The reasons many times are hard to locate,,
but may be usually traced to some little thing.
The service this bank gives you is broad

ALL WOMEN
MUST REGISTER
MEETING    WILL    BE    HELD    IN
SALINE LATTER PART OF
APRIL
It Is Expected Definite Date TfttL Be
Announced Soon
Just what does the "- registration of women in the state of| Michigan mean? Why is it being undertaken and what, if any, are the obligations of the women who register?
These are some of the questions
which are still being asked concerning the registration af women.
In order to explain the registration
once again, Caroline Bartlett Crane,
chairman of the women's committee
of the Council of National Defense for
Michigan, has written the following
statement for Journal readers.
A registration of the woman-power
of Michigan is to be taken by the
Woman's Committee Council of National Defense, under authority of the
federal government and by proclamation of the governor of Michigan. The
half-imillion cards which it is estimated will b|3 required are to. be furnished by the state war preparedness
board.
This registration of women which
has .already been taken in New York,
Illinois and several other states. ;is
nation-wide in its scope. The object
here in Michigan, as in other states,
is to give every loyal woman an opportunity to oifer to her country such
service as she is best fitted to render-,
and to get this - offer down in such
shape that it will, be definitely available to the government, the state, or
tq some need in her home eommun-i
ity. If she wishes training for some
new 'kind of service, she registers for
that, and we undertake to furnish
Information as to where such: training (may be procured—be it training
as a" nurse, friendly visitor, ""telegrapher, wireless operator, motor
mechanician, or any of the 154 occupations listed an the registration
cards.
There is great need for such registration that we may be prepared to
meet the present and coming- demand
for women to take the places of men
called to military service, as well as
to fill -multitudes of new places in
industry, clerical work and public
service created by the war.
But the registration contemplates
much, more than this. Every loyal
woman above sixteen is wanted to
register, even though she can offer
little or no service outside of her own
home. If this war is teaching us anything, it is, that, national welfare and
military efficiency have 'their roots
back in the home and the school, and
in those beneficent social institutions
that are the heart of democracy. If,
for example, we h*ad done our duty to
Childhood and youth in past years,
we would not now face the shocking-
percentage of rejections for physical
defeqts and disease .among our drafted men; and thousands of children
who died in infancy anight have lived
ito fighjt for their country today and
enjoy the blessings of peace tomorrow.
go, when a woman says, "There is
nothing for me to register for; I have
*tQ give every moment of my time to
the care q£ my home and children,"
we will answer, "Register for that,"
and we wjll<try to send her away with
the proud feeling that she is serving
her country in a most vital way.
Of .course the vast majority of
women cannot be asked to go to other
places; they must render their service in their homes and homte communities, or not .at all. The community survey, taken in advance of registration, is designed to enable registers
to suggest opportunities of philanthropic service to such women. Local
philanthropies are crying out for such
help, because so many people entirely
forgot "thorn in their desire to render
service more visibly connected with
fthe •war- "It is just as patriotic to
save the "life of a baby at home as ofi
a soldier in France," we say.
Tips registration of women is really
in the line of universal military service talked of, but not yet realized,
for mien; placing each man where .he
can do the most ifor his country,
whether in the trenches, on the railroad or on the farm.
However, the registration is voluntary; women will not he drafted into
government service, and; if a woman
.registers for service at this time and
when called later, finds herself ^un
able, by changed , conditions, to respond to the call, no punishment or
criticism will fall upon her, nor will
she be compelled to service.
One point which we would like to
have all women remember is: This is
a government census, and if you are a
loyal woman, it should includte you.
Disloyal or unpatriotic women are
not asked to register.
It should be mentioned that one important advantage of registration is,
to have a registry of the capacity and
training of the women of the country
as the basis of the future work of the
Woman's Committee ofi the Council, of
National Defense.

