vice to Cooperate With That
OF Department of Labor.
New York state has followed the
lead Of the department Of labor
which recently established a women
in industry service, directed by
women. In New York a similar di-
vision has been formed as a part OF
the state industrial commission,
with Miss Nellie Swartz as its chief
The National Woman's Trade IN
ion league was largely instrumental
in forming the service esta blished
by the federal government. and the
WOman's Trade Union league OF
New York and the Consumers
league were active along the same
lines in New York.
Miss Swartz is a native OF Ash
land. O.. "a graduate of Wells col
years was secretary Of the Con-
sumers' league Of New York. II Is
her aim to assist the organization
formed by the department Of labor

Mrs. Raymond Robins, president or
the National Women's Trade Union
league. This action is equally sig
niflcant from the national point of
view. with the establishing OF the
women in industry service in the

and New YOrk's state leadership in
establishing the women's bureau. II
becomes inevita BILE that every state
will fall in line and give equal pro-
lection to its women workers.
The industrial commission was
far-siShted not only seeing the
need OF such a bureau. but also
recognizing that the achievement
OF such a bureau was dependent on
the choice OF a woman as chief-a

Some Member.

A War Savings Society was or.
ganized here last Thursday afternoon

organizations. The various clubs and
lodges were represented and the society
was organized with Allyn Fuller as
president and G. W. Parsons as secre-
tary.
JThie society does not take the place
of the War Savings Committee which
was formed some time ago, but is an
organization within that organization.
It is formed for the one purpose OF
creating a wider interest in war saw.
ings stamps and certificates. &.
After organizing, w. S. Smart ex-
planned the object of the campaign fol-
the sale of Thrift stamps, the conser-
walton of food and the necessity of the
elimination of all personal expenses.
We must conserve that we may not be
consumers of nonessentials; work that
we may not bid against the govern
ment for labor, save that we may loaH
credit to our government, said Mr..
Smart.

burden.
Now, conditions being as they are.
does it lie within the heart of the
American people to preserve and hold
to every convenience of our life at the
expenses of adding an additional bur

Is the exact question that is involved
in our substitution of other cereals in
place of wheat.
The women of France must be en-
abled to hold up the morale of the
French soldier until next spring. The
morale of the house decides the morale
of the soldier in the fighting line. We
can do this by giving TO them the
greatest possible freedom in their food

factor.

Located as we are three thousand miles
away from the actual firing line, it is
but natural that we of all the allies
should be most out of touch with the
actual fighting conditions in France.

interest to Us all as typical of what
our own soldiers are now meeting and
will be forced to meet in even greater
numbers.

being able to present such speaker in
the person of Sergeant d. j. McKenns

Canadian Infantry, was one of the
first Canadian boys to offer his services
to his Country in the Fall of 1914. He

front in France and fought through
such notable battles as Ypress and The

killing both stretcher bearers, and
throwing him completely out of the

wounds. This resulted in q years con.
