 Calhoun county is eager to preserve the history of her organizations that have had part in making Alabama famous throughout the European world, and also the archives of the various units and t = trophies of war brought back by the sol dfers The state memorial building will prove invaluable for this purpose. It will also contain paintings of battles in which Alabama men took part and statues of the men who led the Alabama troops and of those who received recognition for bravery.
 The memorial is to be built of Ala bama marble, and will be a perfect arch itectural gem. Of all the patriotic ap- peals that have been made. few have been so praiseworthy as this call for money to build a memorial edfice in honor of Alabama's intrepid soldiers. Calhoun has a fine corps of campaign leaders who will not stop until the county goes over the top
 most pubiic-spirited men, is leading Cal houn county as chairman of the memorial drive, and also acting as city chairman for Anniston.
 Few women have labored more loyalty during the busy war times and recon struction days than Mrs. Joseph E. Alder hold, the Calhoun county chairman of the womans committee of the memorial campaign.

Mrs. Aderhold has secured the name and address of all the Calhoun county moth CTS who have paid this supreme price for victory.

 Mrs Aderhold, who is the beloved pres ident of the William Henry Forney chap ter, IT. D.
