Hayball Returns Home (Continued from Page 1.) certainly a great pleasure, as near-, ly all of us had not had the honor of meeting these two distinguished gentlemen. We again returned to the auditorium, auditor-ium, where the Hon. James H. Moyle, of! Salt Lake City, was chairman chair-man of the afternoon session,' At which time, after a short address by Chairman Federal Reserve Board and Vice Chairman of War Savings Committee Com-mittee .the 'meeting was then thrown open. for discussion and many questions ques-tions were asked and answered.to the satisfaction of all present. The opia: Ion of. all the delegates present was that there, Is only one thing for the various fraternal organisations to do and that Is to get behind the government gov-ernment at this time and do everything every-thing ia our power to furnish the money, which is the one thing necessary nec-essary In, order to prosecute this war to exterminate organlxed unrighteousness, unright-eousness, and to establish peace among' the nations of, the world. And now, Brothers, I. would again urgo that you take up thei matter as outlined In the Grand1 Sire's proclamation No. 6, wherein ho urges, that no Odd Fellow should permit himself to be dropped for non-payment of dues during this time of deep tribulation. Many of the young Odd Fellows of Utah havef enlisted In the great world wide war. The Mood of some of these men, and others will be sacrificed sacri-ficed on: many a battlefield. Eves. now, many of them are enduring physical hardships and torture almost al-most unbearable; 'in order that yeu and I aad. the eltlsenshlp of this great eommoBwealth may, continue to enjoy that sweet liberty and freedom free-dom which -has been ours to enjoy for many years. Let us hope that no one who Is privileged, to' hold' membership in our great' Order ahall ever be guilty of an utterance during the crisis through which we are now passing that shall In any way have the least tinge or tone of being unpatriotic: .riasA ifap? igjiysSLiia He who so far forgets himself as'.te r( ' give an unpatriotic, utterance; or'fH.
