WHAT CAN | DO TO
serve MY COUNTRY?"
WonIan's War Census 10 BE Taken
Here Next Monday at Public III.
brnry-Oyer 1000 Women
Have Alrcady Registered
In MaysyllIe md Ma.
son County.

On next Monday, February 4, the
opportunity will be given the women
OF Maysvllle and Mason county to reg
lister In the w0men's war census,
which Is being taken at the request
Of the Federal Government by the
Woman's Committee Of the Council Of
National Defense. The first two reg
istratlon days have brought a regis
tration OF nearly one thousand Of
Maysville and Mason county repre-
sentative women. II Is hoped that in
the course Of three months all Of Ma
son county and Maysvilles women
will have registered as loyal Ameri-
cans and good citizens.
Registration for women means three
things. First, an opportunity for wo-
men to express their loyalty and flde-
lity to the movement of the United
States. Secondly, means BY which
the Government can know how many
Of its women are engaged In differ
ent and various persuits, occupations
and industries, can take stock Of its
women power. Thirdly. II offers an
opportunity for women to express
their willingness and desire to per-
! form various sorts of work, either as
paid employees or volunteer workers.
The Government Of the United
States is now calling for more wo-
men who will take nurses training
and serve as trained nurses during
the war. The Government is calling
for young women who will serve their
country as stenographers, typists and
in other forms of clerical work. The
| Government also within a few weeks
will issue call to its college girls
and high school girls asking for
those who are willing to help with
the raising of garden stuff and truck
ratch farming that the food supply OF
the country may be kept up to the
standard of sufliciency. While our
young men have and are Offering
their lives in the cause of freedom
and liberty, and to do away with
oppression and inhumanty upon this
earth; every woman should take stock
Of her powers and find some way IN
which she too can offer service to her
country in the cause of freedom in a
war which means great deal more
to the women and children than to
! the men. Offer service for an hour
day if you can not do mere. Type
writing, knitting, sewing. gardening
nursing, canning.
The next registration will be held
on Monday, February 4, at the Public
Library. The fact that stores and the
industries are closed on that day
makes an opportunity for all business
and professional women to register as
willing to do what they can in the
service Of their country. Help Win
, the War With Germany"

Bringing messages which paint
Happiness of cooling dove
Lincoln, who by practice taught
Destiny itself to sway,
Comes again to public thought

Who was never known to shirk
Any task the country had,
Grants another day from work.
