All Ready Now for Registration OF
Those Included in the Selective
Draft Bill

Governor Guntcr has appointed the
sheriff, county clerk and county ply
sician of each county as the board for
military registration. The sheriff is
the chairman, the clerk is secretary
and the physician the examining sur
geon. Accordingly Sheriff Downing
has been busy the past week going
over the county and appointing reg
istrars for each voting precinct in
the county. The list ard places are
published elsewhere and are the usual
voting places of the county.
June 9TH is the day and every male
citizen between the ages of 21 and 30
is compelled to appear before the reg
istration board of his precinct and fill
out the cards prepared. No excuse
is accepted, and unless unavoidably
absent from the county or seriously
sick he must appear in person. If
either sick or absent he must send his
registration in ample time to arrive
at his voting place by June 5. A
failure TO register will subject the per
son so failing to n penalty of not less
than six months or more than enc
year in prison, and at the end Of his
Imprisonment he can he drafted with
out examination as he loses all claims
Of exemption. A mistaken notion ex-
lists among como Of our citizens that
it is the duty of the registrars to get
your name, but this is all wrong
II is your duty il between the ages Of
2l and 80. to register in person. There
is no exemption from registration. Any
exemptions you may claim from SER
vice can be stated on your registration
card. 1t is also to be remembered that
under government regulations man
is thirty until his thirty-frst birth
day. II you will be 81 on June 6, you
will still have to register On June D.
It is important that all citizens get
a clear understanding of this matter
so that there will be TO mistakes made
as failure to know or hear about the
registration is not accepted as an ex-
cuse.

Jones' Holler!

The Two Buttes Sentinel let out a
terrible holler last week about Lamar
stealing their recruits, but as holler-
ing is Jones' most prominent
feature and the prerogative that he
has exercised until it has become a
habit with him very little attention
will be paid to it. Lamar is not
stealing and cannot steal anybody's
volunteers. The only way it can be
done is for the volunteers themselves
to register from some other county.
The Lamar Register has published the
postoffice address Of every recruit,
where the address has been given us,
but we have also tried to get the name
of every man recruiting through the
Lamar station. We have only claim
ed credit for Prowers county for those
who are actual residents os the coun-
ty. Co. D at the opening of the pres
ent recruiting was made up practical
ly exclusively of Prowers county citi-
zens, but in the last two or three
weeks has received recruits from
Baca and Kiowa counties and even
from Oklahoma.

SAVE EGGS NOW
They Are Sure to BE High Next Win
ter-Preserve in Water Glass
While They're Cheap

A great many households discover
ed last fall and winter that they were
at the mercy of almost prohibitive
prices if they continued to use eggs
as an article of food.
This condition is bound to recur
next winter. The precaution ncces-
sary is to preserve enough eggs for
home use, and do it now, when the
price is down and the quality is good.
You are more certain of gathering
a fresh product at this season Of the
year than if you wait until the sum-
mer months.
One Of the most successful methods
yet devised for preserving eggs is by
the use of water glass soluble sodium
silicate.) When eggs are to be kept
for a period of eight or nine months
the formula recommended is one part
water glass to nine parts Of water. If
eggs arc to be kept only n short time,
a one-to-fiftcen solution will prove
satisfactory. The water used should
be boiled or distilled to remove all i'm
purities, and cooled before making up
the mixture.
Water glass secured from a local
druggist costs about so cents Z quart
and if used in the formula one-to-
nine will preserve approximately 20
dozen eggs. Glazed earthenwarc jars
make the hest containers. They can
be left uncovered in a cool cellar,
providing there arc at least two in
ches Of the solution over the top layer
Of eggs. A good plan is 10 make up
the solution and add the eggs as they
are gotten each day until the jar is
full.-C. S. Anderson, Colorado Ag-

COMPANY d
Capt. Householder Receives Orders to
Recruit to Full War Strength

Capt. E. D. Householder received
word this week from the war depart
ment to Immediately recruit Company
d to full war strength, or $50 men.
This will require nearly fifty more
men and the work of securing the
necessary recruits is already under
way Captain Householder was call
ed to Denver on official business, and
the recruiting while he is away is in
charge of Corp. Virl Davis. There
will be public meetings held at sew
eral points in Kiowa county the last
of the week and on return of Capt
Householder an active campaign will
be opened in Prowers and Baca coun-
ties to secure the necessary men. 1t
will be a big item to all the young
men when called to Europe as they
soon will be to have a full company
from this section. 1t will help relieve
the lonesome feeling to be with home
people, and for the many who will be
subject to draft it will be far easier
to go now with friends than to be
forced later to go with whatever units
they may be drafted into.
