Sons of Veterans.
II. II is most natural that fifty
years after the outbreak of the civil
war the men who fought that war
should require staff to lean upon.
God has given us such a staff in the
persons Of our own loyal sons We are
proud of them and they are proud Of
us. We can display our pride in no
better way than by persuading them to
Join Camp of the Sons of Veterans
and thus proclaim to the world the
glory Of their fathers. They can in no
halter
the value of their inheritance. What
the worthy son is to the noble sire.
the Sons OF Veterans may be to the
Grand Army Of the Republic very
ready help in time Of need.
The time has come when Camp
can be great help to a Post. espe-
ciaily on Memorial Day when the
graves TO be decorated are greatly in
creasing, while the comrades left to
decorate them are growing less year
by year. In view of these conditions
ii is recommended that Posts through
out the country take immediate steps
looking 20 the formation OF Camps of
the Sons of Veterans. They do not ask
to join us or take part in our meet
ings. All they desire is to help The
Posts when called upon.
For information and assistance in
organizing Camps. address Fred e. Boil
ton. Commander-in-Chief Sons of Vet
Grams u. S. A, Is Beacon ST., Boston.

Daughters of Veterans
III. There is another organization
which can be made of great benefit to
Posts, the National Alliance, Daugh-
ters of Veterans. which was officially
recognized by the Thirty-four;h Ma
tional Encampment at Chicago in 1905.
and is the only recognized Order of
that character.
IFS members are bone of our bone,
and flesh of our flesh" They are
banded together to benefit the Grand
Army, not TO burden it. Many Posts
have Tents of the Daughters of Vet
5erans attached 10 them, and have found
them very useful indeed. They are
not only self-supporting. but in many
cases they nave contributed largely to
the post treasures
Posts are strongly recommended to
encourage the organization of Tents in
their localities. for in no better way
can the glories of our soldier lives be
preserved and our memories perpet-
uated
For information and assistance In |
forming Tents. address Miss Anna M.
Kelly, National President, 1903 Berke-
ley avenue, Pueblo, Colo.
