a hard time telling them apart and
try to keep them on widely detached
details in order that no mixup may
occur. Another brother, Paul, is with
a United States Army regiment sta
tioned at Panama; while another,
Thomas, enlisted in the navy some
years ago. Of the Ave sons, but onfe,
Earl, is not serving in a military or

other sets of brothers. Both First
Lieutenant Rippey T. Shearer and
his brother Joseph were with the
company on the border last year.
The latter was accepted for the
training camp at Fort Oglethorpe
and has been furloughed. Sergeants
William and Merle Coover arc an
other of the sets which give the com
mand its name. The former has been
detailed to join Company L of the
machine gun battalion 6f the Fourth
Infantry, detailed for service with
the Rainbow Division. Both were
in border service. The younger.
Merle, Is company clerk and was ifor
merly physical director at Blue Ridge
College. Other sets of brothers in
the company Include Norman A. and
Clarence T. Clevish, Cloyd and Stew
art McAllister, Mervin and Norman
Thoma, Clarence L. and Lawrenoe
L. Sollenberger.
Of the three sons of Mrs. B. S.
Snyder, one enlisted yesterday in the
quartermasters corps and went to
Columbus, Ohio; one is with a field
artillery regiment at West Point, and
the other with the First Infantry in
the Hawaiian Islands. J. Edward
Green and both of his sons are in
service, one with Company a and
the other with a field bakery. Louis
Kauffman is a corporal in Com
pany G and his brother, B. Roy,
