se'f."
Once more the immortal words of
the Hoosier poet are apropos, for to
day Missonla county sends its third
contingent to American Lake, there to
join the boys who have gone before in
training for overseas warfare.
A special train that will leave Mis-
soula at 1:10 this afternoon will carry
~ new Sammees to Camp Lewis, but
not before the people of the Garden
city again bid bon voyage to their
boys. who are laying aside the text
book. the yard stick. the plow, the pen
and the mechanics tools to don the
kahki for the betterment of man.
The feature Of the sendoff will be the
big parade. that has been arranged
under the auspices of the Missoula
Chamber of Commerce. The veterans
of the Civil and Spanish American
wars. accompanied by the Boy Scouts
and citizens. will escort the drafted
men To the depot.
A huge banner bearing the words.
"Mtssoula-On to Victory is the
guidon of the contingent The flag
Army of the Republic, and will he car
ried to the station by a color guard OF
Boy Scouts. and afterward attached to
the coach occupied by the Missoua
men.
The parade will form at the court
house at noon. and Immediately after
rollcall the men viii march to the
music OF the Missoula band and the
Missonla Mercantile drum and bugle
corps. At the station a final rollcall
will be taken before the soldiers
board the train.
Mssonla is urged to turn ont en-
masse at noon today and show the
drafted men that the county--and
country they will fight for appreciate
their sacrifice: the local board also
urges that the Sammees be sent away
with smile, and that happy prophe-
cies be made for the day when
Johnny comes marching home" Let
ters from the contingent already en-
camped at American Lake are elo-
auent in praise of the farewell accorded
them on September "a. when they left
AIissoua.

Each departing soldier will receive a
comfort bag at the courthouse this
morning, according to members of the
local chapter of the Red Cross, who
