TO THE WOMEN OF UNION

June IS, 1918.
America has a war to fight which
will tax all of her energies and re-
sources-her man power, her woman
power. And it behooves us to check
up our thinking how soon will it end.
get busy and end it by whipping Ger
many.
Every woman, every man, every
child is needed in this fight; there is
much work for every one of us. 1t
we have not found our places, lets do
so at once.
The Woman's Committee National
Council of Defense represents all wo-
men organized for war work.
There is much Importance, both to
the government and to the individual
woman, in the working together of the
Woman's Committee with it's State.
county and local divisions, and with
the women of the rural, city and home
demonstrations service of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State colleges of agriculture.
The women of the home demonstra
ton service are trained in the produc
ton, use and conservation of food. and
the housewives may be sure of get
ting first-hand information as to
what to do about foods in wartime
and how to do it. If food is to win
the war, lets have our share in the
victory.
| advise you all to get together
with your home demonstration agents
on this subject.
Another way in which we may all
get into war service is through the
community councils. Use your school
houses as centers of operation.
The community councils afford the
means of bringing together the men
and women workers in community ac-
tivities where heretofore they have
been too much separated. Men
and women who cannot go to the
front and take part in the actual COM
bat form the home guard and should
work together
This struggle calls for workers, |
not shirkers. Organize your COM
munities at the school houses, call in
the men and women and children of
the community and in every call the
government sends out, get together
your forces and work together
through your Womans Division Ma
tional Council of Defense until the
drive is ended. This is the way to
keep in touch with your government
and strengthen the fighting line cover
there"
I fell sure the women of Union
County will do this. The government
has officially appointed the Woman's
Committee as the clearing house for
: Smen's war work and the Woman's
Committee is asking all women's or
'ganizations to work together harmon
iously and efficiently.
Coordination, Cooperation and
Conservation are the three most pop
ular words in the English language
today and the women Of America are
expected to think, preach, practice
and live them.
Let us put aside every little per-
sonal feeling or anything that tends
to dampen our ardor and fight to-
gether till we win. AS yet very few
Of us have made many sacrifices. We
hardly know what it means. In this
second year of this war let us learn
the lesson. Let US strengthen our
forces. Let nothing divide us in this
crucial moment.
The Woman's Committee National
Council of Defense is the authorized
governmental channel through which
all women's war work must flow. We
have our great government behind us
with the Man Of the Hour, Woodrow
Wilson, as commander in chief of the
armies. Let nothing daunt US. Get
together, fight together, and the end
will soon be in sight-the victory for
freedom and permanent peace"
