local business men would defray ap
proximately $100 expenses has been
postponed until the 29th. This ' was

state officials' of the association
thought it expedient to do so for other
reasons.

of W. H. Bohnenkamp and G. L. Clea
ver report that they have secured do
nations from every one they have wait
ed on and that the money required
to get the boosters here, will be sub

by auto owners, farmers and mer
chants, alike.
