Firemen to Give Benefit Picture Show Thursday Night.

The Rensselaer volunteer fire department will give a benefit Thursday night of this week at the Princess Theatre, the money to go into a fund for the protection of the members of the company should, any of them become injured while engaged in their splendid service for the community. The show will consist of the regular program and in addition the “home folks” movies. The regular lOcent admission will be charged and the members of the fire department will sell tickets in advance and will doubtless receive liberal patronage. It should be remembered that the men composing this organization are taking a great amount of risk and performing a most valuable service and that they have established a fine fire fighting company and placed .Rensselaer in the front rank in -the way of fire protection. It may be your 'house or your place of businese that will need their services next. They wiH be right on the job if needed and if any member of the company should become injured the expense of their care should justly be that of the community. Commendable forethought justifies the building up of a fund for sucih emergencies and* tickdts should be purchased liberally, even if you can not use all that you buy. Remember, that the benefit is Thursday evening of this week and buy a handful of tickets of the first solicitor who visits you.
