Very truly yours,
(Signed) VIM. Bittle Wells.


These letters were discussed at
the meeting on Wednesday even
ing and it was decided to accept
the offer of Mr.. Wells, who has
charge of the community public
ity for the railroad company, and
if satifactory to him the Booster
Club will hold a public mass
meeting at Arlington on Monday,
March q, and one in this city on
the following evening. Every
one is requested to be present at
these meetings as Mr.. Wells will
address the people and explain
fully the methods to be used in
advertising the county. AS the
last letter above states, the Club
must raise at least $1,000 tosecure
the cooperation of the railroad
company and there is no doubt
that this amount can be raised
with ease. Anyone who has
seen the handsome booklets put
out by the railroad company in
advertising other communities
and are acquainted with the re-
suits obtained therefrom must
realize the great benefits which
the county will reap from this
move. 1t was further decided at
the meeting that 1000 booster
buttons be purchased and sold to
the citizens of this county, the
amount derived to be added to
the advertising fund.
Anyone who wears one
of these buttons will be recog-
nized as one of those who have
at heart the upbuilding of the
county and those who do not
wear them will be known as the
back numbers" that is those
who have no interest in the well
fare of the community. Many
of the public spirited citizens OF
the county have pledged their
support to the Boosters and this
advertising campaign will be car
ried through regardless of the
few knockers who already have
their hammers out and by so do
ing are placing themselves with
those who have no other than
selfish interest in the welfare Of
the county.

Your letter of the 10th to Mr..
McMurray has been referred to
this department for considera-
tion.
1--WE have an extensive plan
whereby we aid communities in
their developement but it is al
most impossible to explain this
satisfactorily by letter. The
plan contemplates the expendi-
ture of approximately four dol
lars by us for every dollar that
is raised by a community. We
ask however that the minimum
amount which community
raises shall not be less than $12,
90. We issue under this plan
four kinds of literature, give the
community varied kinds of ad.
vertising and hold ourselves in
readiness to do everything posi-
BILE to bring results to the com
munities which adopt our plan.

10 the Editor
This is the sea
son of the year when the resi-
dents of Condor are cleaning up
their yards and alleys and it
seems to me that some steps
should be taken by the city au-
thorities to make the main
streets and alleys mtre present.
able and in general, provide for a
more sanitary condition for the
city. In many places the streets
are not up to the standards us
ually observed in cities of this
size and some of the alleys are
simply impossible to describe.
AS a resident of the city I am in
a position to know that many are
becoming disgusted with the pre-
sent state Of uncleanliness.
viii you kindly publish this to
let the authorities know what
many taxpayers think of their
lax methods.
