SEEKING RECRUITS FOR THE NAVY HERE

The Navy Recruiting Truck “Hoosier,” arrived Sunday and is parked on the court house square. It is here in interest of getting recruits for the United States navy. Men from 17 to 35 years old may enlist for a period of 2, 3 or 4 years. The opportunities offered by the navy at present are the greatest ever known, with all its trade schools open and there are 57 trades which can be learned in the Navy. The truck has a moving picture machine and will give a free show Tuesday night on the Court House lawn about 8 o’clock or as soon as it becomes dark enough. Many interesting travel pictures will be shown and the life of a Jack Tar on the briny deep. Everyone is invited to call at the truck and consult one of the men there in regards to the advantages gained by an enlistment in the Navy, where education is obtained from travels and also study. The Truck is in charge of Wm. C. Rieser, chief electrician, and will remain in Rensselaer until the morning of July 1, so call any time for further information.
