Normal are busy evenings now help
ing Miss Meadows, stenographer for
the Local Board, index the Aoccupa-
tional cards" which are made up
from the questionnaires. They have
already completed over 800 Of the 615

the capacity Of Ill registered men for
special work, and when the entire list
Of ten million men Of the United
States between ages Of 21 and 81 Is
compiled the government can ut once
put . finger on any number Of men
needed for special duty. For instance
q thousand carpenters are needed
here, or . hundred thousand skilled
in farm lAbor at another crisis. A
large number Of lumbermen are need
ed near one camp, or men capable Of
running m auto must be quickly
gathered from . regiment 1t the
front, etc. etc, We only begin to
dimly realize the tremendous job
ahead Of us, and can now have some
appreciation Of the task It means to
organize q nation for war, - Germany
has been doing for hfty years while

CONTEST.
Organization Being Perfected IN Thsrs
Systematic Manner Thra Gunnissa
County; Two Squads In Charge Of
Work.

Mrs. T. OLeary, county chairman,
has this week received the registration
cards for the Women's War Census.
The women are asked to register for
what they are doing now, and for what
they, have been trained to do. The fol-
lowing is an excerpt from the letter
of instruction to the chairman: "The
registration is patriotic duty, and
signifies that we are ready to render
some service either at home or else
where while our country is at war.
Yet, women's signing up does not
bind them for work nor will they be
drafted into service because of reg
istering. Essential Industries are
calling for workers and women who
are not needed in their homes can
fill many places now occupied by men.
1t is wrong to be idle today. We must
work in some useful capacity and give
the fighting men chance to win the
war"
In Gunnison county the work Of
registering is in the hands of two
squads. The County High School
Girls Auxiliary to the Red Cross with
Mrs. X. Morrison rs captain will hand
le the work in Gunnison; and the Coun-
try Life club under the directorship Of
Miss Mary Hughes will have charge Of
the work elsewhere throughout the
county. They are now busily engaged
in appointing chairmen In each school
district through whom they expect to
register every woman In that district.
Both groups are very enthusiastic in
the undertaking Of this patriotic SER
vice, and as in former registratioA
campaigns we bespcak . very nearly,
