Woman's Committee for
Twelfth Federal Reserve
District to Form an
Organization
BY MRS. A. S. BALDWIN
Chairman Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee, Twelfth Federal
Reserve DISTRICT

Now that we are actively in the war
and our men are in the front line
trenches; are being killed; are being
gassed; are being MANNED for life, n
would seem that every woman in the
land should be In the front ranks OF
tho civilian workers to help the men
win tho war.
Each OF US has her part to play,
however small II may be. and whether
II bo great or small II is OF importance
that each shall perform her part to
the utmost OF her ability.
Some can buy Liberty Bonds. some
can influence others TO buy. Perhaps
some can only help by conserving the
use OF food and clothing and by econ.
omizlng In household expenditures,
thus llberating and augmentlng the
essentials which must be sent 'ovcr
there" for the use OF our army and
for the destitute civilian population Of
our allies.
In whatever way each woman Of
this Twelfth Federal Reserve District
can help. lot her do her utmost that
We who are farthost from tho front
may sustain our part OF the struggle.

Message of United States
Senator McNary to Peo-
pie of Oregon

Money is needed 20 support and

chase by the American people OF
Liberty Bonds will supply the
funds. Much Of the money here
tofore obtained by the government
through the sale Of Liberty Bonds
10 lts citizens hss been expended
In the preparation Of war. Now
our resources and our savings must
be devoted TO a considerable es-
tent In providing for the safety,
comfort and assistance Of our
heroes on European bsttlefields.
Three thousand miles OF ocean In
tervene and this long lane must be
made safe for our soldiers. ships
we must have In ever Increasing
numbers. Without tonnage the full
measure Of our elaborate and MILL
tary relief organizations must re-
main imperative. Without money
We cannot build the ships; without
the ships we cannot win the war.
With sadness we anticipate the re.
turn OF thousands OF our soldiers
wounded and crippled who must be
rohabilltsted or made capable
through vocational education for
self support. General hospitals In
which physical roeonstruetlon work
and vocational training can be un.
dertaken must be constructed.
This requires money. A great
army 10 going forward TO face the
fire OF battle and American dollars
will be forthcoming for their wei.

In February each year there Is a
birthday celebration in honor Of all lit
tie Japanese girls. To call this cele-
bration doll festival" would not be
n misnomer, for it Is then that every
girl receives dolls from all Of her rela-
tlves and friends. It is then, too, says
the Galveston Tribune. that the mother
allows her little girls to feast their
eyes upon dolls that have been in the
family for many generations. There
are no birthday poles put up for the
little girls, but they get many gifts and
"oodles' Of things to eat. When the
birthday celebration comes to a close,
all Of tho best dolls little girl gets
