The state police who were called upon
today to do police duty here are claimed
to be as fine a body of mounted men as
can be found anywhere. Experienced by
service and always In the saddle the men
are ready at all times to answer where
trouble calls them in commission.
The police were organized five years ago
under an act of the Legislature and COM
prises five companies, or otherwise known
as platoons. Each company Is made OF
a captain, lieutenant. five sergeants and
sc privates. Each man before he be-
came member was compelled to undergo
a severe physical and mental examination.
Only men between the ages of 21 and ~
years are eligible to duty. In organizing
the troops preference was given to former
United States army soldiers, and the force
is said to be made up almost exclusively
of men who have seen service in the fed
eral army.
The equipment of the men consists Of
carbine, pistol of large caliber and riot
stick
The state force is commanded by Capt
John c. Groome.

METHODIST NOTES

Rev. Mr.. Mcnamara, Of Far
go, was a guest at the pa,son
age on Saturday and Sunday.
The Social Club" met at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. O. a.
Leach on Tuesday evening and
had a very pleasant time.
While the evenings thought
was directed to the busy city of
London and there were facts
and figures big enough and
numerous enough to satisfy the
cravings of the most ambitious
minds, yet there was enough Of
the entertaining side of a social
evening to satisfactorily meet
the demands of all. English
songs were acceptably rendered
by Prof. c. c. Kirk, Mr.. S. B.
HICKMAN and Mr.. w. Bayes.
Miss ]. Rieke gave a reading
from Standards London, and
Mr.. Randolph gave two violin
solos in such a way as to call
forth tumult of applause. The
dainty, but satisfying refresh
ments were prepared by Mrs.
G. G. Kirk and the kindly words
of thanks uttered by the parti.
cipants were evidence sufficient
of the enjoyment provided.
Somehow we feel sorry that
that the summer will put an
end to these meetings for a few
months. But undoubtedly,
much material will be gathered
during the days of holiday 80
that the coming fall and winter
will be made bright with many
q similar gathering. The meet
ing to be held in April promises
to be huge success.
