corded the boys, opening at $3.50 on
Tuesday morning, and they will leave
at 10 o'clock.
In addition to the calls for selected
men announced last week rev call
upon the state for 700 men to be sent
to Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, July 10,
has been received. Vernon county's
quota of that call has not yet been
announced Ordinarily our quota
would be about seven men, but as the
Glass l men are all gone in great
many counties and we still have few
left, it is likely our share will be more
than seven.
The local board has a call for nine
men with grammar school education
and some experience with machinery
to go July 18th. Eight have volun-
teered so far, and their is an opening
for one more. The following men

James WEIGH, both of Pleasant ridge,
went to Milwaukee to enlist. The
boys were accepted for the navy.
They returned home Friday morning
to await orders for future movements,
but before their arrival a message
awaited them here, directing that they
report for duty at Chicago, and they
departed with the blessings of rela-
tives and many friends on Monday.
The local exemption board sent to
Chicago on Monday morning the three
volunteers asked for from this county
| for mechanical duty, where they will
enter the automobile section. They
were Sam Johnson, postmaster and
assistant cashier of the Bank of
Chaseburg; Joe Picha of Hillsboro;

Registrars under the enrolment
of June 9Th, are now going through
the process of making out question
naires, and the law offices and other
places in the county where assistance
is rendered, are busily engaged in the
work The number is but ten per
cent of that a year ago, hence the Ia
Dor and time is greatly shortened for
those who are generously giving their
time and assistance.
Friday mornings farewell program
and demonstration in honor of the
boys who departed for Fort Riley,
Kansas. was an enthusiastic affair.
| The court house was well filled. At
the opening Rev. J. j. Jacobson IN
voked divine blessing on the young
soldiers, and the parents who give
their sons to the cause of right and
world humanity. C. J. Smith made
| the principal farewell address, and
it was most timely and to the point.
Gratitude" was ehis theme, and he
said it was the most telling word IN
the English language, especially as
applied to present day affairs. Inc
world expresses its gratitude, as DO
the states and every community for
the loyalty and sacrifices the young
men are making in this supreme and
mighty world struggle to put down
autocracy and establish policy that
appeals to all free men of every coun-
try~0n the face of the earth. I'VE all
honor you, boys" he said. I'VE VIII
give you the greatest reception that
is within our power when you return
home, as we all hope you may.

purpose ere this ned il not been fql
