The badges for the delegates and
guests at the State Firemen's con-
vention to be held In Little Falls
June Is, Is and II will be something
unique and handsome, and will be
appropriate souvenirs OF the occa-
sion. The delegates badges will
consist of bell-shaped piece OF Gel
iulOid upon which will be printed the
title and date of the meeting and the
word collegiate" and to this will he
attached circular twO-inch me-
dalton, upon which will be photo
Rraphed an excellent view OF the
dam from the lower side, showing
the fall Of water over most OF It's
length. In the top part Of the circle
will be the words little Falls.
MIMI" The officers badges will be
the same form az the delegates, ex-.
cept that a distinguishing color OF
ribbon will he used to attach the
clasp to the bell. and the officers
title will be ON the bell. The guests
badges will be ribbon upon which
the name and date OF the meeting
will be printed, with the word
"Guest," and attached to this will
be medallions similar to the ones
with the delegate badges. Several
hundred Of each are ordered. and
they are being made by the White
head X Hoag Co., of Newark, N. j.
They will he the prettiest badges ever
used at local convention, and will
certainly be in great demand.
Something like 100 volunteer fire.
men OF this city are deeply interested
in the success uf the Firemen's State
convention to be held in this city the
middle of the month, and the boys
have contributed from their personal
funds about one-third Of the amount
necessary to defray the expenses OF a
creditable entertainment. The citf-
zens are asked to aid. to secure the
balance, and the firemen feel that it
should be willingly given. While the
firemen who, day or night. whenever
called, for years have protected the
property of the city from destruc-
ton, do not demand any reward,
they do feel that the owners OF the
property benefited should aid them
10 their plans to enter
tain the other flremen OF the state.
II the larger interests all do fair
share toward raising the money, the
burden will not be great on any. 1t
is hoped that efforts of the subscrip-
ton committee will meet with
prompt response, and that necessary
funds will be easily obtained.
