formed classes Of $50 men each for cal
esthenics, In two months the boys
could shadow box in regular style,
The officers saw the benefit OF the
work and formed officers boxing
classes. Calesthenics became rather
dull after a few months of it and we
took a chance by putting some boxing
gloves into circulation. Oh, boy! how
those soldiers hustled to get them on
their hands. They were daffy to show
what they could do, | must have. boxed
a hundred rounds a day regularly, but
I liked the hard work.
The next problem was to find q
place In which to hold the boxing
shows. The Y. NJ, c. A., the X. of G.
and the Jewish welfare board came
to our rescue and granted us permis-
sion to string rings in their huts. and
in this name regular shows were held
In the huts afternoons and evenings.
And what action! Wow. They kept

MOSCOW MAN RECEIVES RE
QUEST TO ENLIST COMPE-

j. S. Heckathorn, Moscow banker,
is in receipt of a communication from
the military training camps associ-
alton at Chicago, asking for men who
have had experience in driving trucks.
The letter, which follows, is SELL
explanatory:
Following is extract from telegram
received from Washington:
Pressing need for one hundred
fifty heavy auto truck drivers and
four hundred gasoline tractor drivers.
These men needed for new tank corps
unit for early overseas work.
All names submitted should be men
willing to be induced if within draft
age, OF enlisted if outside.
Proficient men may win early non
commissioned grades in most inter
esting work"
Men experienced only in driving
pleasure cars cannot qualify as truck
drivers.
This call for tractor men and truck
drivers is a great opportunity for
the branch chairmen in small cities
to render efficient service. With
General Haig's statement that the
British are fighting with their backs
against the wall, the necessity for
special efforts by all branch chair
men in doing their utmost in connec-
ton with all resuests, is apparent.
P. S. A citizens committee here
has already guaranteed sufficient
funds to cover equipment cost neces-
sary to insure substantial delega-
tions from every one of the % high
schools in Chicago. Capt. F. L. Beals
is desirous of having students or in

received for names and for the quilt
will go to the Red Cross, the work
being donated by the patriotic wo-

will not be necessary to solicit for
this work but that Moscow people
will send their names with the
amount they wish to contribute-Not
less than 20 cents, but 81 will be
more acceptable-and have the names
sewed into the quilt. When it is
completed it should contain the names
of most of Moscow's public spirited
men and women, and it will be raf
fled off or sold at auction and the
person getting it will have something
of value.
