He received a telegram from Chief

One dentist appeared at the recruit

volunteer his services. It is expected
that others will follow his example.
Numerous offers of assistance have

"Why, if you are not to be among

why, grab them by the neck and bring
them down yourself and make them

Indeed, the only reason why It has

its somewhat limited circulation. Is that
they have not had- time, in the stress
of mobilization and preparedness of the
National Guard, to circulate It to any
extent as yet throughout the city.
Many of those who have signed the list
of companies agreeing to do their duty
by their patriotic employes sought out
