MOSCOW MEN
MUST SUPPORT
HOME GUARDS
COMMITTEE WORKING HARD TO
SECURE REQUISITE NUMBER
OF RECUITS
INTEREST IS NOT KEEN
THINK PUBLIC MEETING TO
AROUSE ENTHUSIASM MAY BE
NECESSARY

The committee to secure the reQuis-
company Of national guards for Mos
COW is not meeting with the success
it had hoped for but is working hard.
The policy of asking the business men
and property owners to join first be-
fore calling upon the wage earners
is still being followed but difficulty
iasm among the business men that the
committee had hoped for. Up to noon
today less than 20, per cent of the
number required (1OO) had been Sc
cured
The committee is composed of men
who have work of their own to look
after but each is devoting a part of
each day to working on this line and
the town is being pretty thoroughly
canvassed. Arguments as to the need
of the company here and the neces-
sity of the property owners. helping
and doing their bit" are being made
by the committee, but this takes
time and the work is not progressing
as rapidly as the committee had hoped
it would, yet the committee is far
from being discouraged.
There is talk of holding a big public
rally Saturday night to arouse inter
est in the matter. If this is done it
is planned to make it indeed mass
meeting Of the people of Moscow and
good speakers will tell why Moscow
cannot afford to miss this opportun-
ity to secure a company Of national
guards. It is believed that such
meeting will do more to awaken the
people than quiet talks by members
of the committee to men whose minds
are occupied with other things, as is
the case when the committee goes in
to a place Of business during busi-
ness hours.
The committee feels that the matter
is of sufficient importance and the
public spirit Of Moscow is large
enough that when the Importance of
the movement is shown to the people
of the town the company will be re-
cruited to the desired strength in a
short time.

a few lines from the Sunday Herald:
"Now what have YOU done to help in
the war?
And have YOU stood the test?
Have you done SO much that you can't
do more?
Have you done your level best?
Are YOU satisfied?
Our boys on the front need all we
can possibly do for them in money,
clothing and surgical dressings. The
boys are giving their lives for US.
Many of our people are loyal and pa
triotic, and attend the classes regular
ly, and there are many others who
are not even doing their "bit" when
others are doing their all.

to the Monday sewing class.
The Red Cross is constantly send
ing out appeals for more pajamas and
knitted goods. We are now making
