LOCAL BOY FACES CHARGES
OF FAILING TO REGISTER

At the examining trial of George
o. Fassett before United States
Commissioner W. Hoffman Wood
held yesterday, charged with failing
to register on June 5, 1917, proof
was introduced to the effect that at
that time he, in good faith believed
that he was a member of the Mis-
souri, National Guard, though he is
now discharged. Evidence also
showed Fassett had been discharg-
ed prior to June 5th, but had re-
ceived no notice of same at that
time. The commissioner dismissed
the case holding that the did not
believe the defendant wilfully failed
to register but stated that it was

popular and the news of his death
was quite a shock to everyone
While he never reached the battle
front, this young Montgomery coun-
ty man has given his life for his
country, and while mere words seem
empty and inadequate to express
our appreciation of his sacrice it
should be a matter of some conso-

in the execution of his duty and
in helping to make the world safe
for democracy. All honor to him and
those of us who are left behind will
ever keep green in our memories
what he has done for us.

BUY LIBERTY
BONDS TODAY
Committee Hard at Work and If
Everyone Helps Success of
Drive is Assured

Mr. John G. VIM, chairman of
the Third Liberty Loan drive in
Montgomery county, reported to us
this morning that $3.50, 250.00 worth
of bonds had been subscribed for
up until 9 o'clock this morning and
we are sure that the good people of
our county will rally to the sup
port Of the committee and subscribe
the balance Of our quota $42,S50.
If you have not already purchased
all you can possibly afford, do so at
once. There is no better way of
showing the boys in the trenches
that we are standing back of them.
Surely if the youth of our land will
give their lives we can afford to
loan our money. What will your
farm, residence or money be worth
unless we win the war? It has
well been said "it is better to loan
your money to Uncle Sam, than be
forced to give it to the Kaiser"
Men and women of Montgomery
county rally round the flag and let's
put the Third Liberty Loan over the
top. We can, we will, should be our
slogan.

MENDED FOR COMMISSIONS

Camp Zachary Taylor closed its
first class last week and two local

recognized ability and should they
be favored with commissions are
certain to give a good account of
themselves. Mr.. Stoner arrived in

Is MORE MEN TO
LEAVE APRIL 80
Will be Sent to Camp Zachary Tay-
lOr to Fill Places of Those Sent
lover There"

The local exemption board has
been called upon to furnish Is men
to leave this city Tuesday, Apr!
30, for Camp Zachary Taylor and
will make its final selection of those
that are to go this afternoon. Or
ders have been received not to send
men who are actively, completely
and assiduously engaged in farm
ing and their classifcations will be
temporarily deferred. We take it
from this order that most of the
men to be sent will be from Mt.
Sterling, and seven local boys who
had received notice to report have
already waived all claims and ask
ed to be sent next Tuesday. They
are: Stanley o. Wood. Harry
Crooks, Chandler Fizer, Morrison
Cox, Lewis Glover, Joseph p. Kell-
er and Irwin Jackson.
1t is quite probable another Or
der will be received to send several
men to Fort Thomas within the
next few weeks and from now ON
it is thought men will be sent to
the various camps every few weeks.
Last Saturday about 5000 soldiers
were sent from Camp Taylor, pre-
sumably on their way cover There"
and the Falls City camp is now said
to be practically deserted. Most of
the local boys, both the ones that
were drafted and the ones that
have volunteered are now either
"over there" or ON their way, and il
is expected from now on that calls
will come very rapidly.

Many New Names Will Come

II is the experience of the Cam
paign Manager that many new
nominations will come in after the
first list has been published. 1t
gives people an opportunity to look
over the list of nominations and see
if their favorite's name has been
entered, or if their town or neigh
borhood is represented. So for that
reason many new nominations will
undoubtedly be received for some
time to come.
With the list Of names published
today, indicating the class ofspopu-
lar people to whom this big prize
has appealed, there is no reason
why any popular and ambitious
person should hesitate about enter
ing the big race. The prizes are all
very valuable and well worth striv-
ing for; the race is open to all white
people of good character; the con-
ditions are simple; person with
the average number of acquaint-
anees has just a good a chance as
anyone and there is no chance to
lose for if You should not win one
Of the regular prizes, you will be
paid in cash for your efforts. With
everything to win and nothing to
lose, you can hardly make better
use of your spare time than to en-
ter the big race.

similar action. The order Of the Arch
Bishop follows:
ssOn account Of the prevalence of
the Spanish influenza, general dis
rensation is hereby granted from fast
and abstinence on the ember days of
this week, including Friday. For the
same reason midnight masses in parish
churches on Christmas are not allowed
this year.

Southport Troop No. 6
Travels to Racine
Two Boat Crews Travel to the Belle
City on Monday Night to Take Tests
In Swimming and Other Exercises.

Southport Troop No. 6, Sea Scouts,
travelled to Racine on Monday night in
charge of Captain Sorensen. The boys
undertook the journey for the purpose
of passing swimming tests which are
required from every man Of the ship s
company.
"The boys sure did surprise me, -
remarked the captain to one Of the men
at the 7. M. G. A. ffAll Of them that
qualified passed this test as easy as
rolling off log"
The required test Of the Sea Scout
to leave the ranks Of land lobber to
an able seaman is 100 yards using the
breast stroke only, also swimming so
yards on his back and demonstrating
three different kinds Of strokes and
swimming 20 yards with each. Every
one Of the boys declared that was one
Of the easiest swimming tests that they
were ever put through.
After passing the required tests Cap
tain Sorensen put the boys through sew
eral races and had them do quite q
bit Of fancy diving and swimming. The
Hansen brothers, Peterson and Morrow
proved themselves to be the most
graceful divers Of the crew while Stein,
Kettlehot, Harvard, and Jacob proved
themselves to be the most graceful
swimmers. In the races Southmayd,
Falshaw, Walker and Holmes are con-
sidered to be the best racers. Jacob
proved himself to be the only human
submarine of the crew. He is far worse
than q U-boat.
After the swimming was over. The
boys were taken to supper by Captain
Sorensen at which he acted as toast
master. Ward McCarron and Francis
Hansen each gave short speech which
won many appliances from the crew.
The boys declare that they haven It had
such a feed in long time, for which
Captain Sorensen must be thanked.
The following are men that qualified
and passed their tests: H. Hansen, F.
Hansen, G. Morrow, Fl. Stein, E. Peter
son, E. Kettlehot, F. Harvard, K. South
mayd, W. Falshaw, E. Walker, G.
