YOUNG men ARE NOW
URGED TO ENTER ARMY
They Can Do So Before Next
Registration Day, Prob
ably June 9Th

Within the next few days Presi-
dent Wilson will attach mis- signature
to the new draft bill, requiring all
men who have attained the age of
twenty one years since June 5, 1917
to register for military service. Reg
istration Day has not been fixed as yet
but will more than likely be on the
same date as last year, June s. This
action will place over 100000 addi-
tional men at the call of the country,
and is expected to furnish about 7OO,-
900 Class 1 men.
In view of the foregoing facts, Ma
jor John d. Yost, recruiting officer for
the Minnesota district, is urging all
young men who will be required, un-
der the law to register, to get into
service at once, while they still have
an opportunity to select the branch of
the service they most desire. The
selective service law he becomes in
ELIGIBLE for voluntary enlistment in
the army, and when called by his
local board must go into the corps
they select for him.
Hundreds of high school boys in the
state will have to register next month
Most of them are particularly well
suited for specialized branches of the
service, and an excellent opportunity
is afforded them in the army for fur
Their training. Innumerable training
schools have been established by the
war department is various sections OF
the country, and high school boys are
especially well fitted to attend them
Credits can be secured from practically
every high school in the state by boys
who wish to get into the army al
this time AS the time is short, Major
Yost advises them to act at once, anG
to enlist before the end of May. Only
three weeks remain.
Army recruiting officers throughout
the Minnesota district have been in
structed to make special efforts to Sc
cure men who will have to register
next month, and to point out to higf
school boys the advantages of getting
into service now rather than later.

AUTO AND BUGGY COLLIDED
Near Fatal Accident Occurred on
Street Late Last Night.


Street Late Last Night.
A collision between an automobile
and horse and buggy, which narrowly
missed being fatal to one or more OF
the occupants, occurred near the
corner of Madison avenue and Fourth
street last night about 1880 o'clock.
An automobile, driven by Emil Meur-
er, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Meurer
of Bunker Hill, who were also riding
in the car, ran into horse and bug
gy from Macbeth's livery, driven by
Jake Kline, who had with him
Mrs. M. Flanagan and Miss Ger
trude Flanagan. The machine
struck the buggy from the rear, break
ing two wheels and upsetting the
occupants into the road, and breaking
the horses leg. The machine was not
damaged to any great extent, and
none of the Meurer family was in
jured. Miss Louise Demmin, who
witnessed the accident from the
porch of her home, ran out to give
what assistance she could, and found
that Gertrude Flanagan had appar-
emily sustained bad injuries. She as
sisted the girl to her home, and DR..
Roy Andrews were summoned Miss
Flanagan was later removed to St
Joseph's hospital. She had been
badly bruised and shaken by her
fall, her wrist was hurt and her back
and neck wrenched, but it is thought
that she will make a good recovery.
The horse, one of the best drivers
from the Macbeth's livery, was found
by DR.. Dodds, veterinary surgeon, to
be suffering severely, having one
| leg badly broken, and was shot to
put an end to his misery. Mrs.
Meurer stated this morning that the
road is very dark at the point where
the accident occurred and she says
that the buggy ahead of them was
not exactly on it's side of the road.
Those who witnessed the accident
state that the machine struck the bug
gy squarely from behind without any
! warning to the occupants of the
buggy.
When seen at the hospital this noon
Miss Flanagan stated that she could
not hear out of her right ear, and has
, not been able to do so since the &C
cident. Her neck is badly swollen
but she expects to be able to leave
the hospital soon. Her sister-inl law,
| Mrs. M. Flanagan, who also sus-
/ tanned bad bruises, was not injured
seriously enough to be taken to the
hospital. The party were driving
home after trip to Madison Lake.
Residents of the part of town where
the accident happened state that ar
electric light at that corner is a great
necessity and should be installed, as
accidents are narrowly averted every
evening. Shortly after the accident
last night two automobiles bumped
into each other at the same corner
but no damage was done as the ma
chimes were proceeding very slowly.
