ENLISTMENTS WANTED
FOR VETERINARY CORPS

Very little has been mentioned in the
daily papers about one of the most i'm
portant branches of the United States

complet syncronism Of an army in the

This branch is the Veterinary Corps
although comparatively new unit to
the United States army it is or the most
Importance In that it's duties are to look
after the good and welfare of the
horses and mules connected with the
army.
Although great part OF the army Is
to do away with the horses and the an
Gent army mule and in this present war
by using the eleventh hour services OF
the army horses many a valuable piece
of fighting equipment has been saved
from the hands of the enemy.
The main duties of the Veterinary
Corps is TO take care of these animals
and keep them in good health and con-
dition, and with this in view the war
department has sent out an urgent call
for men who are familiar with the
handling of horses and mules.
Great difficulty has been found in Sc
curing biacksmiths and men who are
familiar with mule packing, and at the
present time the chances for promo
ton to qualified men who can handle
horses are very good.
Men who have not already registered
for the selective draft can be accepted
for enlistment in this branch Of the SER
vice. That Is. men who are now be-
tween the ages Of IS to q years, and
from 80 to Al years.
As stated above, the cnanccs for pro-
motion are very good. The pay to be-
gin with is $50 per month and everything
found. In addition to this II a man is
married the government allows him a
very liberal compensation toward the
support of his family All men in the
service have the benefit of the govern
ment insurance ranging from $1,000 to
$4,000. which fact alone should not be
overlooked by any means.
At present al enlistments are for the
duration Of the war and more details
concerning this important branch Of
the service can be secured by applying
to the United States army recruiting
station located at the Armory. Water
