The influence of such an organ

enrollment from its mem bership
I I men to take over the guarding of
Cold Springs reservoir. The
i work should not prove arduous
I or burdensome and would relieve
the project of an expense that
will be felt before peace again
settles over our country. An
other movement we favor is the
forming of a unit from among
the membership of the organi
zation of those wishing to take
up active drilling. This unit
could be composed of the boys
between 17 and 20 and men be
tween 35 and 45. A good sized
company of these classes can be
secured here and, while we hope
there will be no heed for them,
we cannot but feel all will have
an opportunity for very import
ant work before the end. Now
is the opportunity for every man
to stand forth that all the nation
may know where to place him.
