HOPE WANTS TO HONOR
SOLDIER BOYS AT HOME

The county memorial project Is
getting some encouragement from
papers OF towns outside Of Abilene.
Here Is the Hope Dispatch's contrl-
ten and said about erecting monu-
mcnts to our soldier boys, and almost
every town of any size Is wanting n
monument, and the larger towns and
county seats are pulling all the
strings within reach to have said
monuments located In their respect
i've towns
But the smaller towns also want
monuments to their soldier boys, es-
peclally those towns that have sent
a large number of their brave boys
to war like Hope did.
ut IL not the size of the mOnu
mept that counts, the small monu-
meN In a small town counts much
more to the people Of that town than
large monument in some other
town where many of the people will
never even see 1t. and, II ever, they
do see 1t they will have to make a
special trip for that purpose.
How would life size bronze
soldier standing in the center of
town where the little light now
stands, suit the people of Hope? 1t
seems to us that nothing else could
be more suitable, and our people
would see 1t every day. Such monu
ments, IL made In large numbers,
would cost little and every town
could have one to decorate and honor
on public days, and in our opinion
nothing could be nicer"
