Their success is now most Interest ing history. Tho foreign papers and even tile cables lutve carried countless stories of Hie glowing successes attend ing llie work of women. They have entered the Holds, tilling (he soil and reaping bountiful harvest by labor which racked their brains anil bodies.

Tho American woman took her first determined step when she Interested herself In the first issue of Liberty loan bonds. In groups and individu ally they argued with those able to Invest lu war bonds, nnd the country knows how splendidly they succeeded. , Then followed the Itrd Cross socio, j ty campiilun for a fund of J lim.OOO.iHm.
