Member Buttons For
Fair Arejjeing Sold
I'f you nMice people here wear-
ing celluloid buttons, do not
jump at the conclusion that they
are campaign buttons of some
candidate for office.
They are buttons to boost the
1924 Mesquite Fair and serve
the doubl'e purpose of raising rev-
enue ifor premium list and expen-
ses and f> advertising the Fair.
The smaller buttons in red let-
tering. serve notice that the
wearer is a contributing member
of the. Fair Association, while
the larger ones, with blue letter-
ing, show that the wearer is an
honor contributor. The smaller
•c/nes sell for a dollar and the
larger -ones for 'five dollars,
Aleady quite a number of both
kinds have been sold, though no
special efforts to sell them have
;.s vet been made. Buttons can
1 e obtained at the Miesquiter of-
fice- either of the banks or any
1 tisiness house in town- The
names of the purchasers will be
published in the Mesquiter, the
first list appearing next week-
ly 'n't wait to be asked. Buy a
b.ttton and an honor button i'f
y >u can. but at any rate buy a
button and don't wait to be
asked.

her own comforts and looks only
to the comfurt of the patient, and
that every home should have

in the best manner-
The proper preparation of
