' A , number of our boys sacrificed their lives for the cause of freedom and the advancement of civilization. The people of Polk County are anxious to indicate their appreciation of this valorous service during ,th perilous days of .war by some credit able and lasting symbol. It is thought the erection of a suitable monument will in part ctfrry, out this symbol. To secure the cooperation of all, this Association has r been formed, and the officers appeal to every; man and woman, boy and girl, to form subordinate association,, pav the small dues and help raise an adequate fund. As To Raising Funds. A subordinate association may use any plan for raising money which may be most popular in the commun ity, whether by socials, box suppers or entertainments. Pastors ana teach ers are invited to cooperate with com- , mitteemen. As To Memership Dues Expense of printing, postage, &c., will be paid from membership dues that every dollar ; subscribed for the' monument may: be held ur trust and .. used for the great memorial. ' Dues and contributions should be sent to the Secretary-Treasurer whe- wil receipt for the same and keep proper record thereof. r Who, Are tllgable All white persons; eVerr white ma; or woman, boy or girl, with a spark of loyalty or patriotism will be elig able for memership. - As To Style Of Monument. This matter will be carfully consid-: ered by the Board of, Directors : and - suitable plans adopted so soon as th necessary funds are available. As To The f lace for Monument, , The court House square in Colum bus is considered the most suitable location. A special act of the legis lature may be secured making, the -Board of Education and the County. Commissioners jointly custodians. v Who Are to be Commemorated. The originators of the plan hav suggested placing slabs on each side of the monument, inscribed, to com- memorate those who paid the suprem sacrifice; those who rendered service in , the Army or Navy, at home hr camp, or. across the seas; the old vet-" erans of previous wars. - Time For Completeion It is hoped that-the mmrament-will be finished and ready for unveiling on July 4, 1920. -1 .
