Yes terday however Assistant Town Clerk Wintone declared positively that he was not after the nomination and that he would be satisfied to remain in his present place if the Republi- cans win. He asked his friends and the delegates in the Fifth district to stop boosting him for the nomination. It is reported that MT. Winton had orders from leaders of the Repub- lican party to take this course.
 Last night the friends of Alderman Kearns, who have been booming him, were called to Republican headquar- ters. and were f1atly told that MT. Schultz was to be the nominee and if they desired any favors in the fu- ture from the party they better let the Kearns' boom rest.
 This meetings was a very short ses- sion, for friends of Kearns said that he had sent them word that he did not desire the nomination and also that he had sent word to Town Clerk Schultz and Assistant Town Clerk Winton to that effect.
 The Republican convention will be called to order in Republican head quarters at. o'clock tonight. There will be a short preliminary caucus, a. mere matter of form preceding it, for everything is cut and dried and all present Republican officials will be %ad n first delegate, from the First district will be chairman of the convention.

clusion.
Would Shorten Enlistment Term.
In his annual report Secretary Gar
rison recommended that the term of
enlistment in the army be reduced
from four to two years, and that au-
thority be granted to discharge men
at the end of a year if proficient, as
a means of building up a reserve that
might be called into the field in case
of war.
Trained Force of 225,17O.
The United States would be in bad
way if it was called upon in the near
future to send an army abroad or pre-
pare for an invasion. The total train
ed war strength of the United States
is 225,170 men. This includes the reg
ular army, the state militia organiza-
tons and the Philippine scouts. It is
short of war material. This material
cannot be quickly improvised. It re-
quires long periods to turn it out. The
United States has on hand sufficient
small arms, small arm ammunition
and equipment, roughly figuring, for
500, 900 men.
Munitions Are Lacking.
1t has nothing approaching adequate
supplies of artillery and artillery am
munition. It also lacks supplies Of
clothing and other things necessary
to equip an army of 100000 men, the
minimum number which would have
to be called into the field in any large
emergency. The army is away be-
hind other armies in the matter Of
airship and motor equipment.

DIR. HILL FLAYS
LEGISLATURE
Cuts In Health Funds Were
Childish, He Tells State
Association.

ST. PAUL, May 20.-That the Min
nesota Public Health association is in
better condition financially and
more Independent in policy than it was
last year, was the statement made by
the executive secretary, DR.. H. w.
Hill, at the annual meeting at Day.
toms tea rooms, Minneapolis, today.
There will be a slight balance on
November l this year instead Of a
deficit.
Need $1,000 More.
Notwithstanding this comparatively
bright prospect, at least $1,000 is
needed in donations and membership
fees to fill out the years budget Of
$4,000. The membership campaign of
the association. will open in July.
About forty attended the meeting.
DR.. Hill gave the final figures on
the last Red Cross seal campaign in
the state of Minnesota. The number
of seals sold in the state was $780,
942. The actual returns to local as
sociations amounted to $40, 476.84, to
the national association, $4,000, and
to the Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation, $7,442.84.
Only One Immune from Solons.
DR.. Hill told,,the members that the
association is the only state organi-
cation whose activities the Legislature
found itself unable to curtail.
1.-THE state seems to be suffering
from a general attack Of infantile
paralysis" said DR.. Hill, Through the
childish action of the late legislature
which cut down the appropriation to
the state board Of health about 10
per cent in spite of the fact that the
work undertaken by the board was
from 80 per cent to 200 per cent great
er than in previous years. The state
advisory board had had it's funds SC
adjusted that any progress in its work
will be impossible.

paign is that every private enterprise
political or otherwise, shall do 1t:
best to arouse public opinion in favo,

TIME FOR TRAINING SOLDIER
QUESTION STlRRlNCCAPlTAL
European Experts Declare equres Years. While Secretary
Garrison Is of the Opino That Twelve Months Is
Long nough.

WASHINGTON, May z0.-How
long does it take to convert raw re-
cruit into trained soldier? This
question is exciting great interest in
view OF the present strained relations
between the United States and great
power Of Europe, and the certainty
that if there is trouble this govern
ment must raise an army without de-
lay.
Army in Wretehed State.
1t is known, of course, that SO far
as its army is concerned the United
States is in wretched state of pre-
paredness. What there is of the army
is highly efficient as to personnel and
fairly well equipped. Compared with
the foreign armies the American
establishment is puny organization.
It therefore becomes of interest,
should war break out, to determine
just how long it would take the United
States to transform raw levies into ef-
ficient soldiery.
Requires Years, European View.
Authorities disagree as to the period
required to make a trained soldier.
European experts are of the opinion
that only through the medium of years
of effort and organization can an un-
tried man be trained to the point of
efficiency where he can perform good
service in the field.
Twelve Months, Says Garrison.
Lindley NJ. Garrison, Sectary Of
War, is not in accord with this conclu-
sion. He is of the opinion, after OBJ
servation and practical experiment.
that any young man of good health
and average mentality can be made
good soldier in twelve months. He

FARMER D'NOBLE AND FARMER PEERS.

70 more certain indication that land in this section of
III St. Louis county is gilt-edged investment and
that its agricultural future is assured is to be found
than in the fact that two of Vrgnias most successful
business have gone in for farms in the country to
the north city and have backed their faith liberal

Mr.. DeNobe practically began the development Of
