To ENROLLED MEN.--As the time for
making the draft has been postponed TO the
18th of February, it would be well for ali III
terested to give the subject OF filing the
quota Of Clearfield county by volunteers their
serious attention. And how is this to be
done BY remaining inactiye2 No! but
by one united eifort-by offering additional
bounties We learn that Erie county will
raise her quota by Volunteers county
having made large appropriation to IN
crease the bounty OF such as may enlist, be-
sides individual and corporation subscrip-
tions. For instance, the Borough OF Water
ford gives 800 additional, to the $500 given
by the county, 10 such as may volunteer to
fill up the quota Of that Borough. VIII
Claarlield county be behind her sister coun-
ties ? Are our Borough authorities to be
ont stripped by those Of Waterford Are
not our citizens as wealthy, as willing and as
patriotic sthose OF any other locality IN this
Congressional District Then why delay
Why not at once go to work and raise suffi
cientsum to increase the bounty ofvoiunteers.
so as to be an inducement to enlist The
Government gives a bounty Of 1902 to raw
recruits. why should not the citizens add
5000 or $500 thereto even if the county did
not appropriate anything additional? You
who have sons, you who have brothers and
friends, and you who are subject 10 draft
yourselves, give this subject your immedi-
ate and prompt attention. Let not another
day pass without making an effort to raise
the quota of Clearfield Borough by volun-
teers Lat every Borough and township IN
the county make similar effort, and Clear
field county will have her quota in the field
long ere the draft is to take place. \ word

should have been, and less than we antieipa-

the commutation fee, as they only availed
themselves of the privileges which the law
