1t 50 happens last week that the
the Park Tables, Benches, etc. came
out a day zoo late, as the president
of the Civic League, Mrs. Freda Nc
Wicker, reports that all the Park Fur
niture was put in the dry and away
from the winter weather on Wednes-
day. This was done after six weeks
efforts on her part and then only after
4 specific order was spread upon the
minutes of the league The Being
on Civic League has been voluntary

not that they wanted the exclusive
care, but to help "Beautify Belington"
in accordance with their motto. me
PRESIDENT further stated that she hop
ed that every citizen of the town
would take an Individual responsible
ity in helping to keep the Park clean
and beautiful. While the organiza-
ton has done great deal in this
direction, they feel that all who visit
the Park should consider it "Our
Park"
The Civic League does not stop in
helping to beautify the Park, they
have in mind to start campaign
early next Spring that will Cleanup
and "Beautify" the city by blocks
and then go over the town and mark
the best cleaned-up block as prize

w. H. Barte, one of our enterpris-
ing merchants, believes in advertising
even if the other fellow does it (but
he does it too). Last week was
Broom Week, and Mr.. Barte says
he sold more brooms during the ex-
element than he had sold for a
month. Naturally so, advertising
creates concentration, and that brings
sales. We hope the merchants have
learned that an advertisement, if moth
ing more than their business cards,
is the magnet that pulls the business
their way. Then when they get the
business it should be handled with
care and service. We are not looking
for the advertiser who cannot do his
part in making the sale and pleasing
the customer.
We can only lead the buyer to the
door
That's our business and nothing
more.

Herewith. Last summer Mr.. Gamer

Reunion and planned to return them
forthwith, but each family reunion
requested them left for their use
thereafter, so he left them, yet he was
held responsible all along for them,
until returned. New surfaced boards

SILVER'S REVUE
WELL RECEIVED

Less than a half house turned out
last night to hear and see Frank Sill
ver's Revue, which was composed of
splendid jazz orchestra and a half
dozen girls. The costumes were at
tractive, what there was of them.
Those who appreciate jazz should
have been highly pleased. The type
of jazz music was more or less SUBJ
dued and pleasing to even those who
do not ordinarily care for jazz.
Teddy Joyce, long youngster, on
the violin was far above the average,
especially so since he was playing
with an injured hand. Danny Beck
is a wonder on the drums. Burke
Lees dancing pleased the house in
dance speciality. Ethel Wolf, in blue
songs and dances can't sing, but APP
peals to her audience nevertheless.
The house was entirely satisfied
with the evenings performance, fol
each number was greeted with more
than generous applause. L. E.
