SEPTEMBER 12 IS REGISTRATION DAY

President Wilson on Saturday signed the man power act, bringing all men in the United States from 18 to 45 years of age within the army draft and immediately afterward issued a proclamation fixing Thursday, Sept. 12, as registration day. On that day all men between the ages of 18 and 45 inclusive who have not already registered or who are not now in the military or naval service must register.

In a proclamation issued immediately after he signed the new man power bill authorizing extension of the 21-31 draft ages, the President called on the younger and older men to enroll on that day with local draft boards where they make their permanent homes.

STATE ROAD SOUTH BERNE.

Like a bolt from the blue came the report of the death of Harrison Barber, young son of Everck Barber, who died at the home last Friday after an illness of only a few days with appendicitis. An operation was performed by two Albany doctors, but it proved fatal, and he has gone to his reward in his early boyhood, having only reached his 17th birthday. He was very bright and of a cheerful nature, and his sudden death was a great shock, causing deep gloom in the neighborhood where he had made himself greatly beloved by both old and young.
