Bee Want-Ads Produce Results.
Three days till registration.
Election Commissioner Moorhead,
who, with Mayor Dahlman, consti
tute the registration board, an
nounced that every cog in his ma
chine is in place and that "bad luck"
awaits the young man between the
ages of 21 and 31 who may try to
evade conscription by not register
ing. "We want a 100 per cent registra
tion in Douglas county next Tuesday,
May 5," said Mr. Moorhead, "and we
believe the number of intention slack
ers will be infinitesimal."
The law plays no favorites. Every
man within the prescribed age limits
must register, 'regardless of whether
or not he thinks he is exempt. The
exemptions will come afterwards, but
no one is excused from registration.
Three Hoboes Register.
A rough exterior is no sign of lack
of patriotism.
This fact was demonstrated in Mr.
Moorhead's office Friday morning
when three men of the type known
as "hoboes" registered their names
for selective conscription.
"We've got no home," explained
these knights of the road, "but we're
Americans and don't want anyone to
ever accuse us of being slackers."
They said they were "blowing on"
to "Kay See."
More than 500 absentees and sick
persons have registered in Douglas
county thus far.
The 124 voting places in the county
are being put in shape for registra
tion day.
About 400 volunteer registrars will
serve. A dozen of them are women.
Mr, Moorhead has a reserve list
of volunte :rs in case the registrars do
not show up.
Patriotic Services at
All Saints' on Sunday
A patriotic service will be held in
All Saints' church Sunday at 11 a. m.
The Boy Scouts will carry banners
specially made for this occasion and a
platoon of the regular army will march
in the procession. The salute to the
flag will be given to the roll of drums
and the whole congregation will be
asked to pledge their devotion to Old
Glory. Dr. A. D. Laird will play a
cornet solo and will lead in the sing
ing of the patriotic hymns, assisted
by the organ and full choir. The an
them will be the "Recessional" by
Kipling.
G. W. Wattles will deliver an ad
dress on patriotism. Citizens cor
dially welcomed.

Persistent Advertising is the Road
to Success.
On the theory that alien enemies
are abroad in the land and that they
are bent on the destruction of food
supplies in storage in different parts of
the country, State Fire Commissioner
Ridgell has sounded a note of warn
ing to grain elevators and mill men
around Omaha.
The state lire commissioner urges
that both day and night grain eleva
tors, mills and all other buildings
used for the storage of grain and food
supplies be well guarded by trusted
men. He suggests that the buildings
be guarded within as well as without
in order that fires may not be started.
As an extra precaution, the fire
commissioner urges that care be taken
to keep the grain storage buildings
clean and that electric wire connec
tions be carefully looked after.

How the Military Draft
Will Affect You
Tuesday, June 5th, 1917, will be Registration Day under the selective draft law.
It is expected that it will give the United S tates Government a list of 10,000,000 men (in
cluding those who have taken out first citizen ship papers) of ages ranging from twenty-one to
thirty years. From this list the first 500,000 m en of the new national army1 will be selected to
begin training about September 1st. ';,:..
: THE LITERARY DIGEST for June 2d gives all the available official and unofficial in
formation which throws light on the many points in the actual operation of the draft law. The
article shows the questions that will be asked and how they must be answered; who must regis- -ter
and where; the penalties for failing to register or for making false statements at registra
tion, whether about oneself or another person; those who are exempt, and how exemption ,
claims must be made. Sickness or physical disability of any kind does not excuse absence or
failure to register. The Canadian Government h a3 closed the border to American citizens of
military age until after Registration Day. '
No date in the history of the country is fraught with more significance than will be on!
June 5th, 1917, for on that day, as the New York Evening Mail states, "will be laid the founda- ,r
tion for the great bulwark that the American people have pledged themselves to build in the
defense of the liberties of the world." '
If you would save yourself inconvenience, not to say future anxiety, be sure to buy and read
THE LITERARY DIGEST for June 2d. The information alone which the leading article con- '
tains directly affects a great proportion of the American people. .....
Other features of immediate interest in this number of "The Digest" are:

An Unusually Good Collection of Half-
To Test "The Digest" Is to Prove Its Worth
The dictionaries define news as fresh informa
tion regarding something that has recently hap
pened. This implies that news, to be worthy of the
name, must be up to the minute, must cover actual
events, and must be bona-fide. The average man
who confines his newspaper reading to one or two
newspapers gets only a confused perspective. He
reads "as in a glass, darkly," and is naturally be
fogged. There is one periodical which sweeps away
every cloud of doubt and mirrors back the sunlight
of truth by giving all sides and every angle of the
world's news-reports. This is THE LITERARY DI
GEST, which presents all view points impartially,
advocating none, giving the actual, unvarnished
facts, and leaving you to form your own judgment.
Test it and prove its worth.
