"Exhibitors can rest assured
that every precaution will be taken
to safeguard their valuable arti-
cles at the exposition" stated
President Kelly. "Watchmen will
also be assigned to keep careful
check on the premises"
Local motorists grasp the oppor-
tunity presented to obtain Settlers
Village markers for their cars and
many machines already can be
seen about the streets sporting the
attractively desisned ornament.

these markers will be used to de-
fray the expense Of creating the
settlement. As stated In the Demo-
crat some time ago, each addi-
tional group is contributing toward
the cost Of the unique village, by
subscribing funds for the erection
of their respective houses at the
exposition. The city has also
granted an appropriation Of $4,000.
