MAHASKA' S SELECTS
ANOTHER SPLENDID BUNCH ARE
OFF TO CAMP DODGE.


Another quota of Mahaska county
drafted men left for Camp Dodge this
'afternoon. Sixty-fve men strong as
sembled at the court house at 1890
and marched, headed by the city Off
Gals and the Iowa Brigade Band, to
the Rock Island station.
The platform and street at the sta
ton was crowded with an enthusiastic
throng of people. Ii was an enOr-
nous crowd when the condition of
the roads is taken into consideration.
A special train of five coaches car
ried the boys, along with those men
from Lee, Van Buren,, Wapello, Wash
ington and Keokuk counties, making
total of 2S9 men all told to Des
Moines. The train did not wait on
the schedule as planned, on account
Of the train from the southeastern
counties being late.
Secretary Kramer of the local Y.
M. c. A., and Rev. Stranahan went
with the boys and distributed postal
cards and other writing material
among them so that no time would be
wasted in writing home. They also
had little pamphlets which contained
songs to be sung on the way to camp
as well as telling where to find the
Y. NJ c. A. and it's accommodations
when they arrived.
