following his approval of this bill. or
dering the registration and stating
the ages ofthose who are subject to
the enrolment.
1t has been decided by the WAY De

e---- Of the state, meaning fhe~ah the
r alarly appointed clerks and that
the precincts shall be made ne BIS sis

shall be in charge of the usual offs e~s
and shall be made in the booths OF

notify he election officers Of vour
county in the same manner that YOU
follow in regular elections. You will
receive final instructions for this from,
the Secretary of State of Wisconsin.
The necessary blanks and stationery
has been forwarded to the sheriff OF
each county by the order of the Secre-
tary of War. Because of a change
made in the method of securing this
registration the blanks should go to

The Legislature has passed a bill,
a copy of which [ enclose herewith,
which, as you will note, provides that
the expenses of this registration shall
be paid in the same manner as the ex-
penses of an election are paid. / wish
to say, however, in this connection
that the election inspectors will per-
form patriotic duty if they would
render this service gratutiously. We
must all bear in mind that this is a
matter that has been made necessary
because of war and that the public ex-
penditures will be large, and that ev-
cry citizen should be willing to con-
tribute his mite to the work that we
have before US. [, therefore, ask you
to say to the inspectors that while the
town or municipality will pay this SER
vice if it is demanded, nevertheless,
we shall look upon it with much IA
vor if it is rendered without charge.
| shall issue proclamation imme-
dIately after the receipt OF the procla-
nation of the president which will
give further details. | write this let
ter to you today in order that you can
make the necessary preparations, so
that the registration will proceed
promptly as soon as it is ordered by
the President and the dates have. been
fixed.
Kindly acknowledge receipt of this
letter and advise me, particularly on
the point of whether or not you have
received the printed matter from
Washington from the sheriff. Also
state that you have made the arrange
ments necessary to do the work sue
cessfully.
Yours very truly,
E. L. Philip.

Several hundred people, informally,
gathered at the G. NJ. & St. Paul de-

the boys who left for Fort Sheridan,

They were Earl Hill, Harold Bah

Schwebke. All the boys were made to
feel that they had the good will of all
the people in the community where
they had been born, educated, and rails
ed to manhood. They were also made
to feel that they possessed the pa
triotism that all young and old men
ofthis country should possess: They
certainly took with them the hearty
we'll wishes of everybody, whether at
the station to say good bye, or whether
they were obliged to stay away on ac-
count of other duties thatdemanded
