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. :isa3iS3S3333lPAY CHECKS CASHED 35EgnngroassBag; FREE.-A BEAUTIFUL GIFT AT THE PALACE SATURDAY llt.T u.ta".ii w!S pi!'?

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: The Peace-Terms That Socialists Favor v Is "No Annexations and No Indemnities" a Device of th Ireland's Chance to Govern Herself How Food-Administrator Hoover Will Win Anti-Conscription Enemies in America Austria Fighting Off Teutonization That Active German Fleet The Scrap-Heaps of Science France's Great Engineering Feat Bees As Firemen .

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. June 2d Number on Sale To-day All News-dealers 10 Cents FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY (Publishers of the Famous NEW Standard Dictionary), NEW YORK
