To secure the maximum number of
subscriptions in Van Buren county to
the national fund for the erection of
a memorial to the memory of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, will be the object of
a united effort TO be put forth by the
schools, churches and women's clubs
of the county during the memorial
campaign which opens next Monday,
October 20th, and closes on October
27th-the anniversary of the birth Of
the "Great American. The county
is being organized by school districts
under the direction of the township
chairmen appointed by County Chair
man Frank Wakeman of Paw Paw,
and letters are being addressed by
County School Commissioner E. V.
Root to all the teachers of the coun-
ty urging special programs in the
schools next week which will give the
students a patriotic inspiration and
interest in the national tribute to be
paid to the memory of the man who
personifed American ideals and left
his indelible imprint upon American
history. The clergymen have been
asked to deliver patriotic addresses
next Sunday as fitting opening of
Roosevelt Memorial week, and from
every pulpit in the county will be
echoed the sentiment which should
prompt an unanimous response to
the memorial appeal. Mrs V. w. Olds
of Hartford, the vice chairman of the
county organization, is directing the
campaign through the medium of the
women's clubs of the county. Through
all Of these avenues for the collection
of memorial funds, accurate records
of the contributions will be kept and
the names forwarded to the National
Roosevelt Memorial association at
New York for the formation of
permanent record. Each contributor
will also receive a certificate from
the national association attesting
their participation in the erection of
the memorial No more unique tri-
butte was ever paid an American than
that which will ensue from the drive
to be conducted throughout the nation
next week for funds for the Roose-
Welt memorial. Contributions have
been limited to S100, and the country
wide effort will be directed toward
securing the maximum number of
which will make the
a tribute from the great
mass of the American people-the
common people who found in Theo-
dore Roosevelt a strong, ardent and
fearless champion. Present plans
the erection of the
at Oyster Bay, where
Roosevelt home is located and where
the ex-president's body lies in the
simple cemetery-a spot which an
nation will make one Of
the historic spots on the American
continent. Van Buren county's quota
in the drive is s1,750. This amount
might be easily raised among COM
paratively few of Roesevelt's most
ardent admirers, but to do so would
defeat the spirit of the memorial
plan The quota has been apportion-
ed among the townships of the coun-
ty and the townships organized by
school districts for the purpose of
having every family in the county
