these organizations. The Central
City grade school has over five hun

Mrs. Glanville reported that of all
the women in this county only 221
signed for some war service. This
is not in keeping with the loyal spir-
lit shone in little Gilpin. The mere
fact that OUR government ASKS us
to do this thing should be sufficient
reason for our registering.
If there are any registation cards
not returned, will you not kindly
send them to Mrs. VIM. Glanville
either by person or by mail?
The Garden committee report was
given. The subject of Food Produc-
tion is an important one. The COM

to have a County Fair to .exhibit
