sooner or later unseat the 1Iohenzoi'

the hands Of that insufferable crew
OF egnoinaniacs and inurdcrers the
sword with which they threaten the
whole world. a victorious Hohenzol-

people IN the thraldom of the tri-

The German people are Sleep walkers

ist that ever made subject the human

Germans need defeat, and they must

Germany must be defeated now i'll

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
ISSUES WARNING no AUrOISTS

Less Than Half Of License Plates An.
piled For and Time is Limited.
'For the information of automobile
owners who desire to take out their
license for 1918 the highway depart-
mcnt states that supply of applica-
ton blanks for 1913 have been for
"ardcd TO every dealer in the state,
and also supply has been sent TO the
clerk of court Of every county. Own
crs can obtain same by applvinp tn
these dealers, or to the clerk of court,
and thus save considerable time, as in
most cases they can obtain the neces-
sary information as to the horse now
er OF their automobile, the motor nrm-
ber' the model, style and such infor-
nation required by the highway de-
partment before the license can be is
sued. A simple refcrcnc to tn 1917
license number is not sufficient and
an application must be filled out and
sent in for each motor vehicle.
AS the time is getting very short
and no authority is given any one
man i'll the state, or to any group of
men, save the legislature, to extend
the time limit it would be wise for all
owners Of motor vehicles to make an
pllcation promptly so as to get their
license plate at the earliest possible
moment. Up to Saturday night, Jan
uary 18th, less than half of the licenses
issued for 1917 have been taken out for
1918, and though the highway depart
ment is working over time they will
not be able to issue all licenses before
February 1st. However, this will be
no excuse for automobile owners and
under the law they cannot operate
their motor vehicles without the 1918
license plate on same, whether they
have made application for their license
or not.
