satisfa ctorily, and the members of the
committee feel sure that success will
crown their efforts.
A meeting OF the committee on chap

chairman, was held In the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce this morning to
discuss details of their work. Chaperons
and volunteers are needed badly, and n!

Because the buttons are being ordered
SO rapidly 1t has been decided to extend
the field Of the placards, which were
originally intended for use only In stores
and other public places. Accordingly rec

tons, have been procured for use on pri'
vate residences The red placards will be
sold for % cents each, and the blue fol
so cents. They bear a photograph OF the
President, eight inches in diameter. Per
sons buying them are to hang them or
their front doors to show that their resi-
dences have been bu-toned.'
