To date comparatively few applications have been made. It is the desire of the American Legion that these medals be presented to ex-service men with appropriate public ceremonies on Armistice Day. In every city and town where a post exists this plan will be carried out. It is hoped that the most successful and inspiring celebration ever seen in this community, but to assure this we must have the most earnest and hearty co-operation of the ex-service men. Every person entitled to one - of these medals should be very anxious to get their application in as early as possible. Do not wait for the last minute rush or you will be disappointed on Armistice Day. Bring or mail your discharge to Mr. J. L. McConnell at the recorder’s office in the court house, or to Mr. Jos. C. Laurent at the postoffice and they will be cared for. Do so at once.
