beloved Arkansas, to re
pair to some appropriate, con
veniten place in their respec
tive communities and devote
the time of two hours between
one and three to patriotic exer
cises: and I call upon the min
isters of every denomination
in the State to deliver patriot
ic services and addresses in
fcheir several churches on Sun
day, April 7th, recognizing as
\ve do, that “The God of our
far-flung battle line” holds
vithin the hollow of His Divine
Hand, the destinies of nations
as well as individuals. Let us
keep burning brightly on the
altars of our heart of hearts,
hie vestal fires of American
patriotism, lighted by Wash
ington and the Revolutionary
aeroes and made brighter by
hie sacrifices of thousands of
orave men and women during
;he one hundred and forty-two
years of American independ
ance. Let us realize that,
“We are living, we are dwel
ling
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling
To be living is sublime.”
In testimony whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the Great
Seal of the State of Arkansas,
at the Executive Chamber, Lit
he Rock, this the 23rd, day of
March, A. D., 1918.
BETTER FARING HINTS
County Agents, county and
community leaders throughout
Arkansas will be busy during
he next ten days in distribut
ing and giving the farmers of
\rkansas an opportunity to
lign the Food Production
Pledge for 1918. This pledge
alls for specific information
concerning the number of
acres that each farmer will
levote to food production dur
ing the year. The pledges
signed in each county will be
gone over by a local committee
ind men who show a desire to
help out in the present crisis
and will do their part in an ef
fort to make Arkansas feed
rnrself will be given honor
cards showing that their farms
ire pledged to produce a gen
erous share of food and feed
crops. Every farmer should
have one of these Honor cards
on display before the planting
season is over. A sample of
ffie Food Production Pledge
card and Honor card will be
found on display in this office.
Farmers who need seed and
cannot secure it from neigh
bors and local merchants,
should write to J. H. Tull,
Field Agent in Marketing with

sity of Arkansas, Old State
house, Little Rock, Arkansas,
and he can give you the infor
mation you need.
All requests for information
concerning seed supplies will
be taken care of promptly. We
hope that Arkansas farmers
vho wish to buy will avail
' hemselves of Arkansas seed

proposition but seed growm in
this state is, undoubtedly, bet
ter adapted to local conditions
and will give greater returns.
We are making special effort
to invoice all the seed availa
ble in Arkansas, and farmers
who have a surplus should send
in their names and we will
help them find a market. All
kinds of information concern
ing seed and seed supplies will
be furnished upon request.
