One of the features of interest that 

 will be shown at the convention will be 

 a moving picture with subjects and pic- 

 tures of special interest to the trade. 

 In this connection there will be thrown 

 on the screen pictures of members and 

 sons of members of the association who 

 took part in the great war, as far as it 

 is possible to obtain photographs of 

 such persons. There are a good number 

 who have not yet responded with pho- 

 tographs to the committee having this 

 in charge. It is requested that any who 

 have not will please mail such photo- 

 graphs immediately to Watson S. Wood- 

 ruff, Orange, Conn., together with as 

 many facts relative to the subject as 

 possible, including full name and ad- 

 dress, branch of the service, when and 

 where located, if duties overseas or do- 

 mestic, so that as complete a record as 

 possible can be shown representing the 

 American Seed Trade Association.
