WORK OR FIGHT" ORDER
lessons RECRUITING
(Special to Pioneer J

Minneapolis, July 30.-Despite
most valiant efforts to keep the num-
Der of recruits secured in the Mime
sofa district this month up to the
usual thousand mark at least, it was
unavailing. Army recuriting slump
ed off during the month Of July al
most fifty percent and, while Major
John D. Yost,, recruiting officer for
the district, looked for a slight fall
ing off during the summer months,
he states that he will look to civil
ian recruiting committees through
out the state to make up the loss in
the. months to come.
Major Yost attributes the slump
to the fact that urgent calls for har-
vest hands, from all sections Of the
country and the ''Work or Fight" or
der have sent thousands Of men to
the farms. The slump has affected
states west of here to an even great
er extent than it has Minnesota.
ALI signs point to change in the
draft age limits as soon as congress
reconvenes next month. The con-
census of opinion is that the ages
will be lowered as we'll as raised and
in all probability require the regis
tration of men from 19 to FL years
and from 81 to 40 years of age. Such
changes would prove boon to re-
cruiting as there is always a rush Of
recruits previous to the registration
