Flag Day and War Effort Reflected in North Dakota
In early 1918 editorials urge a proper Flag Day on April 6 marking one year since America's war declaration. They call for sturdy flags on public buildings and advocate irrigation via Williston Water Users as a path to lasting prosperity. The piece also includes a punchy World War I commentary from G R A P H I C with anti Kaiser jokes and calls for Liberty Loan donations, plus a political note from Sunset Magazine on a proposed five member war cabinet to coordinate war efforts.
