Interest in recruiting for the Nation

| Captain F. f. Withee said Wednesday
| afternoon that he has secured six new
recruits this week, increasing the
| membership of the company to "a.
| Captain Withee desires at least rs more
| enlistments, for while the full strength
| of the company is to be 100 men, and
| would now he over that mark were 1t
! not for the fact that ali but five mar
1 ried men have been discharged from
| the company. it is considered possible
| that there may be some reflections
| from the company ranks when the
federal examination for physical fit
1 ness is given the men.
| The company will be in Dayville
! Sunday to participate in the Memorial
| exercises to be held at that place. As
| 1t has been expected for some time
past that the company would not be
| here for Memorial day. no invitation
| has been received for them to partici-
! pate in Danielson's Memorial day ex-
ercises.
In all probability, now that it is
| known that the company is to be at
home on Memorial day, such an invi-
| tation will be given by McGregor post,
| G. a. R., it was said Wednesday af-
| ternoon.
The five married men remaining in
the company are Sergeant Charles

Nine Men in Overturned Car. y
| A big Rhode Island touring car. car
| rying nine persons, all men, figured in
an accident near Chepachet. The car
skidded in sand at the side of the state
| highway when the driver turned out to
| let small car pass. The rear end
clicked along against fence posts at
| the side of the road for a considerable
swerved and the front end plunged
through the fence, the big machine
rolling over twice as it went down the
emba nkment.
1t is considered remarkable that all
of the men escaped without serious
injury One man had a scratch on his
face, and all were shaken up and
frightened, but outside of that they
were not hurt in any serious degree
This is due to the fact that the top of
the car was UP at the time. The men
| were pinned beneath the car. which
landed upside down, but all managed
to crawl out, after a time.
One-Way Traffic Suggested.
Repeated slight accidents and near
accidents in which motor vehicles have
| figured recently while negotiating the
| crowded little section between the Elk
| change building and the Bradley build
ing, near the postOffice, has led to the
suggestion that one-way traffic rule
/ be made to eliminate the danger of
collisions, now almost constant there.
Car movements through the narrow
and busy little stretch of street num-
Der hundreds daily.
