Business for the Boosters Club.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Feb. 10, 1910.
Mr. S. PEGGY, Cresco. Iowa.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your adver-
tisement in the PLAIN DEALER of last
week, wish to say: We might be inter-
ested in your proposition if you will
kindly give us something definite re-
garding the article could you send us
a blue print sketch, or some outline as
to what the article is and it's good
points.
For man of your age the writer can
not help but fatter your Booster Spirit
and would seem that it was about time
for the younger boosters of your city
to sit up and take notice that you have
gone ahead with a mighty good exam
pie, and one if put into actual work
would mean much toward the up-build-
ing of your city-in fact it is the only
means. Create employment for labor
and your papers will not be advertising
houses for sale and rent. Would be
glad to go into more details with you
regarding the matter and await with
pleasure your reply.
Yours very respectfully,
F. A. HUBER,
Pres. Iowa Furniture Co.

She sought her room and threw her

She was IN no mood TO sleep. The
night was close and sultry. But there
was something else that made ner

And then she eXtinEuished the light,

Then she unlocked it and threw II open.
