JASPER WOMEN WILL ENLIST

WORK OF ENLISTING JASPER COUNTY WOMEN WILL BEGIN AT ONCE.

Two branches of Women’s Activities have already been launched in Rensselaer. The “Socks for Soldiers” section, the purpose of which is to knit wool socks for the Indiana soldiers, is well under way. Full investigation convinced the Cjpuncil of Defense in a most unmistakeable manner of the real importance of this work and the women representatives on the County Councils will be communicated with in this regard. This is also true in connection with the League for Women’s Service. The purpose of the latter organization will be to catalogue all the women of the state especially fitted for any service incident to the war. The drive for this work will begin in Jasper county Saturday, August 11th, and every woman in the county will be asked to help. Those who do not care to help will be listed and their names will be sent to the State Council of Defense. This is a most important matter and will appael to every loyal American woman. The essential points on the cards to fill out are as follows: 1. Social and Welfare. 2. Commissariat. 3. Agricultural. 4. Industrial. 6. Medical and Nursing. 6. Motor Driving. 7. General Service. 8. Office Work. <
