selection by Mrs. E. L. Boehm, who re-
sponded to an encore. Then followed
a number of short talks appropriate

fore the club. Her subject was Lib
erty Bonds and the Different Phases
of WOmen's Work in the War" Her
talk was clear, concise and instruc-
tive. She urged the necessity of
women's work, that it must be CON
slant while the war lasts; that women
must give their time, strength and
money and make great sacrifices. She
urged the buying of Liberty Bonds and
of Thrift Stamps; the conservation of
food, especially of wheat flour and
sugar. She said that women were
doing noble work but there was
more to do and her inspiring talk will
surely lead her listeners on to greater
efforts. Mrs. Mariner is state chair
