COMPANY M GROWING SOME

Seven New Names Added to the Roll Memorial Day. Captain Tuteur enrolled seven names on the roster of Company M Wednesday. These with others obtained recently, brings the total membership to eighty-three. Four others have signified their intention of enlisting at once, but have not yet signed the application. There is a possibility that some of the recruits may be rejected on physical examination, however, which would necessitate more enlistments -to take their place. It is desired to bring the .company to full war strength, 150. Those who have enlisted recently are as follows, their address being Rensselaer unless otherwise noted: Raymond Lanham, Howard J. Ames, James E. VanArsdel, Wayne Morrell, Leonard Johnson, W. C. iLanghoff, Edward Peregrine, Hawley T. Ramey, Charles C. Kiser, Joseph Woolever, Harmon Clayton. Ad Clayton, Asa Snow and Edgar J. Donaldson; Earl M. Gorden and Wayne Fisher, Wheatfield; John Bowman and Louis B. Cavendish, Newland; Ivan V. Julian, Remington, and Charles Shields, Ashville, North Carolina. There is a possibility that the company of citizens being trained by Dr. Bassett at Goodland will enlist with Company M. There are about eighty taking the training there and there would be between twenty-five and fifty of them enlist. Whether or not this action will be taken probably be determined today.
