The machinery of registration in
<tach county is to be in charge of
the sheriff, the county clerk aj*d the
coun'y physician, acting ex-officio
unless a differenq board shall be an
rounced by the governor.
"Th© sheriffs or other designated
officials, immediately upon receivin
notic« from the governor, shall ap

"Ou the fifth day after the presi

clerks cf counties and cities of ov
er 30,000 must secure a supply of
blaai-3 and copies of the registratio
iemulations from the sheriff or from
the mayor. Absentees and the sfck

In no case shall such persons be

that *b« burden is on them to see to
it tha* tfcat the cards reach the reg

"Persons absent from their home
coun'ies may register by mail, if
so absent, & man should go to the
clerk of the county where he may
be staying, on the sixth day after
♦he date o£ the president's procla
mation.
"Persons too sick to present them

Prejudice.
Prejudice Is knowing It isn't so when
you don't know anything about It
Prejudice Is something you are sure
yon haven't a bit of yourself, but yon
are sore everybody rise has a lot of.
Prejudice is the mother of laziness, the
ally of Ignorance and superstition and
the world's greatest bar to progress.—

GOVERNMENT TO BAR
EXCESSIVE WAR PROFITS
If Prices Are Too High Uncfe Sam
Can Take Over and Oper
ate Plants.
The government b::s Invoked for the
first time Its drastic powers to strike
a de«thMow at exorbitant war profits.
Under authority of the last naval ap
propriation bill a manufacturer was
directed to furnish u large order of war
supplies at a price fixed by the govern
ment, fur lower than the figure volun
tarily submitted. If the order Is not
obeyed the plant will be taken over
and operated by the government
It Is understood that the concern
igainst which these statutes have been
invoked refused to meet the govern
ment's requirements as to price when
the orders were tendered originally
tad In the regular way. So far as
known this is the only case of the kind
yet pro-luce ! by the present emergency.
European governments are paying an
average of 10 per cent profit on war t
materials purchased In the United
States. It was asserted authoritatively
that the government of the United
States Intends to buy its own supplies
at less than that rate of profit to the
seller. The law Invoked Is section 3
of the last naval appropriation bill, as
follows:
The president Is authorized to require
the owner or occupier of any factory In
which the ships or war material are built
or produced to place at the disposal of
the L'nlted States the whole or any part
of the output of such factory and, within
the limit of the amounts appropriated
therefor, to deliver such output or parts
thereof In such quantities and at such
times as may be specliled In the order at
■uch reasonable price as shall be deter
mined by the president.
