For example, a design might be thus described: Uncle Sam at the dinner table carves roast beef; Madam Colombia at the other end of the table cuts a wheat loaf; the children at the table, North, East, South, West, sit expectantly, while four other children, Italy, France, England and Belgium look gravely on.

Utah Power & Light. - - Logan, Utah GET YOUR JOB PRINTING DONE AJ THIS OFFICE X Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip of New York City, treasurer of the National Womans Liberty Loan Committee, is urging upon the women of America' definite and consistent war service. In a recent interview she said: American women must quit being parasites and learn to give instead of always - taking, yu hour or two a few days a week is not enough for any woman to give her country. We must give a full business day, an day every day of the week if we are to count for anything while the war lasts. Mrs. Vanderlip outlined the splendid work which has been done by the women of Great Britain and France and congratulated American women on having as their allies in their new work such women. If we ever have another war, said Mrs. Vanderlip', women will hi In the trenches. What do the pacifists mean when they want us to stop before our present job is done? There is but one standard for measuring a woman in this new day of war. That is dependability. The woman who can be depended upon is the one we want, The one who cannot be counted upon is the one who will be dropped forever. A professional spirit is the need of American women, who have been parasitic for too long. We must stop taking and give. Eight hours a day is a short day for this great wora we have before us. Two or three hours a day to the Red Cross is not enough for any woman to give as her war work., We must get as our personal point of view the realization that we cannot have our cake and eat it too. We must ask ourselves, iu this war of, equipment rather than men, who must go without if we have the things we have been accustomed to. Business and pleasure cannot go on as usual if we are successfully to conduct this tremendous new business of war. We have forgotten, when we are buying new clothes and eating the wheat and sweets that we want and riding in our motor cars, that we are hampering the Government. We are standing in the way of the Governments business which is war. When you want' to spend a dollar for candy or unnecessary clothes (and we buy more clothes than we need because of pride) count that dollar as a traitor dollar. If you save that dollar and invest it with the Government you are serving the Government doubly, for you are aiding in financing the war and you are releasing the labor and materials needed for the unnecessaries which you have demanded formerly. We are fighting an enemy that is far from beaten. It has won everything it started out after. Its dream of Mittel Europa is realized now. Only a military victory can save democracy. We must sacrifice ourselves as we have sacrificed our, men folks. We must learn to hate that we may effectively kill the evil thing that is ruining not only the bodies but the souls of its people and threatens the rest of the werli , OPTOMETRIST and OPTICIAN Office over t , The March report of the Red Cross Department of Military Affairs Tn France, just received at National Headquarters, indicates the large de- - vtdopment .of the Red Cross canteen service back of the American Front. A network of thirty canteens for our troops has been established three miles in the rear of the front line trenches.
