war conditions on the Mexican border,
backed by her wonderful personality,
gave the early history of the govern

| Miss Hinman confronted the women
with their plain duty as war time pa
triots, giving the women the entire
credit for whatever of civilization has
been accomplished in the history of
the world. Shall women now avoid
duties, and be less mindful of their
stewardship of the world IS standards of
morality and civilization? The speaker
closed by extending an invitation to
Kenosha women to every class and
walk of life to join in the work and
meet with her in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms next Tuesday at ten

very much to have the commission IS
scheme put into effect by women Of Kc-
noshaa, not fostered by any particular
club, organization or individuals. All
women are invited to assist. The gov
