REGISTER TUESDAY
AND SAVE TROUBLE
Every Man Between the Ages of p
and 81 Must Not Neglect This
important Duty.

All men between the ages of u
and 81 years should not frget that on
net Tuesday, June 5, they are re-
CURED to appear before othe regis
trars in their respective precincts and
register according to a recent act of
Congress. The object of this is to
secure an army, which will be used
in the present war against Germany.
No man should harbor the idea
that he doesn't have to register. He
should not in any way permit any
person to advise him against regis
tering. The law is specific, easily
understood, and those who do not
take advantage of the opportunity
will be summarily dealt with.
No person eligible to register can
offer a satisfactory excuse. Absence
from home will not be accepted, as
provisions have been made in such
cases for registering, by mail, and
their cards will be accepted and due
credit given Any person absent from
home and failing to register will be
liable to punishment, and it may be
very severe.
A report has become current that
certain elements are preaching the
doctrine that registration is not COM
pulsory The federal authorities have
taken drastic action against those
propagandists and several are now
in all awaiting trial, the result of
which can easily be conjectured.
If person is in doubt about regis
tering information can be secured
from the sheriff, county clerk, regis
traion board, registrars or any fed
cal official. The information will be
given freely and gladly as the Off
cia's are anxious to help all persons
Alright and will strain every nerve
to see that the names of all appear
on the books.

holiday in any way they thought

holiday in any way they thought
best.
Quite a number of local people
took advantage of the day to visit
distant cities and summer resorts.
Automobiles began leaving the city
early in the morning, and it is esti-
mated that at least a thousand spent
the day in other places.
Following an old custom hundreds
went to the cemeteries and placed
flowers upon the graves of their low
ed ones. The three cemeteries were
filled practically all lay, but the
largest crowd gathered in the after
noon at Green Hill cemetery, where
the G. A. r. and secret organizations
decorated the graves of their com
rades and listened to an address by
Dr. Taylor.
OF course, interest was naturally
centered in the baseball game at
Rosemont Park in the afternoon. AT
ter hearing that Martinsburg had de-
feated Frederick in the first game
the fans became hungry for the sec
ond contest, and when the players
arrived they were greeted by hun
dreds.
The postofflce observed holiday
hours, the court house Offices were
closed, the banks did not open and
all business houses gave their en-
ployes a holiday.
