CHANGE TO SHOW PATRIOTISM.
More to Proposed Military Company Than Merely Playing Soldiers.

Thursday evening is announced as the time for bringing together at the state arTnory the men of the borough and surrounding places who are inter ested in receiving military instruction, under Captain F. L.. Darbie.
 On account of this fact it has been decided to postpone the meeting of the Business Mems association set for that time. The hope was expressed on Tuesday that at least as many as forty men may be obtained to take the mill ita4-y instruction to ebe given. this in- struction being the same as is given to the infantry companies of Con- necticut. ~ sssts
 Those who have thought of the plan of having the company believe that they will not only get nuch4sHaIiiabl training out of their voluntary organ : ization. but physical benefits also and 1t is absolutely important that Amer ieanism should become almost a creed for the lasting benefit and safety of the country.
 Those who go into the company will not be disappointed if they find that -tbey are going to be called npon by Captain Darbie to do serious training work. Discipline will be as rigid as in the enlisted service. Only under such a system will it be possible to he required to get down to their work in a serious and studious way and there will be no play time during drill time. This is being made understood by those who go in for the trairHng.
 This doesn't mean that hardships are to be attached to the requirements just that the work will not be a burlesque on military training, but the real thing. of value to all who take it.
