The McKinley Memorial Fund.
The work of raising funds for the
building of the National Memorial for
President McKinley, is now going on
all over the United States.
Rach state has been asked to raise
a certain amount. The National com
mittee asked that Oklahoma raise $2,-
000.
The governor has appornted a com-
mittee to take this matter in charge,
and Charles E. Billingsley, of Guthrie,
has been made chairman or this com-
mittee.
This is certainly a worthy cause,
and Oklahoma should not Be behind In
doing her part in the matter.
Those who desire to contribute to
this fund may send any omount they
feel like giving to Mr. Billingsley, and
the amount will be forwarded to the
National committee.
But thirty days are left to com-
plete this subscription, and it is hoped
that the public spirit will be prompt
in their liberality and respond to the
