STILL TIME TO
GET NAME DOWN
FOR WAR DUTY

County Auditor Hobbs received
notice Friday of two rulings that
have been made in connection with
the registration of last Tuesday
The first is that anyone who has
registered and afterwards loses his
registration certificate, can secure a
certification of the fact that he is
registered from the registration
board, and that he has lost his card,
but that no duplicate cards shall be
issued
The second ruling is that anyone
who failed to register on Tuesday
can be registered when he presents
himself If he was not wilfully neg
ligent in so failing. If this privi-
lege is abused new ruling will be
made before any prosecutions are
started.

LINOTYPE HELPS
ON THIS ISSUE
OF REPUBLICAN

The new linotype which was in
stalled in the Republican Office last
week is all that the makeers claim
for it, their recommendation being
that 1t would do anything but talk,
and we were further assured by the
smoothh salesman tbhat now and
then II would speak few words. 1t
has not done the latter yet, but on
several occasions this week it has
become dumb for hours at time.
The machine is as sensitive as
pretty girl to slight from her
lover, and we, blundering men,
have been several time guilty of
the slight. We had a picture of
the linotype and write-up all pre-
pared for this issue. but decided to
leave 1t out till the jade began be-
having better
Seriously the machine is won
derful invention and the only
trouble we have had is in not know
ing how to work some of the late
improvements which we had never
seen before.

trout. We have heard large mum
Der of fish stories but none of them

they are accompanied by at least
two fish. The only person who SO
