RECRUITING BRISK
FOR U. S. ARMY HERE
Fairbury Youth Disappointed
When Rejected by Navj Be
cause Too Tall.
INSISTS HE BE ADMITTED
Recruiting was especially astive in
the army yesterday, when the total of
eighty-five came within four of equal,
ing the highest previous score for a
day. It wai also a good day for the
navy. .
Mont Munn of Fairbury, one of the
navy volunteers, was heart-broljen
when refused enlistment because he
was too tall. Although only 17 years
of age and still growing he measures
six feet and three and three-quarters
inches tall, barefooted, and weighs
186 pounds stripped. The maximum
height of navy men is ordinarily re
stricted to six feet even.
He was so eager to join the fight
ing fleet that he begged ur. Lochran
to try to net a waiver of his excess
height. The recruiters wired for per-
mission to enlist the giant.
Munn's father, now dead, was six
feet five inches tall and a brother, W.
H. Munn, a Nebraska university foot
ball player known as "Big" Munn, is
an inoh taller and weighs 225 pounds.
The navy volunteer came from Fair,
bury with three high school mates,
Kenny Houck, Earl Sweeney and
Ward Archer, who were enlisted as
apprentice seamen.
Munn wants to enter the navy hos
pital corps. He was tenter of the
high school foot ball team and the
other three were guards and quarter
back,' respectively. Fifteen Fairbury
lads so far have joined the navy.
Maiming Strong for Army.
Pharmacist's' Mate Emmett Chap
man made 2,028 perfect finger prints
Wednesday in getting out the enlist
ment papers of fifty-two men. Thirty
nine finger prints have to be made for
every enlistment.
Manning, la., is leading all towns of
from 500 to 10,000 population in this
district in the number of army re
cruits, furnished in proportion to pop
ulation. It scored eighteen enlist
ments out of 1,000 population since
April 1. Hartington ranks second in
the district end first in Nebraska
among towns of that class.
The Fourth regiment, Nebraska Na
tional Guard, is now practically re
cruited to peace strength of 1,300.
Among cities of over 50,000 popu
lation Sioux City has the highest per
centage of enlistments in the district
with twenty-six out of 54,000 popula
tion. Des Moines ranks second in its
class with forty-two oat of 97,000 pop
ulation, Omaha is third, having fur
nished forty-five enlistments in the
period from an official War depart
ment "population of 133,000. '
The smaller towns are sending in
the larger percentages of soldiers,
Captain McKinley says. '
. Gopd-sized groups of army recruits
are coming from many towns. Thurs
day Manning, la., and Harlan,' la.,
eachj.sent twelve and Hartington,
Neb., sent thirteen. , '
lyme to Keep Jobs for
Employes Who Enlist
M&naeer Byrne of the- Orpheum
theater will train women for posi-i
tions in his House to meet any emer
gency which may arise in connection
with the war situation. He baa ad?
vised employes who have no depen
dents that their - places will be re
turned to them if they .enlist. .This
action h in line with telegraphic in
structions from . General Manager
Martin Beck of the Orpheum circuit.
Mr. Beck's policy is to aid the enlist
ment movement and to care for Or
pheum employes at the end of their
enlistment period.
One of the boxes at the Orpheum
has been designated as military box.
Local attaches of the navy will oc
cupy this box once a week;, and the
spotlight will be turned on them to
direct attention to Uncle Sam's navy.
Stodden is Sent to Jail;
Recover Brarateis' Goods
Fred J. Stedden, 1823 Capitol ave
nue, in whose room police found $200
worth of goods stolen from the Bran
deis stores, was sentenced to ninety
days in jail on three separate charges
of petit larceny. Each sentence was
for thirty days.
Although the aggreate value of the
articles taken was rfiore than enough
to warrant indictment for grand lar
ceny; the court said that charge could
not be sustained because he stole the
goods in quantities so small that each
theft constituted only petit larceny,

MONOMANIACS MAKE
LAWS FORJEBRASKA
Penn Fodrea . Tells Laundry
Owners that State Legisla
tors Are "Nutty."
BUT ARE NOT CORRUPT
For Skin Irritation
There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and that
cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 25c or JI bottle
of aemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blaclc heads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo. thetnenetratin?. satis
fying liquid, is all at is needed, for it
banishes all skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth and health
Tin B, W. Itom Co Cleveland,
"Such an array of hobby horse rid
ers as we have in the Nebraska legis
lature at present perhaps never was
assembled before," said Penn P.
