NO DISAPPOINTMENT
FOR FARM BOYS
Local Board Receives Order Cancel.
ling Postponement of Entertainment
For Farm LabOrers.

EARLY this spring the government
gave an order to local boards post
poning entertainments of farm laborers
that We're actually needed in the opera
ton of farms. This morning the local
board received an order from the adj
jutant generals Office in St. Paul can
ceiling all orders of postponement.
Under this last order, therefore, all
men who previously have been granted
postponement Of entertainment by the
local board, are now subject to call at
any time. The local board has wired
in protest against the cancellation of
grant of postponement for farm labor
ers, but no reply has been received at
the time of going to press. If the adj
jutant generals order stands, then
those who have been granted postpone
ment on account of being farm labor
ers, must be prepared to leave with the
next contingent of SIS men to entrain
between May % to 80, the exact date
not yet having been determined.

YOUNG MEN URGED TO
ENLIST BY MAJOR YOST

Within the next few days President
Wilson will attach his signature to the
new draft bill, requiring all men who
have attained the age of p years since
June 5, 1917, to register for military
service. Registration Day has not been
fixed, as yet, but will more than likely
be on the same date as last year, June
9Th. This action will place over 1,OOO,-
600 additional men at the call of the
country, and is expected to furnish
about 100000 Glass 1 men.
In view of the foregoing facts, Major
John D. Yost, recruiting officer for
the Minnesota District, is urging all
young men who will be required, under
the law to register, to get into service
at once, while they still have an op-
portunity to select the branch of the
service they most DESIRE The minute
a man is registered under the Selective
Service Laws he becomes ineligible fol
voluntary enlistment in the army, and
when called by his local board must &c
into the corps they select for him.

deed or lend helping hand to some
fellow mortal in need of assistance

Roseau she dispensed old time hospi-
tally, according to the custom Of her
native land. No visitor ever entered
her home without being entertained

STATEWIDE ''NEXT OF KIM
CAMPAIGN is LAUNCHED
Opens With Monster Meeting i'm st.
Paul, Followed by County
Meeting OH July !.

Probably the greatest and most far
reaching among the many great lover
here war movements is the SO-called
''next of kim movement now being
Launched throughout Minnesota by the
American First Association.
This movement has twO-fOld pur-
pose. 1t aims. first, to cheer and in
spire the parents. brothers. sisters,
wives and sweethearts of our soldiers
and sailors by holding get together
meetings in every county in Minnesota
on the Fourth of July. a most appro-
pirate day for such a purpose.
By thus enabling the next Of kim
in each county to become acquainted
with one another. that the more cheer
full and optimistic may make their in
1uence felt in the community, the Sec
ond purpose will be a natural conse-
quence, namely. the minimizing of dis
couraging letters to the ''bOys' from
the home fireside. than which there is
perhaps nothing more destructive of
the fighting morale. No army lad in
khaki nor sailor lad in blue can do his
best as fghter-and our country
needs every ounce of fight there is in
them-when his spirit is shaken if not
completely broken by tear-stained, dis
heartening letters from home. . This
work will be continued along practical
lines through local organized effort
aimed to improve the morale Of those
cleft behind" :. ,e,s.,
To give impetus and enthusiasm to
the new movement launched by the
American First Association, its officers
and county vice presidents decided at
their meeting in st. Paul last week to
hold a monster statewide next of kin"
meeting in st. Paul early in June. To
this gathering every father, mother,
brother, sister, wife and sweetheart of
a soldier or sailor from Minnesota will
be invited and it is believed they will
attend by the thousands.
! Every effort is to be made to get
President Wilson as chief speaker. If
the president cannot come it is hoped
to get Secretary Of War Baker or some
other cabinet member or an equally
prominent national character. No eff
fort will be spared to make this gath
ering the most notable yet held in Min
nesota since America entered the
world conflict.
