FELL-DING HON FACTORY AND

THE WAR

With to-day's recruits from Feilding went three employees of A. Broadbelt and Co., bringing the total from this firm to date to seven men—and still their reserve is'not exhausted, as they hope." to senel more men in future drafts. One of its employees, Corpl. A. J. Shot'brielge, is now a prisoner- iv Constantinople. On Saturday, the employees gathered to bid Geid-speod to Messrs Tarrant, Hiscox arrel E'urinell. At the in vitation of the men, Mr A. 11. Atkinson was present, and in a few heartening words, bade the recruits goodbye. All agreed with his sentiment that no matter what tbo Government might or might not elo feu- these men now or in the future, nothing could rob them of the knowledge that they had hearel the Empire's call and answered it. Miss Oilman, em behalf of tho employees, in a neat little speech, presented each recruit with a useful souvenir, and wished them good-bye, anel a. safe return at tho end of their cornpleteel task.
