OF the farm work, and expect this
summer to drive a tractor, and do
as much of mans work as NV war
duties will permit. did not men,
ton farmers wives-I did say that
the farmers of the country (making
no mention of North Dakota) are not
following the rules Of conservation
as rapidly as the hotels, restaurants
and dining cars. This is shown by
statistics.) Where food is so abund-
ant as it is on farm the reason
is rot 50 apparent for saving. l am
urging in all my speeches that city
girls offer their services to tn. fam
ers' wives for the summer work, that
vil'oge women help the farmers wife
at canning and preserving tilne-and
that everything possible be done to
tighten and show an appreciation OF
the heavy burdens borne by the
farmers wife.
Must Readjust Selves
American housekeepers must re-
educate themselves, and run their
houses according to the methods
which their husbands employ in their
business. We are finding wealth in
our garbage pals, and treasure heaps
in our junk piles-we are learning
the making over habits Of our grand
mothers, and as this is to be a
clothes-less summer, we will dress
ourselves largely in camouaage. The
women OF the country are asked not
only to save the money, but raise it.
And they are asked to organize them
selves, and work in closest coopera-
ton with the men in the next liberty
loan. This means the farmers wife,
the bankers wife, the women clerks,
and all the patriotic women of our
nation. ..- ,... -.- 81. ...... 81
What Women Have Done
Mrs. McAdoo is the head of this
woman's organization, and in the last
liberty loan drive the women raised
one billion, one hundred million. The
women of this district, between -
and 20 million, and the women of
North Dakota one million, twenty
thousand five hundred These figures
prove that the women's part in the
campaign was well worth while. We
hope in the next campaign the won-
en- will even exceed these amounts, as
larger numbers will be working, and
they are more alive now to the I'M
portance OF their work, as represen-
