The spacious hall was filled to overflowing and standing room was at a" premium when the program was begun by John G. M.

He announced the committee that had been appointed, which is as follows: .John G. M. Barnes, James E. Ellison T. A. Phillips, E. C. Dibble, John W. Thornley and David E. Layton; C. A. Epperson and Clifford Strong, secretaries. Mr. Barnes then turned the meeting over to Mr. James E, Ellison, the chairman of the meeting. After the invocation by Henry H. Blood, the Kaysville band played a patriotic selection and the Kaysville mixed quartette sang. Chairman Ellison then- called the roll of volunteers, many of -- whom were present and seated in the front of the hall. The announcement was made that a subscription list would be passed around the hall and that the committee had decided to purchase tokens for the volunteers. Signet rings were chosen as being appropriate for the purpose. Each ring will be engraved with the recipients initials on the inside with the name of their home town and the date of presentation. It was decided that the rings would be presented by the committe at the time the volunteers are mustered into the Federal service. ' While the subscription papers were being passed around Mrs. Lucius Laudie recited MMe and Jim, a touching little story of two boys who grew up together and entered the service in defense of the flag. Mrs. Laudie received much applause for her rendition of the piece. Chairman Ellison then introduced Charles R. Mabey as the speaker of the evening.'

In closing'" the speaker called on all present to do their utmost to help the government and do their part in securing liberty for all peoples.' Of all the addresses made by Mr. Mabey in this county this was his most masterly effort, and no doubt brought home to those present the seriousness of the present crisis as they never before realized. Throughout the address there were many outbursts of applause. Robert Birkin sang The Flag Without a Stain," after which William E. Doxey of Bountiful recited a piece giving an account of the vicissitudes of a Union soldier during and after the Civil war.
