law which contains the following pro-
visions:
SECTION 5-That all male per-

tration it shall be the duty of all per-

day named from the counties in which

They should apply as soon as prac'
ticable to the county clerk Of the coun

In case such persons as thus sick

present themselves personally fol
registration shall be sojourning ir
cities of over 10000 population, they

Cities to Establish Sub-Agencies
The clerks of counties and of cities
of over 10000 population in which
numerous applications from the sick
and from non-residents are expected
are authorized to establish such sub,
agencies and to employ and deputize
such CLERICAL force as may be neces'
sary to accommodate these applica,
tons.
The power against which we are
arrayed has sought to impose its will
upon the world by force. To this end
has changed the face of war. In the
sense in which we have been wont to
think of armies there are no armies
in this struggle. There are entire
nations armed Thus, the men who
remain to till the soil and man the
factories are no less than part Of
the army that is France than the men
beneath the battle flags.
1t must be so with US. 1t is not
an army that we must shape and train
for war; it is nation. To this end
our people must draw close in one
compact front against common foe.
But this cannot be if each man pur-
sues private purpose. All must pur-
sue one purpose.
The nation needs all men: but it
needs each man, not in the field that
will most pleasure him. but in the
endeavor that will best serve the
common good. Thus, tho a sharp
shooter pleases to operate a tripham-
mer for the forging Of great guns,
and nexpert naacinist desires to
march with the flag, the nation is
being served only when the shars-
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-05-24
shooter marches and the machinist
remains at his levers.
Teamwork Is Object of the Bill

Teamwork Is Object of the hill
The whole nation must be 4 team
in which each man shall play the
part for which he is best fitted. To
this end congress has provided that
the nation shall be organized for war
by selection and that each man shall
be classified for service in the place
to which it shall best serve the gen.
eral good to call him.
The significance of this cannot be
overstated. 1t is a new thing in our
history and land mark in our prog
ress. 1t is new manner of &C
cepting and utilizing our duty to
give ourselves with thoughtful de-
votion to the common purpose of us
all
1t is in no sense cOnscription of
the unwilling; it is, rather, selection
from nation which has volunteered
in mass. 1t is no more choosing of
those who shall march with the col
ors than it is selection of those who
shall serve an equally necessary and
devoted purpose in the industries
that lie behind the battle line.
The day here named is the time up
on which all shall present themselves
for assignment to their tasks. 1t is
for that reason destined to be remem-
bered as one of the most conspicuous
moments in our history.
Nation Must be Solid for Defense
1t is nothing less than the day up
on which the manhood of the country
shall step forward in one solid rank
iii defense Of the ideals to which this
nation is consecrated. tits import
ant to those ideals no less than to
the pride of this generation in man
ifesting its devotion to them that
there be no gaps in the ranks.
1t is essential that the day be APP
preached in thoughtful apprehension
of its significance and that we accord
to it the honor and the meaning that
it deserves. Our industrial need pre-
scribes that it be not made a tech
meal holiday, but the stern sacri-
fee that is before us urges that it be
carried in all our hearts as great
day of patriotic devotion and obliga-
ton, when the duty shall lie upon ev-
cry man, whether he is himself to
be registered or not, to see to it that
the name of every male person of the
designated age is written on these
lists of honor.
In witness whereof, I have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

Benefits of Volunteers.

In letters to men who will appar-
emily be in the next call for army
service, recruiting officers are point
ing out the benefits that may be de-
rived from volunteer enlistment be-
fore the call. They mention that the
volunteer will have his choice of SER
vice in infantry, field artillery, med
ical department, quartermaster de-
partment, ordnance corps, telegraph
operators, cooks and bakers and men
desiring to become cooks and bakers.
Anyone interested should report to
his nearest recruiting office in per-
son, taking his registration card, Sc
rial number and statement from his
board showing he has not been or
dered to report for examination. In
lieu of the statement he may make
affidavit that to his knowledge he
has not been ordered to appear.
Use of Gull Potatoes.
The use of Gull potatoes for silage
is an innovation in the food conser-
walton prograf introduced by the
public information division of the de-
partment of agriculture. The re-
suits Of thorough tests of potato ST.
lage, showing it's value as compared
to corn, establishes the fact that poor
grades may be thus converted into
their most useful form. Sorting out
the culls enhances the value of the
better grades.
Washington Warehouse Fire Patrol.
The public service commission of
the state of Washington now permits
warehousemen to fix an additional
storage charge to defray expenses OF
fire guards, under direction of the
county councils for patriotic service
The warehouseman keeps no part
of this extra charge, turning it all
over to the council. Armed guards
are being maintained at most ware
houses in the state, and persons ap
proach these houses after night al
their peril.

Conservation Of Food.
The failure of a considerable pei
cent of the population of many com
munities to acquire exact information
regarding the essentials Of Herber
Hoover's household program of foot
economy, warrants frequent publica
ton of the following:
Il. Eat one wheatless meal a day
20. Eat beef. mutton or pork no
more than once a day.
"3. Economic in the use of butter
"A. Cut daily allowance Of sugar il
tea or coffee and in other ways.

Among announcements of recent
Red Cross appropriations are the

able American doctors and surgeons

this war, but for years afterward.
