Federal sign Torn Down.

Mason City. June 5.--lRecruiting Of
ficers of the regular army and national
guard here are much incensed over the
deliberate removal and destruction,
some time Saturday, of a large litho-
granhed sign that was part OF the
regulars advertising. The national
guard officers are Just as angry as the
regular army sergeants. because the
same thing Is apt to happen to their
signs. u. IA
The one in question had beer, placed
on a bulletin board. with the knowl-
edge Of its owner, who had told Ser
geant Clark it could remain there until
he had occasion to use it. Later it
was found that the Autograph had
been torn down, and torn into several
pieces. ~
The soldiers claim to know who tore
down the sign.s and say that imme-
diately upon the mans return, they In
tend to arrest him on charge Of de-
stroying federal property, and inter-
fering with the recruiting service.
