bin ois ode Tr om A nr ee qn - WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1918 5 NORTH SHORE WOMAN ON DEFENSE BOARD Mrs. Charles R. Smith of Wilmette to Represent District on Woman's Committee of Defense Society The American Defense society in widening the scope of its activities throughout the nation has appointed Mrs. Charles R. Smith of Wilmette as a member of the Woman's Nation- al Committee, to represent this district. In speaking of the society's aims and the contemplated campaign in this Village, Mrs. Smith in her first communication as the society's re- presentative, brings home with de- cided force the need for immediate action. "German agents in our midst are not a figment of the imagination but a very real danger" states Mrs. Smith. "In this war, if you cannot go to the front you will want to serve at home, especially now that our own losses are beginning to be felt, and we are at last actually realizing the war. Germany is mobilized to the last man and woman, and if America is to win this war, we must also mobilize those at home--every man and woman. Service at home does not necessarily mean that you must give up your family obligations or the time necessary for earning your livelihood. Such service can and should be given in your spare time. Immediate Action Necessary "The first thing you can do is to concern yourself with the desperate activities of the German Empire in this country. Some of these activities are political; others are industrial-- attempts at dynamiting our war plants and burning buildings. Still gothers are in the realm of propa- ganda--spreading propaganda under the guise of peace talk. "If you are an American citizen, if you believe in the ideal of life, li- berty, and the pursuit of happiness for which our forefathers gave their lives in the Revolution, you can aid American patriotism by enrolling at once in an organization like the American Defense Society. "The American Defense Society is a national propaganda society, re- cently characterized by the New York Sun as "the most outspoken op- ponent of German propaganda in this country". It is engaged in waging relentless warfare against 'enemy activities at home. Plan Series of Meetings "We propose to hold a series of meetings to gain members, in the near future, and among other things we hope to bring to this Village the greatest patriotic photoplay which has ever been produced, as a means of adding to the national fund for the prosecution of enemy activities, and the spreading of a pro-American propaganda." Some of the prominent women with whom Mrs. Smith will be associated in her new work are Mrs. J. W. Har- riman, Mrs. N. L. Beekman, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Mrs. Robert Lansing, Mrs. Charles S. Whitman, and other members of the Woman's | National Committee, which has been appointed to assist the American De- | fense Society in the important work which it is doing. Mrs. Smith has two sons service. Harold J. Smith is a second lieutenant of Ordnance and is super- vising engineer of tests, with head-| 3 Cedric A.

Because of the large number of non-swimming boys and girls who have enrolled the entire morning schedule of classes will be rearranged next week. The new schedule which will start next Mon- day, July 1, will be as follows: 8:15 A. M. Boys (Swimmers) daily except Saturday. 9:00 A. M. Girls (Swimmers) daily except Saturday. 10:00 A. M. Women (Swimmers and non-swimmers). : 11:00 A. M. Girls (Non-swimmers) daily except Saturday. 11:30 A. M. Boys (Non-swimmers) daily except Saturday. ; 2:00 P. M.

PAY 4 PLEDGE HOUSEWIVES START - YOUR CANNING NOW Women Are Urged by State Defense Body To Marshal last Year's jars and Begin Filling for Winter "lI can" is to be the motto, of Illinois women for the next three or four months. The addition of the Chicago motto making it "I will can" is not so much desired, for the season is open, and the present tense is the right tense, for the present. Jars and glasses that have been saved up from last year, together with many more jars and glasses, should be filled in every household in the state of Illinois, if the first of the large food crop which is expect- ed, is to be made to do its share in ,the winning of the war. Preserve Without Sugar Especial attention should be given to the drying processes and preserv- ing without sugar which saw their introduction last year. The point of view of our grand mothers, who had no factory supply to depend upon is the point of view recommended by the Food Production and Conserva- tion Committee of the State Council of Defense. More cans, and more cans and more cans, until the family supply stretches into the dim recesses of the cellar, and will stretch well over the cold days of the winter, is urged. * The State Council of Defense will be ready soon to supply instruction pamphlets from the agricultural de- partment at Washington, and the re- cipes from the agricultural colleges Obey These Commandments An Ohio draft board has put the legal rights of soldiers into a de- calogue (mostly of don'ts), which is called "Uncle Sam's Ten Command- ments." The "commandments" read: I. Thou shalt not evict, for non- payment of rent, a soldier's depend- ents, under penalty of $10,000 fine. II. Thou. shalt not cut off a soldier's life insurance, because of delayed premiums. III. Thou shalt not foreclose a mortgage on a soldier's property. IV. Thou shalt not take away a soldier's home on which he has made part payment. V. Thou shalt not sell a soldier's to all organizations requesting them 75,000 Pamphlets out More than 75000 of these pamph- lets are on their way. Work of the Food Production and Conservation Committee will be largely through organizations this year so that the greatest number of people can be reached. It will serve as a clearing house for all canning and drying programs, and will co- operate with the Committee on Women's Organizations and the Gar- den Bureau. But the great majority of Illinois housewives are already experts in canning and preserving, so they should begin now with the first fruits and berries. Can each in its season, and can all you can all through the summer and fall. property because of his failure to pay taxes, national, state or local. VI. Thou shalt not settle a law- suit against a soldiers during his ab- sence. ne VII. If a soldier sue, the courts shall 'postpone action until he can attend to it. VIII. If a soldier have a mine, or timber or farm claim, assessments on which are overdue, it shall be held for him. IX. Honor thy soldier and thy sailor, that thy days may be long in the land of liberty. X. No man hath greater love than he that offereth his life for the world's sake, and it is commanded that neither lawyers, nor the loan sharks, nor the gatherers of tithes shall fatten on him. : These "commandments" are good advice for all noncombatants, for the nation will preserve the rights of those who are in the service. PAY 4 PLEDGE 800 Food Penalties More than 800 penalties for viola- tion of rules and regulations govern- ing licensed dealers in foodstuffs have been imposed during the past 10 months by the Food Administration. About 150 companies and individuals have been ordered to quit business in licensed commodities for a limited or unlimited period, and over 500 have voluntarily made a money payment, usually to the Red Cross, or have temporarily abstained from doing business rather than risk calling down more drastic penalties.
