OKLAH0MA'S SOLDIER
DEAD Be H0N0RED
TALL SHAFT TO BE ERECTED
AT CAPITAL CITY, is
PLAN.

Oklahoma City, July 2o.-Plans
for fitting memorial for Okla
homa solderse who make the great
sacrifice in the world war have been
adopted by the board OF directors
OF the chamber of commerce.
Steps will be taken Immediately
for the erection of a temporary
shaft in front OF the War Savings
Bank at the head of Main street.
1t is expected that sufficient funds
will be subscribed to the project
before the close of the war to erect
splendid shaft in granite and
bronze in a suitably parked portion
OF a downtown city block.
The greater Oklahoma commit
tee of the Oklahoma City chamber
OF commerce fathered the idea. The
suggestion was passed along to the
board OF directors of the chamber,
which presented the matter to the
county council OF defense for ap-
proval. The county council en-
dorsed the project by unanimous
vote last Monday. The board of
directors of the chamber unani-
mously approved the plan yester-
day and urged immediate action on
the preliminary work.
George Frederickson, president.
was given the power to form l
memorial committee, inviting each
civic organization in the city to
ha, a representative on the central
board.
Temporary Shaft.
"Details OF the proposition WILL
OF course, be left to the commit
tee in charge" said Leroy NJ. Gibbs,
secretary OF the chamber. 1T Is
the present idea to construct col
umn of stucco or cnamelcd wood
over 4 base of granite.
The main feature of the prelim-
mary monument will be a huge
chest, made with small heavy plate
glass insets in each side SO the
public can see the fund grow. The
chest will be built into the enor-
nous slab of granite to be used for
the base and constructed in such
4 manner that, while the public can
see the monument fund grow, no
one can cart away the depository.
Names on Monument.
"The temporary shaft will be
about so feet high. On the sides
the names of the Oklahomans who
are killed in action will be inscribed

Dark Day in June Coming

ARGUS readers may mark it down on their memory tablet that there'll be a dark day in June" It's coming on June 8th when there will be a total eclipse of the sun.
 It is a peculiar coincidence that one of the most famous total eclipses of the sun occurred during the war between the states and now that the whole world is at war we are to have another in which there will be total darkness. It is predicted that the day will be so dark that traffic will be suspended.

I'm moving further up on Pea Ridge and you'll hear from me there, hearafter. Pm going to hand you letter from one of our clever soldier boys who is now at Camp Jackson, South Carolina. It is as follows: Camp Jackson, s. C., Jan. 1, IS Dear Friend:
 Pm glad to know that dear old Shiloh. is never short on any good work but always comes to the front on whatever she under takes. The boys who are in the service from the Shiloh commu- nifty are glad indeed to know that Bro. Hoy, our former pastor, is going to join them in the great war. Our community has done it's part nobly, always with wide open charity. We also think they made a good decision in their votes for the prettiest girl recently told of in your letter in the paper.
