head the parade tomorrow In their
battle-worn uniforms thru which they
served during the world war. Lead
ing this aggregation of brave men

tude when they see these men again
in formation as they did the last time

the old First company, whether he
saw service on the fields of France
or wherever their duties called them,
were asked to respond, and what
Major Malone asks, no man will re
fuse, for.no man ever led a company
who Is so dearly beloved by his men
as the old First company's former
commander.
All members of Ashland's old
First company have received mili

the cheers of welcome that greets
their appearance on the streets!"
