DON'T FAIL TO REGISTER

A communication was sent out last
week by the Missouri Division of the
Women's Committee of the Council of
National Defense to the president of
each club or other organization of
women in the State, asking them to
send notices to the members of her
organization, to call attention to Reg
istration Day, July 28th, when the wo-
men will register themselves for the
service they can best perform in case
the mon of the, nation be summoned in
Its defense, and to sign the Hoover
Pledge to help conserve the food pro-
ducts of the State and Nation. In this
way it is expected to bring registra-
ton day more directly before the wo-
men of Missouri.
There are, according to the re-
searches of the National Defense
! Council, 156 occupations in the Unit
ed States in which women can he used
in case of need. They are divided bv
the Council into the following groups:
Agricultural, domestic, clerical, indi-
vidual, professional, public service, So
cial service and Red Cross and allied
relief.
The registration cards to be signed
in the enrolment provide for both
paid and volunteer service, so that no
woman, whatever her state of life or
her financial position, need fear that
she will not be able to render service
to her country along the lines for
which she is best fitted through, ply
slque, education or natural inclination.
Every woman residing in Missouri
who has the welfare of her country at
heart, is expected to enroll herself in
these registrations, that of the Hoover
Food Conservation Pledge as well as
the service enrolment. The service
registration signifies her willingness,
should the times demand it, to help
her country along the lines best suit
ed to her capabilities, while the Hoov-
er Pledge binds her to fight waste in
Kitchen and pantry and help President
Wilson and Food Administrator Her
bert G. Hoover carry out the food con-
servation policy that they are con-
WINGED stands only little below the
armed strength of the Nation in the
defense of the United States from the
enemy.
While there is no stipulated fee in
connection with the registration, fee
boxes will be found at each registra-
ton booth so that each woman who
signs the enrolment may, should she
SO desire, make voluntary offering
according to her means, from one cent
upward, to the cause. The money thus
obtained will be used to help defray
expenses of the Missouri branch Of
the Women's Defense Committee.
The st. Louis Board of Education
last week set precedent to the State
by offering the use of st. Louis public
schools as stations for the registra-
ton.
