During the past weekthree neNre-
cruits have been secured for Co. A.
They were Ernest Dodson of Highfill
Harry Spirgin of Johnson and Ralph
L. Strain of Fayetteville. These men
have not yet been examined, SO it IS
not known positively that they will
"stick" Granted that they will this
leaves the company short 20 of the re-
quired $50 men. Two men, Chilles
Sumpter of Recyl, Okla, and Lloyd
Patrick of Joplin, Mo-, have not yet
reported and efforts of Capt. Brogdon
to get in touch with them have so far
not met with success One man, Huel
sick, SO there are actually only about
120 men in camp.
The past week has been busy one
gram printed above, will show. The
with the company, as the daily pre-
campus at the high school is used as
drill ground, and the men are al
ready beginning to show evidence OF
improvement. AS yet the majority OF
them are without uniforms or guns,
which necessarily detraets from their
military appearance. However, all
the men are apparently entering INTO
their work with an enthusiasm that
speaks well individually for each one
and promises good results for the
company Springdale is already
proud of Co. A and The News pre-
dictts that the town will have reason
be more So
An additional supply of cots has
been received and now most of the
company have sleeping quarters IN
the armory Just how long the COM
pany will remain in Springdale IS
probably not known to anybody, but
late develol mentts indicate that the
company along with others OF the
second and third regiments will soon
be moved to Fort Roots, Little Rock
