Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-06-08

The man power of our country is
to be registered next Tuesday. All
should be responsible for service and
the service which they can do. The
British and French Commissions came
here that we might profit by the mis-
takes that they had made. By regis
tration the power of the country can
be placed where it will be most eff
cient. The surgeon, the chemist, the
engineer each has only one life in the
lines. The individual does not al
ways realize where his services are
most valuable; the government should
select.
The woman power: Germany had
a complete registration, of her woman
power before the war, she knew just
where she could find a group of wom-
en- to fill certain place when the
emergency came. She was ready!
This National League for Woman's
Service is a nation wide movement to
classify our woman power. Women
must now put time and energy into
service which they have been putting
into club and social affairs and reg
ister for the particular work they can
do. If you register for the canteen
and a call comes to prepare a meal
for 1000 soldiers who are to pass
through in a few hours, your help
will be needed. It will be necessary
to have some one to buy the food know
what large kitchens are available and
what women can be called on to do
the cooking.
If YOU register for the motor work
you may be called on to carry the
food when prepared to. the point
where the soldiers are stationed. In
New York City 145 hours of actual
shop service is required to joinDthe
motor corps, for there is no time to
send for a garage man in time OF
trouble.
The social side of the soldiers life
must be looked after and the families
of those who go to the war. New
York and Washington are deficient in
people for expert clerical service. The
National League blanks are a care
full study of what the women in Eng
land have done and what we can do
1t is women's service along womens
lines that is needed now. The great
problem of the present is the food
problem, there is an actual shortage
of food; crops have not been up to the
average in the last two years; we
must not only feed ourselves but oul
allies. Reserves have been practically
exhausted: The submariens cause
much loss and much food has beer
boarded. Women of the country have
bought that which they did not neeC

Whether the speculator buys 5000 bar
rels of sugar or 5000 people each buy
one barrel of sugar, that much sugar
has been taken out of circulation
when you. hoard for year, you raise
the price of sugar on yourself.
The Allies do not want laces, silks
flowers ETC. these have been prepar.

You are putting the manufacturers
and all the employees out of business
let there be economy in food instead
of economy in frills be the watch
word.

Rev. FIR. T. F. Kennedy of st. Cas-
par's Catholic church, emphasized the
spirit of love and charity, devotion
and self sacrifice. Loyalty and ALE
glance are the two words of the hour
We are not now seeking revenge bu
seeking rights. 1t is not for US tt
hate but for us to sympathize ant
love. Be loyal, do what you can; th'
soldier is giving 100 per cent. can WI
not give 100 per cent. of our surplus
