IN ARMY NOW,

The Ely young men who left
here last week were sworn into
the army Thursday afternoon it is
believed, since word from one Of
them was to that effect. One Of
the ten had difficulty with an
examination, and whether or not
he finally passed it has not been
revealed here.

Canadian currency.
