vinced 1 became that it was not
built to represent a viking" said
DR.. Theobaldi. "It did not have
the long flowing hair and beard
and the winged helmet of the vik
ings. The statue was that of a man
with a close cropped head of hafr,
a turned UP mustache and German
helmet. To me it was a good re-
production of Kaiser Wilhelm"

{. F. BAKKEN is THE NOMINEE
State Law Says Nominee for Super
visor Does Not Have to Receive
30 Per Cent Vote
Bakken Received Largest Vose and
is Therefore the Legal Nominee
for Supervisor i'm the Fifth

The legal authorities of the state
connected with the Attorney Gener-
ais office, in answer to a letter from
Decorah asking for information as
nominating a supervisor at the
coming convention, calls attention
to the following statute found in
Section 10S7-a 10 of the code sup
'plement:
And a candidate or candidates
of each political party for each Of
flee to be filled by the voters of a
county having received the highest
number of votes shall be duly and
legally nominated as the candidate
of his party for such Office
County attorney Nelson says there
is no question about the constru-
ction of this law and it menas that
it is not necessary to receive the
35 per cent to be nominee for
supervisor The greatest number
of votes is the determining factor.
The convention, therefore, will
have nothing to do with the matter.
This applies to the supervisor sltua-
tion in the 5th district of Winneshiek
county, where f. f. Bakken received
the largest number of votes over
his three opponents. This means
that Il. +. Bakken is the legal
nominee on the Republican ticket.
and the convention next Saturday
will have nothing to do in settling
this matter.

Dear Folks:
Just received the package with
the gun cover and towels. The
cover hts fine and will keep the
dust out in good shape. We have
dirt floor in our tent and when
we sweep out in the mornings the
dust fiys around and gets into
the little hooks and holes in your
gun and it takes about half an hour
steady work to clean it out again.
Now, as it is all covered, it won't
get so dirty and it will take less
work to keep it clean They teach
you in the army that your gun is
your best friend and therefore
Ishould be treated as suca, and
there is sense to 1t too. I'm going
to fill one of those -four sacks and
make a pillow out of it. I've Just
folded my overcoat up and stuck II
under my head for pillow. Our
mattress, or tick, as they call II
in the army, is nothing more than
a large sack filled with straw, but
believe me l sleep sound and COM
Portable just the same. We have
three army blankets, one light and
two heavy ones for covering. I've
found a way to fix them now. SO
l can Keep warm. l just make a
sort of sleeping bag out of them
by spreading them all out on top
OF one another and then folding
once the long way, and then folding
In at the foot and about half way
up the side. Sometimes 1 lay my
pouch over the top and tuck it
in on both sides and at the foot
and then by easing" in carefully
at night when you go to bed am
in a regular bag. l never have
slept uncomfortable yet.
expect there will be a letter
from you tomorrow, but l thought
I'd write you today anyway because
1t has been sometime since / have
written you. There were about a
dozen fellows transferred to the
69th Co. from the 18th, but l was
not taken. But I would just as soon
stay here and let a little more of
this training soak in, because
1T won't be long until the 69th
leaves. The reason I would like
to have been transferred is because
1t is railroad artillery and imagine
that would be interesting.
They are dismounting some os
the guns here and sending them
over. Ours are still here, but they
will go in time 1 guess. We are
having fine weather now and they
are not working us very hard, so
| am getting fat, so the other fell
lows say. Am feeling fine. must
thank you for the cover and towels
and hope this letter finds you all
we'll. sszs,,
Your son.

ed This Month June 8, Started.
Questionnaires Sent Out
Monday
1SO REGISTRANTS In
WINNESHIEK COUNTY
QUestiOnnaires Sent Out i'm Sequence
Of Registration Numbers.
Order Numbers Later

An order was received by the
Winneshiek county draft board on
Saturday to begin the classification
of the men who registered June 5,
1918, and the work of mailing the
questionnaires started here Mon
day.
The questionnaires will be mailed
according to the registration num-
bers of the registrants and the local
board shall defer making any en-
tries in the classification lists until
after the order numbers have been
assigned in accordance with regu-
lations subsequently to be promu.-
gated
The legal advisory board will
again be called on to assist the
registrants in filling out their
questionnaires. The work in this
city will be a small matter this
year as Nthere are only $50 regis
trants to classify.
The re-classification of registrants
of the 1917 draft is not yet COM
pleted. A large number Of question
naires have been set aside and
witnesses will be called in to testify
on these before report is made to
the local draft board
No estimate has been placed on
the number of men who will be
placed in class l.. Physical ex-
aminations of these men will prob
ably start next week, SO that the
class will be strengthened for the
July call
Washington, d. c.. June "a
Wednesday or Thursday of this
week may be fixed as the date for
the drawing of order numbers for
the young men who registered for
the army draft on June 5. An
nouncement of arrangements for the
drawing awaits reports from half a
qozen local boards whose records
are Incomplete.
The drawing will be held with
formal ceremony in the capitol, like
that which fixed the order of nearly
100000 registrants a year ago.
The plan has not been made public
but it is understood to be a modifi-
cation Of the original scheme.
The law provides that the 1918
registrants shall be placed at the
bottom OF the classes to which they
may be assigned by the local boards
on the basis of their questionnaires.
A very large proportion of the
nearly 100000 registered are ex-
pected to go into class one.
