SOMETHING IN THIS NAME

Patriotic Young Man Who Signs Himself ‘'Loda Gunn” Registers for Military Service. Kansas City, Mo.—A patriotic young man, with a warlike name, went to the city clerk’s office and registered for military service. On the registration blank he wrote his signature as “Loda Gunn.” He acknowledged that the name carried a suggestion of war but did him justice, because he was pretty handy with guns. He expressed a desire to go to the front nnd get a chance to load a gun for Uncle Sam. He was sick registration day, June 5, and was not able to sign up until today, he said.
