JUNE 10 GOOD ROADS DAY

June 10 has been proclaimed as
Good Roads day by Gov. s. V. Stew
art. "And, in the hope that the day
may not be observed in merely a per-
functory Manner" says the governor,
II do sincerely recommend to the peo-
pie of the state that on the date so
fixed by law, they do contribute of
their labor, their money or material
in such manner as to prove of lasting
benefit to our great system of high
ways.
"The state that is backward in the
matter of improved roads cannot be
classed among the progressive states.
Montana is growing more and more
active in this regard each year, and it
is earnestly hoped that the observ-
ance of Good Roads day this year may
be so general and so intensely in
earnest as to give great impetus to
the movement that means so much
to the life Of our state"

MUST REGISTER ON TUESDAY, June 5
FOR THE new CONSUMPTION Law
All Men Between Fl and 80 Must Register. None Ex-
empt. Heavy Penalty for Violation of Law
Holiday Proclaimed.

Valley county is ready for the work
of registering all the men who are
affected by the new conscription law.
Upon receipt of orders Sheriff C..
w. Powell and Clerk and Recorder w.
B. Shoemaker secured their supplies
and made hasty trips over the county,
appointing registrars and distributing
the blanks and necessary data for
carrying on the work.
When June 5th comes the county
organization will be ready for a IA
hour grind, and it is expected that
every man in the county who is be-
tween the ages of 81 and 30 will
register.
On May 18 President Wilson ap-
proved the selective draft law and
named Tuesday, June as the date
when all men between the ages of 81
and 80, both inclusive must present
themselves for registration between
the hours of Z a. m. and p. m.
It has been estimated that there
are 10000 men in Montana liable to
registration, or one man in 10. It is
estimated that one man of over 20
registered, or $500, will be drafted in
the state. Many of those registered
will be exempt from service.
Following are some of the facts
which pertain to the registration:
Men Affected
GAIL male citizens who will have at
tained their twenty-frst birthday and
who shall not have attained their
thirty-first birthday on June 5, 1917,
will be required to register for mill
tary service.
Register in Precinct
"Every eligible person is required
to register in the voting precinct in
which he resides. The registrar in
each precinct will receive applications
from 700 a. m. to 9 p. M, on Tuesday,
June 5.
ut should be clearly understood
that no male resident of the United
States between the designated ages is
excused from registration unless he is
already in the military or naval SER
vice of the United States. Registra-
ton is distinct from selective service.
Registration is a necessary prelimin-
ary to the latter process of selection.
"Persons too sick to present them
selves for registration must send a
competent person to the county clerk
on the sixth day after the date of the
presidents proclamation. The clerk
will give instructions for registration.
Prosecute Defaulters
"Upon the registration board falls
the duty of prosecuting defaulters in
the federal court. The punishment is
by Imprisonment, no fine being pro-
vided for. The burden of registering
rests in all cases upon the person eli
