EVERYBODY BUY A BADGE
Every Man, Woman and Child in
Butte Must Wear One.
MORE LADIES ARE NEEDED
Ten to Be Assigned to Each Company
to Distribute the Medals-Com-
mittees to Solicit Funds-To
Meet the Boys En- Route.

While the soldier boys are coming
into Butte it is proposed that every
\ thing in Butte that can make a noise
ter whistle will blow, every bell will
ring, everybody will yell and every
flag will be flung to the breeze.
1t is also proposed that every man.
woman and child in the city shall wear
a badge. Everybody who can possibly
afford 81 for a badge should buy one
as soon as they are on sale, and those
who can afford to buy one or more
should see that the poor are wearing
the souvenir badge. A few badges APP
peared on the streets yesterday. The
| ladies are now working on 5000 OF these
badges. The first made will be sent
to other parts of the state. After the
outside orders are filled the badges will
be placed on sale in Butte.
Orders have been received for 1,500
badges from outside the city. Others
on the outside wanting badges should
write or wire Lee Mantle at once. All
that Butte asks the balance of the state
to contribute towards bringing the SOL
diers to Montana, is to buy badges. 1t
is hoped there will be a general sale
throughout the state. The souvenirs
are exceedingly tasty and everybody
should be supplied.
A meeting Of the executive commit
tee was held yesterday afternoon at
which a programme for the days ex-
ercises was made up and some COM
mittees We're appointed. 1t was decided
that in order to facilitate matters at
the race track the medals of honor
shall be distributed by companies and
that eight or ten young ladies should
be assigned to each company. This de-
cision will necessitate a large number
of lady volunteers for this duty More
volunteers are also needed on the COM
mittee to wait on the tables at the
track. It is hoped that many more la
dies will be on hand at the w0men's
meeting Friday afternoon at the Audi
forum and be prepared to hand in their
names for service.
Several contributions We're received
at the office of Mr.. Mantle yesterday
and more interest is being displayed in
the work of raising the needed 100000.
Only about $4,000 more is required.
The following committees have been
selected and appointed to solicit funds
for the volunteers reception in the va
rious wards and suburbs of the city.
