MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS NEEDED
FOR WAR HISTORY.

Say, folks! A lot OF you missed the
point in that story in last weeks pa
per about history of Delaware Coun-
ty's Part in the World War. If you
didn't, where is your coupon? There
won't be history unless enough
of you agree in advance to buy the
books. Some of you are going to be
mighty disappointed when you find the
plan has to be given up as it will be
unless you get busy with the coupon
pledges. A great many have subscrib-
ed for copies but several hundred more
are needed.
Just now there is competent man
willing to undertake this job but he
won't wait indefinitely. If the people
of Delaware County don't speak up
and say they want the books the mat
ter will have to be dropped and we will
not have a record of which we will be
proud.
You all know the sort of book that
an outside concern prepared few
years ago and sold for fifteen dollars
after charging everybody whose mama
appeared in it anything they could gel,
This is the sort of history we can ex-
pect if we leave it to any outside con-
cern to prepare. You will pay several
times the price for a book that will not
be complete or accurate. There is a
concern working in adjoining counties
which is charging $1250 per copy for
q book which contains only photo
graphs and has no history whatever OF
the Red Cross, Liberty Loan, Council
of Defense, Etc. Read last weeks a.
ticle again and see what you vii! get
for only $500, if this history is made
possible.
II you will act at once and send In
your subscription (which is binding
only in case the book is published> the
I material can be gathered as rapidly as
possible and every effort will be made
to get complete and accurate record
of all patriotic activities during the
war and the pictures and record OF
every man in the service.
II that appeals to you rs worth five
uOiidTS uOu lay uOWu tuiS pdpct uA
til you have clipped the coupon and
mailed it. Enough of you want the
book II you will only say SO, but the
Commercial Club is not able to guaran-
tee the expense without assurance OF
getting returns. The Commercial club
will get no part Of the subscriptions
and no one will profit cent from the
book except the man who gives his
time and skill to getting the material
together and editing it and he is will
ing to accept reasonable compensa-
tion rather than the big profit that an
outside concern would make. They
must have an immense profit to keep
up their pig offices in Chicago and
elsewhere and pay dozens of high
salaried solicitors, etc. Let's get a
better book than they can produce
and save money for ourselves to spend
in Delaware County. Here is just the

course will be held in the High school
Auditorium Friday evening, Febru-
airy 2l, at eight o'clock. Mr.. Sidney
Landon is rightfully called charac-
ter artist Through his interpreta-
tive art and by the use of wigs and
paints he gives his audiences start
ling impersonations of such men as
Twain, Longfellow, Holmes, Tenni-

works.
