My Dear Club Members:
Do you realize that in Montana up
wards of $4,000 boys and girls have
enlisted in the State and National
Boys and Girls Production Club
work?
Every boy and girl has given
pledge to do his or her utmost to aid
our Government in food production.
We will be greatly disappointed if
a single boy or girl in Sheridan Coun-
ty fails to live up to this pledge.
When Fall comes we wish YOU to be
able to say, "Uncle Sam, we have
done our best"
Dry weather no doubt has made
it difficult to do all that we had
hoped. This means a greater effort
On your part.
Every new German drive in France
means that our boys over there must
fight that much harder. A lack of
water, a lack of pastRe means that
you must strive all the harder to
overcome these difficulties.
You are engaged in a work that is
laying the foundation for a useful
future. The boy and girl of the fut-
ure must have head that is trained
to think, hands that are skillful,
health that makes for efficiency, a
heart that is kind, sympathetic and
true Club work trains you along
these lines.
May l urge you to do your best
Keep your record book from day tc
day. A few club members have not
sent US the full membership cards
Please do so.
The best wishes for you for sue.
cess in your work.
Yours very sincerely,
M. J. LIBBY,
| State Club Leader

LEST We FORGET

The Farmers Elevators last spring
cleaned lot of seed grain for seed
which they planned on selling to the
county for seed. The farmers of the
county own these elevators and had
a right to expect to sell the seed
grain, but Sunny" Jim Redmond
and his board of county commission
ers thought different and the old
line elevators got the contract to sup
ply the seed grain at $3.50 per bush
ell, so it is reported, and the farmers
got the seed at $2.48 per bushel. 1t
comes high, but it was paytrotlc,
don't you know.
It is reported that the county COM
misioners were offered 10000 bush
els of No. l hard wheat, for seed last
spring at $2.1O per bushel. But be-
ing very patriotic, the board decided
to buy from the old line companies al
$3.50 per bushel. The farmers had
to pay for this paytriotism. 1t comes
high, but somebody needed the
money.
The petitions for a grand jury are
coming in and will soon be filed. Ii
it is called they will be asked to IN
vestigate a certain bridge contrac'
which will probably throw some ligh
on more paytrioteering.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

To successfully finance the war
it is necessary that owners of
Liberty Bonds hold their bonds
| if possible. Where for any good
reason it is necessary for them
to turn their bonds into cash,
they should seek the advice of
their bankers.
Liberty Loan Bonds are very
desirable investments, and crafty
individuals are using various
means to secure them from own
ers not familiar with stock values
and like matters. One method
is to offer to exchange for Lib
erty Bonds stocks or bonds of
doubtful organizations repre-
sented as returning much high
er income than the bonds.
There are various other meth
DDS used, and likely to be used,
some Of the gold-brick variety
and others less crude and prob
ably within the limits of the law.
All offers for Liberty Bonds eX-
cept for money and at market
value should be scrutinized care
fully. The bonds are the safest
of investments and have non-tax-
able and other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty Loan
Bonds, if possible, is patriotic.
To consult your bankers before
selling them, is wise.

ROOF PAINT FOR TREE WOUNDS

Many orchardists and tree sur
geons have found that the best
and most economical way of
treating tree wounds of all kinds
is to cover them with roof paint.
1t is easy to apply and farmers
throughout the country have
used it with benefit in the treat
ment of abrasions, cuts and
grating. 1t is heavy enough in
body to form a thick coating over
the wound, thus preventing in.
sects and the elements from
harming the tree. 1t is also very
easy to apply.
A professional tree surgeon
and pruner, who is taking care
of some 20, 900 trees, writes en-
Enthusiastically about it for use on
citrus trees. 1T is" he says,
the best thing | have ever used
or heard of. and being so well
satisfied | heartily recommend
Oronite roof paint to any and all
orchardists who may be inter-
ested in such paint"
The use of this paint is un-
doubtedly the best, most conven-
lent and economical way of heal
ing abrasions of trees, and it
greatly prolongs their life and
productiveness.

WITHOUT BLEMlSH

A. S. Hawkins, in his speech
at the City Hall, Monday night,
referred to Ex-Governor Camp
bell as a "placebo, which, when
taken by a patient, the patient
believes he is getting something
when, in fact, he is getting
nothing.
He said he liked Campbell per-
sonally, but that he was too
handsome for a man and not
handsome enough for a woman.
In this connection he designated
Campbell as the Absalom of Ari-
zona; quoting II Samuel, IA, rs,
inserting Arizona" instead of
Israel" and tom Campbell
instead of "Absalom,' making
the verse read as follows:
But in all Arizona there was
none to be so much praised as
Tom Campbell for his beauty,
from the sole of his foot even to
the crown of his head there was
no blemish in him.. y
He said the Biblical record
showed that Absolam's vanity
was the cause of his downfall,
and that his enemies finally got
his scalp, that Absolam had, by
the soft words of f1attery, won
the hearts Of Israel, like Camp
bell had won over certain demo-
cratic support in Arizona, but
that after the democratic pri-
mary, the democrats would get
together. the cry would be, ITO
your tents, O Israel" and that
the democrats would take Tom
Campbell's political scalp in No
vember. The Messenger.

DON'T HESITATE

If our soldier boys deliberated
as long over doing their duty as
some of our people at home hesi-
tate over doing theirs, the vic
tory would be doubtful.
1t is a sort of financial coward
ice to hesitate to put your money
in United States government Sc
curities, and to deliberate over
the wisdom and patriotism of
the investment is to hesitate in
supporting our soldiers.

WHAT ONE WOMAN DID

Have you ever said II can't, -
when the Red Cross asked for
aid or entertainment? There is
one woman in Stafford who works
regular Office hours and often
after hours, and yet she turned
over to the Red Cross fund,
recently, $1,000, as her efforts
for one evenings entertainment.
Yes, the weather is hot, but if
your hearts in the cause, you
will forget the weather.
Be ready when the Red Cross
calls you. Ask the Red Cross
what you may do.
