Field, Schlick & Co., Reeves drug store

store, Conger's drug store. The supply

and other youthful patriots, have asked
to be given badges to sell and have been
made superlatively happy by securing
the desired permission.
WEAR YOUR BADGES.
All persons who have bought badges
are urged by the committee to wear them
on the outside of the, coat where they
| can be seen. Compliance with this re-.
quest will save the canvassers a great
deal of unnecessary trouble through the
needless soliciting of persons already
provided The wearing of badges has a
moral effect on others, and is a constant
invitation to every one that sees a badge
to buy one. If the badge is left at
home or lent to somebody else, this moral
effect is lost. Another reason for wear
ing the badge is that no excuses for not
wearing it will be accepted, and most of
them will not be believed.
TIME TO HUSTLE.
1t is desired that all canvassers, espe-
cially the committeeman recently ap-
pointed, hustle between now and Tues
day, so that they may be able to report
Tuesday and the committee may know
| exactly where it stands.
