nounced this morning that during the
past week five local youths had en
listed in the service and that eight
others made application and will bo

show that Harrisburg is doing more
than any other inland city in enlisting
men.
Captain "William F. Harrell, in charge
of the army recruiting office, stated
this morning that the number of re
cruits for the month has been bosted
to 325, just twenty-five short of the
350 which the Jocul office intends to
get before the end of the month. Fif
teen were sent away this morning and
yesterday.
Captain Robert D. Jenkins, command
er of Company I, Eighth regiment. Na
tional Guard, has issued an appeal for
recruits. The company will hold its
regular drill to-night in the Klglith
Regiment Armory. North Second streVt,
and recruits will be received. Twenty
five more men are needed to place the

headquarters at Lemoyne, is also In

ies, leaving a big gap in the ranks.
Recruits are needed by this company
more than by any other company in
tlie regiment. Applicants may apply
either to Captain Crow or Lieutenants
Chambers and Gross.

bail who fail to appear in court wheu
called for sentence.
"Too many people think bail is only
to keep them out of jail. They should
remember it is to see that they come
into the court and remain until the
Court discharges them. We can't have
the officers of the court running after
them."
F. ,T. Beckman and Kdward Hoover,
acquitted on a charge of carrying con
cealed deadly weapons, but ordered to
pay the costs, were before \lie Court
for sentence at the time. Last Satur
day. when called, neither appeared, As
