Registration booths will be pro-
vided in each voting precinct in
Oklahoma.
Co-operation Necessary
It is esfential that the people
of this state shall accord the full-
est measure of cooperation in the
carrying out of this order. I ask
particularly that Councils of
Defense give this work heartiest
cooperation and hold these coun-
cils together with registrants re-
sponsible for a 100 per cent
registration. Ignorance of the
law and of regulations issued by
proper authority under the law
excuses no one. All persons on
the border line of the age of
registration will be required to
give adquate proof that they are
outside of the age limit specified.
The penalty for failure to register
is one year's imprisonment, and
no man can exonerate himself by
the payment of a fine.

1 OUR HONOR ROU.
I The Democrat is endeavoring to
get a complete list of all of the
boys from Stroud and vicinity
! wno are now in France. We can-
! not do this without your assist-
I ance. If you have a boy in the
army now in France, please fur-
nish us with the information de-
sired. We expect to make a
large and complete honor roll and
we dj not want to miss or omit
I a single Stroud boy who is now in
France serving his country. This
! record will be a permanent one,
'and added to from time to time,
as other Stroud boys arrive in that |
icountry "over there." Won ti
you please help us to compile the ■
list? , t
What we mean by Stroud and j
vicinity is any boy whose parents'
get their mail at Stroud or on
the routes out of Stroud, or if he,
when he registered, gave Stroud
as his postoffice.

Build More Comfort into the Farm Home
YX)U can't expect

trade mark is on the
bach of the board
you buy.
Your farming success entitles you to more home
comforts and conveniences.
That's what a man works for after all, so why
not have these good things now? Why let the
home get run down just at the time when you 11
enjoy it most?
Think of the old cracked ard tumbledown walls and
ceilings first. You can get rid of this most glaring difficulty
by covering them all with Beaver Board and making new
rooms out of the old ones.
This done, you'll feel like tackling other things because
the building of new rooms with this substantial building
material is accomplished so easily, you can do the whole
thing yourself

BOARD
An attempt was evidently
made to burn the residence of
Henry Isasc, south of Kenney,
Tuesday night. Mr. and Mrs.
Issac are on a visit in Oklahoma,
and a couple of old people were
left to take care of the house.
Tuesday night the people in the I
house heard someone about the.
place, whom they at first suppos-,
ed to be Coleman, the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Issac, who often goes
to the farm to stay all night.
But as he did not come in and the
noises continued, the old people
became frightened and went to
the home of their son. The next
morning, paper, saturated with j
coal oil was found tucked under
the edge of the house. It is sup- (
posed the intruders were fright-
ened away when the caretakers
got up out of bed.—Gazette-
Herald, Kennev, 111. Mr. and
Mrs. Issac formerly lived in
Stroud and are well known to the
i people here.
