MARRIED MEN PLAN
MILITARY COMPANY

Mason City. April 2S. Young mar
ried men of Mason City, who would
be exempt under first call. under any
draft law, are now planning to form
a company and commence regular drill
in order to have such an organization
formed that there would be a chance
Of its being accepted as unit later
should they be needed.
While there is no prospect that mar
ried men will be called at any time in
the near future. the war might last long
enough to demand their services and
in that case company of that class
trained and organized would stand a
better chance of going as a body, than
the same number of men who were not.
1t is probable meeting will be call
ed soon which men interested will be
invited to attend.
