"Since war began women realizze
that suffrage, always right, has
now became a necessary duty, to
support the battle for democracy
which is being fought by our men
inthe trenches. women must have

are asking for the vote. If Ameri-

the end is near. Aristocracy is the

Why Register?

Because: In England, in the
first two years of the war, ever one
million women were needed to re-
place men in industrial positions,
making over three million engaged
in gainful occupations.
Because: In the same length of
time, tremendous force of volun-
teers was needed to cook for the
workers, to care for their children
during the dav, and to take their
places in the factories at week-ends.
that the work might go on and the
workers have one day of rest.
Because: The United States,
which has already taken q million
men out of industrial, professional
and civic life and with succeeding
drafts will take millions more, will
have similar emergencies to meet,
and when they come the govern
ment needs to have q record of
women willing to do the work re-
quired, either as paid or volunteer
workers.
Because: All charitable agencies
need large force of volunteer
workers to help with the big in
crease in relief, investigative and
protective work arising from war
conditions.
Because: If you have any train
ed ability, there is q place you
could be used NOW for the benefit
Of your community.
Because: If you have even half
q day a week to spare. there is q
bit Of work calling to you now.
Because: Our bcys are fighting
for US in the trenches. and we
should fight for them at home.
Because: This is q Government
Census, and whether or not you
are able to offer or perform any
service. 1T SHOULD INCLUDE
YOU.
This is the first time that the
Federal Government has ever asked
the women of the land to register.
and it is to be hoped that the wom-
en- will respond to this call in these
trying times. Our men have been
and are doing splendid work in the
council Of defense, and no doubt
the women will respond just as
nobly.
