death came as Il great relief to William

months spent in Pennsylvania with
the hope that it might prove a benefit
to his health. Shortly after his return
he was confined to bis bed gradually
and perceptably growing weaker as
the weeks and days went by. He has
been seriously ailing for about eighteen
months, and during the last few weeks
the entire alimentary canal including
the esOphasus became so paralyzed
that it had no action and became very
difficult and painful for him to take
either food on medicine. He passed
away at the home of his sister, Mrs.
A. e. Aleman Saturday morning just
after midnight, where he had been
cared for since he was removed from
Cornelius, who was obliged to go to
Sioux City hospital for an operation
where she is now confined slowly re-

My Dear Madame President:

u.
Qulckened into new activity by the
practical invasion of our own shores,
and realizing as never before the
absolute necessity for united effort on
the part of every woman of America
] am taking the liberty of sending this
appeal ii you, realizing that the
strongest force we have today is the
organized womanhood of the country.
Naturally, this is the time of least
club activity but the hated enemy is
taking no vacations, and we can not
let up on our work so long as it is
possible for any agency to be used in
the prosecution Of our defensive line
The wheat situation is the most Sc
rious food problem that faces the al
lied world today, and as Mr.. Hoover
says: Wheat has become a symbol
OF life and also a test of our patriot
ism" Shall we women of America
fail in this that is asked of us. when
1t is such little thing in comparison
with all the tremendous sacrifices
which the women of the allied coun-
tries are making? If we are to reap
the rewards that come from having
had definite part in freedoms
Growing Hour" and if we are to
have the "Sanctifcations of Sacrifice, :"
there must be united will to win and
high resolve that the acid test will
be put upon every activity Of ours,
will it help in the winning Of the war?
To this end, will you cooperate
with the county chairman of food
conservation and the chairman Of the
womans committee, in districting the
county so that if there is need of
quick action in getting any informa-
ton to the women of the country, or
there is need for any concerted help
the machinery will be there and 1t
will be no burden upon any one WON
an? The conservation chairman will
give all the information necessary,
and will be grateful for any HELM that
you may be able to give. Our gen.
eral federation chairman has decided
that one of the best lines of civic ac
tlvlty that we can take up now, is the
study of the war, its causes, probable
results and definite bearing upon the
civic life of the world.
II we are to have definite part in
the creation of a new world there
must be definite knowledge and I'M
derstanding of conditions.
Another thing which is engaging
the attention of civic workers all over
the country, is the censorship and
supervision of moving pictures, and
we are asked to begin work for legis
lation that will regulate censorship
so that the great lessons taught by
the medium of the moving pictures
may be lessons that will elevate the
standards of society rather than de.
grade and vitiate.
VIII you bring this to the attention
of your club women so that thought
may precede emotion" and we be
able to act wisely along all these
lines?
With best wishes and feeling sure
of your heartiest cooperation, and as
surfing you of my desire to be of any
help in the department,
Believe me, sincerely yours,
