ON JURY DUTY

Mrs. Mclaughlin, the registrar, re-
ports that at 2.30 this afternoon there
had been las women and 20 men regis
tered for the school election which
will be held next Saturday All wo-
men who desire to vote must register
either this evening or Monday and all
men whose names are not on the
latest great register.
There seems to be several mlsappre-
tensions regarding this registration,
1t will not hold good for the fall cleo
ton, but is for the school election
alone. Many women are not register
ing because they fear it will make
them liable to jury duty The law,
however, explicitly states that such IS
not the case, as those eligible may be
empaneled, whether they are on the
registration list or not. Besides, the
selections made for the venires are
only for unmarried women, Divorces
and widows, so there is nothing to
prevent registration, and the mere
fact that a persons name is enrolled
does not make voting compulsory,
