BETTER THAN GRANITE SHAFT
County Hospital Fund Increased By
Outside Donation

The county hospital project con-
tinues to receive donations from its
friends outside the county. A dona-
ton and the following letter was re-
ceived from John D. Haskell, Jr.,
who is now in Dayton, Ohio:
''The county hospital struck me as
an excellent idea for memorial and
is certainly much more worthy pro-
mulger of patriotic sentiment than a
granite shaft or monument.
Having reached this conclusion,
it has occurred to me that living
away from ones home town does
not Of necessity make for complete
exemption from civic duty, and feel
that a contribution for the further
ance of the hospital program would
be quite fitting. therefore hasten
to forward the enclosed check to
help as It may. Wish you every pos
sible success in this work"
