attention 90 the plans for the raising
of the necessary $4,000.

Must Get Quick Action.
The citizens of Albuquerque are
asked to meet the committees with
the utmost courtesy and to give them
attention as soon as possible Nearly
every team has at least thirty calls
to make, and it will be a long days
work under the best Of conditions and
treatment There is but one day for
this work, and for that reason all are
asked to give promptly and not to put
the committee off with the plea that
they must call again, that the party
visited will have to take II up with /
a partner or that he has not yet made
UP his mind. The committeeman feel
that they are giving their time for tho
