Association Committee Meets
With Hearty Response 7
in Its Canvass
WILL MEAN SPLENDID
ARMORY HEADQUARTERS
Thoroughly Equipped With
Everything and a Monu- T.
ment to Soldiers

In less than a half days work
Tuesday afternoon the recruiting
committee Of the Civic and Commerce
association reported enlistments IN
the new national guard OF over 40
men and Indications are that the bal
sance of the company will be recruit
ed to full strength within a. few days.
Although the new captain, Thomas
w. Swinson has been given thirty
days in which to complete his COM
pany it appears that he will go "'over
the top" in less than half that time.
"Come on in, the water is t1nes is
the slogan of the men already IA the
company, and with this spirit and
their united efforts to pull for q new
zarmory and national guard unit, the
project is practically an assured fact.
Not Unexpected. :; j.
OF course there are those always
who are inclined to throw "cold wa
ter and it is quite surprising to- note
that some of these water bottle''
boys, were foremost in the boosting
game, before the new captain; was
chosen. Just because their particu-
lar choice failed to- materalize, they
prefer to Withdrew and IN soine III:
stances "peddle' little tpf6pagan-
da" about organizing an opposition
company and the like.
It sure does make a man sick to
sec a fellow act like this, and it is
having its effect upon the boys too.
They look upon such q move with dis
gust and several have enlisted just
because Of the disgruntled attitude
taken. It will spur them on toward
making the best company in the state
and has already set some Of the en-
listed men to hustling.
Popular In Guard.
Thomas Swinson is we'll known in
Bemidji and vicinity. He has many
friends who know him only as
~'Tom." He is we'll liked and ranks
especially we'll as a company COM
mander. When "Tom" was in charge
of the local home guard company, he
was considered the most popular man
in the bunch: Not because he was
captain, but because he was popular
AS soldier. He mixed with his men
and acted like one of them. His
record as head Of the home guards
is clean; his treatment Of his men
was fair and to man, they consider
ed him impartial in every respect,
wien. it came to appointments, and
general recommendations. -
The soldier who; enlists in the Be-
midi company is assured of the best
kind of treatment, with 'Tom''
Swinson at it's head. All a man asks
is fair treatment and that is what-he
must expect at the. hands of the new
commander

.PTTTMAN IS SEVERE
ON JURY DODGERS

About rs persons who failed to ap-
pear before Judge Pittman, Of the Third
circuit court, in answer to summons
for jury service must show good cause
for their nonappearance or pay a fine.
Attachments were issued for their ar
rest Tuesday and some were taken in
Wednesday.
The judge instructed the deputy sher-
III in his court to bring them in, rich
and poor, without fear or favor, and
order bonds for their appearance or haul
them to Jail, He also instructed the
deputy to get a truck II necessary to
haul them to court.
Judge Pittman says every man sum-
moned Is eligible for service so far as
he is concerned; that is. II business rea-
sons and professions do not dlsqualify
them.
He says the law fixes It so that IL
a notice is left at ones home 1t is a
legal notice, although that person may
be out Of the city at the time. In
such cases as this, when prospective
Jurors fail to appear, the Judge gen.
orally omits the fine. but the person
has to pay the cost of service, which
is several dollars. Judge Pittman says
this law should be repealed, as 1t ia an
unjust one, but must be enforced as
long as it is on the statute books.
