Won1sn's Societies

Chairman Scott in introducing Mrs.
Winona Evans Reeves, who spoke as
a representative of the women's or
CARNATIONS, said:
In all previous wars, it has been
said that the three essentials for
winning are men, guns and nurses.
Another element has entered into
this war and it is a very large fac
tor. We have been told by our be-
loved president that 1t is very neces-
sary to conserve the food supply and
the women have signed pledges to
do that, that you may have plenty,
and it gives me great pleasure to in
troduce to you at this time, Mrs.
Reeves who will explain what has
been done along that line"
Mrs. Reeves spoke as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Friends: l
have been asked to speak very
briefly for the women OF this city
and to express our appreciation of
the service which these young men
are about to give to our common
country, and to say to them that we
honor that service and recognize
that it is given for us who remain
at home. The women are always
deeply interested in what their men
do, and with every man who goes
to war, at least one woman goes in
heart. This war is most vital in its
interest to women, not only because
millions of our men are registered
in it, but because it is war against
little children.
Every fiber of woman,s heart
responds to the cry of child.
1--WE go about in this land as we
wish, by day and by night, fearless
and safe. We send our children to
school secure in the knowledge that
they will return in safety at the
close of the days session. Women
and children are not going about in
France and Belgium in that safety
and even in England the lives of
little children have been taken. The
horrors of an invading army such as
crossed Belgium is unthinkable
