U. S. Army Wants
75,000 Ex-Soldiers
Major-General S. D. Embiek, Fourth
corps area commander, announces that
the United States army is desirous of en
listing 75,000 ex-soldiers in the regular
army reserve who are under 36 years of
age, physically fit and who have served
continuously in the regular army for at
least one year.
General Embiek states that over 2.500
former soldiers residing in this corps
area have enlisted for this newest com
ponent of our national defense, and, of
650 soldiers recently returned from the
Panama Canal department for discharge
from the regular army, approximately
350 have expressed their desire to enlist
in the regular army reserve and become
“Modern Minute Men” in the military
forces of the United States. Each re
servist receives an enlistment allowance
of $8 three times a year. Checks are be
ing mailed daily to reservists, and every
effort is being made to contact all for
mer soldiers in order that they may avail
themselves of the opportunity of enlist
ing in the regular army reserve.
Men enlisting in the reserve are not
under military jurisdiction and will not
be called to active service except in case
of an emergency declared by the presi
dent of the United States. Reservists are
not required to attend drills or camps
and are assured that their civilian occu
pation will not be interferred with by
training requirements or examinations.
Former soldiers who desire enlistment
in the reserve should address a letter or
postal card to the commanding general.

Atlanta, Ga., stating such desire, and
special arrangements will be made im

in or near their home town.

THE OLD HOME PAPER.
(By Mrs. Earl Miller.)
When you are down and out or when
you have the blues,
Just wait till Thursday and read The
Summerville News;
It will cheer you up and will make you
glad,
For it tells all the news of the good
and bad.
Summerville News is the best paper
around,
It travels about from town to town;
It’s not very large; just small and neat,
But it’s a fine little paper and can’t be
beat.
Almost every place in town runs a lit
tle ad
That makes us country folks feel awful
glad;
We get the price of chickens, butter and
eggs;
And the cheapest place to get our glad
rags.
If we have an idea we want to buy a
car,
Just read Summerville News, the ads are
right thar;
Also the price of cotton and corn ;
It even tells when a new baby is born.
Summerville News only comes once a
week,
But we always enjoy it, for it’s all
complete.
Although sometimes it is very sad,
We read the death of a dear friend we’ve
had;
And then sometimes it’s awful newsy,
Some guy’s in jail who happened to get
boozy.
Or maybe Mr. and Mrs. Brown are visit
ing friends in another town;
Or perhaps Miss So-and-So is off teach
ing,
And all of the churches are going to
have preaching.
Summerville News carries a religious
part;
These interesting letters surely touch our
heart;
They tell how to live and how to love —
To reach that, home prepared above.
We always read them off to begin.
Thanks to the others, and Thos D. Lynn.
Some of its readers are old and gray ;
Some of them live many miles away.
Some have passed to the great beyond,
But Summerville News goes on and on.
INVITED.
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States will hold its annual ban
quet in Washington on May 4 and there
is a chance that the president will ad
dress the organization for the first time
in five years. Definite acceptance of the
invitation is not certain, but Mr. Roose
velt will announce his decision after re
turning from Warm Springs, Ga., about
April 10.

Guam, which has been a cause of con
