ESTABLISHED CREDIT | Because rhubarb leaves contain| The Wilmette Country clu Al Men Between 21 and 30, Both Inclusive, Must Register June 5th UNE 35, every young man in the United States who is 21 years old and who has not reached his thirty-first birthday, unless he already is enlisted in some military arm of the government, must regis- ter for service in the new national army of 500,000 men to be raised under the selective draft law enacted by «ongress May 18, 1917. Replies Must Be Exact. When the young man presents him- self at the booth the question list to be presented him will contain the twelve following questions, explana- tions of which are submitted here: "l. Name in full. Age in years." This means all your names, spelled out in full. State your age today in years only. Disregard additional months or days. Be prepared to say "19," or "25"; not "19 years, 3 months" or the like. "2. Home address." This means the place where you have your permanent home, not the place where you work. Be prepared to answer in this way: "232 Main street, Chicago, Cook county, Ill."--that is, give number and name of street first, then town, then county and state. "3. Date of birth." Write your birthday (month, day and year) on a piece of paper be- fore going to the registrar, and give the paper to him the first thing. Ex- ample: "August 5, 1894." If you do not remember the year, start to an- swer as you would if some one asked you your birthday--as, "Aug- ust 5." Then say, "On my birthday this year I will be (or was) ---- years old." Foreign Born Citizens. The registrar will fill in the year of birth. Many persons do not carry in mind the year they were born. This may be obtained by the regis- trar by subtracting the age in years on this year's birthday from 1917. The next question is: "4 Are you (1) a citizen; (2) a naturalized citizen; (3) an alien; (4) or have you de- clared your intention to become a citizen; specify which. 1. If you were born in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, you are a natural born citizen, no matter what may have been the cit- izenship or nationality of your par- ents. If you were born in Porto Rico you are a citizen of the United States, unless you were born of alien parentage. If you were born abroad, you are still a citizen of the United States if your father was a citizen of the United States at the time you were born, unless you have expatri- ated yourself. 2. You are a naturalized citizen if .you have completed your naturaliza- tion; that is, if you have "taken final papers." But you are not a citizen if you have only declared your in- tention to become a citizen (that is, if vou have only "taken out first papers"). In the latter case you are only a "declarant." You also are a naturalized citizen if, although for- eign born, your father or surviving parent became fully naturalized while you were under 21 years of age, and if you came to the United States under 21. Meaning of "Declarant." 3. You are a declarant if, although a citizen or subject of some foreign country, you have declared on oath before a naturalization court your intention to become a citizen of the United States. Receipt from the clerk of the court of the certified copy of such declaration is often called "taking out first papers." You are not a declarant if your first paper was taken out after September 25, 1906, and is more than seven years old. 4, You are an alien if you do not fall within one of the three classes above mentioned. "5. Where were you born?" First name the town, then the state, then the country, as "Columbus, O."; "Vienna, Austria"; "Paris, France"; "Sofia. Bulgaria." "6. If not a citizen, of what coun- try are you a citizen or subject?" This need be answered only by aliens and declarants. Remember that a "declarant" is not yet a citi- zen of the United States. If an'alien or declarant, state the name of your country, as "France," "Japan," "Chi- natural bern na," etc. Must Give Present Trade. "7. What is your present trade, occupation, or office?" This does not ask what you once did, nor what you have done most of the time, nor what you are best fitted I a ST to do. It asks what your job is right now. State briefly, as "farmer," "miner," . "student," "laborer" (on farm, in rolling mill, in automobile, wagon, or other factory); "machin- ist in automobile factory," etc. If you hold an office under state or fed- eral government, name the office you hold. If you are in one of the follow- ing offices or employments, use one of the names hereafter mentioned: "Custom house clerk," "employed in the transmission of the mails," or "employed in an armory, arsenal or navy yard," "mariner, actually em- ployed in the sea service of citizen or merchant within the United States." "8. By whom employed? Where employed?" If you are working for an indi- vidual, firm, corporation, or' associa- tion, state the name. If in business, trade, profession, or employment for yourself, so state. If you are an of- ficer of the state or federal govern- ment, say whether your office is un- der the United States, the state, county. or a municipality. In answer to the question as to where you are employed, give the town, county and state where you work. Clause on Denendents. "0. Have you =x rather, mother, wife, child under 12, or a sister or brother under 12, solely dependent upon you for support (specify