In order to carry out It's publicity

mittee last Tuesday evening voted tc
make circus day, Saturday, August 2,
''Tag Day. in Watertown, at which
time the old soldiers. the Sons OF
Veterans and others interested will
be on the street with a liberal supply
OF tags for sale at Csc, or more #
the buyers desire to contribute more
toward the monument fund. 1t had
been the intention of the committee
to have the badges ready but the or
der will be delayed; as the photo
graph which Will be reproduced on
the badges, has not yet arrived from
the Mellette family. The tags will
be assorted colors and it is the in
tention of the committee to see that
everybody wears n during the day.
The Tuesday night meeting was a
Joint meeting of the Sons and old vet
Grams and proved to be a very en-
thusiastic and profitable enc. Among
the features OF the committees plans
discussed was that Of enlisting the
aid of the county to the extent OF

zens' committee. hope to create a SEN
timent strong enough throughout the
county so that the commissioners will
feel justified in voting this sum, Iii
asmuch as the first contributions are
TO come from this city it is absolutely
Imperative that a good showing is
made before the committee begins
its state soliciting. No doubt the
ladies of the Relief Corps had this in
mind when, at their last meeting, they
voted the sum of $4,000 toward this
work. The men certainly must take
off their hats to the ladies i'll being
the first to furnish substantial aid TO
the committee.
Those at the head OF the work real
ize that as this is 4 comparatively
new country, the proposition OF erect
ing monuments to distinguished citi-
gems is a matter in which the people
must be educated. However. the
people well realize the work and high
character of Governor Melietta and
the committee believes thar it will
have no ~aielculty in securing the fin.
