Boys of II Can Enlist
Before They Will be
Required to Register

A big drive for recruits for the
United States Regular Army is being
conducted throughout the state under
the direction of Major John D. Yost,
Recruiting officer for the Minnesota
District. Special efforts, are being
exerted by all recruiting officers in
the District to get in as many as pos
sible of the men who will be required
to register June under the Selective
Service law. Voluntary enlistment for
men who have attained the age of 81
years since June 5, 1917, will be i'm
possible after they register. From
that time on they will be unable to
select the branch of service in which
they wish to go, and will be compelled
to serve where they are sent.
Innumerable opportunities are now
open for young men in all branches
of the Regular Army. Especially good
opportunities are offered men of
some mechanical training in Engineer
ing Regiments. Men who will have to
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-05-30

register June are urged by Major
Yost not to wait until the last minute
to enlist. A considerable increase lis
already noted throughout the state i'm
the number of young men seeking SER
vice in the Army. This is gradually
expected to develop into a.rush before
the end of the month that will tax
the recruiting machinery of the state
to the limit.
The visit of Corporal Harry A.
Welcome and Private Horace d.
Webster, two of the so veterans of
General Pershing's forces, who have
been touring the state for the past
two, weeks, has done much to arouse
the spirit of men in the district, and
they have been a distinct aid to re
cruiting. They have emphasized the
great need of men in France, and de
livered a message direct from the
front line trenches to the people OF
Minnesota.
The Minnesota District is now set
ting the pace for the rest of the
country in recruiting, and Major Yost
expects to break all previous records
this month.

applies to everyone, no matter when
or how the flour was obtained. Thirty
days supply is determined on the
basis of 6 pounds for each member OF
the household. A family of four may
have 241a pounds, of wheat flour, and
family of eight 40 pounds. Wheat
flour may be purchased only on a 30
SO basis, that is 1 pound of substi-
tute with each pound of wheat flour.
Substitutes may be purchased alone
in any quantity desired.
1t is not assumed that having an
excess of flour on hand makes one a
hoarder. 1t does not. In normal
times it is an indication of thrift and
sensible buying to purchase flour in
reasonable quantities. We do not
want anyone who.is following his nor

flour on hand to feel in any way
that he has done wrong. He has not.

Rev. McNeal, Scotch-1rish Presby-
terrain pastor at Osakis started his
address by stating that he did not feel
sorry for the boys who were about to
embark upon the great adventure he
envied them their good fortune and
their opportunity to go forth and fight
for humanity. Rev. McNeal arraigned
the Kaiser, Won Hindenberg, the
Crown Prince, Prussianism, and the
brutality and selfshness for which
they stand in scathing manner. His
climaxes nearly brought the audience
to their feet many times. The Osakis
mans address rounded out a very en-
joyable program which was brought to
close promptly at three o'clock by
the singing of America accompanied
by the band.
After an informal concert by the
band outside, the Home Guard and
band headed the procession to the
Great Northern depot where the boys
boarded special train bound for
Camp Lewis. The contingents from
Isanti, Mile Laos and Benton county
were already on the train. On leaving
Sank Centre contingents were to be
picked up at Alexandria and Fergus
Falls, making 489 in all. From the
latter point the train was expected to
run straight through to American

rive today, Thursday at noon.

had been suffering with Bright's dis
ease. On the 9th of January 1917 he
had stroke of paralysis and second

to not arnind bringing home the bacon
but return with a piece Of the Rhine. .
The farewells at the depot were sad
of course, but the parents and friends,
realizing the Importance of the mis-
sion which called their sons from their
homes gave them to their country
gladly.

the American army the Huns ,hordes
will be defeated and world wide peace
will eventually be restored.
