Last night this order was put into effect and all the men were accounted for. Before roll call Captain Dunn gave a short talk on the care of the feet. He said that if the feet were wasiied after every hike or drill, it would do more good than any amount of foot powder. He also said that a hose would be placed iif the court house yard and every man will be required to take off his shoes and socks and bathe his feet after the company had hiked or drilled. Two new tents were secured yesterday afternoon from the sugar beet factory and set up at Camp Niblick. One will be used for the first sergeant's tent and the other for general use. Several boys talked of sleeping all night in this tent, to get used to camp life. Have you noticed the long watering trough that has been placed on Cou-t street? No, it is not used for watering horses but for the soldier hoys to wash in. This long trough is filled with clear, clean water from a hos ' and after a strenous drill or hike there is always a grand rush toward tliis ( trough, in order to get rid of some of the Adams county dust that persists in sticking to ones face. Although it may be a somewhat crude affair, it certainly does aid in cooling off the ho' "Sammies.” Carlyle Flanders has been appointed temporary postmaster of the company and every morning he gets the mail a! the postoffice which is distributed to the hoys right after breakfast. Herman Haag has the honor of raising the company flag at. reveille and lowering it at taps each day. Nate Haley is the latest recruit Company A. He was signed up an I sworn in just before supper last evening. Company B, of Rushville. Fourth In-1 fantry, is included in the first group of 1,200 Indiana guardsmen to be sent o ( Hattiesburg in a few days to preparations and get the camp ready to receive all of the Indiana regiments. Captain Dunn left for Bluffton today to take care of some business matters there. Instead of drilling in Ahr’s field this morning, the company drilled on the brick streets, as it afforded better footing for the work taken up. — 0 _ BANK ELECTS OFFICERS The new board of directors of the Old Adams County Bank met yesterday afternoon, immediately after the result of the stockholders annual election had been announced and organized by electing l the following officers for the ensuing year: president, Charles S.

What other reason there could be is unknown. The truck I was put into the shed at the rear of . the store Saturday night at eight o’clock. At that time the tags were ail right. They were missing until , Tuesday, when one of the hardware rpen went to the shed ami found them lying there, they having been thrown back sometime since last eve- ■ ning.
