No Internment Camps

Mr. Baker took occasion during the day
to confirm the impression that the gov
eminent is planning to deal literally with
German or other foreign subjects resident
in the United States in the event of
war. He was asked specifically If the
war department was negotiating with
the interior department for sites for in
ternment camps.
There is no such plan in contempla-
tion.' he replied. "All resident aliens
who are obedient TO our laws will be per-
fectly safe from interference"
Asked If that applied to German army
reservists, the secretary said: 1T ap-
plies to everybody who is here or who
may be permitted to come here and
who behaves in accordance with our laws
while here
In other quarters, II was indicated

REGISTRATION DAY
Drastic Penalties Prescribed for Fail.

Help Your NelghbOr
Register

The recent proclamation of the
president making June 5, registra.
tion day for registering Of all
male persons between the ages OF
Il and 80 years, makes it public
duty for all who are within the
above ages to present themselves
to the board Of registration in each
precinct; also for all citizens to aid
in the registering, and to inform
the proper authorities of persons
who should be registered, but who
fail to present their names.
Any one subject to registration
and failing to register, or who
shall make false statements in re-
Clustering shall he guilty Of misde-
meanor and liable to Imprisonment
for year.
The county board for suIerin-
tending and receiving the returns
OF the registration, consists of the
sheriff, the county auditor and the
chairman of the county board a
health, Messrs. Thos. Finley, Ed
Ha.per and DR.. Charles Flett, and
this board has received its final in
structions from the state authori-
ties, and will have things in readi-
ness for registration in this county.
1t will be we'll for all to remem-
Der that the registering is done un-
der United States law and heavy
penalties are prescribed for any one
not obeying the law.
The federal courts show little
sympathy, and failure to obey the
law is absolutely certain to bring a
heavy penalty upon the one who at
tempts it.
No plea Of ignorance Of the law is
likely to save person who fails to
register. 1t will be we'll for every
one to talk the matter over with
his neighbor and help to make the
registration complete, for later the
list will be published and narties
failing to register will have to suf-
er their neglect. After registering
the party will receive certificate,
and without this certificate the
party will be liable to arrest at any
time. It is the duty Of every good
citizen to see that the registration
is made as complete as possible, so
that no young man will have to suf-
fer the penalties Of the law through
either ignorance or wilfulness.

inner parts of ones eyeball.
After considerable preparation
by the various committees of the
junior class; the Juniors, seniors
and high school teachers gather
ed at the high school Friday eve
ming about supper time in party
gowns and dress suits. The
rooms used were tastily decorat-
ed in the colors of the junior
class, senior class and nation.
The menu and place card COM
bined in form of diploma read as
follows:

picnic at Hartford Beach on Sat-
urday.
Teachers and pupils are work
ing diligently and persistently in
hopes to make grand success of
the operatta Sylvia to be given

instead Of the traditional class
play which is losing favor in
many Of the better high schools.
This performance is being given
and the principal parts acted by
seniors; while choruses of farm
lads, farmers daughters, and hay
makers are made complete by
the high school classes. We feel
that the feature of this enter

ate for his year Of extra empha-
sis on the call to the farms.
Members of the senior class
aim to give every interested per
son an opportunity to purchase
tickets for this event.
Regular seniors will give the
last half Of this week to their
final examinations.
On Thursday and Friday our
eighth grade will be taking the
county examinations.
Monday of this week formal
actions were taken in our senior

pretty custom is being started,
namely the outgoing class pre-
sentes its colors and banner to
the class just organizing: and
that the transfer be a feature of
the commencement exercises.
The years work in manual
training, domestic science and
