child who could do anything to help
win the war and has not done 1t.
One thing you can do to help is to
come out promptly on Saturday,
April 9th, and register at your poll
ing station. This will save time,
work, and energy, and increase the

How many know that the Navy is
the best paying, and considered by
most people the most desirable
branch of military service. The
navy wants recruits now, and there
is an opportunity for those who do
not care to wait for the draft, to get
in this branch of the service. Two
naval recruiting officers were in Paw
Paw last Monday, and made arrange
ments to have recruiting officer here
every Monday morning from $3.50 to
1000 a. m. for the examination Of
naval recruits. This will be a pre-
Iliminary examination, and if the ap-
plicant is satisfactory to the recruit
ing officer, he will be sent to Detroit
at government expense for final ex-
animation. If, for any reason the
applicant fails to pass the final ex-
animation at Detroit, he will be sent
home at government expense. The
chances are that nearly every able
bodied young man in the country will
be needed in some branch of the
army before the war is over, and
right now is the time for those who
believe that they will like the navy
better than some other branch. All
those who contemplate enlistment in
the navy can get full particulars
from David Anderson, chairman of
the county war board.
