undeserving of it, applications! for
them must be filled out and given
to the ladies of the chapter. , In
order that to have every veteran
get a cross the Daughters urge
upon the veterans to not fail-to
come for these blanks, which will,
in a few days, be in the hands of
Mrs. J. Q. Gilkey, 'who will gladly
give any information regarding
them.. It is the intention of the
