liens generally of northern Iowa were
of great assistance to the government
as we'll as to this office, in registering
boys of registration age The assis
lance given from all of the above
sources was so great that northern
Iowa had fewer slackers than any 9th
err district in the United States.
On next Wednesday, June 5th, al
young men who have become twenty.
one years Of age since June 6, 1917
will be required to register. Again
call upon everybody in northern Iowa
to assist in this work.
I urge the sheriff of each county to
name a man in each voting precinct
in his county outside of the towns to
see that everyone of registration age
is registered.
To each chief of police appeal that
he call his men together and direct
them to devote the day to assisting in
the work
I suggest to all postmasters and
city marshals that they use every eff
fort to see that all are properly reg
istered in their towns.
To all Of the above, I suggest that
list in each voting precinct be made
before registration day of all those
who should register.
To the publishers of daily and week.
ly papers, I urge that all possible
publicity be given to the importance
of registration, so that we will not
have a Stacker in northern Iowa.
All citizens of northern Iowa are re-
quested to assist in every possible way
on registration day, urging people to
register and reporting to the proper
authorities at registration or to this
office all persons who fail to register.
Very truly yours,