IN HONOR OF
LIBERTY, LOAN
FIFTY PEOPLE MET AT THE
TAVERN ON TUESDAY
EVENING
Patriotic Address By Attorney Arthur
Brown and Sergeant Fi'ed
"Walir
At the meeting of the Liberty Loan
workers at The Tavern Friday evening it was apparent that Saline would
have no trouble in raising her quota
for the present drive, and it was
thought a little jollification session,
to. which the ladies should be invited,
would be in order., and the time was
set for Tuesday evening. That there
should be just reasons for celebrating
comimittees were, appointed to canvass all remaining territory on Monday and Tuesday, .and the work they
accomplished was -fully up to the
marks set earlier in, the campaign
and which were reported in our last
issue.
About fifty ladies and gentlemen
sat down to the tables Tuesday evening and partook of the good tilings
provided, while Saline's new orchestra discoursed sweet music in the
lobby. It was a happy occasion for
Chairman Fowler, whose assistants
had accomplished so much in such a
short time under" his able direction.
He called upon A. A, Wood, C. H.
Miller, E. A. Hauser, R. L. Finch and
Dr. Wallace to relate some of their
experiences while on the road and
the results achieved, which they did
to the edification of all. present. Some
amusing anecdotes were related along
with the figures representing the
totals realized on the several trips.
Mrs. C. IL Miller, chairman of
the Woman's Liberty Loan committee,
told of the success which crowned
the efforts of herself and able assistants. Miss Julia Gordon told of the
work accomplished by herselff arid
Mrs. Ralph Hammond in the country.
Collectively the ladies raised nearly
$10,000 and the report was accorded
a hearty cheer.
Attorney Arthur Brown of Ann Arbor was introduced by the chairman
and treated his listeners with a stirring all-American address. He reminded them that now is the darkest
hour of our history, and that the time
has come when there must be but one
language taught or preached in this
country, the English tongue. Hearty
applause attested the numerous hits
he scored, and we regret time and
space do not permit more extended
mention.
• Sergeant Fred Wahr of Camp
Custer was another honored guest,
and for nearly an hour held the rapt
attention of all as he recounted experiences of his college days in Germany, of the causes, which led up lo
this war and the years of preparation on the part of the Hohenzollerns
and their military backers to push
the Pan-German plan to a successful
issue no matter what the price in
■men and severed friendships among
nations. We wish we had the address in full and that we could plac.e
'the same in every home within ten
miles of Saline. Coming from a
young man who is of German parentage, educated to a degree which qualifies him to hold high -place in the
service of our country and yet so Ailed with the urgency and immensity
of the cause for which we fight that
he unhesitatingly enlisted as a private,1 his message was a clear yet
severe arraignment of the system
which has made little more than
slaves of the mass of the German
ipeople and fiends incarnate of the
Prussian rulers. For thirty years or
more, he told (and having lived there
he knows) nothing counts in Ger^
many but State, and such doctrine is
taught alike by teachers, preachers
and the military leaders, to the exclusion of all that might tend to
create in them a love for freedom and
a voice in their own affairs.
The orchestra played "America,"
after which all repaired to their
homes' much hotter citizens, if possible, for having spent such; an evening in the cause of liberty.
Saline, has achieved second place
In the county in going over the top
with the loan, raising more than
$12,000 above what was expected^ of
hen, giving her every reason in the
world to feel proud of her record.

You Need This
For Lame Back
*
*
Foley Kidney Pills   Simply
Drives The Cause of it
Out of Your System
Lame back, stiff, swollen, aching
joints* and rheumatic pains are the
result of weak, sluggish, inactive
kidneys. In this condition, they cannot keep the blood that feeds your
body free of the impurities that poison you and cause these painful
symptoms.
Foley Kidney Pills are so strongly
advised and recommended for these
troubles because of their direct and
beneficial effect on the kidneys, bladder and urinary system; and acting
through these important organs, on
the health of the entire body. Foley
Kidney Pills tone up weak and sluggish kidney action, ease a painful
and irritable bladder, stop rising, at
night, remove the cause of backache,
lame back,' stiff joints and rheumatism, due to imperfect kidney and
bladder action.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. "Wood of
Morrell, Maine, Box 18, R.F.D. 2, were
both rescued from the effect of weak
sluggish, imperfect .kidney and bladder action by the use of Foley Kidney
Pills. Mrs. Wood, writes: "Foley
Kidney Pills helped me so much, I
found relief as soon as I'began taking them. My husband is^also much
benefited, and feels so much better
since taking Foley Kidney Pills. He
was so lame he. could not stoop, had
to get down on his knees to pick up
anything, so lame he was. in his l>ack
and hips.
I remain always your well wisher,"
Mrs. Frank P. "Wood.
Foley Kidney Pills.are sold everywhere in 50c:aand>>?1.00=i-Eizes. The
