RECRUITS ARE EASILY SECURED
-------
The Enlistment Sheet Was Opened Monday Night and the Pull Quota was Easily Secured.
------
According
to previous announcement an opportunity to enlist in the service of
Uncle Sam was given on Monday evening in Armory hall, and a military
looking place it was. The new company was also being organized and
between the two matters were lively indeed. In the office rooms, Major
Watson, as acting enlistment officer, was kept busy taking names and
asking “How much do you weigh?" “What is your height?” “Married or
single?” In the drill room all was excitement and the tramp of the
“awkward squads,” so called, filled the’ air as they were put through
the mystifying command.
As
the National Guard companies are being filled up to a war looting,
Company K requires 35 more men and that number was secured last night.
These men will be mustered in either at Mt. Gretna or by a recruiting
officer to be sent here soon.
The names of those enlisting are given below. They are all single men.
