Show CAPTAIN EXAMINES FOR OFFICERS CAMP Captain Louis Rice Ball of the regular army, with his orderly, arrived ar-rived in Milford last Wednesday morning and made his headquarters with an old-time friend, J. A. In-gols, In-gols, city clerk. Eight applicants for admission to the second officers' training camp were examined. It is thought that only two of the number num-ber passed the examination with a good chance for selection. One of these is Byron Dade Davis. Mr. Davis is a young rancher of the Beaver Bea-ver Bottoms section and a former student at Stanford University, California. Cal-ifornia. The examinations developed the fact that Uncle Sam is looking for physically and mentally tpp-notch tpp-notch men to officer his armies. Even though a man's physical defects might be overcome by treatment and training in a very short time, the present condition is the only thing considered. He must have a broad general knowledge of thinga from poetry to plowing. A number of Beaver county men took the occasion occa-sion to call upon Captain Ball for J information regarding army matters. |
