REGISTRATION LAW
Every Man Between the Ages of 81
and 30, Inclusive, Must Regis
ter on June 5th.

The military registration law is SIM
pie and automatic. The regular cleo
ton machinery is used, and persons
will go about it exactly as they would
for an election. The only difference
is that registration is compulsory and
not voluntary. Persons coming within
the provision of the law must register.
All persons who have attained their
21st year and who shall not have at
tanned their S1st year ON June 5, 1917,
must register at the voting precinct
in their home district.
1t must be clearly borne in mind that
no male person whatever between the
ages of 81 and 81 is exempt from the
provisions of the registration law.
The duty of registering rests entire
ly on the man subject to registration.
Refusal or failure to register subjects
the person to the penalty of the law
Imprisonment.
Any person who makes or is a party
to the making of false or incorrect
statement in connection with the regis
tration also subjects himself to the
penalty of the law.
The voting booths will be open from
a. m. to 8 p. m, on June 5th, 1917,
as required by the Presidents proc
lamation, All persons between the
designated ages will report to their
home precinct and fill out appropriate
forms to be supplied them by the
registrars.
The administration of the military
registration law in each state is placed
squarely upon the governor. The ad-
ministratiOn of the law in the county
is placed upon county board of regis
tratlOn which consists normally of the
sheriff, the county clerk, and county
physician, W. ich has jurisdiction in
the counties of the state except in
cities of 10000 or over For the pur-
poses Of this act these cities are:
Green Bay, Kenosha. Lacrosse, Madi-
son, Milwaukee, Oshkosh, Racine and
Superior. In these cities provision is
made for city boards of registration
made up of an executive officer, record
ing officer, and a physician, all three
of whom are to be appointed by the
mayor with the approval of the gov
ernOr. The actual carrying out of
the law is placed in the hands of the
registrars in each of the voting pre-
cinct of the state. The direct RESPONSE
bility for the conduct of the registra-
tion is placed upon the chief regis
trar, who is selected by the sheriff
from among the election officials. This
provision, however, does not relieve
the other election officers of their re-
sponsibility to perform their full duty.
Thus there is in each county and in
each city of 10000 or over, and in each
voting precinct of the state. definite
responsible authority for the conduct
of the registration, all of which acts
under the direction of the governor.

wAUSAU COUNTRY CLUB

The formal opening of the Wausau
Country club will take place tomor-
row.
| The directors held a meeting on
May 5th and decided at that time to
disabandon the operation for the COM
ing season, owing to the general con-
] ditions due to this country being in
war. At any time parties are planned
to be given at the club, arrange
ments can be made for them with the
chairman of the House committee or
with Mr.. Melville, who will be in
charge of the house. Mr.. Melville, will
also look after the soft drinks, candy,
cigars, etc., which will be on sale as
heretofore. Announcement will be
made more fully later in regard to a
number of parties that are being ar
ranged for by the Entertainment COM
mittee.
A schedule of golf events will not
| be made for this season as is usually
done. 1t is probable that the events
will be announced one month in ad-
vance. The first event and regular
opening of the golf season will be the
competition for the Secretary's cup,
which takes place tomorrow. The To-
/ cal club has become a member of the
Northeastern Wisconsin Golf associa-
ton. which includes ten clubs in this
section. The association aims to hold
two tournaments a season, but it is
| probable that none will come off this
year. The regular greens will be used
for the first time tomorrow. Handicaps
will be established by the automatic
| system.
The property recently donated to the
club, which includes six acres of land
at what was formerly the north boun-
dary of the club property, will not be
improved this year and used for golf
purposes, but will be turned over to
some one for the planting of crops.

WIND STORMS

The season for tornadoes and wind
storms generally, is approaching, and
further south, they have already COM
menced in their deadly work. Last
Friday a tornado ruffled up the the
surface of Kansas, and thirty lives
were taken. So suddenly did the tor
nado arise, and so well did it do its
work, that telephone and telegraph
lines were broken before word could
be sent ahead of the impending danger.
The sun had been shining but few
minutes before in Andale. The storm
went as quickly as il came, leaving be-
hind a wreck of what moment before
was busy village.

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED
Services to be Held on the Court House
Grounds and at the Cemeteries
on Wednesday Afternoon.

AS each recurring season brings
Memorial day and it's sacred acts of
strewing with flowers the graves of
those who died for their country, its
significance seems to sink deeper into
our minds and the reverent acts we
then performed seem to become more
and more fitting to this custom, which,
through the intervening years, has
been made an extremely national one.

And Longing for the Word to
Go Over the Top"
BATTLE PRACTICE OF OUR MEN IN FRANCE CON-
PLETED AND PERFORMANCE ABOUT TO BEGIN
(Associated Press)

Somewhere Along the British Front
in France, Sept. 24.-On a historic
battlefield which merges into the
fighting line are encamped many
American troops. 1t is impossible to
tell where they are or what they are
doing, but it may be authoritatively
stated that they are a credit to the
Stars and Stripes which are flying
over the Americans on this part of
the battle front for the first time. AL
ready two have been wounded, of
which they are exceptionally proud.
Until stringent orders were issued,
officers had difficulty in keeping the
men from slipping away for a few
glorious moments under fire. 1t is
unwise perhaps for the correspondent
to inquire too closely into whether
American officers had not been "over
the top" before orders against it were
issued.

FARMERS MEETING
AT BLITCHTON

The farmers meeting at Blitchton
Saturday was attended by about 250
people. The weather was rather dis
couraging in the morning and kept
the crowd from being as large as was
expected.
The talks made during the day were
good but the dinner was better. Had
Mr.. Hoover been present he would
have taken the families presetn to
task for supplying so much food.
The following program was follow
ed out. The talks were interesting
and the farmers present were inter-
ested:
Mr.. C. K. McQuarrie,. "Food Con-
servation."
DR.. Chipman, "Tick Eradication"
DR.. Logan, "Hog Cholera"
Mr.. Curry, "The Marketing Prob

WILL SEND ALL FLORIDA
MEN TO CAMP WHEELER

Washington, Sept. 22.-It became
practically certain here today that the
selected army men from Florida will
be transferred from Camp Jackson at
Columbia, S. c., to Camp Wheeler at
Macon, Ga. Senator D. U. Fletcher of
Florida discussed this matter with
Secretary of War Baker. He said that
it was believed to be best to. have the
Florida draft men fill up the Florida
National Guard regiments, so that
the Florida men may be kept together
and not so scattered as at present,
with the select men at Camp Jackson
and the National Guard men at Camp
Wheeler. Secretary Baker thought
well of the plan and assured Senator
Fletcher that it would have immediate
and probably favorable consideration.
