In 1917, after three years of the greatest carnage the~world ever knew, our great republic (which had hoped to have kept out of this great European struggle) was called upon not to only save our great republic, but to help save the wérld. Word was sent out from W; ington in April, 1917, that there was a state of war existing tween Germany, Austria and the United States, and a call for troops to cross the great seas, and immediately our boys donned the khaki and respond- ed unreluctantly to this call, when on November 9, 1918, the enemy made a proposition to the allied armies to cease hos- tilities, and on November 11 the Armistice was signed. You all know the rejoicing on that day after hearing the joyful news. ever remember this day and will set it apart as one of our greatest national days. Now, therefore, I, L. F. John- son, mayor of the city of Be- midji, Minnesota, do hereby des- ignate and set apart, Thursday, the Eleventh Day of November, as Armistice Day. Let there be a proper celebration of the pur- pose of the day and may social gatherings of friends lend cheer and enjoyment. I ask the peo- ple to lay_aside their business for a part of the day, and ask that all business places be closed from 12 M for the rest of the day. L. F. JOHNSON, Mayor.
