WOMEN'S DUTY IN WAR
Subject Ably Handled by
Mrs. Hooper to Packed
Houses Last Week in Villas
County.

Mrs. Ben Hooper's subject of
"Women's Duties in War" as handled
by her last week in Eagle River, Win
chester, Vinegar, Phelps, to large and
thoroughly appreoiative audiences of
women, was of that quality which
convinced her hearers that women of
the United States are of the greatest
need in winning this war for democ-
racy, and furthermore showed them
that instead of the men doing it all,
they themselves are doing yeoman
labor for the boys at the front.
She showed them that with their
mother love fashioned into so many
different methods of love for the boy
fighting, like that Of Red Cross work,
work in itself which is doing more
for those at the front in time of need
than anything else; her labors in food
conservation, cutting off the corners
here and there; in fact the getting to-
gether spirit of all women in their
love labors, in fact the hundred and
one little touches she has given freely
to uphold the courage of the fighters,
letting them know that mother and
the girls are behind them-a these
have done far more good than it is
able to estimate.
Mrs. Hooper is an able and convin.
cling speaker, and as her audiences
were comprised of the women of Villas
county, she was able to plainly state
the real reasons why the women of
America are doing more for the boys
than the men. She certainly gave
credit where it rightfully belonged.

neighbors, to enjoy all the secur'
itv of life and most of the pleas
ures and the economic privileges
of peace times while other men,
who had to put aside all these
things, are fighting our battles
for us on the sacred soil of France
and on the high seas.
Our new opportunity to serve
comes as q result of designating
June % as a National War Saw
ings Day, a day on which all
men, women and all children of
sufficient years to appreciate
the days significance are called
upon to pledge themselves to
save to the utmost of their abil-
ity and to conserve all possible
labor and machinery for the Gov
eminent, and to buy War Saw
lngs Stamps with their savings.
Our part is to do everything pos
slble to make this day stand out
among the great days of this
period of the war.
