of the Madison company. Capt. Jas.
Robertson had the work actively in
charge. After the actual swearing
in of the men and a short drill a
supper was served the visiting Smen
at a restaurant. The drive was made
in automobiles.
This company of men makes a de-
tachment of Company f, 3rd regi-
ment of the South Dakota home
guard. other towns have expressed
a desire to form drilling detach-
ments for home protection, and Old
ham will organize next week. 1t is
probable that they will form parts OF
this same company.
The extra session of the legisla-
ture gave the home guard movement
a legality, and the body already
formed a legal entity. Under the
rules enlistments r for the dura-
ton of the war and n year follow
ing. Capt. Robertson has been ae-
tive In forming the organization, and
| with a committee at Redfield last
fall was largely instrumental in OBJ
| tanning an allowance ofSarms for
drilling and recognition of the pro-
~tective military character of the or
ganization.
The company at Winfred intend to
rustic a number of guns for tempo
rary drillings, and to order suits as
the home company has done. This
will be done through the office OF
the Madison Quartermaster sergeant
Geo. Koch. Drilling will be given by
men from Madison, or, IL they should
be unable to be present, there are
several men in Winfred who can lend
a great deal of assistance, having
served in national guard, and one
who served several years in the Unit
ed States army.

In a letter to A. w. %Sponholz, as

yesterday a number of question
naires returned and passed upon> by
the district board, and on Wednes-
day and Thursday of next week will
have those held to the first class

first time the district board has held
many who claimed exemption on ag-
ricultural grounds, and who were
placed by the local board in the Sec

neglecting to consider the depend

specializing whether these men
should be held to the first class on
d~isallowance of their agricultural
claims, or remain in the second class
where they themselves placed them
on their showing, but unclaimed, de-
tendencies. The adjutant generals
ruling has been asked in the matter.
