AN APPEAL TO GRENADA
COUNTY.

jackson, Miss, June 19.-With
the opening date for the Mississippi
Memorial Associations drive for
half million dollars rapidly ap-
preaching, it is becoming increasingly
evident that a pretty fight will de-
velop among the states leading cities
for the location of the handsome
State Memorial to the young Miss
issippians who served in the World
War
Vicksburg, under the leadership of
Major Fritz-Hugh, aided by Judge
Harris Dickson, has already begun
it's drive for. $4,000, Warran coun-
tvs quota. Jackson's forces are Or
ganized, with leading business and
professional men on committees.
Clarksdale. with Ed Brewer as chair
man, will make hard fight for the
building. The Gulf Coast, with E.
II. Blakeslee as it's leader, expects to
be in the running, and it has been ru-
mored that this section will be the
clark horse" in the race.
County chairman, upon whom the
task of selecting a site for the build
ing will fall, are already being be-
sieeed with the claims of the various
cities. They will meet in Jackson
upon the successful completion of the
drive, and together with the state
executive committee will settle the
most momentuous question in connec-
ton with the entire project.
The patriotic spirit of the states
leading cities is being plainly shown
in that the contenders for the build
ing are all expecting to raise their full
allotments first, and then to make a
fight for the building.
Commentator of the design of the
proposed Memorial has come from
many sources recently, and the idea
of having great auditorium and war
museum, in addition to the purely
Memorial part of the building has
been especially praised.
The building will not be a silent
mauseleum, but a Memorial where
ideals of the past maybe carried in
to the future.
Memorial Drive is To Be States
Last.
Tired of drives?
Everybody is, of course.
The Mississippi Memorial Cam
naign. which is set for June 26, July
S. and which has as its aim the erec-
ton of a half million dollar Memo
rial building to the states fighters,
will be the last one for long time.
It is the very keystone to the arch
of service erected by patriotic Mis-
sissippians-the final great effort.

worst of the mixup. Lohse was
unscratched, probably accounted

was running east on Tenth avenue
and Lohse was driving south on
