Thinking that Mr. Owens' friends and old comrades would like to know how he is since his recent operation 1 take the opportunity to do my ‘'bit" ^ by saying that Uncle Sam is a great | doctor. 1 have just reurned from Battle Mountain Sanitarium where my hus band has undergone a serious opera tion for removal of a large gall stone His advanced age and poor health made it a dangerous operation, and we were in doubts of his recovery- but thanks to the clear brain and steady hand of Colonel James A. Mattison. Governor and Surgeon we are pleased to say Mr. Owens has a chance tc 1 live, and be w ell once more. We hope ' in the near future to have him home ! again. To much can not be said of this wonderful institution with its skilled surgeons, efficient and kind nurses and wardens. The sar.itatura is situated a* the base of Battle .Mountain. It is a modern and imposing building amid beautiful and well kept grounds. The inmates of the sanitarrum and cit: zens of Hot Springs seem to idolize Colonel Mattison. MRS. OWEN’S For the first time in the history of j Wayne and every other town, no able bodied loafers should be tolerated. There are chronic idlers who need the compensation to be derived from work but who are too lazy and too indif ferent to app^- themselves voluntar ily. They are sponges as far as. pos sible. only- working at rare intervals as occasion compels. The demands of this strenuous war period should introduce a new era in compulsory employment. Society- should demand some returns in profitable endeavor from every young person capable of doing something. Neither the young man with silk socks nor the one with patched trousers should be permitted to kill time and accomplish nothing while others are working overtime to sustain the government and provide food and other supplies for the world The able-bodied loafer should be sliak en loose from indolent habits and set to work.—Wayne Herald. Our perfectly good American hog is up in arms. He resents being mention ed in the same class with food specu lators.

L. Swanson ; Druggist THE PRESIDENT’S CALL The President has issued a procla mat ion, designating June 5th as Reg i-tration Day. for the purpose of on taining a military census of ail mer between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, the ages decided upon «bv Con gress. This is the only day on which it will be possible for a man to regis ter. No one between the ages pro vide,! is exempt from this registration. Every man between these ages must .-agister on this day. He will perform his duty at his regular polling place, which will be open from seven in the morning until nine P. M. Registration is solely for the purpose of obtaining a list of eligible men in the United States. After this census has been taken, the process of ex emption will follow. While the law fixes a prison sentence as penalty for failure to register or to comply with any of the provisions of the law. it al so provides that where a man volun tarily presents himself for registration on the day designated by the Presi lent and in the event he is selected, voluntarily presents himself for ser vie. his name will be carried on the record as a volunteer soldier. The county registration board, com nosed of the county sheriff, clerk and physician, will appoint registrars for the various precincts within their county. The federal government is de sirous of having, so far as possible, these registrars serve voluntarily. The registrars for Sherman county are as follows: List of Registrars for Sherman County Jvast Logan: J. Q. Pray and Lincoln White. Oak Creek: Adam Radka and Wenzel Kewolinskl. Vest Oak Creek: E. E.

ARMY OF GIRLS WANTED Girls here is your opportunity to do something for your country and at the same time be a Good Samaratan tc the young men who are going out to fight and die in order that, you may have a country in which to live in peace and security. Every y«ung man who goes to war needs from two to three pairs of wristlets to wear around his wrists in the'chilly trenches of France. They will prevent thousands of bad cold: and many hundreds of deaths from pneumonia. But wristlets are not a part of the equipment furnished to each soldier bv the government. Hence if you the warm hearted young ladies of our country, do not make them our boys will not get them. Colonel Daniel E. McCarthy, de parment quartermaster of the Centra’ Department. C. S. Army. Chicago. 111., is so warm hearted and generous and patriotic that he is working nearly twenty hours a day in his efforts to make every arrangement for the com fort and well being of the troops.

Will each of yoi constitute yourself his aid and kni at least one pair of wristlets for "some girl's brother?" The colone has a beautiful young daughter, am she is knitting them too. The wristlets should be of tan coloi if possible, or dark gray or some otli er subdued color, so they will not at tract the attention of the enemy. The; should never be red or any othei bright color. They should be kni loosely enough to admit ot drawiuj them on and off over the hand, am should be about five inches in length The editor suggests that inside eaci pair you pin or sew a iutle slip of pa per with your name and address plain ly written thereon so the soldier boy: may know who sent them. And to aid the movement and alsc to do something for his country tht editor wants to publish in the pape: the name of every young lady whi joins in this worthy undertaking. Le us have your names as fast as yoi knit them. Write Colonel McCarthy a note tell ing him you are knitting some wrist lets and ask him where you are tt send them. He will answer your let ter promptly and will tell you jus what to do with them in order tha they may get to he right place. Ant he will be immensely pleased o heai trorn you because of what you are do ing for "the boys.” Girls, the editor makes this appea to you in the name of our country which we all love so well. You can not fight, but you CAN make lift more comfortable for the boys who dt the fighting—some of whom will nevej come back again. Come into the offict and talk it over with us. and if we cat aid you in any way we will do so. In writing to Colonel McCarthy ad dress your letter as follows: Coloue Daniel E. McCarthy U. S.
