TWO GILDERMAN BOYS ENLIST IN GUARD AND ARMY

Pink Cards Are Sent to Quota of Drafted Men in the First County Division.

    There is one family at Proctor that is doing its bit.

    It is that of H. G. Gilderman, who is clerk of the local draft board of the first county division.

    Clerk Gilderman who is also municipal judge at Proctor was in the city yesterday checking over the first quota to depart for Camp Dodge this week.

    He was indeed surprised when his son, Walter L. Gilderman, walked into headquarters attired in uniform, a member of the Fourth regiment.

    Scarcely had Walter left the headquarters when in walked Arthur G. Gilderman, another son, who informed his father that he too had enlisted in the Tenth engineering corps.

Supper at Spalding.

    There was supper last night at the Spalding, after which the father returned to his post and certified 65 who will leave next Saturday over the Northern Pacific railroad for Camp Dodge.

    The men were all mailed pink cards yesterday to report at 1:30 o'clock Friday afternoon and be ready to leave at 12:10 p.m. next Saturday.

    To prove that Clerk Gilderman's heart is in the right place there will be a brass band to escort the first county division to the train, and details of the parade will be arranged at a meeting of the Liberty league to be held at Proctor tonight.

    Here are the 65 who will represent the first quota to entrain from Duluth, with the last eight as extras, for full measure, who have been selected in accordance with the telegram received from Governor J. A. A. Burnquist yesterday. The quota from the first county district follows:
