of tho United States authority to call
upon state and county officers nnd
citizens for such services as he deems
advisable, as follows:
"Section C That the president is
hereby authorized to utilize the ser
vices of any or all departments nnd
any or nil officers or agents of the
United States, nnd of tho several
Btntes, territories nnd the District of
Columbia, in the execution of this
net, nnd all officers and agents of the
United States nnd of the several
states, territories nnd the District of
Columkin. arc hereby required to per
form such duties in the execution of
this act as the president shall order
and direct, and officers nnd agents
of the several states shall hereby have
full authority for all acts done by
them in the execution of this act by
tho direction or request of the prcsi
dent." Under the authority vested in him
by this act, tho president of the Unit
ed States has directed me to commun
icate with the sheriffs, county clerks,
and county physicians in every coun
ty in Nebrnskn, advising 'them thnt
a military census will soon be taken
for the purpose of registering citi
zens of the state. .If is tho presi
dent's intention to issue a proclama
tion within n short time, designating
the age limits nnd containing other
information. All citizens of the class
es named will report for registration
to their accustomed polling places on
tho day designated by 'the president.
The law carries a penalty for a fail
ure to so report.
The services of public spirited cit
izens should bo secured to uct as
registrars, two being assigned to each
precinct. County defense councils,
where organized, enn render great as
sistance in tnking this census. It is
hoped that this work will be accom
plished so far as possible without
cost to the government, but the fed
eral government is prepared to pay
necessary expenses.
Registration blanks and necessary
information will be mailed to county
sheriffs nnd by them distributed to
tho polling places. It is hoped that
preparations will be completed for the
taking of the census within fifteen
days after issuance of tho president's
proclamation.
You will tnko immedinto steps to
organize the machinery to carry out
thep resident's program as outlined
above, and for further information,
communicate with tho secretary of

A Word of Appreciation
We think It only fair to thus public
ly express our appreciation of tho
splendid manner in which Mr. Burton
of Frauklin has taken eaio of the
piano so badly damaged In tho Tepee
tire. IIo has certainly proven himself
equal to tho occasion when It comes to
roal piano work and that he lh rightly
termed tho "l'iauo Doctor."
This Inbttumcnt had the appearance
of being ruined or a perfect wreck, and
in loss than three days time Mr. Bur
ton turned over to ns a splendid look
ing piano in ilrst class condition thru
out, aud as hU contract called for the
Inside work only wo wore both supprls
ed and delighted to find tho outside
finish bo nicely restored.
To sum it all up In a nutshell it was
u splendid pieco of work at a very
reasonable price, aud it Is our judge
ment that ho Is living up to his reputa
tion of being one of the most thorough
piano men In tho btate.
