Recruiting Station In Mankato
Is In Charge of Jack
Mueller

The army recruiting service is
charged with the task of obtaining
SO 900 men as rapidly as possible fol
immediate over sea duty with the
army of occupation in Germany, to
relieve all men of the present ex-
peditionary force. Men must also DC
recruited for service in the United
States, as all men who were enlisted
for the present emergency are due FOL
discharge four months after the peace
treaty is signed. A most extensive
recruiting campaign will be carried
on to raise this new army. With the
closing of hostilities and not much
possible chance of seeing actual wal
service anymore some men may see
no necessity of enlisting at present
but every youngster and every former
service man who was deprived of the
opportunity of getting abroad should
give this proposition careful con-
sideration.
Applicants Go To Jefferson Barracks
Applicants will be forwarded to
Jefferson Barracks, Mo. The age
limit is for original enlistment from
eighteen to forty years, inclusive, ex-
cept that for staff corps and depart
ments the age limit will be fifty five
years. The terms of enlistment are
for one and three years. None are en- :
listed for one year who have not had
previous service in the army, navy
or marine corps Service with the re-
serve is not required. The pay remains
Gov. univ fn-
Men enlisting for three years may
be discharged after expiration of one
year under rules to be fixed by the
secretary of war. To oversee service
will be assigned only men enlisted
for three years, and as many as pos
sible will be given this service, $4,000
men being planned on. Men having
had previous service may enlist for
one or three years. Men who have
not yet received their $50 bonus may
apply at the local recruiting station
later on. At present no duplicate
discharge certificates have arrived to
carry out this work.
Mueller In Charge.
Sergeant Jack Mueller, who was
formerly in charge of the Mankato

here, and has his office over Steiner's
Drug store. He recently returned
from two months spent at Jefferson
Barracks, and five months at Camp
Bowe, Texas, where he was drilling
infantry. Recruiting officers were
not allowed to leave their recruiting
duties until too late to get in the
actual fighting overseas, although they
were hoping to do so.

URGED HAWK Staying
GAME PROTECTIVE LEAGUE
TOOK ACTION LAST NIGHT
War Was Declared On Black.
Birds and Other Pestiferous
Air Inhabitants

War was declared on crows, sharp
Skinned hawks, great horned owls
and blackbirds at the meeting of the
Southern Minnesota Game, Fish and
Bird Protective league held at the
Elks club last evening. These birds,
it is considered, do more harm to the
desirable songsters than any others
and concerted effort will be made
to drive them out of this vicinity.
Until further notice the game
league will pay ten cents for each
crow, sharp Skinned hawk or great
horned owl head which is delivered
to the Mankato Fur and Hide COM
pany, POI North Front street. This
offer is good bounty for the birds
and will result, it is expected in
many of the birds being killed.
War On Biackbirds.
After considerable discussion the
members of the league agreed upon a
certain method of making war
against the blackbirds. Troughs will
be built to hold corn and will be
placed in the marches, rushes and
lakes where the blackbirds commonly
nest. These troughs will be filed
with poisoned corn and there is no
doubt but that many blackbirds will
be killed in this manner
Two committees were appointed to
look after the fish and the duck in
terests by the league. S. B. Wilson,
George Wiedemann and G. X Mayer
will be in charge of the fish inter-
ests and the committee to look after
the welfare of the ducks is composed
of Roy Allison, Henry Madison and
DR.. Stephan.
Will Attend Banquet
On April the Minnesota Game
Protective league will hold a banquet
at the West hotel in Minneapolis and
the league here WIS asked to send
a delegation to attend. Roy Allison
and George Pond were named to at
tend the gathering.
President Pond reported that at
the outlet to Washington Lake, where
a screen had been placed sometime
ago the current was very swift and
crappies were washed down against
the screen and injured. He stated
that William PolZin and himself went
out yesterday afternoon and put in a
wire screen farther up in the outlet
so that the crappies would not be
swept into the current.

RALPH COUCH.

Washington, April S.-The Ameri
can farmer will turn out the greatest
winter wheat crop in history this
year according to the latest official
estimates. At present it is thought
the total yield will be S37,000,O0G
bushels which is 27S,551 bushels
more than last year. Only floods or
drought can check this yield to any
aprreciable extent. At the rate of
$2.26 a bushel guaranteed price this
will yield the farmers a total of ST.
S91 100000.
That the farmers did their part in
raising this amount is shown by the
increase in the percentage of acre
age planted. In Wisconsin there was
an increase of eight per cent, in Min
nesota ten per cent and in South
Dakota twelve per cent.
