Boys Reserve 1917

Rev. AH Backus of Dunkirk and Frank McGeath, George Leonard, David Peck and Leon Wright of Crawfordsville were here on Tuesday just afternoon in the interest of the Boys' Reserve. Backus & McGeath made short talks. The impression has gotten abroad that this registration was intended only for those boys who are not employed. This is not the case. It is intended to enroll all boys between 16 and 20 who are working or are willing to work, here or elsewhere. The movement is not military and is not compulsory. Prof. Raquet has charge of the matter and all interested should see him today if possible. The boys will register at the BS Kritz store.
