All Women
Should Register

Signing of the women's registra-
ton cards has not been as general in
Fargo as it should be, largely due to
carelessness and all women who have
not signed, indicating what service
they can give in the war, are urged
to remedy that neglect at once. The
time has come when every man,
woman and child must do his or her
part in winning the war, and this
matter is a very pleasant one.
Mrs. c. e. Nugent who is local
chairman for this work, hopes to
finish it up in the next few days
and anyone who has not signed a
card, or who has none in her possess
sion is requested to obtain the same
from Mrs Nugent. or her assistant,
Mrs. Elizabeth O'Neil, at their homes,
1907 North Broadway. and TIA Eighth
street south, respectively.
Mrs. Nugent is getting together
her local statistics as to such regis
tration, and expects to complete
their tabulation some time next week.
These registration cards are put
out by the Woman's division Of the
National League For Defense.
