PUTNAM COUNTY MEN
WHO WILL REGISTER
Possible Soldiers Under the
SelectiVe Conscript Law.


man in Putnam county between the
ages Of q and 80 years must register
IN the precinct where he resides. If
nc is visitor, he must secure reg
lstratlon card from the county clerk
and send the same properly filled out
to the clerk of his home county. There
is no way in which one can evade this
law. 1t seems every male between
the ages named, whether he be a citi
zen, d prospective citizen, native or
foreign, white or black or a Mongo-
liam must register. To fail means
certain punishment.
Knowing this to be fact The News
is trying this week to impress the fact
on every one in this county. But all
do not take The News. Some people
do not read any county paper. To
such citizens who do read should help
in carrying the word
From many precincts offers have
come from patriotic citizens rendering
their services as Registration Off
GERS. Generally these men have been
commissioned. The government will
pay for the work, but it at the same
time has urged citizens to give their
services.
The law makes the County Clerk,
the Sheriff and the County Physician
a board to take charge of this reg
istration, appoint the registrars and
see to it that the proper blanks ere
distributed.
This board is composed of R. j.
Hancock, P. M. Hagan and DR.. H. A.
Johnson. They have gone over the
precinct lists and have selected such
men for registration officers as they
believe to be thoroughly competent,
and men whom they believed would
gladly give this service to the gov
ernm2nt. They are all above the con-
script age. The following is the list
