playing about the rear door and one
struck It with his fist, breaking the
glass, but escaping injury. Mr..
Neass during Wednesday afternoon
was busy and did not have the splin-
ters OF glass removed
Mrs. Neass, noticing the unsightli-
ness OF the broken glass, attempted
to remove 1t, and sustained the in.

DIR. SMYTHE and
H. A. PHILLIPS
ARE APPOINTED
Will Be Registrars At Ken
yon And o. S. S.
"Absent Voting" Proves
Rather Confusing; Elec-
tion Board Busy

DR.. George f. Smythe of Gambler
and Harry A. Phillips have been ap-
pointed special registrars for Kenyon
college and the Ohio State Sanator-
ium, respectively, that students and
patients between the ages prescribed
by the selective draft law may regis
ter. Their cards will be mailed to
their homes.
Two absent voters" cards have
been prepared in this city and were
mailed out Friday. They are those
of Arthur f. Kaltnegen, a travelling
salesman of Cleveland, and Ola Mel
roy, truck-driver of Tifin, both of
whom now work here.
The Office of the county board Of
registration is busy place these
days. The work of registration will
be in many respects much more diff
cult than that of regular election.
This Is due to the fact that everybody
must register. The absent voting"
system is also somewhat confusing to
the board of elections.
Despite the number of volunteers,
registering clerks for the various pre-
clncts in the county have not been
obtained in full yet. A number of
people, because of their occupations,
have been forced to decline to serve.
1t is the hope though, that a full list
will be available very shortly.
Oeths of the registrars are being
returned to the local board of cleo
tions and the same placed on file.
The polls will open at o'clock the
morning of June and remain open
until 9 o'clock in the evening. These
hours differ from those of a regular
election,
The board of elections desires to
impress upon all young men the i'm
portance of registering, as deliberate
failure to do so may entail years
Imprisonment Sickness or absence
are not accepted as excuses.

KEEPING WELL
The PATRIOTIC
DUTY OF ALL.

tBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
Columbus, o., May 25-"Don't get
sick!"
This is the slogan of the state de-
partment of health.
''It's the patriotic duty of every
citizen to keep well by putting into
daily practice rules of hygiene and
habits of right living" said DR.. John
r. Dowell, director of public health
education of the state board of health
in statement given out today.
''Preventable sickness causes mil
lions of dollars in financial loss in
Ohio every year and this year 1t is
more important than ever to reduce
this depreciation of the states great
est asset-the public health.
with the various health depart
ments of the country correlated and
mobilized for war service under the
general direction of the United States
public health service, the eyes of
the nation will be on the state and
the military division making the best
health record. Ohio should strive
for this honor
Whether person stays on the
farm, in the shop, or goes to the
front it is his patriotic duty to keep
in good health. Whatever his state
of life, he cannot render good service
unless he is healthy.
"It is stated that every officer and
soldier of Europe is required to be
more or less of sanitarian. There
are rigid rules of sanitation that are
observed and put into practice, even
in the daily life of the trenches.
This is why the general health of
the millions of men now engaged
on the battle lines of Europe has
been such as to excite the wonder of
the world
"Stop and think what case Of ty-
phoid fever would mean in your fam
lily in these days of the high cost of
living and you will appreciate the
economy of keeping well this sum-
mer."

Nansen Meets Wilson;
To Solve Ship Problem
Understanding in Regard to
Exports Probably Will Be
Reached Soon
From Tho Tribune Bureau

Washington, Aug. 1.-Fridtjof Nam
sen. head Of the special Norwegian mis-
sion to the United States, was pre-
sented to President Wilson this after
noon by the Norwegian Minister. II. H..
Bryn.
Little difficulty is anticipated by
either the American or the Norwegian
officials in solving the problem Of
American exports to Norway, as al
ready a working understanding exists
between the Allied nations and Nor
way. II has been economically neces-
sary for Norway. which possesses more
shipping than is needed for her own
commerce, TO place large part OF it
at the disposal of the Allied countries.
Norway's principal needs are bunker
age, for which she Is dependent upon
Britain and America, and foodstufs,
which she must obtain in large part
from the United States. II was pre-
dicted to-day that Norway, next to
Switzerland, would be the first neutral
European country with which the
United States would arrive at an under
standing respecting exports and ship
ping.
Tho Norwegian shipping problem has
been made fairly easy Of solution on
account of the great percentage OF 1t
that 10 British owned.
