HARRIS BURG TELEGRAPH ISSUES TWO MORE PROCLAMATIONS Governor Addresses Registra tion Boards and Tells People of Conscription Governor Brumbaugh last evening issued two more proclamations deal ing with the registration under the selective draft. One was addressed to the registration boards and regis trars and called upon them to do their duty, while the other was a notice to the people that everyone with the conscription ages must reg ister and that the national govern ment will handle the exemptions. The latter proclamation was as follows: "I have been asked by many peo. pie what exemptions are to be made by the national government in the matter of the act of Congress of May IS, 1917. Registration has been confused with conscription and that the minds of all may be informed 1 hereby state: "I. All male citizens between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, both years inclusive, must register on June fifth next. There are no ex ceptions to this whatever. All races, all creeds and conditions must alike conform to this act of Congress and present themselves for registration at their several voting precincts on the day named above. "11. Following this registration the President will take such steps as he may deem wise to enroll in the army and navy such registered persons as he may deem necessary. "The act of Congress, however, exempt from military service under this law such registered persons as are: (1) officials of the legislative, executive and judicial departments of the United States government, the state government, the territorial gov ernment and the District of Colum bia. "(2) Regularly or duly ordaineil ministers of religion, students who are at this time preparing for the ministry in recognized theological or divinity schools; "(3) All persons now in the mili tary and naval service of the United States. "(4) Members of any -well-recog nized religious sect or organization at present organized and existing and whose existing creed or princi ples forbid its members to partici pate In war in any form and "whose religious convictions are against war or participation therein in accord ance with the creed or principles of said religious organizations; but no person so exempted shall be exempt ed from service in any capacity that the President shall declare to be noncombatant. "It is important that all citizens and all registrars shall keep these facts in mind and, while all shall register on June 5, 1917, the font groups above indicated are exclud ed from those from whom member ship in the army and navy shall be chosen later on." Everybody So Busy Gardening; Little Change Seen on Farm-Garden Day Because of the great number of people already engaged in plot gar dening and in tilling every inch of available space little observance was made of what had been designated in an official proclamation as "Farm and Garden Day." The Governor in tended to work late this afternoon. It was intended this should sup plant the "Good Roads Day," but the people of the State have become so interested in farming that little change was noticed, according to a statement made by H. G. Nissley,' farm agent for Dauphin county. j Air. Xissley states the dairy situ ation is fast becoming acute in this vicinity. Farmers are everywhere ] selling the cows for beef because it pays better than to produce milk and butter. It is hoped the coming of pasturage will temporarily relieve the situation but unless some substi tute is found for the pesent high priced feed, used to produce milk, another raise is Inevitable, he says.

Hot car wheels finally burned olli the slippery coating and the driv ers put in the rest of the morning trying to get back on schedule. ACCUSED OF KOHBIXG BLIND 11. E.
