RULES-JUNE 5
War Censua Bureau, Adjutant Goner.
al'a Office, Portland, Oregon.
PORTLAND, Ore., June 2. 1817
Oregon has reason to feel proud of
Its patriotic newspapers.
Because of the enthusiastic coop
eration of the newspapers of the state,
Governor Withycombe aald today, he
believes the people of Oregon are bet
ter informed aa to their duties In the
coming War Census, next Tuesday,
June 5, than tboae of probably aay
other state.
Official news letters containing in-
atructlona and information about the
War Censua have without exception
received generous space from the atate
press.
Tbe task of educating the people of
the atate to their War Census dutiea
looked at flrat like a very difficult
undertaking, but through the aid of
the press it haa proved easy.
Probably no other matter of gen
eral Interest haa over received taai
amount of publicity in Oregon that
haa been given detalla of the War
Census.
The result la that today there are
mighty few persona la Oregon who
do not, know that:
War Censua Day la next Tueaday,
June 5.
Every male resident who haa paaaod
hia 81st birthday and baa not paaaed
hla Slat birthday on June 5 must

service do not exempt from register
ing. Even tbe alck and tbe crippled

Registration booths will be open
from 7 o'clock a. m. to o'clock p. m.
Of approximately 100,000 men la
Oregon eatiraated to be between the

there may be a few ao unpatriotic aa to
