ATTENTION HOME GUARDS

For the past three drill nights the attendance has been very poor, both on the part of some of the officers and the privates. The interest seems to be gone except with few of the faithful. Since July 1st we have not really had sufficient number to drill.
 The Home Guards are necessary and some sacrifice should be made to attend each drill night, if possible. A number of the boys have been draft ed and will be in the first call and if these will come out they will learn something that will be of benefit to them in the regular army. Others, in later calls, will receive even greater benefit.
 We want to have special drill night on next Friday night, and would like a full attendance. The United States Army recruiting officer will be with us on that night and will be glad to give us the benefit of his ex- perience in the regular army and dis cuss with those who are drafted or want to join the army, anything they may want to know about army life and military tactics. Let each man be a committee of one to boost the special drill Friday at s o'clock. Come
