On June 1, according to the plans of proprietors' of local barber shops, It will pass Into oblivion, and the two blt facial haircut will take its place. AU other work of the tonsorlal artists will remain at,-tho present rate. While the new quotation has not yot gone into effect, Bend barbers are practically agreed that an ad vance Is necessary to keep pace with increasing wages and supplies of all kinds. Proprietors of local shops will meet this eveuing with their employes, and the matter will be finally decided on. An increase in guarantees for the men nnd shorter hours will probably by allowed by the employers', Changes In hours contemplated will close all shops at 8 o'clock at night on all evenings excepting Snturdny, when the clos ing hour will be 10. Half holidays will bo allowed, according to pres ont plans, when such holidays come on Snturdays, and full time off for Holidays at all other times In the week, Tho change In tho shnvo is not so radical as it seonis, harbors explain, for the 25 cents will Include a neck shave, formerly Incurring a separate charge of five cents.

The War Department made the fol lowing announcement regarding the registration of citizens liable to draft. : "The War Department wishes to Impress upon the people that there is only one day for registration. ;A11 males between the designated ages must register on the day set.- The fact that five days were allowed tor the placing ot the necessary blanks In tho hands ot the registers appears to have misled some headline writ ers. One day only the day fixed in the President's proclamation will be devoted to registration. "The War Department Is grati fied by the spontaneous offers ot uncompensated assistance in carry ing out the work of registration. "One father in offering to serve ns registrar, writes, 'I have two sons in the guard and one in the regular army, but I want to do my little bit.' This is typical ot hundreds of let tors. All such offers properly should be made to the governors, who are the heads ot registration machinery In their respective states. v , "It should be clearly understood that no male resident of the United Stutcs between the designated ages Is excepted from registration unless he Is already In the military or naval service of the United States; that Is, a member of the regular army or navy, tho marine corps, coast guard service or that part ot the national guard now actually In the federal service. Registration is distinct from selective service. Registration Is a ADAMS BOOSTS STATE BONDS ATTACKS OPPONENTS OF ISSUE.

"It is useless to ask the registrars to excuse anyone from registration. Te registrar has no such powers. No one can suspend the law requiring all to register.

Democracy Is its essence. No person can absent himself, nor can the well-to-do man hire another to represent him on the occasion.

"Not only has the Individual cit- izeury ui me country maae a remans able response to the registration call, but the states, through their official heads, have Indicated such i.eu.1 that there is great rivalry among some of the commonwealths for the honor ot making the first complete registra tion returns. "Many questions are asked ..dally at the War Department concerning the registration of traveling men. and other absentees.