Fodrea of the Iten Biscuit company
in his address before the Nebraska
Laundry Owners' association in con
vention at the Henshaw hotel Friday
morning,.
His subject was "How to Meet Fu
ture Legislation."
"It seems that any man who had a
hobby of any kind last year was able
to get before the primaries and be
elected," the speaker continued.
"I don't compare the legislature to
an insane asylum far be it from me.
But did you ever talk to inmates of
an asylum? You will find ordinarily
that they are entirely rational on all
topics except one their hobby. Now,
some of our legislators are the same
way they are rational until. you touch
upon their hobby, and then they are
as nutty as the others I mentioned."
Percent of Honesty..
Right on too of -this Mr. Fodrea
paid the present legislature a high
compliment. "The present legisla
ture," he said, "I believe, is singularly
free from men who can be reached by
corrupt means. It has fewer of them
than some of the former legislatures
had,"
The sneaker said during the last
two sessions no legislation particular
ly detrimental to employers of labor
had been enacted.
"For that, he declared, you have
the Nebraska Manufacturers' associa
tion to thank. Yes. and the situation
is due largely to the fact that we have
had Commissioner frank 1. Kmger
of the association on the job all the
time.
"It is a crvine shame, too., that
when he has needed help tiom asso.
ciation members they have not re
sponded. 4 here are . members, who
answer such an appeal by saying,
'What the deuce have we got an as.
sociation for? Why don't the officers
do it?' The fact is one man" or two
men or the officers of an association
cannot do the close personal work
that Is necessary before the commit
tees in the legislature in order to get
the things they want.
No Sight to Censure. '
Mr. Fodrea showed that there are
only two manufacturers in the house
and two in the senate. He deplored
this. He said the manufacturers have
no right to censure if they do not
take more interest at the polls.
It you want to earn the right to
criticise, he said, then be a citi
zen. - Go to the primacies and to the
elections ana see that the right men
are elected."
He cautioned them also against
electing the man who promises to do
something for them. - -
"Nine times out xf ten vbu'll find
he's a liar," he said. , "We don't want
men pledged t9 u; .- Whpt'.we want
is to elect meji of the best grade of
average intelligence ,nd't common
sense. ' 7,'"
The time to.orenare for the 1919
legislature is now. sUo not wait un
til that legislature is elected and in
session." --: . .-. ... ..

FIERCE STORM HAS
EHYELOPED TOT
Communication Out Off on All
Railroad Lines in West,
era Section.
MILES Or WISES 00 DOWN
All parts of Nebraska west of Tren
ton on the Burlington, Central City
on the Union Pacific and Long Fine
on the Northwestern are completely
cut off from communication with the
outside world, so -far as telegraph
service is concerned.
The storm of rain and snow that
has continued over all Nebraska, Col
orado and Wyoming since early
Thursday night fails to show any
signs of abatement through the east
ern and central, portions of the state
and just what is happening in the
western part of the state ne one
knows.
On the Northwestern, somewhere
west of Long Pine, the wires went
down during the night and since then
no word has been received from the
northwest country. At the time of
the break In the wire service a bl li
zard was raging from Chadron,
through western Nebraska and Into
Wyoming. East of there it was rain
and snow continuing ta fall during the
morning, the precipitation generally
having reached around an inch or
more. '
Somewhere west of Central City
the Union Pacific wire went down
during the night and no communica
tion has since been held with the
country to the west. Early in the
night high wind and rain was report
ed from North Platte, east, with snow
and a blitzard beyond.
Storm Most Severe.
That the storm along the Union
Pacific has been severe is the opinion
of officials. Linemen end material,
during the night and early morning,
went forward to get the telegraph line
in working order at the earliest pas
sible date, which Is now set for some
time Saturday. Six tons of wire and
nearly fifty men went west on a spe-
pcial train early in the morning.
Un the Burlington, when the last
wire report reached headquarters
shortly after midnight, 1,000 poles
and sixty miles of wire had gone
down between Trenton, this state, and
Wray, Colo.
In the storm cone through which
the wires are working reports come
of e nywhere from one to four inches
of snow and rain, mixed. Generally
the snow melts about as fast as it
fall.
