WANTS EXEMPTION
 POLICY KNOWN

Congressman Horace M. Towner of Iowa believes that the President should make known his exemptions under the conscription law as soon as possible so that the farmers may know at the earliest possible moment what the prospect will be for obtain ing help in the present season. MT. Towner has received letter from a member of the Iowa Legislature call ing attention to the pressing need of such information. Crops, he declares, are not being planted because of scar city of labor, and the condition will be aggravated unless farmers can know in advance whether they will be allowed to keep their labor through out the season. MT. Towner says that the cold, wet weather in his State has already disheartened the farmers, and unless they receive encouragement from the administration on the labor question the shortage of acreage planted will be serious indeed.

WE AMERICANS MUST

Just remember boys that every citizen in America is commissioned officer in the war. If you only get a job of peeling potatoes-peel 'em right, consistently and economically, The president may not get chance to pat you on the back personally, but you will feel that you have done your "bit" and can be proud of the result.
 We Americans have lived such a free and untrammeled life that it is hard for us to come to realization that we owe any especial duty to the nation-not only to the nation but to the whole world at this time.
 This is the greatest war the world has ever known. The settlement of it will bring mankind closer together than all the preachments of the ages if it is settled right--and, America is going to help settle it right.
 The great world stage is set, boys, and it is just as we'll to make up our minds now to go the full limit as to wait and be compelled to sacrifice more few years later, if the great human problem is not solved now.
 America can not do too much at the present time to solve one of the great world problems.
 Our men, our blood, our money will be sacrificed upon cross, as our Savior did, for new world to come.
 It is hard to awaken to the stup- endous things that are now taking place, nor the results that best men of the world are striving for. It is too big for many to grasp, but the time has come within our generation and God grant we Americans will not be lacking.
 It is not only the man who can face a cannon without flinching, the hero, but as we'll the man who can face grueling labor day by day and ungrudging give for the great cause.
 It is our fight now. Let us go al- together and finish the hght-each as he can see his duty-physically, men tally, financially. Devine Providence seems to have willed that America should be included when the great peace settlement comes and war is ended for all time.
 Offer your help now, whatever it may be.

The selectiye draft system need

The selective draft system need moi necessarily worry any self-respecting American citizen. The first thing to be done will be to secure a military census of all males from 21 to 30 in- elusive; all defectives will be elimin- ated, but they will be recorded just the same.
 A call has been issued by the presi- dent for such registration-the the date is set and all persons of the ages mentioned will be required to present themselves at their home voting precincts for registration, or if away from home he will register al the nearest precinct and send the registration card to the sheriff of their home county, who will return certificate to him.
 You will not be overlooked merely because you fail to present yourself for registration; the big dragnet will get you just the same.
 The number of men desired will be selected from those registered.

PROCLAMATION OF
 REGISTRATION DAY

Executive Department State of Ari- zona.
 Whereas, Congress, on the eight eenth day of May, nineteen seventeen, did pass the Selective Draft provision of the War Army Bill, otherwise known as the Selective Service Law, requiring that all male persons be. tween the ages of twenty-one and thirty, both inclusive, except certain persons themselves for registration between the hours of seven A. M. and nine P. M., on Tuesday, June fifth, nineteen seventeen, at the precincts wherein they have their permanent homes, and providing penalty there for; and
 Whereas, The Provost Marshal Gen. eral of the United States, the officer in charge of the said registration, has caused to be sent to the Sheriff of each county in Arizona, instructions for the carrying out of the said regis tration, and has invited the aid of all civil authorities in the prompt and accurate making of the said registra- ton, and has urged that the widest publicity be given this work:
 Now, Therefore, I, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me under the said law, do order that every male resident of Arizona be- tween the ages aforesaid, whether an American citizen or allien, shall pres ent himself for registration in his precinct, at the place designated there in, between the hours of seven A. M and nine P. M. on Tuesday, June 5 1917, or suffer the penalty prescribed by said law.
 And it is earnestly recommended all possible facility be provided by employers of such persons as afore- said, to the end that complete regis tration be effected on that day and date.
 The enrolment already performed by the Assessors of the several coun- ties or Arizona under the Military Code has no reference whatever to the subject of this Proclamation, and such previous enrolment does not in any manner affect the obligation of the aforesaid males as to the Federal reg. istration.
 Since June fifth marks the prelim- mary step in securing military cen. sus, from which is to be raised and trained the best army the world has known, necessity, because of an un. just war, forced upon the United States, let the people of Arizona make it gala day in which all, regardless of age or sex, shall participate as a patriotic duty.
 In Witness Whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this twenty-second day of May, A. D. 1917. Signed: THOMAS E. CAMPBELL,
 Governor of Arizona Attest: SIDNEY P. OSBORN,
