booster books from all over the
Pacific coast, and the collection
presents one of the greatest exhib-

The exhibit makes the advertis-

the secretary hopes that the con-
trast will cause the citizens here
to bestir themselves and take
more interest in advancing the
cause of this city.
He expects to inangurate a
campaign to add 1000 members to
