The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-02-22
CALLED TO THEIR
COUNTRY'S. SERVICE
140 More St. Francois County Boys to
Leave Monday to Take Up Army
Duties--Leavetaking to Be Quiet

Next Monday will witness the de-
parture of 140 more of the young men
from st. Francois county, to enter up
on training for army duties. They
will be taken to- the Camp Funston,
Kans., cantonment, leaving DeLassus
at 200 p. m. At a meeting of the
County Council of Defense, which was
held Tuesday evening", it was decided
not to make this leave-tadng an oc-
casion for any patriotic display.
There will be no speech making or
parading, such as marked the depart
ure of the first contingent, as there
is feeling of opposition to such a
program, at least among some of the
young men who are to go.
1t was the sentiment of the Council
of Defense that the opinion of those
who are going to the front was over
shadowing as to what arrangements
should be taken to show the heartfelt
interest of the citizens of this county
in their departure. 1t was therefore
decided not to have any unnecessary
demonstration, but to make it an oc-
casion of quiet and prayerful good
byes, God-speeds. loving hand-clasps
and affectionate farewells. However,
the Desloge band has been asked to be
present to furnish patriotic and soul
stirring music to add enthusiasm, and
the ladies of Pennington and COM
munity will again serve a splendid
farewell dinner to the boys. The
former dinner served was greatly ap-
preciated by those in whose honor it
was given, and no effort will be
spared to make the dinner next Mon
day equally as palatable.
Following is the complete list, to-
gether with the Order and Serial Nos.
of the soldiers who will leave Mon
day. The first twenty names are of
those who were not required to go
until the next contingent, but who de-
sired to go at this time:
