WEDNESDAY EVENING, '
Marysvillc, Pa., Slay 2. Marys
ville turned out entnasse yesterday
afternoon for a patriotic parade to
celebrate the raising of a large Hag
on the yard master's office. Teach
ers and pupils of the public school,
headed by the Marysville Cornet
Band, left the school building and
inarched to the otfice, where the ex
ercises were held.
After patriotic selections by the
band and prayer by the Rev. R. E.
Hartman, the oration of the day was
delivered by the Rev. S. L. Rice. R.
G. Cunningham, assistant freight
train master, made the response to
the speech. M. C. Dick sounded taps
prior to the playing of the national
anthem and the unfurling of the Hag
by Chief Burgess A. M. Fisher. A
white pigeon had been concealed in
the flag and when its folds were un
furled the pigeon darted over the
town toward the mountain. The
pigeon was meant to symbolize the
incalculable breadth of influence felt
each time another flag was unfurled.
The money for the flag was raised
by popular subscription among the
railroad men of the town. The com
mittee in charge of the flagraising
were J. C. F. Gelb, A. C. Eppley and

75 STUDENTS
ANSWER CALL
Activities at Dickinson Col
lege Greatly Affected by En
listment of Young Men
Carlisle, Pa., May 2. Just as In
Civil War times the activities at
Dickinson College were practically
suspended, so many of the students
at the institution have responded to
the call to "farm and arm," and have
left for their homes or for examin
ation for the various branches of the
naval and military service of the
United States. *
Following: the announcement that
credit will be given those who enroll
for training courses or engage in ag
ricultural activities, many men have
left the school, practically every
train being sent on its way by a
cheering delegation sending some
man off for examination or to the
plow. In all 35, mostly seniors, have
enrolled for Fort Niagara work, and
about 4 0 more have gone to work on
farms in their home communities or
in this county.
Reports to the effect that the Car
lisle Indian School would be made
a training center for troops during
tlie coming summer were to-day
stated by Superintendent Francis to
be without foundation, so far as he
I was officially informed.
Carlisle school boys are enrolling
for farm work, following the deci
sion of the school board that pro
motion and full credit will be given
those who take np farm work for a
three month minimum period.. This
; applies to all above the grammar
! school age and over 100 arc all ready
! to BO as soon as final arrangements
j arc made.
