Many Would Join Company D.

With prospects Of being sent to
Mexico, Company D is having no trou-
BILE in getting plenty Of recruits. The
company comprises seventy-six mem
bers at present, and in case of more
serious trouble with Mexico, may be
recruited to full war strength, which
is $50. There are only 81 rifles at the
Armory, but Captain Wheelon declares
that he will recruit the company ia
full strength if called to do SO, even il
he has to equip the additional men
with broom sticks, until he can sup
ply them with something better. Many
young men from outside of the city
have written Capt. Wheelon, asking
that their names be placed on the list
lin case more men are needed.

NOW IS THE TIME
TO KILL GOPHERS.

Gophers do their greatest damage in
the early spring when the seeds first
send up the green shoots. Then Mr..
Gopher is ravenous after his long win
ter fast. He is ready to eat every
thing in sight. The young grain he
destroys would bear a lot of grain if
it were allowed to mature, but that
don't have any weight with Mr.. Co.
pher.
Hungry as he is when he comes out
of his winter quarters, it is hard to
get him to eat anything he is not ex-
tremely fond of. That's why it is so
hard to. get the gopher to eat grain
poisoned with strychnine. 1t is bit
ter and the gopher will not eat enough
of it to kill him. There is an album
dance of the good green food he loves
so why should he eat bitter grain
But he'll eat Kill-Em-Quick any time
he is out of his hole.
There is a deadly poison that he
will eat. In fact he likes it even bet
ter than the fresh green shoots. 1t is
"Kill EN- Quick" Gopher Poison. 1t
has an intensely sweet taste and a
strong, sweet odor that attracts the
pogher irresistibly. The sweet taste
pleases the gopher and he always eats
If the tiniest particle of this poison
ever enters his mouth, he's a dead
gopher.
"Kill- Quick" is guaranteed by
the makers to kill all the gophers fol-
/ cent an acre; if it fails, the pur.
chace price will be refunded. But il
never fails. 1t is easy and safe tt
use; no danger in handling. Use
"Kill- Em-Quick." For sale in Minot
by Taylor Drug Co. and Mccoy Drug
Co., and in Burlington by Wistron

for building the bridge, provides that

tours shall be provided. These are
the same specifications as apply to
