IL is the surest, safest and best in
'Sestment IN the world. 1t is purely
selfish, in its final analysis.
In the latter end Of June MANY
thousands of Montana citizens. both
men and women, pledged themselves
70 buy regularly certain amount Of
war Savings Stamps. They pledged
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Nc
Adoo, over their signature, that he
could depend upon them to loan the
government so much every month.
Iney said it so emphatically that he
mas taken it into his consideration
When planning expenditures for buy
ing clothes and ammunition for our
fighting boys in France.
Are the citizens of Montana keen
ing their pledges? Are they buyine
all the War Savings Stamps thew
promised? Many. are, we are glad
to say and we are very sorry to re-
port that a considerable number are
not. We hope that we shall soon be
able to report that practically all
are keeping their pledge.
There should be no hesitation or
reservation or petty argument. These
pledges should be kept by all. Your
County Director should not have to
beg for this loan to your Govern
ment. You should render full meas
IRE in this hour when the Govern
ment is justified in claiming your
full support. You have pledged your
honor by written agreement with |
your government to loan it your saw
ings. You have promised to make |
these savings as much as it is pos
sible even to the point where saving
hurts. Are you doing it? Does your
innerself answer eyes, to the point
where it hurts?" Your honor calls
upon you to keep faith with the
Treasury Department, to buy the
War Savings Stamps you promised
to buy. Your patriotism calls upon
you to 60 further and loan more than
you promised. Your sweetheart,
your brother, your husband, your
father, calls from the battle lines in
Europe, imploring that you save and
even sacrifice and loan your savings
FOR their maintenance; that you do
FOR them what you would others to

The big War Savings Drive of
June 28th brought out many inter-
.sting facts not directly connected
With the War Savings Campaign.

This list shows a number of aliens {

Who refused to buy for the reason
hat they expected to return to the !
