Advertise this in your respective communities. Women who desire the opportunity to help win the war may now hear said opportunity knocking, if they will listen. The government, through instructions sent to local labor boards, is calling upon them to get into every line of work they are able to do, and to get into it at once. "Wherever and whenever a woman can replace a man in a non-essential war service, she should do it," is, in effect, the government's appeal to women. : To help get women in greater num- bers into places now filled by men, local labor boards are instructed to add two women members to each board. Also local boards are to be called upon to list the industries of each particular community in which wom- en can take the place of men. It is indicated that such lists should in- clude clerks, ticket sellers and at- tendants of all kinds. Further, it is proposed that who are filling positions women might fill will be routed out of them by the "work or fight" order, if they do not get out and find jobs for themselves at essential war work. Men who do not do that, it is in- timated at Washington, will be look- ed upon as slackers and be treated as such. men Safe as the United States. Liberty Bonds. Buy He buys best who buys quickly.
