until we receive notice from Wash
Ington, D. C.
A few explanatory points:
1. The registration Is purely vol
untary and in no way compulsory.
, The purpose Is to secure an of
ficial record of the woman power of
the country, so that In case of emer
gency the government may know
where to turn for needed service.
Our next work will be the signing
of the Hoover food pledge.
3. Even though a woman offers
her services when she registers, she
will not be required to give that serv
ice If her circumstances have changed
when she Is (failed upon to serve and
asked to fulfill her promise.
4. The registration is not designed
to take women from their homes at
any time unless they are willing to
serve away from home.
Women registered as follows: Ag

October 9 as Fire Prevention day.
The proclamation, after reciting the
needs of conservation of resources In
view of the great war, the large loss
es annualy from fire, much of which
is preventable, says:
"I, Janvss Wlthycombe, governor,
do hereby set aside and proclaim
Tuesday, October 9, 1917, Fife Pre
vention day. and urge upon .every
school in the state that appropriate
exercises be held to Impress upon
the minds of the young the dangers
that exist, from fires, and that jevery
good and loyal citizen observe the
day by cleaning his own home or
business premises, to the end that the
mills' machine may answer the sub
marine; that the furrows may con
quer the trenches; that want may not
be brought by waste, and that pre
vention may . be fostered by attention."
