STOP!

READ AND OBEY
OR
Suffer The Consequences

The Government demands that you register for the selective draft conscrip-
tion, at your voting precinct on the 5th, day of June--1917--unless your 21st birth-
day comes after the 5th, day of June 1917, or unless your 31st, birthday comes be-
fore the 6th, day of June, 1917.

This Means You. The United States Government
Cannot Be Trifled With

If you are within the ages from 21 to 31 as described above and do not regis-
ter on the 5th day of June, 1917, the Governments Agents will find you and your
minimum punishment for not registering will be one year of hard labor in the United
States penitentiary, and maybe more.

NO EXCUSE WILL BE TAKEN

If you are sick send for the Registrar.
If you have to be away register before you go.
