Prefers Life Of Tar
to "Rasslin" Cows

II want to enlist" was the simple state
ment of Herman Miller, a six-foot cow
boy who appeared before Lieutenant
Nathan Post at the navy recruiting sta
tion Thursday morning. After the phys
ical examination and other preliminaries
were finished and his name was enrolled
upon the navy records the new recruit
startled the recruiting officers by drawl-
out that he was Jest about dead tired
fer sleep" Subsequent investigation
brought out the fact that Miller had rid
den diminutive COW pony all the way
from Butte, Mont, to Omaha and that
for the last few nights he has slept in the
saddle
Miller says he was ''rasslln' coaws" for
$50 a month and that he was tired of the
Job; that the life OF the Jack Tar ap-
pealed to him, so he decided he would
enlist. The reason he came to Omaha to
enlist instead OF signing up at the recruit
ing stations he passed while enroute here
was that he wanted to see what kind OF
a town Omaha was. He spent a few
hours roaming about the city, attired in
a picturesque sombrero and corduroy
trousers, and then asked to be immedi-
ately transported to wherever he is to be
sent He was accepted.
The recruiting officers put in a busy
day Wednesday and the early part of
Thursday examining prospective recruits.
Eight young men enlisted and of this
number seven were farmer boys from
surrounding counties.
