Prebqring for Army Registration

TSPuIHS iOI HIhtS ANCSISH dItOt
 The appointment of Col. Breen as dispenser of the federal draft census in Arizona was ratified by the war department Saturday and he formally took charge of the office in Phoenix Monday morning. There are a greatmany things to attend to before the registration takes place on June 5, and Col. Breen and assistants took charge of the work before hls appointment was sanctioned by the government.
 There is a general misunder- standing regarding the purpose of the census to be taken on June t5. A great number of persons are under the impression that when they register their name they have been drafted in the United States army. To dispell this delusion Col. Breen wishes It understood that the work of drafting the men for the new army will not commence until at least a month after the census IS completed. The purpose of re- gistering all male citizens be- tween the ages of twenty-one and thirty inclusive is to secure an available list of men in the country within the military age limit. After this has been se- cured the call to arms will be sent to a sufficient number tC
 mobilize an army of at least 100000. It is expected that
 10, O,000,0OO males in the United
 States will register on June 5,
 but one-fifth of this number vii
 be fair percentage of men whC
 can pass the physical examina
 tion.
 Col. Breen has issued orders that all men of the military agt who expect to leave the state before June 5, apply at the re corder's office in the court house and fill out registration blanks before leaving. This also vii apply to those who expect tC enter a hospital for an operation No excuse will be accepted iron those who fail to register on ol before June 5, and penalty o. imprisonment will be imposed I for failure to do so.

Campbell has issued tht following proclamation Tn refer ence to the selective draft bill Whereas, congress on the 18tl of May. 1917, did pass the selec tive draft provision of the wa, army bill. otherwise known al 's the selective service law, requir ling that all male persons be tween the ages of twenty-on' and thirty inclusive, except cer tain persons in the military ant

WARNING TO YOUNG WOMEN.
Winneshiek County Chairman Wo-
mems Committee Gets Letter
From DeS Moines.

Mrs, Elvie n. Logsdon, of Decor
ah, chairman of the Winneshiek
county women's committee of nation
al council of defense, received the
following letter yesterday from Des
Moines, which speaks for itself
The Women's Committee for the
National Council Of Defense met last
week in Des Moines at the state cap
itol. The state chairman, Mrs. Whit
lev, presided and there were a num-
Der OF county chalrmel and many
others present. Mrs. Whitley pre-
sented an outline of the necessary
work to be done at once and many
problems were discussed.
One of the greatest difficulties at
present is the danger of young wo-
men drifting into Des Moines with no
idea before leaving their home towns,
as to where they are to go or what
they are to do after reaching the city.
After making investigation it has
been learned that there is not an I'M
usual demand for women employees
either in stores or offices. There might
be possible positions in homes where
general Homework could be secured
but that should be arranged for be-
fore young girl comes to town. In
ether words, it is not safe for young
women to come to Des Moiles alone,
in search of work, unless they have
written in advance to the secretary
of the Young Womens Christian AS
sCCiatian, or to the city chairman of
the WOmen's Committee for National
Defense, or have secured a position
through some reliable employment
bureau.
1t is our desire in Des Moines to
have the women in the towns through
out the state discourage the girls
from coming, and plead with them to-
remain at home with their families
and friends.
Some girls have had tragic expert
ence, already and the glamour of the
great coltonment in our state may
lure others to walk innocent.y and
ignorantly into dange, #N
We wish to urge each county
chairman to appoint a committee on
social welfare work, and to keep a
record or list of all young women
who might be tempted or might be
considering leaving home. And such
committee could cooperate with our
Des Moines committee, and thereby
save an endless amount of sorrow
and suffering.
We ask and hope that each county
chairman will see that the above
warning is printed at once in every
county paper in our state.

How Waukon Got Flower Boxes for
Its Streets.


Flower boxes with red geraniums
growing up and green vines grow
ing down, adorn the electroliers of
Main street, Waukon, Iowa They
are bright spot in the business dis
trict, but that isn't the main colsid-
GRAFTON. The interesting thing is
ownership. They have a saying at
Waukon-"Waukon Ways Win" The
Ways" are pull-all-together. For
instance, the flower boxes.
In the spring, the Waukon Woman's
Club said to the Mems Commercial
Club: 1T would be nice to have
flower boxes on our new electroliers
on our new pavement" Sure it
would" said the men, and it was de-
cided they should buy them and the
women fill them. The public school
found out about it and stepped for
ward TO say: Let US make the box
es il the manual training depart
mept."
So the men bought the lumber and
paint, the children made the boxes,
and the women filled them. When
done, the rest of the town did its bit,
for the City. Council announced:
''We'll take over the boxes now and
care for them"
So every man, woman and child in
Waukon had a finger in those flower
boxes, and every, one as he walks
along and looks up to see how "our
boxes" are getting along, not only
has a chesty feeling over their pref
tiness, but an individual responsible
ity and pride in them, for did he not
help?
It's public housekeeping, with the
whole community family on the job.
That's Wauko1's Way!-Iowa Maya

The "Homer" Returns.
From the Christian Science Monitor

EIOIl nv SETlSCldn science Monitor.
The WAY department of the United
States government has instituted a ma
tional search for carrier pigeons of the
best quality, to be used in connection with
the operation OF the oversee expeditionary
force. Something like 5000 Of these birds
are, it is said, wanted Immediately, and
people in all sections have become inter-
ested in the work Of collecting suitable
pigeons and selecting from those offered
the most desirable "homers."
One hundred pigeon f%anciers gathered
from different parts Of New England in
the Revere house, Boston, a short tirfYe
ago, to listen to some remarks by Mai.
Frank j. Griffin, of the signal corps, about
pigeons. This officer explained that the
most important duty Of the carrier
pigeon will be that of conveying messages
from the front line trenches to field head
quarters while the hostile armies are en-
gagged. Under severe fire it is sometimes
impossible to use the telegraph or tele-
phone, and owing to the presence of smoke
and gases the use of signals is practically
out OF the question. In modern warfare
the airplane observer is the eye of the
army, but his difficulties are immensely
increased by anything in the nature of a
drive" beneath him.
Carrier pigeons fit Into this emergency
nicely, If there are only enough of them
available. AS Major Griffin explained,
"ASAh an AiiSt ililC llSIISlGS GIllGT DdlLlo d
large number of the pigeons are supplied
for the use of the proper officers in send
Ing reports Of progress and in calling for
re-enforce1nents. supplies, and 80 on. Six
copies of each message are made and
each is attached to one of q half dozen
birds liberated. They strike out %instanter
for the homo loft or for field headquar-
tiers, and if one of them succeeds in reach
ing Its destination the headquarters staff
is satisfied.
The present war. with all its boosted
modernity, has brought about a return to
many old, and long discarded, usages. The
trench itself is a revival of an almost
abandoned system Of defense. For years.
the name "grenadiers," as applied to Ger.
tain regiments or guards. was used en-.
tlrely in a traditional sense, grenade
throwing having fallen into complete
desuetude. That supposedly very new de.
vice for concealing the enemy, known y.
~camouflage, was practiced centuries age
by African and American savages. And
now, the carrier pigeon, which was in
use at the time of the first crusade, wher
the Saracens were found to be employing
the bird regularly for purposes Of COM
munication. and which was in use by prac.
tically all armies until the telegraph was
invented, has come back to assume a more
important place than ever on the battle,
field.
