of men from Superior, and No. s

Polk and Barron county boys when it
pulled in at about IL 80.
Shortly after that, the special

lowing day. There were 651 drafted
men on the train. All of the Rusk
county men went to Camp Grant.
On the day the boys left, the Cham
ber of Commerce induced Chief of Po-
lice LOzier to circulate a subscription
paper which resulted i'll raising $500,
which was expended in purchasing re-
freshments for the boys. These were
placed in the coaches and the lads were
certainly pleased with this evidence of
appreciation by the citizens of the sac
rificeS they were called upon to make.
The boys sent the following telegram
back to the Chamber of Commerce:
