Hello Boost Back fast.

Some time ago the business Men 5
Assn. adopted plan for advertising

of three months. selecting names of
desirable persons supposed to be con-
templating change of location. Up to
the present time not more than 35 or 40
names have been furnished each Of the
papers 1t has been decided to attempt
to create more interest by calling on
the public thru the newspapers to fur
nish names. F. G. Myers. chairman of
the advertising committee, has printed
blanks providing for names. postottice
address, also something in relation to
the financial standing of these persons.
Most everybody ought to be able to
supply from five to ten names and you
are requested and urged to do so. Call
on Mr.. Myers or at the newspaper
Offices for these blanks. Do it as soon
as possible for it is proposed to start
any additional list all at the same time.
People who have recently come here
are solicited to join in this work as such
are more likely to be able to supply
desirable names more than any one else.
Now get busy and help carry out this
plan Of advertising for it will be of
great benefit in bringing people to Delta
county If properly handled.

MRS. STEPHAN WRITES
OF MILAN and VENICE.

| DEAR PAPA:
We left Venice this morning with re-
gret. and after very nice railroad
journey. reached Milan at O'Clock =
about 6 hours from Venice. Milan is a
big commercial city, more like our
cities. The Cathedral is, of course.
the main attraction for tourists and it
is wonderful. 1t is next to St. Peters
in size think, anyway it will hold
$1,000 people. The wonderful carving
on the outside. and the multitude of
slender spires, each crowned with a
statue, make it look like lace work.
When saw it this afternoon, was re-
minded of the definition of fine archi-
tecture-that beautiful architecture
is frozen music" There is as much
harmony in the details of this great
cathedral. as in the notes of music that
go to compose a piece of music. The
stained glass windows are also very
beautiful and the big bronze doors are
simply magnificent.
We passed today within few miles
of the battle-ground of Solferino. We
passed the lower end of one of the ltal-
ian lakes-lake Guaida, which was very
beautiful. with rugged mountains ris-
ing around it. and the water brilliant
blue. Coming from Rome to Florence,
We rode along the shores of Lake Tras-
imenus, where Hannibal defeated the
Roman army under Flaminus. in 2l7
b. C. | do so enjoy seeing these his
toric places of which used to study in
in my ancient history. and of which
have heard you talk.
The water in the lakes here. and at
! Venice, is as blue as the sky, except
for a greenish tint. 1t is pure azure
blue. never in my life seen such blue
skies as they have in Italy. They are a
soft, yet brilliant blue and look so deep
as if you could see miles into them.
l know now what they mean when they
write of the blue Italian sky" We
don't have skies so blue--even IN Colo
RADIO.
We were sorry to leave Venice. it
was SO beautiful and the weather was
so warm and bright. We had several
Gondola rides. The gondola costs only
70 cents an hour.
made 80 pictures with my kodak in
Venice, bought Is postal cards to keep.
and George bought IL doz. photo
graphs. We were simply Wild about
Venice. George wanted to stay all
summer. We had N fine hotel. our bed
room windows looked out on the Grand
Canal, and we could take a gondola
from the hotel any time. George loves
to be on the water, you know. and it
just suited him. We went in the little
steamers on three different trips out
among the surrounding islands.

What Bull" Smith
Did With the Team
The Same Kind of Management
During Whole Season Would
Have Placed Locals Higher.

From the time that Bull Smith
took the team to the close of, the
league season, the following is the
record made by the Clarksburg
team. The record shows that if the
same kind of work had been
done during the entire season Clarks-
burg would have finished much
higher up in the race in each case:
Won. Lost.

BY the above record 1t can easily
be seen that the locals did good work
under Smith. A lot Of their prev
ious Grabbing was stopped and the
team played ball to a finish with all
teams. 1t is only to be regretted
that the managerial reins were not
put in Smiths hands sooner.
