How does the liberty ond work stand

"Of the various phases of women's

ut will be very long before the
women of America have demands upon
them as exacting as have the women
abroad. and for that reason we must
make the most of those opportunities
which are offered US to be of service.
The members Of our committee have
constant queries as to what women
can do for floating the bond issues, as
the general feeling is that women have
not money to Unrest the same as men
have This is. of course, true, but in
the first bond issue third of the
bonds were subscribed by women, not
only by rich women, but by wives of
farmers and small salaried men all

selves to buy bond on the INSTALL.

of their weekly savings. Some of these
second issues have not yet saved
enough to start on the third loan, so
that our work is somewhat harder than
before. This simply means that the
effort must be made stronger.
"If Mr.. Hoover's suggestions for food
are observed, two highly
important things can be accomplished.
First and foremost. the food supply of
the world will be increased. In the
second place, il we as nation cease TO
waste what would feed millions of
starving people In the war zone. it
