Patriots Vi" ^Register September 12th—Others Must
TKe Independent
VOL. XI CASHION, KINGFISHER COUNTY. OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, SEPT. 5, 1918
13,000,000 MEN MOST REGISTER SEPT., 12
New Draft Date Fixed By President Wilson In Proclamation
225,000 Oklahomans Will Register
Those Men in Their Eighteenth Year Will Be Placed in a Sep-
arate Group, The War Department has Announce, to Be
Subject to a Special Educational Program, and Will
Not Be Called Until the Supply of Other Available •
Men in the New Classes is Exhausted.
The Congress has passed the
new man power bill which makes
compulsory the registration of
all men between the ages of 18
and 45 (both inclusive), except
those previously registered, and
it is now a law and President
Wilson set Thursday, September
12, 1918 as the day when all
men of the above ages must ap-
pear before their registrar and
enroll for selective service.
Whether you were born in
America or in some foreign coun-
try; whether you have a large
family or are unmarried; whether
you work on the farm or in the
shops—no matter who or what
you are, unless you are in the
serviee, if you are between these
ages you must register on Sept-
ember 15.
If you shirk your duty not on-
ly will you be in personal danger
of arrest and severe punishment,
but your country will be in dang-
er. For as Chief of Staff Payton
C. March says; "The only way
that Germany can be whipped
is by America going into this
war with her whole strength!
Our garages will be closed on
Sundays after 11 o'clock begin-
ning Sunday September 15.
W. S. Cole, J. A. Johnson.
NOTICE
On account of acting as regis-
trar for Cashion on September
12th and as the registration will
be held in the Independent office
we will publish on Wednesday
next week, therefore all copy
for our next issue will have to
be in the office by 12 o'clock
noon Tuesday.
J. A. Johnson has installed
his new light and is stringing

iness houses and residences.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. John
Howard, a boy, Sept. 4.
Murle Vancuren and Joe
Gleichmann leave Friday for
training camp at Houston, Tex.
The first draft obtained almost
three million men. Two million
more are needed. "With an army
of 4,000,000 men," says General
March, "we can go through the
German line wherever w*> please.'
To get the rest of this five
million, all men between the ages
noted above MUST register.
There are about thirteen million
of these, but the draft boards
j will discard the unfit, those with
| large families and those in war
industries -and leave a gigantic
(army of determined men who
i are ready to rid the world of the
I menace of the Huns.
Men of Cashion who come
within the scope of this new law
j will register at the Independent
i office; those in Downs township
| will be registered at the usual
j voting place by T. J. Stringer,
i in Logan township at WTandell

ister, Others Must.
