co. B NEEDS MEN
Must Enlist to War Strength. Reg
istration No Bar to Enlistment.

Captain George L. Caruthers and
Lieutenant w. O. Jackson are ex-
erting every effort to recruit Com
pany b to war strength in accord
ance with orders requiring the filling
of all National Guard units.
Captain Caruthers was notified by
long distance phone from Col. w.
A. Raupp. commanding the Second
Missouri Infantry Wednesday that
men who had registered were not
barred from enlisting in the Nation
al Guard, but would be accepted un-
til drawn for the draft. After being
drawn, however, none will be accept
ed for enlistment.
Several young men who have regis
tered and are eligible to draft have
already taken advantage of this op-
portunity to select their own service
and Captain Caruthers believes that
when this ruling is generally known
more than the required number will
apply for enlistment.
lHS advantage u serving with
home officers and home men pre-
sents strong appeal and the high
standard of efficiency and personnel
OF officers and men of the Second
Missouri make it a most desirable
organization with which to see SER
vice.
Company "B's' property and
equipment was inspected and checked
Saturday by Captain Manchester OF
the Second Regiment Supply Com
pany and has been turned over to
Captain Caruthers at the company's
new armory in the Opera House
building. which has recently been re-
modelled especially for the company.
A recruiting officer is now on duty
at all hours of the day at the armory
and those desiring to enlist in the
company before this opportunity is
closed to them by the draft are urged
to present themselves at once.

Women's Clubs Can for Army.

six cans of food for the soldiers
from every woman and girl in the
country"-this is the slogan adopted
by the Rural Dale Homemaker's
Club of Grundy county. These wo-
men have not only complied with the
suggestion of the College of Agri-
culture that two-year's supply of
canned goods, be preserved, but they
have gone step farther. The COM
mercial club Of Trenton will furnish
the cans and labels for the "six cans
from each woman and girl"
The women of the aid societies of
all the churches in Hale, Carroll
county, will use the basement of the
Methodist Church as a community
cannery This canning laboratory
will be open to the country women.
If tin cans are available, some of the
product will be offered to the army.
Whether or not these women sue
coed in canning enough food to help
materially in supporting the soldiers
at the front, they will at least be
able to support their own families
and perhaps some of the community
demands so that commercially canned
goods, which they would ordinarily
consume, may be released to feed

Dear SIR
While am very much pleased
with your splendid cooperation with

That you may understand more fully
the urgency of this demand I quote
the following telegram from the Ad-
jutant General Of the Army:
Progress recruiting unsatisfac-
tory. Less than fifty per cent war
quota regular army obtained in sixty
days. Fifty-one new regiments now
forming at eighteen stations need one
thousand recruits immediate
ly. Valuable time for training and
now being lost. Request
of local press and patri-
otic committees. Speed up recruit
ing to maximum intensity. After
regular army is brought up to max
Mum strength recruiting service will
nave task of obtaining quota to main
ain that strength. Continue with
,ut regard to hours.
"Signed.
Mccain, Adjutant General"
The fact that man has registered

inform you, that on yesterday, out
of more than $500 votes, our town

TIP in the same manner and we hope
to have a rock-road from north line
to the south line of our county by
this time next year or sooner, as on,
banks have offered to advance the

up when issued at S per cent. With
this start we can lend help to other

luck may come to your county soon.
