REGISTRATION day for women
in Nebraska is September 12.
It is a war measure advocated
by the National Council of De
:e, but is voluntary, not com
pulsory. Mrs. A , E. Sheldon, state
chairman ot registration, issues the
following explanation for the big
woric on tnat day;
"Registration" simply means sign
x ing your name and address and stat
ing what you can or will do in the
way of service fur your country at
this time. If you wish to be paid for
your service, say so. Nothing will be
done to you if it becomes impossible
for you to render the service for
which you pledge yourself.
No guarantee is made that you will
be given the work you ask for, or the
compensation which you may con
sider it necessary to receive, but the
probability is that the work and work
ers in this state will be so organized
through registration that each
woman may be given to do that which
she prefers.
While registration is voluntary, it
is the wish of President Wilson that
all states offer women this oppor
tunity to record their willingness and
power to aid the country. Governor
Neville, in his ptoclamation naming
the day for registration, said that
armies alone wduid not suffice to win
the present war, but that our forces
at home must be mobilized for such
service as they can best render.
The 300,000 women eligible to reg
istes. in Nebraska representwomen of
different nationalities, experiences,
training and abilities. But the variety
of qualifications they possess is no
greater than the variety of work
which needs to be done".
You may give service to your conn
try effectively without leaving your
own home and your duties there.
Look over the registration card and
you will see that there are 154 dif
ferent kinds of service listed and
twelve definitely named objects for
contribution. 1 he chief types of serv
ice are as follows 'Affririittnral. rler.
icaf, domestic, industrial, professional,
public service, social service, mis
cellaneous and contributions. Trained
and untrained helpers are needed in
all these branches. Some services
will bcpaid for; others will be volun
teer, and still others will be done for
expense money only.
It is. not necessary that you speak
ine jengusn language, i here is much
you can do to aid your country in
bringing this war to a successful and
speedy conclusion
Go to your precinct polling place
on September 12 and tell your reg
istrar what you can do, be it little or
much.
Men are going to war. and women
are taking their places in positions
never before filled by women. As the
war continues the need for all classes
of service by women will become
more pressing. It you wish to be in
line for a position you are qualified
to fill, register on September 12. Your
service does not necessarily have to
be volunteer. There are some kinds
of employment for which the govern
ment is glad to pay. State on your
registration card whether you wish
compensation or not. This may be
your opportunity, to engage in work
which Uncle Sam needs to have done
and, at the same time, you may re
ceive compensation and perhaps a
valuable experience for it.
In Nebraska the women will reg
ister at the regular polling places in
each precinct. Hours of registration
suggested are from 7 a. rm-to 7 p. m.
Women are as patriotic as men.
They v-tll prove it by registering in
large numbers. Like the women of
Russia, the women of Nebraska will
fight. It may not be with sword, but
it will be with the same spirit of loy
alty and sacrifice It is not strange
that the call to make fhe world safe
for democracy stirs the soul of every
woman who dreams of a world of
peace, justice and beauty. The wom
en, by registering and expressing their
willingness to do the hard and menial
tasks of the nation, as well as the
charitable ones, will, in addition to
the service actually rendered, give
courage to brave ones who are offer
ing their lives to the cause of this
war, and shatrfe slackers to action.
Can you answer "yes" to the follow
ing questions:
Are vou a woman over 16 years of
age? Do you really love your coun
try? Do you realize that your coun
try is at war? Do you think there is
anything you can do to help your
country in (the present crisis? Are
you willing to write down on a card
what you think you can do? Do you
believe organized endeavors cotlnt for
more than scattered efforts?
If you can answer "yes" to the
above questions, then do not fail to
register on September 12.
September 1 the new federal child
labor law took effect. Hereafter no
child under 14 may be employed in
any factory, mill, workshop or Can
nery in the United States whose prod
ucts are to be shipped in interstate
commerce, and no child under 16 in
any mine or quarry. The working
day of children 14 and 15 years of
age in factories may not be longer
than eight hours and they may not
be employed between 7 p. m. and
a. m.
The enforcement of the law. has
been delegated by the secretary of
labor to the children's bureau of the
Department of Labor and the head of
NEW PRESIDENT NORTH
SIDE W. C. T. U.
the new child labor division of the
bureau is Miss Grace Abbott of Chi
cago. The issuing of federal certificates
of age m states where -( the state re
quiremei. s for proof of age are below
the federal standards has already be
gun and the methods of co-operation
with state officials has been worked
out. Although the children's bureau
will have its own permanent staff of
inspectors and will, when necessary,
uuudic us own proceedings tor prose
cution in case of violation, it will so
far as possible avoid duplication of
the work of state labor officials.
As an aid to the children's bureau
m the enforcement of the child
labor law the women's committee of
the Council of National Defense at
Washington has just issued an appeal
to all women who wish to help Amer
ican youth in war time, urging them
to see that all children under 14 are
enrolled in school and as lvinc them
to forward to the womens' commit
tee iniormation about their own com
munity, answering the three simple
questions which the committee has
prepared:
1. Areall children between 6 and
14 in your town, countv or school dis
trict in school?
2. How do you know
3. Are anv children in need nt
scholarships in order to attend
school?
Two days full -.of business, inter.
spersed ,with recreative social doings
have been arranged for the state and
county women's committees of the
Council of Defense which meet in

not been worn extensively for several

Mr. Winget showed me some beauti

do like the quiet, subdued colors-and
can heartily recommend the boots at
this shop they have quality as well
as heaps of style. There's hosiery to
