The government has called 80'
men to the colors from Dawson
county. These young men, rang
ing in age from 81 to 81 years
represent the cream of our young
manhood. In many cases tht
withdrawal has been so gradua
that our attention was attracted
only for the time, as this young
man or that one gave up his home
surroundings to fight the battle Of
our country.
Although some of us have moi
responded to the call of active
military duty, there is still the call
to every man, woman and child in
Dawson county to do his part in
the maintainence of these same
young men in the front rank of
our country's battles. Without
the support of the home people,
nothing can be accomplished, and
for this reason the government
has asked every one, man, woman
and child to do ''his bit" by loan
ing-not giving-his dollars and
quarters to carry out successful
war. 1t is costing us, and by us
is meant, you good citizens of
Dawson county, about thirty
thousand dollars a month TO sup
port our own boys-our friends,
our sons, our brothers, our faith
ers-on the firing line. A call
has come to twelve hundred men
and women of Dawson county to
promise to loan thirty dollars a
month for the next eight months
to our government for the sup
port of those boys who are help
ing to make this country free
and self respecting nation. Every
other community in the United
States is confronted with the same
problem. Shall we ask another
community to share our burdens
with their own? We believe that
the Independent spirit of the west
is part of the very atmosphere
which we breathe and that every |
heart beats with the determina-
ton to do his part to the very ut
most. As self-respecting mem
Der of the state of Montana we
must come out and take our part
in the War Certificate Campaign.
Dawson county's allotment for
the War Certificate Campaign. is
1898, ,726.00. To reach this goal,it
is necessary for twelve hundred
men and women to loan for the
next eight month at least thirty
dollars month. Where do you
stand, good reader? Are you go
ing to be one of the faithful ones?
Don't wait to be solicited, this is
as much your fight as any ones.

lnder which he lives. He knows j
hat whatever part this country is t

much personality to him. 1t is {
Unnecessary to urge, all that is
equired is to call his attention to j
ne fact that there is a call to duty b
