MUST REGISTER
COMING WEEK
Citizens of Germany Must Appear at
Post Office and Register
Failure to do SO Will Mean Confinement
During War and Deportation
After.


The registration of all natives, cltl-
zens. denizens of the German EN-
pire or of the Imperial German Gov
.n!ment will take place throughout
.,4 United States beginning at six
o'clock on February 4th and continu-
ing every day until eight P. M. on
February 9th. The registration for
Washburn and vicinity will take place
at the post office in this city and will
be conducted by Postmaster John
OSullivan with the aid of Chief OF
Police Joe Arseneau.
All, persons effected by the order
are required to report to their regis
tration officer during the time spec1-
fed and fill out a QUESTIONABLE,
blanks being provided by the registra-
zion official.
The penalty for failure to register
is severe. Any person subject to reg
istration, who fails to do SO, will
be subject to confinement during the
remainder of the war, and in severe
cases deportation back to Germany
after the war is over.
A large number of people of Ger
man birth, who have been voting on
their so-called first papers for many
years, and many of them have con-
sidered themselves citizens of the
United States, are in fact not citizens.
Some, through fear of prosecution be-
cause they have voted, have failed to
reveal that they are not citizens and
for that reason have claimed citizen
ship while they in fact are alien en-
emies.
There is no intention on the part
of the government to distrub any per-
son who meets the requirements in
the registration if he PERFORMS and
fulfills the obligation of the registrary
in good faith. For their own pr0tec
ton they should be urged to meet all
requirements promptly, faithfully and
fully
1t is the duty of every citizen to
assist the Registrer and to make
known to the Chief of Police and Post
master the name of any person who
| he has reason to believe is German
alien enemy, and it should be the duty
of every good citizen to assist during
the tine of registration in making the
work complete in every detail
There are a number of German
Aliens in Bayfield, county and some
few in the city of Washbhrn and we
urge upon all of these the necessity OF
registering in order for their own
protection Many of these have lived
in this country for many years but
have failed to become citizens of the
United States, through neglect and
otherwise.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Compiled each week
Earl GeiSert


On Monday morning Jan. 21st, 1918,
another squad of pupils, so called
Freshies entered the High School,
They considered themselves lucky to
get out of the initiation, which is ex-
pecter and usually given the new High
School students. Instead of wasting
time trying to think of something to
make the freshmen dismayed, all that
time and some in addition was used
to find room to seat them.
Forty-three Freshmen have entered
and you can see for yourself that it
was hard proposition to find room
before they entered. Owing to the
fact that there is an insufficient num-
Der of recitation rooms another room
from the first floor, had to be taken
and used by the High school, so this
leaves only two grades in the building.
1t is expected that next year these
rooms will also have to be taken for
the benefit of the High School.
There are now three assembly
rooms, the Freshmen assembly which
has eighty-one seats and the SophmOre
and Junior assembly which has one
hundred and thirty-nine seats. There
is an enrolment of two hundred and
ninety,
Miss Fleming who has been teach
ing Domestic Science in the Walker
High School for the past three years,
has received a promotion, and is now
teaching Civics and Economics.
Miss Wallum has taken Miss Elem
ings position, teaching Domestic
Science in the Walker School. She
hos taught this subject to the grades
for one year. She is graduate OF the
Stout Institute in the Domestic
Science Course.
Friday Jan. Is, the High School
Basket ball team played Northland
College at Ashland, and was defeated
by a score of 43 to 10. This being
the first time andfirstgame they ever
played together is some excuse for
their loosing.
Bernard O'Sullivan a graduate of
the Washburn High School left Mon
day Jan %, for the Jefferson Bar
racks, where he expects to get into
the goth Eng. Corps. Bernard has
passed the examination at Ashland
and will take another one at Duluth
before he takes his final examination
at Jefferson Barracks. Here he ex-
poets to stay. at least three weeks
then they will send him east.
Bernard says in about two months
he will be acrossing the pond.
We all hope that this capable young
man, will get a good grip at the bot
tom of the ladder for good start, be-
cause all who knew him know he is
we'll worthy of such a start

Making the long ocean voyage for the
purpose of racing against the best of
the American grill swimmers, the two
Australian girls returned to their
country with only one public appear
ance in which they merely swan for
exhibition purposes in aid of the Red
Cross.
The fact that in their exhibition
swims both the visitors touched
worlds figures, convinced many that
the American girls would have hard
time in defeating the Australians. 1t
also is believed that had they swan
in competition, both Miss Durack and
Miss Wylie would have returned home
with a number of American records to
their credit.
Matters of q controversial nature
which failed of adjustment was the
cause OF the visitors declining to enter
competition
