.hsds them.
Colonel Sterator IS o so,dlery man II
,rer there was one. He has had long
,tpsdence in the National Guard and
IA; always been popular and respected
Nv the men Of the Tenth regiment. The
r,rnent he Is now engaged in forming
vii be one OF the larger ones, being
eonoossd OF twelve companies, or three
ht,slions. Many Of the men offering,
more than half, I believe I can say, are
men who have served full terms In the
National Guard before. 1t will take
lie minimum length OF time to get. this
