(Special to Daily Derrick.)
St. Paul, Minn., April 23.—The
prize package patriot has been discov-
ered here. Sergeant Carl Hauge of
the local United States marine recruit-
ing force encountered him.
"Don't you want to enlist?" the
sergeant asked him.
"No, I guess not."
"Why?"
"Well, it certainly isn't because I'm
not patriotic. Why, if it wasn't for
the war I'd have been in the service
long ago."
The sergeant was carried back to
the recruiting station in a coma. He
will recover.

cial corps at Stillwater,
He explains that the new regiment
will be distinctly Oklahoma's own. It
will never lose its identity and it is
hoped to raise a regiment which will
be a credit to the state and to the
communities which furnish the com-
panies.
If a company is raised here a fed-
eral instructor will be detailed to this
place and training will begin at once.
The regiment will not be inducted into
"ederal service until trained, the lat-
ter part of the training being given
at one of the camps. A second regi-
ment cf national guard is being raised
in each state in the union.
A big patriotic meeting is planned
for Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock
at some place to be announced later.
Instructor Harlow will speak and the
men of this vicinity will be given their
last opportunity to enroll in the home
company. Response has already been
felt from men anxious to join the
army in a "home unit" and it is ex-
pected that the rolls wiil be fairly
well filled by Saturday.