which)?" Consider your answer thoughtfully. If it is true that there is another mouth than your own which you alone have a duty to feed, do not let your military ardor interfere with the wish of the nation to reduce the] war's misery to a minimum. On the other hand, unless the person you have in mind is solely dependent on you, do not hide behind petticoats or children. "10. Married or single (which)? Race (specify which)?" This does no task whether you were once married, but whether you are married now. In answer to the question as to vour race, answer briefly whether "Caucasian," "Mon- golian," "Negro," "Malayan," i or "Indian." Previous Military Service. "11. What military service have | you had? Rank? Branch? Years? | Nation or state?" No matter what country you served you must give complete in- formation. In answering these ques- tions, first name your rank, using one of the following words: "Com- missioned officer," - "non-commis- sioned officer," "private." Next state branch in which you served in one of the following words: "Infantry," "cavalry," * "artillery," "medical," "signal," "aviation," "supply," "ma- rine," "navy." Next state the num- ber of years' time spent in reserve. Finally name the nation or state you served. If vou served under the United States or one of the states of the United States name your service in one of the following terms: "National guard (of such and such a state)." "militia (or such and such a state)," "Volun- teers of United States," or "regular army (navy) of United States. Claims of Exemption. "12. Do not claim exemption from draft Specify grounds." Because you claim exemption from draft it by no means follows that you are exempt. For information of the war department you should make a claim now if you intend to prosecute it. Some persons will be exempted on account ofl their occupations or offices, some on account of the fact that they have relatives dependent upon them for support. Your an- swer touching these things will be important in supporting the claim you now intend to make in your an- swer to the present questions. Be sure, therefore, that the grounds you now state are in conformity with your answers to questions 7 and 8. In stating grounds you claim as ex- empting you, use one of the follow- ing terms: If you claim to be an executive, legislative, or judicial of- ficer of the state or nation, name your office and say whether it is an office of the state or nation. If you claim to be a member of a religious sect whose creed forbids its members to participate in war in any form, simply name the sect. If you are employed in the transmission of the United States mails or as an artificer or workman in an armory, arsenal, or navy yard of the United States, or if you are a mariner employed in the sea service of any citizen or merchant within the United States, so state. service, not counting' Greatest Investors in Covernmoant Bonds in the World. The French people are the greatest investors in government bonds in the world. At the close of the Franco- Prussian War in 1870 Germany de- manded and collected from France $1,000,000,000 indemnity. The French people, who were as loyal then in responding to their country's need as their soldiers are today, hastened to loan this tremendous sum to their country. Their patriotism turned a great misfortune into a great benefit. Their thrift in thus saving their money and investing it in government bonds not only brought great prosperity to France but the bonds rose in value all over the world and made the French national credit good wherever civilization existed. Ten years after the bonds were issued they com- manded a premium of 25 per cent. What the American Nation is called to do in lending the American gov- ernment $5,000,000,000 and taking its bonds therefor is little compared with the loan of $1,000,000,000 to France after the Franco-Prussian War by the French people. Called upon to do much less than their present allies, the French, the American people will demonstrate that they are second to no people in the world in patriotic support of their government. hE EE NORTH SHORE UNION IN PLEA AGAINST TOBACCO Ask That Tobacco Be Barred from , Comfort Bags for Soldiers. Ralph H. Ambrose, of the Wil- mette Presbyterian church, and John Page, of the Wilmette Congregational church, were installed as officers of the North Shore division of the Chi- cago Christian Endeavor union on May 24.

Jeffreys, field director of the Anti- Cigaret I.eague of America on the work of the organization, the di- vision adopted this resolution: "Whereas, It is the best scientific conviction that tobacco in any form is a poison and injurious to both body and mind; and "Whereas, Many soldier boys will become addicted to its use by cigar- ets sent to them in comfort bags; therefore be it "Resolved, That we, the members of the north shore division of the Chicago Christian Endeavor union, assembled in a patriotic and installa- tion service, this 24th day of May, 1917, now go on record as emphatic- ally disapproving the inclusion of cigarets, smoking tobacco or to bacco in any form, in the comfort bags or other packages being sent to the soldiers and sailors by the Red Cross and other organizations, and that we respectfully ask that, in the interest and for the protection of the boys who do not now use tobacco, such practice be discontinued.
