WoMEN's PART IN BOND CAMPAIGN

Now that the bond issue has been
vastly versubscribed. let us recall
that the women Of the country were
dhgent and tirelcss to assist In the
success of the campaign. All over
this broad land the good women never
grew weary in their patient and per-
sistent efforts Especially was this
true in Virginia Week after week
their activities were conspicuous on
every side. No one knows exactly. or
ever will know, what part Of vir-
ginia's work was done by the women
Not only through active outside eff
fort was their splendid part per-
formed, but b. their quiet and con-
slant influence at home and among
friends much OF the great accomplish
ment may be traced
In few cases was she personally
able 10 buy bonds. but millions OF dol
lars Of bonds We're bought for her. and
they were bought for her because the
fact made her happy, and because
she occupies that beautiful status in
the world that inspires man to do his
best in all that is worth while. Who
can today estimate the vast sums OF
money that went into liberty bon ds
for the sake OF some dear one that
never otherwise would have been ex-
pended?
suppos. too, we could have the
chance OF comparing the working
girl with the Young single man as to
the number of bonds purchased in
each case. 1t is entirely probable that
tho percentage would favor the girl.

Ten Kinds of Fur Bearers.

There is no country in the world ex-

kinds of fur bearing animals, includ-
ing the otter and the Chinchila. Il
there is no one in the country who can

the manufacture of furs, the estab-

where exporters could learn the true
value of their wares and receive a
price commensurate e with their real
worth, would seem advisa Bile.
