American men of military age who

bring their birth certificates. They
will need them and more to convince
the British authorities they are not
super-slackers. The super-slackers- =
men who have failed to register un-
der the military conscription act
are daily falling into the net which
the war ONCE has set for them.
Americans are being netted in al
most every haul. If they fail to have
the documentary evidence handy they
are liable to remain as guests" of

Ambassador Pages Office can look up
the records.
When a crowded tube train arrived
at its terminus a few days ago, the
male passengers were herded into a
big enclosure. Two men who had
evaded conscription wept. Others
hastily sent for their wives and the
necessary papers. An american news
paper man, whose name is well known

ever, led a score of men off to the
district police station. where they

OF registration cards held by all

there is something for everybody to

Of Agriculture
Burn CarCaSSeS

Hog cholera will never be elimi-
mated and not reduced very much
unit! every carcass from a cholera
herd is burned. Farmers should
not permit carcasses to lie out in
the field for dogs and buzzards to
Get and spread the disease. In fact,
sick hogs should not be allowed to
run out in big fields or along the
roads. If farmers will learn to
vaccinate their own herds or join a
neiehborhood club with one man to
do it at once when cholera gets into
the neiehborhood and arrange with
some good banker to keep the ser
um on hand the loss from hog chol-
era can be greatly reduced.
