REGISTRATION TO Be A GALA AFFAIn

A report from another state is that
it hopes to clear up its registration du-
ties in such short order that it may
claim to being first in race prompted
by patriotic duty. If this spirit is felt
in other of the country's common
wealths, an interesting and somewhat
lively contest will take place as to
which can make the first completed
report of duty well done.
1t is not to be a difficult thing for
the officials to carry out the govern
ment's instructions on registration day
and to complete the labor in hand. The
men who must register in accordance
with the requirements of the law will
find registration easy. Full instruc-
lions will be issued and can easily be
secured. There is nothing hard nor
in the least involved in the series of
questions which are to be answered.
Directness of question Is the method
employed, and directness of answer
will make all things easy for the men
of the country and for the govern
ment which is to claim their service.
The questions which are to be an
swered involve comparatively few sub
jects: The name in full; the age in
years; the home address; the date of
birth; the quality of citizenship, ma
tive born, naturalized, or the condition
of declaration of intention; the place
of birth, trade, occupation, or office;
employment, and by whom employed;
dependents If any; married or single;
race, former military service and
where it was rendered, and lastly,
claims of exemption from draft with
the specific grounds therefor.
Easy to Answer.
These constitute virtually all the
questions which the man whose age
makes him subject to registration will
be called upon to answer. With the
questions there will be explanations
of how they are to be answered, and
suggestions will be made for brevity.
The war department officials do not
believe that there will be many diff
ficulties in the way of completing the
work of registration day properly and
quickly. Several of the states have
relieved the government entirely OF
expense connected with the work of
securing complete registration; in fact
helpfulness seems to be common to the
country. It is believed by the govern
| ment officials that the spirit of field
service will be in keeping with that
which has marked the activities in all
| matters connected with the new ne
tional army from the beginning.

CAN PLAY WITHOUT CAPTAIN
sdea of Field Leader Is Joke to Man.
aaer Lee Foil of Cleveland
Will Act Himself.

The Cleveland club will not have
captain this season. Lee Foil, mana
ger of the club, will act in the dual
capacity of captain and manager. THE
idea of a captain is a joke to my way
of thinking" Foil explained. The
captain of a ball team has no more
power than a manager on the bench,
providing the manager is in uniform,
and I'll be out there every day."

Newark is to pull a comeback in
baseball. This was evidenced when
1000 fans turned out to see the first

FIRE DESTROYS HOME

destroyed by fire last Tuesday after
noon. The house was occupied by
Mrs. Hogensen and her son-ln- la W

when the fire broke out and 1t was
not discovered until II had gained
such headway that 1t was impossible
to save any OF the contents. The fire
department was unable to render any
service, as the fire plug was frozen
up. However, II would have done no

that were saved we're some clothe =

cannot be made to corporations.
Violation OF any of the provisions
renders the purchaser liable to set

market value Of the material.
Free Use
The third class of timber business
is perhaps the most widely known.
This is the free use business, by
which people needing fuel, fencing
material and other products, are al
lowed to take dead timber from the
forest, free of charge. Green aspen,
also, is given under free use, for
fencing or for fuel, under certain
conditions. Free use is granted to
settlers, miners, residents and pros
pectors, and also to organizations
or persons wishing to build bridges,
telephone lines, and other improve
ments tending to make the forest
more accessible or better protected
from fire. The sale of material OBJ
tanned under free use is forbidden by
law.
Permits Required
On the Caribou forest free use
material cannot be taken without
permit in emergencies. OF course,
this restriction does not apply to
persons simply going through the
country, who need little wood for
camp fires. 1t should be remem-
bered also that phone message, or
postal mailed to the nearest for
est officer, will bring a permit by
the next mail, In most cases, al
though 1t is better to apply for the
timber q few weeks before it is
needed. Should any emergency
arise, making 1t necessary to take
timber without permit, the ranger
In charge of the district must be noti-
fled at once. In applying for a per
NIT, the following information is
needed, viz:
Name and address OF permittee:
location OF timber desired; exact
amount and kind OF timber; use to
to which material is to be put.
