city, who is secretary of the associa-
ton, is member of the committee
which compiled the program, and to
him belongs much of the credit for its
excellence, and the handsome manner
in which it is issued.
One Of the features of this years
meeting of the photographers is the
large number Of trophies to be award
ed to the winners of the different class
contests. Secretary Pierce has re-
ceived a number of inquiries from var
ious photographers concerning compe-
tition for prizes, and exhibits will be
seen at the convention from points as
far east as Virginia and west as Colo
RADIO. The trophies are all beautiful
articles, and the competition for all of
them Is expected to be large.
The souvenir programs are hand
some compositions. The cover is of
brown paper, adorned by nothing ex-
cept the letters, P. A. of l., and an en-
bossed figure. The seventy-eight
pages of the book are all India tint pa
per, and the sepid ink used gives the
effect of an etching or steel engraving
to the various cuts. The efforts of
President G. F. Townsend, Treasurer
H. o. Baldwin and Secretary G. D.
Pierce, the program committee, rank
among the finest programs ever issued
by any state association.
All the Ottumwa photographers will
attend the convention.
