ANNOUNCEMENT

At the repeated requests of per-
sons planning to participate, The
Times-Recorder announces that its
trip circulation campaign has been
postponed for a brief period.
After a number of young ladies
had entered they found it difficult
to work because Of unusual heat
and alternating frequent showers
daily. They also asked that the
campaign be postponed until the
new crops begin moving, which
would enable them to do more eff
fective work.
1t is the intention of the Times
Recorder to launch the campaign
on q much greater scale in the
early fall. In the meantime, it
will continue to puts it's papers
into nearly all nearby towns on
the afternoon of publication, as
at present.
