NATIONAL "REGISTRATION
DAY" FOR MEN AND WOMI


Aberdeen, Dec. 2S.-A national reg
istration day, when every person in the
country over l6 years of age, both men
and women, will 20 to registration
places and enroll, is the proposal of the
South Dakota State Council of Defense.
The purposes of the registration are to
catalogue the vocational abilities of
every able bodied person in the country,
for use in the government and war in
dustries in filling labor requirements
and if possible to determine just what
every person has done in giving aid to
any of the war activities.
The plan has been submitted to the
national council of defense, in a letter
from c. II. Anderson, of Pierre, chair
man of the South Dakota council. The
registration day would be set aside by
presidential proclamation.
The registration blanks, which would
be filled out on that day, would contain
following information in regard to every
Teglstrant:
First-Name, age, place of residence,
nationality.
Second-Occupation and experience
in same.
Third-Family relation, such as head
of family, single or dependent.
Fourth-Employer of labor and ex-
| tent of same.
Fifth-Educational qualifications.
Sixth-Experience in military train
ing or any kind.
Seyenth-Willingness to enter any
! branch of military or public service, and
all other such facts as would enable the
government to determine what its man
| power resources are.
With such information at hand the
government and war enterprises would
know where they could secure the re-
quired help, Mr.. Anderson's letter
points out.

BUYS BANK STOCK
E. G. Kneeland Buys Stock in the First
National Bank of Custer, Owned
by Mr.. D. Carrigan.

AS briefly noticed in these columns
last week, very important business
deal was consummated in this city on
December 9th when Mr.. l.. q. Knee
land, of Wall, S. d., purchased the stock
in the First National Bank owned by
Mr.. d. Carrigan.
The bank is one of the oldest institu-
tions of the city. 1t was established in
1881 by Mr.. Carrigan as the Bank of
Custer. In 1890 the First National Bank
succeeded the Bank of Custer and from
that time until the present Mr.. Carrigan
has been president of the institution
which is in a prosperous condition. 1t
owns the bank building, which was
erected in 1911, and was designed especi-
ally for banking purposes.
Mr.. Carrigan, who retires from the
banking business after so many years, is
one of the city's solid, substantial, best
known and highly regarded citizens
His unquestioned integrity, business
ability and good judgment enabled him
to prosper as the town and county grew,
and no one enyied him his success.
Mr.. f. g. Kneeland, who succeeds
Mr.. Carrgan, has been in the banking
business at Wall for the past ten years,
and the Record of that place says that
during his stay there he has been the
foremost spirit in advancing the interests
of the town and community. Mr.. Knee
lands family have been living in Custer
for some time and have made many
friends here. His son, Clifford, was
cashier Of the First National Bank until
about two months ago when he resigned
1t will be very pleasant for all concern
ed for the two families to be near to-
gether. The Kneeland's will be a real
acquisition to Custer business and social
circles and the CHRONICLE bids them
welcome.

WAR SAVINGS.

"War Savings Stamps mark an epoch
in our national life. ."-SeCretary of the
Treasury McAdoo
Many successful business man has
said that the saving of his first dollar
was the most important single act of his
life; that it marked the beginning of a
habit and course of conduct to which
he attributed his success.
Something very analogous to this, it is
believed, is going to be the effect on
the American Nation of the War Saw
ings campaign. Not only are millions
of individual citizens going to begin to
save, but this habit of economy and
saving is going to be a collective move
ment, a movement not Of individuals
alone but of the Nation.
The habit of saving formed now has a
deeper incentive than ordinary. We
are saving now not alone for selfish
reasons, we are saving now from patriot
ism, saving not alone for ourselves but
for our country. The combination of
patriotism and thrift is, indeed, going to
make the War Savings campaign an
epoch in our national life 1t is not
only going to be thing of tremendous
benefit to millions of citizens, it is going
to be thing of tremendous advantage
to the Nation as a whole, and affect our
whole national life. 1t marks the be-
ginning of a new era in American life,
an era of economy good sense, and
patriotism.

OIL IN CUSTER COUNTY.

Land lying northwest of the Wind
Cave has been recently located as oil
placer, by Hot Springs parties who are
acting under the advice of experts who
have been over the ground, and it is
now thought that the whole of Beaver
Valley may be one huge oil dome.
Great excitement is also said to pre-
vail around Argyle, where it is said the
oil shows up on the wells that have
been dug in that vicinity. The reporter
talked with VIM. Lewis, of Argyle, who
is already getting the required machin-
cry to commence work.
Mr.. John f. Sidey, former Custer
county man, who represents one of the
biggest oil companies in the northwest
it is understood is looking over the diff.
ferent prospects and tending to the work
of validating
