GERMANS MUST REGISTER
UNDER PROCLAMATION
Week of February Set Aside for
Listing OF Unnaturalized Subjects
of Kaiser Now Residing in United
States.

The week of February was set
aside by the department of justice Sun
day for registration of the half-million
unnaturalized Germans in the contin-
entail United States by police and post
masters in pursuance of President
Wilson's alien enemy proclamation
directing this action as means of
minimizing the danger from enemy
sympathizers.
Registration will involve the gath
ering of detailed information concern
ing the business, relatives and habits
of every German, together with his
photograph and finger prints. After
registering he must carry a certifi
cate card, and may not change his
place of residence without approval
of the police or postmaster. Viola
ton of the regulations will be punish
able by internment for the war.
Women and Children Exempt.
The orders do not apply to German
women, nor to any persons under IA
years of age, because these are not
classed as alien enemies by law. Sub
jects of Austria-Hungary are not re-
quired to register
In announcing the regulations Sun
day, the department of justice took
care to avoid creating the impress
sion that the government looks on
each German with suspicion.
"Registrants are not to be treated
as persons of evil disposition" said
instructions to registrars, "and the
registration officers are urged to deal
with them in a courteous and friendly
manner"
Every German is required to go to
the registrar and make out triplicate
affidavit information blanks, and to
furnish four photographs of himself
one for each affidavit and one for
his registration card. The photograph
must bear his signature written across
the front, and must not be larger than
three inches square. 1t must be on
thin paper, and have light back
ground.

DR.. o. F. Starr will leave shortly for
Mackay, where he will take the prac-

enlist for overseas service. The 9th

the colors in the near future, which
will leave DR.. Starr the only physician
in Mackay, and a large surrounding
territory. DR. Starr and family have
been residents of American Falls for
about four years. The doctor, in the
meantime, has built up large prac-
tice and his family made friends that
will sorely regret the severed rela-
tions. But the opportunity to whlch
he is going is one rarely opened TO
anyone, and his own welfare demands
its acceptance. The best wishes of

Dear Ladies:
l received your welcome package
today. I am one OF Uncle Sammys

thankful the Red Cross did not cater
to the national army at the expense
OF the Regulars. You see l write
Regulars with a capital r." which

Not that mean that the national army
won't do the right thing when the right
time comes, but if they had all en-
listed when war was first declared it
might be a long way towards being

TREAT WHEAT SEED FOR SMUT

To prevent smut in winter wheat,
the seed should be treated with for
maldehyde before planting, says the
plant pathologist of the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station. The loss
from smut in 1917 in the state was
estimated at $4,000 bushels by gov
eminent investigators.
A good treatment for smut is to
use one pint of commercial formalin,
40 per cent solution of formalde-
hyde, to 40 gallons of water The
grain may be either sprinkled or
dipped, both practices being en-
ployed on Iowa farms
To sprinkle, spread the grain on a
clean floor or in wagon box.
Sprinkle the grain with the solution,
shoveling the grain over to make sure
that every grain is wet. Use from
half gallon to a gallon to a bushel.
Cover it with old sacks or blankets
for at least two hours, or better, sew
eral hours. 1t should stand over
night. Then it is spread out to dry
or is sacked to USE at once.
In dipping, the grain is placed in
gunny sacks and repeatedly dipped in
the solution until every grain is wet
1t should be allowed to drain off and
| after two hours or over night at most
be spread out to dry and air if moi
to be used at once. Wheat is likely
to be injured if left wet too long.
The drill and the covers used in
disinfecting should also be disin
fected with the solution In case the
grain is swollen, it may be necessary
to increase the feed of the drill t.
insure sowing the proper amount

ter from her cousin, j. w. Kradle,
of Chadwick, ILL.,, but who has visited

much interest to his friends here
that we reprint it as follows:
Somewhere in France, July 10.
Dear Cousin:
Received your letter a few days
ago. Was glad to hear from you.

kill some Germans, but ! guess | got
the worst end. l have been in the
hospital just about a week. In
tend to get out in few days. | am
not in a very serious condition. II
/ ever get back up to the lines will
make up for lost time. Some of US
may be unlucky, but nevertheless the
Bochs are getting a merry chase. We
will soon have them driven across
the Rhine.
1 suppose you folks are busy
threshing these days. Would like to
be there, not to do any work, but to
get good square feed.
Well, perhaps / will be able to
give a helping hand next year, if
am not unlucky enough to be left
behind to push up daisies.
How is Alice and Andy getting
alone? Is mother at the end Of the
lane still among the living?
We have a few pets here when
ever we get to the lines. Rats and
small creature called coolies or
otherwise. Graybacks. But they are
not hard to get rid of.
Well, l will have to make my let
ter short for this time, will try and
write more next time. Hoping these
few lines find you folks fine and
dandy. as I feel pretty good today
myself. only little weak.
AS ever, your cousin,
