caused by her C-boats.

registrars and the reserve force which
has been enlisted, a large number of
the police officers who will be de-
tailed to the registration centers and
the High School cadets, who are an
important cog in the registration ma
chine.
Emphasis was laid upon the fact
that the registrars must keep tech
nicaiities in the background. Mr.. Dom
ovan impressed upon his subordinates
pie, but 1t required a cool head and
they were advised where any knotty
question arose to consult the chief
registrar at each center. The partic-
ular duty of each chief registrar Is
to know it alr' and what he or
mined II an appeal Is taken to the
Registration Board.
With the aid Of a slide reproduc-
ing the registration card, Mr.. Dono-
van took each question separately and
showed how II should be answered.
1t was explained that no answer need
be secured from men claiming eX-
emption or their reason for such
claims unless the registrant cares to
give one.
The most troublesome questions, It
was explained, involved whether or
not a man is an alien and that per-
tanning to registrants who are the
sole support OF dependents, and these
were explained at length.
Where a man registering is unable
to read or write, a high school ca
det will be summoned and read the
answers which he has made to the
various Questions and II correctly tab
ulated he will make his mark and
tue hign school cadet will witness II.
May Express Doubt.
Registrars are required to I'LL out
the blank on the reverse side. giving
in their best judgment the average
height, color and hair and eyes,
whether bald, and an opinion as to
whether he considers the answer true
to the best Of his knowledge and be-
lief. If he has reason to doubt the
truth of the registrant's answers he
will so state on the card.
Elaborating upon this work, Mr..
Donovan stated that a man wearing
a toupee or wig would not be con-
sidered bald officially unless such head
adornment was apparent to the reg
istrar.
The registrars were reminded that
their oath obliged them to be on duty
promptly at o'clock today, and the
penalty for absentetism will be fixed
later unless a registrar has an ex-
CCilent excuse.
Further instruction was given on the
filling out of registration cards which
will be handed to all applicants and
registrars were cautioned about eras-
ures on the cards, cancellations and
writing on other than the prescribed
lines.
Commissioner Brownlow congratulate
&c the registration force on their
fidelity to duty by their large attend
ance and cautioned all to get to bed
early in order to be on the job
promptly at a. m.

Your home paper is really a tire
less letter writer. II nothing more.
Week after week we prepare this
printed letter for those living here
and for those who have moved to
some other locality, telling Of mar
riages, births, deaths, the coming and
going of people, of business efforts
and progress, accidents, crops, i'm
provements, meetings and so on. In
fact every thing of Importance and
interest. If you should undertake ia
write a letter TO an absent friend ev-
cry week telling him all the news
you would get a faint idea Of the task
in preparing a newspaper. Many Of
our tOwnspeOple recognize this and
take pleasure in giving items Of news
It helps us and it is appreciated.
