The most brilliant, spine-thrilling pa
triotic drama ever made into motion
picture-a picture to challenge the

Heroes and towards transformed in

MINNESOTA CLIMBING up
Major Yost Says State 10 Climbing
Towards Top In Matter Of
Enlistmef,ts.

Major Yost Says State 10 Climbing
Towards Top In Matter Of
Enllstmehts.
minnesota is slowly but surely
climbing to the head of the list, in the
matter Of securing recruits for the
United States Army" said Major John
D. Yost, Recruiting Officer of the Min
nesota District, recently In discussing
recruiting activities in the state. Dur
ing the month OF January about 600
men were enlisted from this state for
service in the Regular Army. Indica-
tions at the present time are that the
month Of February will produce an
even greater number of men. Up to
the middle of the month $50 men had
been secured, and recruiting was quite
active at all stations.
The gradual climb in Minnesota
started, according to Major Yost with
the inception of Civilian Recruiting
Committees. About 80 committees
have been organized in the district and
| they have proved untiring In their ef-
forts to secure men for the Army. The
sinking of the Tuscania with the loss
Of hundreds of Americans acted as a
stimulus to recruiting, and the active
participation of U. S. forces, in holding
sector of the line in France, has done
much to arouse the fighting spirit of
all Americans. Dozens of men, who
already have passed the three score
year mark have applied for enlistment
at the various stations in the state,
and were genuinely disappointed when
informed by the officers that their age
was the only thing that barred them
from service.
The needs of the Army which can
only be supplied by men, men and
more men, are increasing daily. Ev
cry branch Of the service is calling
for men. Mechanics, farmers, horse
men, clerks, in fact men. of every
known trade or profession are needed
Immediately, if America is to emerge
from the present struggle victorious
An exhibit of war relics picked ur
on the battlefields of Europe, which
was recently displayed at the Army
booth during the Minneapolis Auto
Show, and is now being shown at thu
Duluth Auto Show, will be used b,
Major Yost to awaken further interes
in recruiting. The exhibit in charg,
Of competent man will be sent to al
parts Of the state, to acquaint the pub
lie with some of the devices used il
I. modern warfare, and also with the gen
= era1 equipment of the q. S. Infantry
man. It proved one of the bigges
, drawing cards at both the Minneapoli
= and Duluth Auto Shows, and vii
y doubtless do much to aid recruiting i
the state.

GOVERNMENT WANTS WOMEN
 FOR THE MUNITION PLANTS

The War Department authorizes the following statement from the Ord nance Department.
 '@The demand for women workers in plants engaged in the manufacture of munitions of war is mot expected by the Army Ordnance Deparament to lessen as a result of the work or fight order for all men of draft age issued by the Provost Marshal Gen .SraL
 More than 1000 women now are working in one plant engaged in the manufacture of big guns, and more are needed. A plant in Minnesota has a large class of women appren- tices in training to run machines on all light operations in the production of carriages for great guns. ''The business of training women for war work is proceeding on a large scale. At a loading plant now build ing in New Jersey women who will act as instructors for other womer are being trained in the loading ot powder by loading chips of wood into silk bags"

APPAREL AT THE
 CHEERFUL CREDIT STORE

Everybody looks forward to the summer vacation from the tiniest tot to the oldest man. Everyone has put in a busy winter and spring with all the extra work the war has caused. They were all glad to do it, too, but now they are beginning to talk vaca- tions.
 Vacations mean preparation before hand-we all need certain special clothes for this time The Caesar Misch Stores at Main, Golden Hill and Middle streets are offering vacation 'togs" for the whole family at special prices tomorrow. Men, women, boys and girls may go there and be out fitted from top to toe in the newest and stylish wearing apparel.
 Their terms of Cheerful Credit are freely offered to all. These terms en- able you to buy what you want when you want it and pay no money at the time Of purchase and only $1 a week thereafter Sntil the price is paid.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-06-14
THE EXTRA DIVIDEND OUTLOOK

very conservative attitude is be- ing taken in banking channels with regard to large extra dividends during the remainder of the war They are inclined to discourage enthusiastic ex- pectations in this connection because of big earnings.
 The latest proposal to impose upon companies doing war work huge tax is looked upon as certain to exert a very cautious position on the part of directors with regard to paying more than the present regular dividend rate The fact that practically all the steel output of the country will be reuuir- ed for war production during the present year strongly suggests the wisdom of conservative speculative position in this group so far as big bonuses are concerned.
 We believe it will be good policy for active investors to weigh this new war tax factor carefully when mak- ing commitments in anticipation of advances in prices based on large earnings and the disposition hereto fore made of them. While there is a far better control over production costs than previously, the fundament- al tendency continues to display movement toward higher levels, so that the cost handicap remains. But the main consideration in our Judgment, is the fact that the senti-
 ment of the Nation is strongly grow ing in favor of making war profits pay
 war bills just as far as it may be
 possible so to do without impairine eficiency.-Stockholders Weekly.
