VL0UME3. McCRORY, ARKANSAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1918 NUMBER 30
Woodruff County Women
Should Not Fail to Register
The week beginning Feb. 17
to 23 has been set aside for the
registration of the women of Ark
ansas and it is urged that all
women go to the places desig
nated in their communities to reg
ister their names.
Registration is voluntary:
women will not be drafted into
government service and will not
be taken from their homes for
service either here or in Europe,
unless they definitely offer them
selves for such service.
The dates and places at which
our ladies will be expected to reg
ister is as follows: At the post
office at McCrory, Saturday, 16;
Jelks, Monday, 18; Deview and
Grays, Tuesday, 19; Morton, Wed
nesday, 20; Barnes School House,
Thursday, 21, and McCrory, Sat
urday, 23.
the duty ot registering applies
to those who feel that they will
not have time for other duties
than they now discharge, as
well as to those who have the
time and are willing to help di
rectly in the work which the war
has brought. There are some who
will be able and willing to take
the places of men who have been
called to the colors. There are
others who will help in the work
of caring for the families of those
who have gone to the front.'
There are still others who will be
glad, through the Red Cross and
other like organizations, to help
to minister to the comfort and
welfare of our soldiers in the
field. There are a thousand ac
tivities for which women are
peculiarly fitted, and which wil 1
help greatly to maintain our
morale in the field, and, what is
equally important, to maintain
our morale at home. The regis
tration cards which will be pro
vided at the places of registra
tion will enable each woman to
easily and fully indicate where
her chief usefulness to our
country will be in this crisis.
A general registration ot our
women will bring cheer to our
soldiers in the field, strength to
our government, and will give
notice to the world that the
spiritual resources of Woodruff
county and the State of Arkan
sas are mobilized in the prosecu
tion of this most righteous war.
