they wore the uniform most adopted to
the craft.

made known 20 IL the success aurtng the
march and had asked that the committee
choose what IL would most desire az the
suitable prize. After some talk IT was
decided that the best thing the union

the flag would be ready for the union
some time soon. and then II would be
formally presented 10 the body At that
time there will be some special action
taken 10 show the appreciation OF the
