at . o'clock. All officers had been
elected. 1t is hoped that the interest
manifested this year will far exceed
that of last year. No one should re-

are purely for the betterment Of the
conditions that surround our school.

Former Willmar Boy Goes to

mar boy:
&c. H. Ellingson, cashier for Arthur
u. Jones & Co., was selected yester
DAY as secretary of the state bOarC

effective August q.
Mr. ElllngsOn has been associated
with the Arthur D. Jones company
for the last eight years, coming here
from Minnesota, where he was an
employee in the auditors office OF
the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. EllingsOn is an accountant and
student of law. Two years ago he
passed the state bar examination at
Olympia. He is prominent figure
in local democratic circles. Previous
to this appointment he had made ap-
plication for service in the Y. M. G..
\. in France, but as yet had received
no orders from the, government. His
home address is E427 Twenty-third
avenue"
Later the following item appeared
OeOlS sc w. DelI JI., was dppOluLeu

who was previously named for the
position, subsequently declined, to
enter Y. NJ. c. A. service with the

MAJOR YOST TAKES A
FEW DAYS. REST
Recruiting in Minnesota in Hands
of Lieut.. Stephen DaCosta.
Work is Still Limited.

Raising the maximum age limit for
enlistment in the United States Army
has not resulted in securing very
many recruits. The fact that only
men between the ages at 46 to IS
years are now accepted, means a
heavy percentage of reflections. In
addition only men who are qualified
by special training for staff corps are
accepted.
There is no change in the status Of
the Recruiting Service as yet. No
definite word has been received as to
what action will be taken. The gener-
al belief is that with the passage of
the new draft act, enlistments may
possibly be allowed in the various
military branches for limited period.
Every effort will be made, however,
to prevent the disruption of industries.
Rush of applicants for enlistment has
always resulted from any announce
ment of change in draft age limits.
1t was to prevent just such an oc-
currence that the lid was clamped on
recruiting for all branches of the serv-
ice August Sth.
Pending Encouragement of the Re-
cruiting Service, Major John D. Yost,
Recruiting Officer for the Minnesota
District, has availed himself of ten
days leave of absence recently grant
ed. The ten days will be spent in
Washington, D. C. In his absence the
district will be in command of Lieut.
enant S. Stephen DaCOsta who has
been Assistant Recruiting Officer
since last December and is we'll known
throughout the state.
