There is much work to be done for the

essential industries that will be affected soon
by the Federal fuel restrictions to enroll at

Summer already is half over winter is
approaching and the supplies must be avail
able for our men in France when cold weather
comes. Women should think Of our men in
France when cold weather comes. Women
should think twice before taking a vacation
this summer: they should think about the
dangers that beset their fathers. brothers,
sons and husbands in the trenches before
they plan their own recreation and rest
and these dangers will be increased unless
the women at home work now and prepare
winter supplies
I'VE appeal particularly to women who
