this afternoon and tonight for the
leaders in that move to acquaint all

Fifty thousand dollars is being
asked of Valley business men TO

There is no doubt but what the

is offering a product with some cot
ton in it. Chances are that the
Valley will not expend $4,000 for
that but ii will for a Valley-wide
