Fifty Young Men Wanted For Militia Company Here.

J. M. Sauser, who has been appointed chairman of the military affairs of the Jasper county council of defense, is organizing a company of militia here. Several have already enrolled with him and it is desired to increase the number to fifty. Those joining this company will hot be asked to do service outside of the state. This organization has supplanted the Home Guards. There should be three of these companies, at least, in this county. One here at Rensselaer, one at Remington and another at Wheatfield. - - When our soldier boys have left the state there might be urgent and serious need of such organizations. Men under forty-five should take this matter up with Mr. Sauser at once.
