MINNESOTA IS ALL RIGHT.
The Minnesota Recruiting District
is somewhat elated over the fact that
in April, 1,103 recruits were secured
in the state, which is believed to be
the highest record in the country
When the final count was made for
May, however, it was found that 1,240
recruits had entered the service. A
rush of men during the last few days
of the month netted 175 May 31, which
was the banner day for the month
The rush was largely of men 21 years
of age, who would have been com
pelled to register June 5. This as
Major John D. Yost, Recruiting Officer
for the Minnesota District says
"Shows conclusively that Minnesota is
back of the boys at the front, and can
be counted on for whole-hearted sup
port at all times."
