Field Artillery, the local military or
ganization, received orders this morn
ing from Adjutant General Scales at
Jackson to recruit the Battery to war
strength before Registration Day,
June fifth, War strength is one hun
dred and ninety About fifty men will
be necessary to fill the ranks to that
number
The fact that the ranks of Battery
G., are not quite filed up gives local
young men subject to military duty
an opportunity to enlist with home
organization instead of awaiting con-
scription. From the reading of the
order it appears that enlistments in
the Battery will be stopped after Reg
istration Day
The Adjutant in closing the order
says the Secretary of War intimates
in instructions that the Battery will
not be called into the Service before
August fifth.

would total approximately the above
number.

ing away from their voting precincts
or are likely to be hindered from reg
istering by Illness is called to sec
tions 81 to 61 Of the Draft Act which
tells how they must register. Regis
tration cards can be secured from the
members of the Board and filed out in
the presence of one of them, whose
certificate is attached. Then you must
mail the card to the registrar at your
voting place who will file it with the
ones made, at that place Your reg
