nation to fear tho future. but there are . fcw
stubborn facts that we have got to confront.
II We n not TO have (Which NAV or may
not bo true) the large inflow Of money tom
Ores that wo have been accustomed to. and
poses. In other words. the substantials and
necssaariss OF life, great chunks OF money
day after day. We are soon TO going to run

No pay DAkotn farmers or Nebraska farm
ers or any other farmers outside of Mon

raised and 10 raised At home? / want tho
teaders of your paper to think of this, l
want the people OF Helena TO think OF II. !

public spirited mon started mill to help
the town and people persisted in buying

give serious oonslderation to this subject.
You must remember that In using Montana
-four We are not only aiding the farmers
and producers. but We are also aiding ono
branch of manufacturing and that a very
important one. noticed in a paper onl.
