WAR
FUND SECURED

The United War Fund drive which
came to close Monday night met
with successful termination in this
county. Despite the fact that the
influenza epidemic hindered In the
work, the full quota of $4,000 was Sc
cured. An oversubscription was
planned but the present conditions
did not permit such task, the exact
amount contributed by the people of
Douglas county being $4,100.
The Victory Boys and Girls aided
greatly In putting Douglas county
over the top and the solicitors are al
SO to be commended for their splend-
i'd work.
The funds secured in this drive are
to be used by seven organizations do
ing war work In Europe. Not only
the soldiers are to receive the benefit,
but the suffering people of war-torn
Europe are to helped and fed during
the reconstruction period, and those
who did not give to the fund will al
ways have cause to regret it.

MEMORIAL TO
WAR HEROES

Some weeks ago the Record
Courier encouraged the erection of
a memorial by the people of Douglas
county in memory OF our boys who
had made the supreme sacrifice In the
war. Because Of the heavy financial
calls being made by the government,
as well as war charity work under
way, it was Thought best to postpone
the movement for the time being.
However, since the war has ended,
the movement has egain been pun
under way. A petition to this end has
been put into circulation and Is re-
ceiving the hearty support of all and
it is believed that within short time
funds will be Forthcoming.
1t is proposed 20 erect shaft on
the little grass plot in front of the
court house. This monument will
be dedicated to the boys who have
given their lives, and a bronze tablet
will carry the names of all the boys
of Douglas county that served in the
war.
The spot selected for the erection
of the memorial is ideal and In reality
is the only logical place for the shaft
to stand. 1t was from this place that
the boys were giver honor when the
took their departure for the training
camps. and therefore on that spot we
should make sacred by the erection OF
shaft of granite to stand In their
honor for all time
The people of Douglas county have
fulfilled every obligation asked by the
government; they have mot every de-
mand for war work funds of all recog-
nized associations. Now we are ask
ed to give to fund of most noble
purpose. Let us erect a beautiful
memorial to those boys who gave the
most precious gift they possessed
their lives-that the future genera
tions of Douglas county may know
our feeling. went cut to those fallen
heroes.
