COMPANY -" BALL

Company B, 18th Battalion of the
Minnesota Home Guards, "broke the
ice" last Monday night with the first
benefit ball at Union hall.
Many Of the younger set were pres
ent and, considering many. adverse
conditions, the affair was social and
financial success. Our Red Cross
Units of Minneapolis and st. Paul
we're out in full uniform and besides
their assistance they gave military
color to the occasion.
Each year the public will expect at
least one such entertainment by each
Of the four companies which comprise
the 18th Battalion; and perhaps a
grand final and free event at the end
of each season. A competitive drill
soon might now allow US to note the
expected and comical defects. A like
drill later on will display the certain
improvements. However, the public
as a whole must realize the encourage
ment and support necessary to place
