Springsteen, Postmaster at Indianapolis, Ind., and as such Chief Registrar for all the non-.urban districts throughout the state of Indiana, do hereby notify all German aliens in said non-urban areas that they are required to register at the nearest post office in their respective counties at sometime between Monday, February 4th, beginning at 6 a.. m. and continuing to 8 p. m. each day to and including Saturday, February 9, 1918, at 8 p. m. Every -male German who has not taken out his second naturalization papers must apply to the Postmaster at the nearest post office to his place of residence for blank fo’rms of registration affidavits which he must fill out in triplicate and return to the Postmaster and sign and swear to the same. The Postmaster will then take his description and finger prints. No personal notices will be given and no forms or notices will be sent by mail. Each registrant is required to furnish four unmounted photographs of.himself not larger than 3x3 inches in size, on thin paper with light background. All the photographs must be signed by the registrant across the face of the photograph, so as not to obscure the features if the applicant is able to write. Every registrant should carefully read the forms of registration affidavit handed him and ask for explanation on all points not clear to him before attempting to fill out the blanks. ROBT. E. SPRINGSTEEN, Chief Registrar Non-Urban Area, Indiana. January 22, 1918.

E. L. Hollingsworth, who was to , have started for Glostfer, Miss., last s evening, has been forced to delay his. i departure a few days on account of circumstances over which he has no • control. Mrs. Hollingsworth and ' Gerald are sick, the latter with the measles, and it is impossible to secure a nurse, and this morning Mr. ; Hollingsworth was notified that his sheep and cattle are sick at his farm ■ from eating leaking silage, and that one sheep had already died. He is short of help at the farm and ,it is impossible to secure labor, so he has to look after affairs at both , his home and the farm and in consequence has his hands full. He intends to leave for the south yet this week if circumstances perniit. ' lie Clark and John Werner have postponed their trip to the south to a future date owing to the death of Mr. Clark’s uncle, A. W. Cole, of I Lafayette.
