}e second floor at all, but there is
[ lovely living room for both men
women, and every convenience

[On the second floor are the club
aptlon rooms, dance hall, ladies'

[A committee will be In charge of

—one of the most deep!)' Interested
persons says:
Yes, the memorial work has cer-
tainly been very glow and the com-
mittees are not doing a thing. They
are putting off until tomorrow what
should be done today. But the
trees are growing on Memorial Ave-
nue just the same, the little park la
getting lovelier and more attractive
every day and is being well-tendod
by members of the Ladles Auxiliary
Cemetery association.
Before the memoriajl itself fxas
been erected tbe spot that Is to
receive It is endowed with the as-
surance of perpetual care, and this
was done by a little band of women;
it is their tribute of love to the
other women's sons who died, to the
other mother's heart that aches.
If the memorial is never erected,
If the dollar drive Is never made, if
the men of our county fall down on
the pledgos—still Memorial Avenue
exists, the grass is green and the
flowers are blooming on a spot
made sacred to the memory of our
heroes.
If Mr. Tom Shannon and others
direct the building of the memorial,
if they place a figure in some neg-
lected spot to the memory of our
boys, Memorial Avenue will still be
waiting and will be well cared for;
the flowers will bloom, the trees
will grow, and the grass will be
kept cut in Memorial Avenue.
