Three distinct "Sy O. S." calls have come to the women of America from the great commander-in-chief of our country. These calls, being interpreted, mean: Sow or starye. Subscribe of slacker be. Save or suffer defeat. i We are told that food and money are j needed to win this war. Would you not feel proud if Newberry should be | the one to furnish the last crust tliati is needed to give liberty to the world? Our government has sent out thess! calls for service to the women of I j America. Let us realize the signifi-i canoe of the fact that this is tiie j first time in the history or our coun-j try that service has been asked of the women of the United States by the, government. We would prove our-1 selves worthy of the confidence of our country and of our president. The call has come to each woman of Newberry county to plant a winter garden, buy a Liberty bond and conserve food products. Should we fail 10 neen iae voice ui uur guveismcm, we justly shall be called slackers as much as the soldier who fails to serv J his county in time of war. , "His not to reason why. His but to do or die." Are you willing that our sons, a million strong, go forth to fight our battles while we turn a deaf ear to these calls? For what are they fighting? For the highest ideals that ever nerved the arm of a soldier ? ) for the honor of our flag, the humanity of the world, the purity of womanhood,. Are you not willing, then, to serve your country by saving food and by; buying a bond? The money loaned, to the United States is used in .equip- j ping the men for the army and sus-i taining them. There are 8,043 families in Newberry county. Let there be 8,043 food cards signed next week, when the Woman's committee will call upon you. Be ready and willing to receive them. Talk food conservation and Liberty bends at your social meetings. They "talk" as interest.) ingly as knitting~and Red Cross. The township chairman for the Woman's committee are: (No. 1?Mrs. W. H.

We made an effort to. get a complete list, but have not been able to do so as yet. . . The Woman's committee has been jailed upon to help secure subscriptions to the Liberty loan bonds. We would Suggest to the patriotic women Df Newberry county that you examine the contents of your purse most carefully and see if you cannot buy! i bond. Do this for your country. Rfe would suggest that ^the different jrganizations of women's clubs, aid societies, U. D. C's., etc, buy a bond [f our country wins?and win she nust?we shall feel that, in a measire, we have been heroes by doing arhat we con Id. In the Liberty loan campaign, your chairman insists that you do not^1 f^ait to be solicited to buy bonds, but jlease go to any of the Women's com., nittee, or to the Men's committee, I md place your name on the greatest iage of the history of lAmerlcar?thf >art you have been called upon to lelp make during this great war. | We received our Liberty bond oriers late; so let every iroman and ivery woman's organization in the county spread the propaganda that 'food "will win the war," and liberty jonds will buy the food to ivin tne *-ar. Let who-soever can buy a bond. :t is a safe investment and a partriotc duty. The food campaign will begin next \ Monday and close in time for you to - - J ^ -1 J -V ? 1 ,1+V, I ?o-io_5"unaay-seuuui :\uveiuuer nu. In this campaign you are asked to )ledge yourself in the saving of food j j f you have already signed a food j :ard Just give your name to. the com- ^ nfttee, so a complete list can be kept rhere is to be a bier contest among ' he counties as to which can get tfte ' argest per cent of families to belong I to the United States Food administration. Only one card is intended for a family. If the 8,043 families of Newberry county sign the cards, we shall have a 1UU per cem painuuc ajuiu;. - * home card will be given you which is to be placed on the front door or in a front window. This is for the convenience of the committee. We ask the cooperation of me preachers and the teachers in botii the Liberty loan and the food campaign. The preachers could greatly aid us by talking food conservation and preaching food conservation. Th: teachers have great influence in the school room; if they teach food conservation, the children will be impressed and take more thought in saving food. We hope to see the teachers of Newberry county go on record as Liberty bond buyers. May every teacher, man to man and woman t. woman, back Uncle Sam by purchas ing a bond. J'rYbmen of Newberry county, win you not answer the "S. 0. S." call? that have come toiyou? If you can and will not, you are a slacker,. ff a soldier refuses to serve his country, he is courtmartialed. The suffering during the war has been fearful. All Eurape today is on rations. We are told that all the suffering combined during the Civil war wan cot as great as one month's suffering during this war. Can you conceive of it? i If you have nothing more to do ?n I this war than to buy a Liberty bono, j mix a little meal with flour, go without a little sugar, have a few meat j less meals a wvek?if you are called ! upon to make no greater sacrifice? .tlac these?then thank your God. lor I you will be blessed above many ria tions.

Among Dr. Cromer's tello r\r\rtO 1 a fn** IXLg Ct r^UUUCJLLLS ailU ivi "Totes for Women," the following was the most effective: "I think the time has come when we should quit appealing to the doctrine of states rights in order to perpetrate a national wronfe." Among the decided gains of suf' frage this year in South Carolina may be noted the endorsement of "Ballots for Both" by the Federation of Women's clubs. Several delegates from local leagues reported that their legislators who formerly were hostile had "personally" expressed themselves as having a change of heart"?no comment needed. The convention put itself on record after heated discussion, as favoring ihs federal amendment method of securing equal suffrage. The Women's Christian lem.perance movement was endorsed. The league pledged itself to work for securing a minimum wage for women. Money to buy a Liberty bond was pledged in a very fev minutes by the] delegates present.
