STRAW HATS Cleaned And Re-Blocked : | NEXT WEEK WE are sending into the straw hat works, direct, several trunks full of old straw hats. THEY WILL come back looking every bit as good as new—New Bands, New Ribbons, and as white as a Lily.

THIS IS just a part of the superior HILLIARD & HAMILL STORE SERVICE. TeawiraVa Weather Probably showers.

A wholesale arrest of alleged slackers occurred recently at Flint, Michigan, when *5,000 men were taken into custody by the authorities. The men were charged with failure to register under the selective draft law and every man of draft age, who could not show a registration card was arrested. An investigation was made and all of the men, except 100, were released, having satisfied the officers that they had registered in compliance with the law. Motorists should be careful that the spare tire on the rear of the automobile does not dude a part or all of the number on the license plate.

The police in many sections are rigidly enforcing the law and motorists will find that paying a fine is an expensive way 'to learn of such mistakes.
