Post Office or R . F. D . . . . . . . . . . . "Inclose a self addressed stamped envelope with your registration card for your registration certificate. Fail­ ure to get this certificate may cause you serious inconvenience. "Male persons within the designat­ ed ages who, on account of absence at sea or on account of absence without the territorial limits of the United States, may be unable to comply with the regulations herein pertaining to absentees will, within five days after reaching the first United States port, register with the proper registration board or as herein provided for other absentees. Before completing the registration cards of such persons the proper county or city clerk will require of them an affidavit stating the cause of their absence, which affidavit will be forwarded to the registration board t)f the persons' domiciliary precinct to be filed with the registration card. "Persons absent from their homes at training camps, schools, colleges or other similar institutions will be treated as absentees and should reg­ ister as prescribed for absentees. However, for their convenience, the county clerk or clerks of cities of 30,000 or over are authorized to dep­ utize a competent person to certify to the registration cards of non-residents in such institutions (but not to fur­ nish registration certificates or to reg­ ister such persons) and to furnish a sufficient supply of .cards to do so. It must be borne in mind that such registration must be made a sufficient length of time before the date set by the president for registration to en­ able such student to mail the cards as stated in section 64; that the bur­ den of registration in his own domi­ ciliary precinct is on every man; and that persons in this class must see to it at their peril that their registra­ tion cards are in the hands of the reg­ istrar of their domiciliary percinct at the time prescribed in the president's proclamation. "While felons will be considered morally unfit for military service and will not be drafted, those within the designated ages will, in every case, be registered. Inmates of peniten­ tiaries will be registered by the war­ den thereof on the day set for regis­ tration, and the required reports will be rendered to the adjutant general, but will not by him be entered on the consolidated state report. The regis­ tration cards will be kept by the war­ den and not consolidated with county records. The copies thereof will be forwarded to the adjutant general and will not be consolidated with the cards of the state, but will be kept in a separate file. Persons awaiting trials and misdemeanants are not to be treated as felons. The inmates of jaHs and reformatories who are not felons will be treated as absentees and will be registered and their cards for­ warded tos their domiciliary precinct as provided in section 56 and 64, ex­ cept that the warden or jailer will ob­ tain the necessary cards from the sheriff or other executive officer and certify to the registration, and assist prisoners in forwarding the cards to their domiciliary precinct. Cards for such registration in jails, peniten­ tiaries and reformatories will be sup­ plied by the governor from the state surplus* supply. In forwarding pris­ oners' cards to the proper registration precincts, wardens and jailers may mark the inclosing envelope "Official business, War Department," and send them without affixing a stamp. Persons who, on account of sick­ ness, are unable to present themselves for registration on the day set by the president will cause some competent person to apply to the county or city clerk for a copy of the card and for authority to fill it out (including the registrar's report on the back there­ of). If satisfied that the case is bona fide, the clerk will deputize the per­ son applying for the card to make out the card and the registrar's report, first carefully explaining the card. The card will then be mailed by the sick person, or delivered by his agent, to the registrar of the sick person's voting precinct as described for cards of absentees. The sick person will in­ close a self addressed envelope for registration certificate. At each booth will be- posted a placard giving information of the character of the questions asked and the answers expected. Familiarize yourself with this placard and have answers responsive to the questions to be asked ready in your mind." The failure of any young man to register will mean imprisonment. While we feel safe in stating that Mc­ Henry township hasn't any slackers, one never can tell and for this reason The Plaindealer is taking it upon itself to urge all eligibles to be sure and register next Tuesday. There is some speculations as to how many will be required to register in this township. Some place the number from 125 to 200, while the more conservative guessers are plac­ ing the number at from 90 to 100. The Plaindealer hopes to publish a complete list of those registered in its issue of next week and should we fail to call on the registrars of the two vot­ ing precincts - we will consider it a great favor if these gentlemen will make out a duplicate list (of the names only) and hand or mail them to this office for publication. In conclusion we reiterate, don't fail to register. Altar and Roeary Society The Altar and Rosary society wtfl meet at the K. of C. hall tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. A birthday social will be in order.
