BUILD UP co. H
BUSINESS MEN TO TRY TO RE-
CRUIT HOME GUARD
Predicted That Every Able Bodied
Man Registered Will Be Call
ed to Colors for Army of
5 Million

Capt. G. H. Browne met mum
Der of the business men at the
Abilene club last evening and talk
ed tic them about the need of re.
cruiting the Co. H to full strength
Sixty men are needed
He made the startling statement
coming from an army officer back
from Washington that five to seven
million men will be called out, the
drafts commencing next month and
coming at ninety day intervals.
That means that practically every
man registered, if physically fit and
without first class excuse, will be
called to the colors.
The drafted men will fill the
guard units but he said the men
from Dickinson will not necessarily
go into the home guard; they may
be sent to Texas or Dakota, while
strangers will come here. So if the
home boys want to be with home
folks and friends they must enlist
before July 10th in the home guard.
A committee on recruiting was
appointed which will get publicity
to this effect to the young men Of
the county and more rallies will be
held in the towns to arouse enthus-
iasm for the company.
The business men will also prob
ably equip the company with base
ball outfits and other things The
will be called out August
9Th when Capt. Browne will return
from his home in Horton where he
went today. Then the company will
go into steady all day drill and if
is received will be in real
army life. The boys will spend two
weeks or more here and then go to
Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, and later in the
tall 60 to France, according to pres
ent Instructions

The Evils of CONSTIPATION

Constipation is one of the main
reasons why the average human life
is below 40 years. Leaving waste

you note these symptoms, try DR..

Camp Sherman News.
(By Floyd Redman)

Mr.. f. Il. Blue, Editor journal.
Dear Mr.. Blue Noticing let
ter from the Burg" boys at Camp
Sheridan in the Journal. we
thought the people would like to
hear some news from Camp Sher-
man, and do hope YOU will publish
the same.
The weather has been fine for
the past two weeks but the nights
have been pretty cool, but we all
manage to keep warm. We are
located about two miles from Chill
licothe and camp is reached by
taXicabs, charge of % cents each
way. and, believe us, they make
the change. One driver said. he
made $50 dollars one Saturday
That's as much as we get in two
months. We are located in the
valley of the Sciota river, which is
all gravel. When it rains the
ground gets mushy but not sticky
We are housed in barracks, hold
ing about $50 men, also a dining
hall and kitchen located at one
end. The best of feed is given us
and we get all we can eat. A few
meals consisted of roast goose,
chicken, etc, and tapped off with
apple pie and ice cream. We also
get our share of beans and bacon.
The engineers duty consists
mainly of laying out the work and
letting the infantry do the rest.
Yesterday we hiked about -four
miles to the trenches and had the
work explained to us, which was
very interesting, and most of you
people would be surprised to see
how it is done. We also build mar
row gauge railroads throughout
the camp, which are used to trans
port supplies from the main depot.
The engines run by gasoline and
go like the devil. Today (Wednes-
day we get half holiday and
we are all glad to hear the good
news, saying we could do as we
pleased.
Co. "E" possesses a player
piano and about $50 rolls of music
and a good time is had every night,
also singing and dancing.
The governor Of Pennsylvania
was here Tuesday. We all had to
do dress parade for him. About
$4,000 soldiers took part and the
parade was some sight. About
1000 people saw it. The officers
and men of the Engineers Corps
are all fine fellows and are all for
a good time.
Think this will use about enough
space or as much as you care to
give us, so we will chop off here,
sending the best to all.
We remain,
