ample time and opportunity for
every woman, no matter what nar
profession maybe, to cast hor vote
for the children of Ardmora.
Sometime during the day the
busy housewife will find the few
minutes to leave her duties: the
business woman can well attend to
this allimportant matter before
office hours; ana those whose soc.
ial demands are heavy will also
take the time to go to their res

vote for these bonds.
1t is Of the greatest importance
that the vote bee cast; that every
