Oregon Club Women Advised to Help Liberty Loan. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw Point Out That Government Needs Their Aid. OREGON clubwomen must stand by the woman's committee and buy lib erty bonds. If a ' woman ' has some money she cannot use It to better ad vantage. Hear what Dr. Anna Howard Shaw says: 'The woman's committee is asked by the various departments to urge the state divisions to do certain bits of work whenever the Government wants drive. Now, the liberty loan drive is before us, and we should devote every energy to that. Do this by the spoken word, by newspaper advertis ing, by circulars, by every method you know. You can do much by a house-to-house visitation and by personal olicitation. "We are fighting to teach all the nations of the world the lesson we our selves have not fully learned, but toward which we are aspiring. We cannot build up one nation into a great democratic force while there lives in any part of the world a great auto cratic power built upon the militarism which seeks only for the destruction of other nations. It cannot be done. Army of Womrn Vital, "The first thing women want to get intotheir heads is this: that the army of men is not one thing, and the army of women another; that the army of men are not patriots and the army of women assistants to patriots. The army of women is an integral part of the army of the Government to carry on the war, and is of as vital Importance to the success of the war, as is the Army in the field. "We women are to do our part. We are to take our share in this work. Be fore you can get a billion dollars sold in bonds, you have got to sell one dollar's worth in bonds, and before you jan sell a billion bonds you have got to sell one bond. Now you and I can sell one bond, and they will never get their billions uutil we sell our ones. And it ought to be the consecrated Idea of every woman to buy a bond, if we have got to sell something that we have got. or haven't got, or to borrow something we never expect to pay, and start out in that way. Remember, when we get the bond we have got something that moth and rust cannot corrupt nor de stroy, something that will last, some thing that is ours. Liberty Bond Is Tie. "Now if you are able to buy one bond and there is somebody who is not able to buy any, don't buy two for yourself, buy one for another. I am going to tell you what I did .when the first bond drive came. I had something I could sell for a thousand dollars. I sold it. I thought I would get a thousand-dollar bond. Then I began to think of my family. You know an old maid has bigger family than anyone ese. I said. Now I am not the only patriot in the family. I have got a lot of youngsters who cannot afford to buy bonds, but I should be very mean to get a thousand dollar bond for myself, and not have the other members of my family get any. And so I divided up. Every niece and every grand-niece got a bond and they are tied up to the Government bv that little bit of a bond. "I am glad the Government had to call on the women in its financial flight. They thought women had never known anything about that, and never could know-anything about it. Now they rec- ognize that they cannot carry on great big financial scheme without getting the backing of the women. And the women must prove to the Govern ment that it was a great deal wiser than it thought It was in calling on the women." War Pictures Will Be Shown This Week.
