COMPANY K BUSY
RECRUITING NEW MEN
Campaign On To Fill Vacancies In
Ranks Caused By Twenty En-
listments Expiring.

Company K began recruiting
campaign last Wednesday to fill va
cancies in the ranks caused by the
fact that twenty enlistments expired
August %. Several recruits have al
ready been secured. Next Sunday
the new men and the members of
the Company will mobilize at $3.50 in
the afternoon with field equipment
to go to Lake Pomme de Terre to
camp over night. 1t will be the first
time the men have established camp
with their own equipment.
Access to a splendid club room, a
chance to play on a strong basket
ball team and dance every Monday
night for Company men are a few of
the inducements offered to new re-
cruits. A club will be organized
early this fall which will have as
its place of meeting fine club room
in the new armory. The club room
will be open to members day and
night. New members will undergo
imitation when they are taken in. The
organization was started by non-com-
missioned officers.
$50 far Company K has had the
reputation for being one of the best
companies in the state," said Captain
c. L. Voss, "but if we are to continue
to have good company the young
men of the community must interest
themselves in it and help carry it
along"
Drill will be by no means the only
exercises offered to Company men.
Indoor baseball, handball and as fast
as possible fully equipped gymnas-
ium will be added for the amusement
of the company. Dances and enter
tainments will be given often. A
dance for members only will be held
every Monday night after drill. Drill
will be from 1880 to\9:3O O'Clock.
The fact that National Guard now
comprises two thirds of the nations
defence makes it imperative that it

COURSE In POULTRY
CULLING NEXT WEEK
Mr.. Chapman Of University Will
Teach Culling At Hancock and
Chokio, Sept. 16 and II.

N. E. Chapman of the Extension
Department of the University of Min
nesota will conduct a free poultry
culling school at Hancock and Cho-
kio next Friday and Saturday, Sep
tember 16 and II respectively for the
benefit of the farmers and women
from farms interested in the poultry
industry. The same work will be COW
cred in both towns. The course will
enable anyone to pick out laying hens
from non-laying in his farm flock in
order to give attention and care to
the producing ones. It is hoped that
people from every township in the
county will make a point of going
to either Hancock or Chokio to at
tend the course.
The sessions will be from $50 to
1890 o'clock in the morning and
from 1870 to $3.50 in the afternoon.
Instruction will be given in the morn
ing and actual experience in culling
a farm flock under the supervision of
Mr.. Chapman in the afternoon.
II strongly recommend the course
for any farmer interested in the
poultry business" said Allen w. Ed
son, county agent in speaking of the
poultry culling school. ga man can
gain a sufficient knowledge of poul-
try culling in a day from Mr.. Chap
mans course to enable him to Gull
his own flock and to make it unneces-
sary to hire professional cullers at 5
cents head as some counties are do
ing"
Mr.. Edison said it is because the
marginal profits in the poultry are
larger than in any other kind of ag-
ricultural business that anything to
increase the effcieny of a flock is so
worth while.
Poultry men who took Chicken"
Chapman's course when he was in
Morris in July can testify that he
knows enough about chickens to war
rant his nickname. Men interested
are asked to remember the date and
spread the news among their neigh
bors.
