State Defense Council Issues q
Warning Against Unauth-
Orized Collections.

Helena, Dec. 27.-Possibly the most
important action taken by the State
Council of Defense at it's recent meet
ing in Helena, next to its action on
the question of furnishing seed grain
to farmers, was the adoption of a
resolution having for its object the
prevention of the collection of funds
for war activities by unauthorized
persons. The action was taken as the
result of request by the Council of
National Defense. The national coun-
Gil in referring to the many campaigns
made in behalf of war relief agencies
says among other things:
"The Council of National Defense
requests that all campaigns for pri-
vate aid be conducted in entire CO.
operation with state councils of de-
fense. We urge the people of the
country to contribute assistance, fin
ancial and otherwise, only to those
purposes and objects that are accred-
tied and approved by the council of
defense in each state."
The National Council of Defense
also suggests that the state council
approve appeals for financial aid only
where it shall be stated that an ac-
counting of the monies received and
spent shall be made public. The state
council of defense, while realizing that
it has no power or authority to pre-
vent unauthorized and in many cases,
fraudulent people, from soliciting
funds for alleged war purposes, never
theless it believes that, to some ex-
tent at least, it may protect the gen.
erous and patriotic people of Montana
from giving their money where the
chances are it will be wasted or not
put to the uses it is alleged it is in
tended for. In the effort to bring
about the desired results the State
Council of Defense adopted resolu-
tion requesting all organizations pro-
fessiing to be working for war pur-
poses as relief associations to report
to the state council the details of the
work it is doing; how organized, and
for what purpose, whether regular
meetings are held, and when; whether
minutes of meetings are kept and
whether regular books of account are
kept and audited; also statement
in reasonable detail of all monies re-
ceived and expended. These reports
to be given full publicity.
If these satisfactory requirements
are complied with and the showing
made is satisfactory to the State
Council of Defense, such organiza-
tions will be given a place upon a
published list of those having the ap-
proval of the state council and will
by it be recommended to the public.
Those so approved and recommended
will have the privilege of using upon
their printed matter some such word
ing as "Approved by the State Coun-
Gil of Defesse."
The state council decided that these
reports should be made to the secre-
tary, Chas. D. Greenfield, Helena, who
will publish them. 1t is suggested in
addition to the protection which will
thus be afforded such organizations
as the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A.,
the Knights Of Columbus and a few
other organizations Of national repu-

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK

The Farmer Boy and the Club
Member

/ desire to call the attention of
every father and mother in the

that has just been published by
Mr.. Benson of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. This
is a time when our boys should
be encouraged in every way
possible to produce food a n d

slider this matter seriously and

THE FARMER BOY AND THE CLUB
MEMBER
A farmer boy works ten hours
a day, plows and cultivates the
earth, feels no sense of owner
ship, has neither heart or head
interest in his work. That's
drudgery.
A farmer boy gets up early in
the morning, works all day, has
no partnership with his father,
no chance of recreation, is de-
MED club fellowship, has n
ownership in cows and animals
such as corn, baby beef, pigs, or
