| Washburn again said farewell to
boys leaving for Camp Dodge. Twenty
seven we're called from this county,
but only seventeen entrained from
Washburn, the others joined them on
the way or at the camp.
Henry Wahl had charge of the boys
and was assisted by Rudolph Bauer of
Underwood as lieutenant. They left
here in very cheerful frame of mind
and make the trip to Camp Dodge in
two days, reaching their new home
Tuesday evening.
Farewell On Sunday
Sunday afternoon a program was
given at the hall for the departing
boys. The day was very stormy so
rot as many were in from the country
as on other like occasions, but the hall
was full and all enjoyed the program.
Judge G. P. Gibson as chairman an
nounced the speakers who were M. K.
McCurdy, Henry Morgan, Karl Klein
and Hon. J. T. McCulloch. The band
played a number of selections and
special numbers we're given by the
glee club and male quartet.
In the evening union service was
held at the hall. The place was again
crowded with friends of the boys.
| Rev. Burns and Burgum conducted the
services. Half an hour of community
singing opened the program, led by
the band and a large choir.
! Rev. Buzzelle of Bismarck, who was
scheduled to speak in the afternoon,
was unable to get here by auto ON
account of the rain and poor roads.
