Dr. J. Harry GAY and family will leave next week for Harper where the Doctor will locate for the present. During his stay in Anthony the Doctor has made many warm personal friends, not only because of his skill as a professional man, but because of his many excellent traits of character. his visit has been a business and social success. The closest remaining recruiting office to Anthony is Kingman. Any of our people who desire to volunteer would do well to have a local physician examine you before presenting yourself to a recruiting officer. This call is for so few men that the most rigid examinations will be made, and unless you are physically up to the standard you will have your trip for nothing. Some of our people were alarmed when they read in the Hutchinson News on April 26, that Edward Merrell was among the first who enlisted at Hutchinson under the call for recruits. We are reliably informed that it is not our Edward, as he has been detailed for service on board the Joker if her services are ever needed.
