Committee, Twelfth Federal

Now that we are actively in the war
and our men are in the front line
trenches: are being killed: are being
gassed; are being maimed for life. II
would seem that every woman In the
land should be in the front ranks OF
the civilian workers to help the men
win the war.
Each OF us has her part to play,
however small It may be. and whether
II be great or small Il is OF importance
that each shall perform her part to
the utmost OF her ability.
Some can buy Liberty Bonds, some
can influence others TO buy. Perhaps
eome can only help BY conserving the
iuse OF food and clothing and by econ.

thus liberating and augmenting the
essentials which must be sent ''over

for the destitute civilian population OF
our allies.

the wearer as one who has performed

Not all can nght, not all can work
