In view of the fact that some of the
business men of lawton have been led
to believe that the Lawton Booster [
Hand was given an opportunity to go
on the Booster trip—will say—that
the only proposition that was made to
them was an ultimatum to the etfect
that they should go for the entire
three days for $50. The lawton Boost-
ers Band made the following propo-
sition—"That we would go for $150,
with 12 mei*or$100 for eight men
also one member of the band ofTered
his auto and $10. And furthermore we
guaranteed them that we would play 6
consecutive weekly coricertB for the

defray all the expense, thereby earn-
ing our money twice- Again the ulti-
matum."
