For the Good Of the Service.

Camp Shelby, Miss., . Oct. 2,* 1917. Old Company ,M is no more. All the efforts to get a home company that would remain together during the war has gone glimmering and already 43 men have been transferred to the 137th Field Artillery, which was composed in the most part from the former third regiment. It is expected that the balance of the company except the officers and noncommissioned officers will be transferred to some other service. Two others -were today sent to Hattiesburg as military police, namely, Huntington and Deardorff, of Mt. Ayr. Vestal, another Mt. Ayr boy, was transferred to Battery C, Field Artillery, and has been chosen for mounted police. Captain Garland and Lieuts. Watson and Nowels are to be used in training conscripted soldiers, it is understood. They feel vfery badly at having their splendid company thus disintegrated, but realize that all the sentiment is out of the thing and the matter is a cold-blooded proposition and the changes which create a hardship on the individuals are a part of the plan to win thq war and will prove effective. • x x x
