Tyler Patents Tag Fastener

Patent No. 1. .539, ,545 was granted on
September II to Wilson s. Tyler. of
Keota. on shipping tag fastener and
protector, designed to be more conven-
iently used and more efficient than the
common method of fastening shipping
address tags with tacks. The fastener
is oblong, to conform to the shape and
be little smaller than the commonly
used shipping tags. 1t has diagonal
cross piece or pieces to lie against the
face Of the tag to prevent it from bulg-
ing from the supporting surface. and
five or more prongs to be driven thru
the tag or other address label into the
box or crate. The fastener may be
stamped from sheet metal, or from a
single piece of wire. bent to shape and
fattened. 1t should be of especial
value and convenience in the shipping
rooms Of wholesalers and other large
shippers of boxed and Grated goods.
Mr.. Tyler applied for his patent in
October Of last year. and since then the
Corbin Screw Corporation and a number
Of other companies and individuals have
been in correspondence with him with
view to securing manufacturing and
marketing rights on the invention.

June has been set by the presi-
dent as the day of registration for
those eligible to service under the
law recently passed by congress for.
the raising of an ramy. Registration
is required of all those between the
ages of 21 and 81
The Codington county board of
registration is composed of Sheriff e.
T.. Elkins, Auditor j. S. johnson and
DIR. H. M. Freeburg as the county
member of the board of health
Auditor Johnson has received the
necessary supplies for the purpose
and is perfecting arrangements for
the registration.
All male persons 81 years of age
or over and under 81 must register,
under what is known as the selective.
draft measure, the only excuse for
failing to register being that they
have taken the oath for national de-
tense under the United States re-
quirements is to say, unless a
person of the age stated has already
taken the oath in the service of the
federal government, he must register.
This is not part Of the drafting
machinery, but merely a preliminary
to the selective draft but a form of
registration that may be used later
as the basis for selecting the men.
The fact that a man is married, or
that he has relatives or family de-
pendent upon him for support, does
not relieve him Of the duty of regis
tefing.
Those expecting to be absent from
the county on the day in question
should communicate with Auditor j.
