WomeR's War Work

! ! w VsttCn - w Oh w VI n |
Patriotic sentiment runs high
/ these days and not a small amount
| of it comes from the young folk Of
| the country. The following is d
| clever little jingle, the work Of
| Eleanor Marie Engeldrum. the IL
! year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
| s. j. Engeldrum. 215 w. Navarro:
OUR BIT.
We cannot fight with the khaki
boys,
| As we are quite too small.
! But we can do our DIT each day.
In needing HoOver's call.
| We must save our meat and save
our wheat.
For the soldiers over there,
And sew and plant and dig and
rake.
And give our gardens care.
] Our pennies we must also save.
And Thrift stamps we must buy.
| For Uncle Sam needs a lot of cash,
And help him we must try.
But the very best thing that we can
do.
For our soldiers over there.
Is while we work or while we play,
To breathe for them a prayer.
Few people here in St Joseph
county realize that from their midst
has gone out one OF the leading
war workers of the day. She is the
chairman of the woman's section OF
the state council of defense-Mrs.
Ann Studebaker Carlisle. and the
manner in which she has directed
womans work throughout the state
has been most remarkable.
Mrs. Carlisle has not only direct
| ed the activities of the various de-
! Tense councils but has gone about
| the state looking after il once IL was
started. Her contribution 10 the In
diana Bulletin, the weekly pubIica-
ton OF the state council, is always
a helpful one and the assistance that
she gave to the recent child welfare
| conference held in indianapolis. not
| to speak of her active interest in
| that movement is worthy of great
attention.
J Hers is not only a volunteer SER
vice but she has given her entire
time and attention 10 IL. Indiana Is
indeed fortunate to have such a ca
pable woman at the head of the
womens war work. and st. Joseph
county can be doubly proud. for the
/ Carlisle house could run triple ser
vice flag, for Miss Katharine and
! WoOdson Carlisle are in the service
| in France.
/ Speaking Of women in war service
/ brings 10 mind that faithful group
who have been hard at IT" since
the second week in April over at
registration headquarters for war
| service. II would not be possible
TO say here in this column all tho
! appreciative things that should be
said of them but let II suffice for
/ now 10 say that they are indeed
good soldiers" and patriotic Amer
| lean women, every one. Some later
/ day there will be a story, a very
| special one about their work. and
| their names will certainly 20 down
/ in the history of ST. Joseph county's
( part in the great world war.
| The Patriotic league girls are into
/ their military drill and the first
/ thing we know there'u be a mighty
| army OF lasses going about town.
