Previous to the opening of the cam

ing her plans to the conference she
emphasized the fact that the woman
hood of Newberry county is waking
up to, the call for service. Her re-
port ended with this appeal:
America needs women to match
her mountains,
America needs women to match her
plains.
Women with victory in their purposes
And Liberty loan in their brains"

the world that,

her mountains,
Newberry county has women to match
her plains,
Women with victory in their pupose
And Liberty loan in their brains.
Secretary McAdoo said that the wo-
men have put their souls and their III
fluence in this work and are making
the men go forward, because there is
no greater moving impulse on eartn
than women. He says, 81 am proud
to he in full and equal partnership
with the women of America in this
great task. Men and women are
equal partners in this great enter
prise of civilization and liberty i'm
periled now by the. German hordes."
