All German alien enemies are re quired to register in their respective districts beginning on February 4, 1918 and continuing up to and including February 9, 1918. Persons required to register should understand that in so doing they are giving proof of their peaceful disposi tions and of their intention to conform to the laws of the United States. Every registrant should read care fully the form of registration affidavit handed *him and ask the registration officer for explanation on all points not clear to him before attempting to fill <mt the blanks. Registration officers are instructed to give registrants all possible aid in the way of explanation and advice. Each registrant is required to furnish four unmounted photographs of him self, not larger than 3x3 inches in size, on thin paper, with light background All four photographs should be signed by the registrant across the face of the photographs so as to not obscure the features, if the applicant is able to write. Three blank forms of registration af fidavit must be completely filled out by the registrant or his representative, I (with the exception of the blanks indi cated to be filled out by the registra tion officer and the description of the registrant and the placing of finger prints on the blank), and must be pro duced by the registrant personally to i the registrant officer and be signed and | sworn to by the registrant in the pres ence of and before the registration offi cer, who will fill in the description of the registrant and supervise the fixing of the finger prints and the attaching of the photographs.

W RANDOLPH, United States Marshal When a woman leads a man a dog’s life, that doesn’t mean that she pets him. HITS THE BULLSEYE The following article written by "The Sharpshooter" in the Commercial West,hits the nail squarely on tha head in regard to many of the citizens of the country, says the Cadott Sentinel: "A good many things come too late. Repentance in jail is better than no re pentance; but it is considerably behind schedule time. If time is not the es sence of piety, it is at least a mild tincture of it. Waiting till it becomes dangerous to be a pro-German before becomming a good American, is late loyalty—too late to mature before frost. The throat that was singing "Die Vatch am Rhine” last March is hardly fit to lead the congregation in "America” today. Because a pro-Ger man is now mum is not proof that he is inoccous. Glum silence is better than felonious yawp; but it is not to be counted to a man for loyalty. Glum si lence is very good culture in which to grow German germs "These are times when men should be tested out as to their loyalty. It is your business and mine to know what our neighbor is thinking about German frightfulness; about the success of the Allies; about the idea of a German ov er-lordship in America; about a "Deutchland über Aller. ” "If the neighbor does not speak out of his own accord he should be made to speak out. This is probably the most caitical time in the war thus far! and at this time Germany will be particu larly busy through her secret organiz ations in this country to poison the public mind and the public’s soup, and the public’s cow. ‘ Germany stops at nothing snaky. She has cast off all fear of God, man or uevil; and has spit upon the whole world. A copperhead in 1863 was a Christian Endeavor society compared with the typical German of today. "Germania is a Medusa with snaky locks and petryfying looks. She re joices in her figure in the mirror. Like the Loreli, she combs her snakes with a eolden comb, and sings a song while doinp t No lunatic in a padded cell ever more free from moral or civil law And when the mother of Deutsc 1 - tum is in this deplorable slate of mind you must look out for the children Lunacy is hereditary." Wearing Down the Kaiser Many are familliar with the fable that appeared in the old school readers about the king who offered a fortune and the hand of his daughtor to the man who could tell a story that would last forever in the telling, with the stipulation, however, that in case the st<>r.v came to an end, the person who faild to complete it was to lose his head by the sword. A number of adventurous spirits lost their heads in the attempt to keep a serial going forever to amuse the ec centric monarch; but, one young man finally won the fortune and the daugh ter by wearing out the very soul of the king with the story of the locust carry ing off the corn. “And then another 1 eust came and carried off another grain of corn,” etc., etc., until the king decided that he had had enough of the story. America—in fact, the whole world is dealing with an “eccentric” monarch today. This monarch wants the im possible, and every one who refuses to give it to him must lose his head. There is one way to deliver the people of the world from this menace. Kaiser Wilhelm can be wornout.if he cannot be crushed by one tremendous blow. And the government at Wash ington has pointed out the way. Money will defeat the kaiser. Small savings, like the locusts, eom ing along from 110,000,000 American citizens, will wear out the soul of the war-mad monarch. American money can wear out any army in the world, because there is a great deal of Ameri can mouey, and there are many Ameri cans who have it. Just a mere matter of a quarter a day from every wage earner in the United States .would mean billions of dollars every year to buy guns and food for soldiers and ships to carry them across the Atlantic to defeat the sinister pur pote of the kaiser and his crew. A quarter, like the grain of corn is not much in itself,but millions of quar ters every day means victory for right eousness and humanity. — A distinguished surgeon was mo mentariaily dazed recently while mak : ing his rounds through a hospital by a wounded soldier who inquired querul ously: “Say, doctor, when one doctor doctors another doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring, doctor the other doctor like the doctor wants to be doc tored, or does the doctor doing the doc toring doctor the other doctor like the doctor doing the doetoring wants to doctor him?” WINTER SPORTS ARE NOW IN FULL SWING BOYS we have a nice stock of skis that will be sure to please you.
