 Frederick Wagner the farmer as- sassinated in this county Tuesday, was no doubt killed because he was a German; because he spoke German and his family spoke German and be- cause he engaged in arguments up holding the kaiser.

He should have upheld the country of his adoption when it was in peril.

THE DRAFT IS NEXT.

Within very few days there will be put in operation another selective draft This draft is for the registra- ton of all men who are within the IS to i5 ages, and it is imperative that every man within these ages register,
 The word of this draft registration should be carried to every man within our county so that there will be no slackers and no draft resisters.
 The government asks every patri otic organization to cooperate with the local draft boards in every community to see that every man Is registered who is within these ages. It is urged of holiday, and that bands play. and the people do such things as will call attention to the draft to all persons
 The government also urges that campaigns be created to enthuse and enlighten the negroes and the aliens, that they may fully understand the importance of the day
