UTAH PIONEERS EVIDENCE WILLINGNESS TO SERVE FLAG AND NATION
Patriotism in Utah is at its pinnacle of fervor, to judge by an incident which occurred in Salt Lake yesterday afternoon. Five patriarchal citizans went to the army recruiting station in the old Walker bank building and registered for service in the army upon call.
"We are minute men, " said one of them, "and we are ready at a moments notice, day or night, to serve our country. We have done military duty before and we are willing to do it again if need be. We simply want to show our patriotism at this time."
