A
week FROM TODAY
Every Man Between the Ages Of 81
and 81 Must Register Whether
Citizen or Not.

Sheriff Nelson has issued a notice
to the government registrars Of Ham
ilton county who are to officiate at
the registration OF citizens of mill
tary age next Tuesday, June 5, to
meet at the court house in this city
next Saturday afternoon at 1880 to
take the oath and to receive further
instructions.
There seems to be some misappre-
hension as to who must register. But
the law and the proclamation of
President Wilson are very explicit
aud plain upon that point. Every
male resident, whether citizens of
the United States or not, between
the ages of 81 and 81 years, except
soldiers now in the service, must
register. This includes every male
blind, sick, cripple and citizens of
foreign countries now residing in
the United States. The war depart
ment wants a complete record of ey-
cry man between the ages of 81 and
81, and it is a serious offense to neg
lect the duty of registering.
