GOVERNOR ISSUES PROCLAMATION ON ARMISTICE DAY.

An Armistice day proclamation was issued today by Governor James P. Goodrich, in which he calls upon all people in the state to observe the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice. His proclamation is as follows: “November 11, 1919, marks the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice which terminated hostilities in the great world war. The anniversary should be fittingly observed by every American, and there is no better, more practical way to observe the day than by lining up in the great fight against the high cost of living. “In accordance with a request of the United States treasury department, submitted to me through the war savings organization of the seventh federal reserve district, I hereby request and urge the people of the state of Indiana to set aside the anniversary day as a day to begin the practice of thrift and saying. If our nation is to receive relief from the present unrest and from the high prices of all necessities of life, it is necessary that our citizens shall save systematically and buy wisely. “I urge that every man, woman and child in Indiana realize for his own and the common good the importance of buying wisely to reduce the demand; using wisely to avoid waste; saving regularly to provide for the future, and producing more for his own and his country’s welfare. Let, us battle against extravagance; let us increase our swings and extend the knowledge of safe investment to all our people. Government securities represent the soundest, form of investment and our people should invest a part, at least, of their savings in war savings stamps andk U. S. treasury savings certificates. ~ ■ “JAMES P. GOODRICH, “Governor of Indiana.
