PREP RAT|ON FOR
.R EGISTRAT|ON IS
ALMOST COMPLETE

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 11.-An-
other step in building up the selective
CONSUMPTION army. is taken with the
distribution of a circular by Provost
Marshall General Crowder, notifying
the registered men to hold themselves
in readiness for appearance before the
board which will conduct examinations
and consider exemptions.
Exemptions are to be determined by
the local boards, the circular shows,
only for the previously announced
specified causes, such as responsible
ity for the support of the relatives, and
not for agricultural or industrial rea-
sons. Seven days after the designa-
tions are posted will be allowed for
filing claims. Then there will be an
additional allowance of ten days for
filing proofs. and the board must de-
eide within three days after the proof
is filed.
NdutS VII Dc UStCus
When the case of any registrant has
been disposed Of as far as the local
board is concerned, the names of those
not exempted or discharged, will be
posted. Claims for exemption for ag-
ricultural or industrial work must be
made within five days after such post
ing and must go direct to the higher
board sitting for the judicial district.
Appeals from the ruling of the local
boards must be made to the higher
board within ten days
The circular does not cover the sum
moning of the men for actual service,
pointing out that selection and accep-
lance does not mean an immediate
summons. Then the time of the draw
ing is not specified, but issuance of the
circular is taken to mean that the
work of selection may be in progress
within few days.
The steps a registered person should
take are set forth in great detail in
the circular. First of all the registrant
| is advised to find out the location OF
the office of his county or city local
board and then ascertain, if he intends
to claim exemption for agricultural or
industrial reasons, to what district
board he must apply.
Cards Are Numbered.
every board has numbered the cards
in it's jurisdiction with red ink in a
series running from l to the number
representing the total number of cards
in its jurisdiction" continues the cir
cular. Lists showing the names of
persons in the jurisdiction of each
board and the red ink number of each
card are open to inspection at the Of
fee Of each board. Inspect the list and
inform yourself of your red ink serial
number
THE red ink numbers are to be
drawn in lot to determine the order in
which registered persons are to be
called by the various local boards.
LAS soon as quotas are assigned to
each state and each board, each board
will call upon persons whose cards are
in it's jurisdiction, instructing them to
present themselves for examination.
This call will be posted at the local
board and the papers will be requested
to print it. A notice will also be
mailed you, but the posting of the list
at the office of the board will be
deemed sufficient notice to charge you

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Since the following from the
Pierre Capital journal was put in
type. we are informed that soft
coal can now he had at Gettysburg
or~SS.5 80 per ton, and we presume
other kinds in proportion. This is
about the same prices as prevailed
here last winter. But it is worth
while seeing how long it will last.
and how the supply holds out.
If it is wise and proper for the
government to regulate prices for
necessities of life in time of war,
then, for the greater development
and prosperity of the country, to
say nothing of the righteousness
and justice of the cause, it is the
duty of the Government to regu-
late coal, steel, -four and few
other things in time of peace
But how! Dat iss de question.
1t will save whole lot of time
of courts and some other people,
if this regulation was done by
Government ownership of our
Transcontinental Railroads. The
Press is "agin" gov't-operation
of ALL the railroads.! (Most of
our railroads are already ''regu-
lated" now, by state or federal
government. The trouble is. both
are trying their hands at it at one
and the same time
sMr. Roosevelt in his investiga-
ton during the coal famine Of ten
years ago, proved by their own
testimony that the railroad corpor-
ations owned IS per cent of the
anthracite coal. Who shall blame
them if they exact from US freight
rate SO high that we are prevented
from using our own coal? Time
was when we did not know that
coal famine and car shortage were
synonomous. Today we know that
both are controlled by the same
men and the same money. What
shall we say of the citizens of our
state and the men placed in auth
ority if we fail to avail ourselves
of that sacred rioht secured to us
in the constitution, by men who
turned deaf ear to corporation
and special representatives i. e..
the right of eminent domain! We
are facing the winter as beggars;
they are withholding the coal and
hoisting the price; we are compel
led 10 pay $1,000 to$l2.00 for soft
coal. Coal is owned by the roads
that haul it and who prevent us
from using our own. If the Gov
ernors of the respective states will
exercise their rights and the Presi-
dent and Congress shall continue
the pace now set, these corpora.
tions which have been permitted tc

sources of this country, and who
by special legislation, have beer
able to set at naught the right o1

Several changes in the game
laws were made at the last winters
session of the legislature, and in
view of the near approach of the
chicken season, hunters will un-
doubtedly be interested in them.
The dates of the open season on
chicken and grouse were changed
SO that the season now opens ON
September 18th and closes on Oct.
9th. The limit on these birds was
also changed. the new law making
it five day, with not over fifteen
in possession at one time.
Non-residents are now permitted
to ship not over fifty birds during
the season, ten coupons being at
tached to each non. resident license
and each of these covering the ship
ment of not to exceed five birds.
The season for water fowl now
starts September 7th and ends on
December Goth. these dates CORE
spending With the federal law on
the subject. The limit on these
fowl was also changed, it now be-
ing fifteen in one day. And not
more than thirty-tive in possession
at one time.
A change was also made the
law relating to fur bearing animals
so that the open season on these
opens on December LIST and closes
on April 1st. A fee of SIS. 90 must
be paid by anyone engaging in the
trapping of these animals, with the
exception of land owners trapping
only on their own land, and boys
