there is no time lik ethe present for
the creation of an active patriotic
association having for its purpose the
honor of our gallant soldiers now en-
listed, or yet to enlist in the service
of their country. The secretary Of
! the association will at once begin the
preparation of a special honor roll
of Mississippi soldiers who have given
their lives for their country. If
the parents Of these young patriots
will send photographs and short
sketches of their sons who have died
in the service it will greatly assist in
the preparation of the roll.
The o%ranization OF The Great War
Veteran Association of Mississippi is
the Inauguration of a movement
which will be followed by every state

ways be the one outstanding, all-im-
portant events in the worlds history.
The preservation of historical ma

generations is Of supreme import
ance. The state of Mississippi has
an organized agency in the Depart.
ment of Archives and History to or
