Absentees Must Come Home Or Send Their Blanks.

According to the members of the local conscription board, anyone who is required to register on June 5 and who will not be here, should immediately secure a registration blank and mail it at once to Sheriff Me-' Colly. This should be done before June 5 or the penaltv prescribed by law .will be enforced. It matters not whether the person who is of mil itary age is a resident of Rensselaer or some other county or township, he is required to send in his registration blank filled out if he will not be here bn June 5. These blanks may be secured at the office of (the county clerk or sheriff of any county in the United States. Too great care can not be used in this matter; for the penalty for not regisering is a severe one and relatives oi any party required to register should attend to this matter immediately. . Any absentee should state specifically on his card what township ani precinct he is from, so that registration may be given proper credit.
